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. :whistle: .......(P.S. I am just adding a little humor to it in a nice happy way, ya, know, just tickling your rib.....bits :devil::dance: :dance:

Thank you Brian. I appreciate a little humor in all this. I hope that I will be as blessed as those of you who have completed the journey...

Anyway onward I go in spite of.... @#$^!@!

Thank you and the other serious post that I received..

God Bless

I'd ask in the Phils regional forum for advice from Phils related folks. Good luck.

You have a link to "Phils regional forum ?

At the top of every VJ page you will see a tab labeled Forums.

Thank you, I guess I was too tied up in the posting area..

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.

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.

I was a bit disturbed at your first post... I am glad you read and understand. Thank you so much for this post ... I appreciate your kind words. I wonder sometimes if some of the posters here really want to help or if they just want to be heard...

God Bless

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

God Bless

Robby

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.

Once again... Thank you for the information... this is what this site is about right... GREAT people helping others in need... GOD BLESS

Thanks again

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.

you have a beautiful family... congrats... i will pray for continued success..

God Bless

Robby

Sorry Mike... I must have not quoted your post...

Thanks for the helpful information... Your brother made it... Hopefully I will also...

Well its actually Parul posting on VJ but nevermind. Nobody here is thinking and giving you responses that will not cross the CO's mind during the interview. The point is your posts do sound like you are a bit too eager to file. The truth is the CO will look at the timelines and question the seriousness of the relationship. You need to keep that in mind and prepare accordingly which also probably means give more time between the 2 filings.

Robby, yes some here have been a bit snide in their comments but all have the same theme, which you seem to be oblivious to. That is the timing of the two petitions is very much a red flag. And knowing the little I personally know about the embassy in Manila, I think you WILL have a problem.

We actually want to point this out to you since you asked for our advice.

Here is the Phillippines regional forum. Ask your question there since those folks have the detailed knowledge. We all really want to see every immigration be a happy one, really. Good luck.

Hello, I understand your point... as well as everyon else's.. I am not oblivious to your point... it's my point that is mis-understood...

I am ready... I'm not saying I am filing TODAY...

It seem most are reading too deep into my question..

I just need to know how to clear up the mistake I made... I know when , how long to wait... before filing.

I am ONLY trying to break loose from the old petition RIGHT NOW.... so that when I do file it won't be a stumbling block...

WHY PROCRASTINATE and wait until I file??? I want to clear up my mistake right away so it is gone...

Thanks again for all the help.

God Bless

Robby, I'm sorry to say that, you cannot blame us to think THAT YOU WANTED TO FILE FOR A NEW K-1 VISA IMMEDIATELY. This is the line you made " 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." So, based on reading that, it's seems that you are in a hurry to file your K-1.

Sorry to be rude, but for me, it's seems like you just changed clothes! Anyways, good luck to your second K-1 petition..

FROG,

Your avoidance of a tough question might make one suspect that your previous sweetheart's abusiveness was driven by the discovery that you were still in contact with your now-current sweetheart. If this is correct, then closely timed K-1 applications and volatile women are the least of your problems.
