Filing for 2nd K-1 ADVICE NEEDED

[baron555 934]

Please give me any advice or help if you can... God Bless

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.

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

Robby, you asked for advice and you've been given some solid stuff. USCIS knows about when you filed your first petition and they will pass that information along to the embassy. The CO who will interview your present fiancee will know. They will know. From what add'l info you have provided, if you just take a step back you can see that you started with one person, then stopped, then filed for the second woman. That didn't work so now it's back with number one.

I don't judge that you are not sincere, but your timeline with these two women and filing for the first K-1 and then now so quick with another just raises all sorts of red flags.

The possible worst case problem is they deny her the visa based on not a bonafide relationship. You may be able to appeal and you may or not win that. Totally worst case is that she is marked in the system and you never get it granted.

You have to demonstrate a bonafide relationship up to and at the time of the interview, you don't get credit for future time spent together. Your thinking is wrong in that regard.

The K-1 is not a "let's see if this will work" visa. It is a marriage visa. You are supposed to know and you both sign letters of that intent that you want to and state to marry the other person. If need this additional time to ensure the relationship is real and will work, then you should delay this amount of time. Then and only then should you file.

I'd really consider you put some time between the two filings to things look better to the CO. I'd ask in the Phils regional forum for advice from Phils related folks. Good luck.

WAIT. OP filed for Bachelorette #1, then backed down and filed for Bachelorette #2 and is now going to file once more for Bachelorette #1? I am very, very confused.

Well, did you? I am confused and trying to understand your situation better, so relax dude.

You simply need to write a letter (not notarized) requesting a waiver under IMBRA and giving some proof of what happened to #1. The USCIS will not blink at approving your petition, if the waiver request accompanies it, and unless you can't give evidence that you two have met within the last two years. THEN it will be up to USEM to ask all the tough questions about your romance, i.e., if it is bona fide, etc. That's where it will be a bit sticky, perhaps.

I think this is all you need to know. As to your choice of partner, think about the lesson you should have learned and then act.

Thank you ... So submit a "waiver" ? IMBRA ? How do I contact them? Who are they? What waiver?

I have the previous email comunitations between me and the local USCIS office that can be provided, I have the copy of my statement I sent to them as they requested that gives details of the events, I have a copy of the arrest record which all validate my reason for ending that relationship. I'm confident that I can provide proof as needed.

Also, I have met with my current Fiancee within the past 2 years even again just as late as three weeks ago with all boarding pass / hotel / tralvel / etc. to provide.

Thank you

Try the Guides tab at the top of the pages as well. There is a lot of useful information. Also, the Waivers forum.

You dealt with IMBRA on your previous K1 petition (we all did).

Len, Pay attention!!!!!!

Bachelorette #2 IS ACTUALLY bacherlorette #1, but she was busy or something...so Bachelorette #2 became bacherlorette #1 (pinch hitter of sorts) Now he is back to bacherlorette #1 and she is in her rightful place which makes everything clear to me and now I do not feel like the OP is jumping into anything too soon. I was confused also and thought he was just treating women like disposable objects but now he has explained it and I see that all is aligned as it should be, or should have been. I cannot imagine he would have any trouble with the consulate in Manilla.

Good luck Frog.

Good luck trying that logic with the CO at the Consulate interview. But then, not my petition! What do I care if you don't.

You submit a request for a waiver under the IMBRA as a simple 2-paragraph letter to USCIS, with whatever proof you offer stapled to it, accompanying your petition. It's just part of the I-129f package, and won't slow down the processing. Don't ask why....it's their regulation based on the fact that ordinarily, one can submit no more than one petition in a two-year period. You are asking them to waive that 2-year guideline.

Goodluck!

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

Please don't jump to conclusions... my comment " I am ready to file a new K-1 immediately." seems to be taken out of context. the key word is "READY" ... I simply mean I have all documents and receipts etc. as required. I am trying to clear up in advance for the past mistake now so that I can file with no worries... I do not necessary mean file immediately today... only meant that I have everything else in place ... nothing else to work on but the excess baggage...
