Filing for 2nd K-1 ADVICE NEEDED

[FROG 0]

My K-1 was approved. She arrived here (USA) in Feb 2009. The relationship failed ... she had an anger management problem. She would scratch, hit, slap, bite when she became angry(6-7 total). So bad that the last time she was seen abusing me, the law was called and she was arrested. I bailed her out of jail. She is now back to her country. She returned to Philippines the day before her her VISA expired. The local USCIS had me submit her "arrest record" and "photos of abuse" and a "personal statement" which I complied. They told me I did not need to file or contact any other USCIS, NVC, or EMBASSY to clear myself from her so that I can be FREE to petition my new Fiancee. This VISA expired so I think there is no problem filing for someone else...

Now MY QUESTIONS:

I am ready to file a new K-1 immediately. I pray that I do not encounter any problems getting an approval for this new Fiancee'. I have ALL evidence needed and I am ready to file immediately. Does anyone know for sure if I need to contact anyone ( USCIS, NVC, or EMBASSY, etc. ) before hand to eliminate possible delays? I see in the bottom half of I-129F that I need to submit a statement about any previous I-129s filed within the past 2 years... What is the best advice for me in my situation??? Please give me any advice or help if you can... God Bless

Hey there, Sorry to hear about your previous relationship. My step-brother had a similar situation as yours. He did just as you said. He submitted a statement regarding his previous 129 and the circumstances regarding the situation. That is all he had to do and he had no problems filing the new K1 and getting an approval. Good luck to you. Mike

When I went for my second lady's visa USCIS informed me I had to sent them a notarized letter withdrawing my first petition. Did so and got a cancellation notice from them and went ahead with success woth my second petition.

Just checked with my brother. He had to do that too but had no problems with his second petition.

Thank you for the info... This leads me to now ask,

"Do I send this notorized letter of withdrawal for first petition" seperate ( if so, to who/address?)

or do I include it with this I-129F filing?

And is this what they are asking for or in adition to what they are asking for in the lower portion of I-129F

But do I even "need" to "withdraw" something that has already EXPIRED?

My brother said he sent his separately but you bring up a good question. I don't know if you still need to withdraw a petition that has already expired. I am sure someone here on VJ can answer that question for you.

Probably don't. My petition was still at USCIS after being returned after embassy denial. I imagine it was still active.

You will need to file the waiver letter. Nothing else except what you already did with the first petition.

So she left in April and by August you have another fiancee? Very fast man you are!

Actually good luck for her at the interview; I would guess this small time lapse will be a red flag for the CO at the embassy.

Not according to the story "She arrived here (USA) in Feb 2009." and "She returned to Philippines the day before her her VISA expired." This would mean with the math involved even if she arrived Feb 1st and left May 1st, its August 4th so only about 90 some odd days have passed and he's ready to petition a new fiance "I am ready to file a new K-1 immediately. I pray that I do not encounter any problems getting an approval for this new Fiancee'. I have ALL evidence needed and I am ready to file immediately"

Can anyone say whirlwind romance.

I'm not being judgmental, i'm just sayin'...

Good Luck in your new journey

OK, you asked. You had a previous relationship fail because you did not know about her anger management issues. Obviously one may conclude that you did not have a deep enough relationship for this to come out.

Now 3-4 months after the first (unless you were seeing the second while with the first) you want to marry again. How do you know you have a bonafide relationship with this woman? Is there a major issue with her that you haven't had the time to uncover? How long did you date the first?

My advice, take it easy tiger and relax for a year. Let the relationship develop. Like I said before, the small gap in time between the two will most likely be questioned at the interview, especially from her country.

I thought I was asking for info about filing .... ???

Anyway... To appease the few peoples questions above >>> I already knew the current person that I am with now... before meeting the one I filed for already. We, the one I'm ready to file for now, decided together in the past to hold off for a time... meanwhile... I met the woman that I filed for. So we do already have a relationship with some foundation from the past... So I already know her character as she knows mine also... It's not like we JUST met ! We have "reunited".. she and I are both ready this time to proceed. Thank you for your desire to know me on a more personal level.

I appreciate those of you here that have have offered good help and advice... THANK YOU

So I would still like to leave MY QUESTIONS OPEN... Is there anyone that can offer me advice on MY QUESTIONS?

God Bless

Good Advice. I would urge you to consider what baron555 is telling you. Otherwise you may wind up right back where you started.

Well, FROG seems an appropriate handle. You jumped from the first relationship into the second relationship and then jumped from the second relationship back to the first relationship. Good luck Hoppy. .......(P.S. I am just adding a little humor to it in a nice happy way, ya, know, just tickling your rib.....bits :dance:

Thank you... I understand your advise, and do appreciate it. I have already considered that. But as you can see, I have decided to proceed... after all I am thinking along this line... there is at 5 months or more wait before any possible interview from the time I file... then the petition will be valid for additional 6 months and then an additional 90 days(3 months) before we would reach a possible deadline... so considering if we plan this right, Not rush here right after an issuance of VISA, and Not getting married the moment she arrives... we will have more than 1 1/2 year (ALL THIS IN ADDITION TO OUR PREVIOUS TIME TOGETHER) to develop deeper and if we feel positive at the end of the deal line... we will be ready to marry without waiting for filing and approval times... Hope this looks a bit clearer?

Thanks again

God Bless
