I have had two previous K-1 visas in the past sixteen years. Both marriages were sadly ended in divorce. There are extenuating circumstance involving the loss of a child.

:help: I filed a Request for Waiver along with the IMBRA RFE. Have others filed such a waiver request and has anyone heard what criteria the USCIS is using to judge such waiver requests?

Making this law retroactive is pretty shocking. It is not as though I have done anything wrong, but my ability to get a visa for my fiancee may be in jeopardy?

I am also very interested to know for SURE, if having two previous K-1 visa would affect my filing of a K-3 visa in case the waiver for 1 more K-1 is denied. All the legal language I see states specifcally "K-1" visas. Yet, I hear rumblings of the K-3 visas being also affected?? :wacko:

My only choice would be to marry my fiancee in the Phils and seek a K-3 or CR-1 visa for her. If that is not possible, do I have to leave the US and move to another country to be with the woman I love so much? Even though neither of us has done anything wrong??? :angry:

My waiver request was a factual 3 page document backed up by about 10 pages of documentation.

Please share information here or by PM. :thumbs:

Thanks,

Rob

Unfortunately there are no guidelines for the waivers yet. It could just be a rubber stamp for approval or very strict guidelines they must follow. I haven't seen any guidance on that part of it yet. Maybe a call to the USCIS or a lawyer is in order here.
