I'm new here and need help.

No need to worry, just remember that in life there are things in the way, and sometimes you fall, it truly depends on how you get up from a fall, and the end is what matters, so as long as you have love it will all work out in the end. Binh and I were denied, the CO straight up lied, didnt like my past or something, so I willingly moved here and have not second guessed my decision one bit, as like you all that matters is that Binh and I are together. I am sure with god/buddha's help you will get through this one way or another and you two will be sharing many memories together. Good luck

Jerome and Binh

I like your last message but I'm sorry that you were denied. Are you going to apply again, or it doesn't matter anymore since you two are already together? I'm sure my fiance would love to move here too so I'm not worried about that part. I mostly worry about going to the consulate again. People work there are pretty mean and I don't want to feel like a beggar.

Our only reason for even trying to get the K1 was so Binh could meet my family and friends, we were going to move back to Vietnam and I was going to teach like she does, so for now we are not planning on ever filing for another visa accept maybe a visitor visa so that she can meet my family. Don't be sorry, we will have a better life here in vietnam the cost of living is so cheap, and the pay for teachers is good, but most importantly we are together and happy as you will be. Jerome

Yeah, like Jimmy also wants me to meet his family and friends. They're nice people. If I can't meet them over there they're still coming in Jan or Feb next year to be on your wedding or engagement ceremony. I can't wait!! I also told him that he can get a teaching job here. He thinks it's a pretty good idea. We just want to be together and have a good life.

Questions for you. Is it diffficult to find teaching job here? What does he need to be able to teach?

All the best.

In simple terms. If a USA Citizen cancels the K1 Visa in NOA1 or NOA2 phase because the relationship is not going well, will this hurt the Beneficiary’s chances for a future K1 visa? Does not seem fair?

Teaching jobs for Native english speakers are very easy to come by, the main thing that is needed is some type of 4 year college degree, there are some schools that dont even care about the degree, but these schools are not very reputable, and often called backpacker schools, then he will need some type of TESOL or CELTA course, this is a class that is 4 weeks long it usually cost about 1500 to 1700$ and it will allow him to teach english as a foreign or second language, most schools require this, but as I said there are backpacker schools that will hire people with no degree. Depending on if he gets a job at a english learning center or a international school the pay is good, with good benifits, it just depends on his degree. The international schools pay better but they usually do require teaching experiance and a 4 year degree, but they also work monday through friday, while the learning centers are 2 hour classes and they can vary 7 days a week and even night shift hours. But there are plenty of them out there, and there is also a big market for tutoring children and adults, and some of the bigger businesses want people to teach their workers english as well. Good luck Jerome and Binh

It depends on what is said, and how the CO takes it. IF the relationship just went sour then it should not hurt the beneficiary, unless the CO thinks that she/he would fall out of love soon with the current relationship, however if the USC states that he had a change of heart and found someone else then it should in no way affect the beneficiary, but with that said if the USC states that it was a sham this could cause a permanate black mark on the beneficiary, it truly just depends on how the CO takes the news of the prior relationship, if there was abuse or the USC had a child by another woman then it should not hurt, but once again it depends on the CO, everything depends on the CO.

Thank you very much, Jerome. Your info is always good and useful for us. So, if he doesn't have a 4 year college degree but wants to teach at English learning center he'll have to take TESOL or CELTA course? We want to have many options open so if one fails we still have the others. But first we will talk to some attorney over there and see what they say. Hopefully everything will work out with or without the visa.

Yes some schools will hire him (learning centers) to teach if he will get a Celta type of class, these are not the best schools to work for, but it should not cost you guys more than 400 a month to live here, so working for them would make your life "comfortable", and maybe very comfortable in VN standards. PM me and I can get you some more information, another great person to ask information from on teaching is Mr. Saigon, he is currently teaching over here if I am not mistaken, he has helped me greatly in the past with information pertaining on living here in Vietnam as he is the only one besides Ralph that I know that lives here and he has been her far longer than Ralph and myself.
