Previous K-1 causing problems?

[hamsoplo 0]

His plan was to live in China but she wants to come to the US. He wants to live in China but she is pressuring him, he's afraid she'll leave him if she can't get her here. She's been helping her sister on match.com find an American so she can come to the US too so he thinks she would be able to do it also.

He already has his affidavit of support, nobody wanted to do it for him since he has a very bad track record with women fleecing him. This has ruined a couple of family relationships from the people he's asked and declined. My uncle eventually broke down and did it for him though.

He has no property or home in the States, he stays with me when he's back and uses my address for his mailing address. Is that a domicile problem?

He already contacted his senator or representative but it didn't help.

The only thing he sent me was a copy of a I-72 notice asking for a letter of hardship and proof. Transparency is not his forte. If I get more information or documents I'll let you know. Thank you everybody for your help and input.

Well, she's inadmissible for some reason and honestly this quoted bit really makes it look like he's a fool and she's a Greencard Shopper. How will he support his and her while living with you in the US? Are you both ready for when she decides to not return to China?

He has no plans as to how to support her except for me. He is collecting social security and expects her to get a job once she arrives. Honestly he is a fool, his last few relationships cost him dearly. The things he has done are so stupid, crazy, and illegal you'd think I was making them up so I won't get into it. He knows this and says he just wants to help her out so she can come to the US to make a better life for herself and her family (sister and parents). I think he's just trying to get her to stay with him as long as he can but knows she'll leave eventually. He expects that I'll help support her but I'll have to draw the line and not do it. He'll then probably disown me like my brother at that point, he hasn't spoken to my brother in over a year.

Helping him with this very difficult since I know it will only bring grief and hardship to me in the future, but he's still my father.

He sounds a lot like my father...

I've been reading this forum for a while helping my father bring his wife to the United States from China but now I'm stumped.

He had filed a K-1 visa two years ago but it was denied, he says it was because of the age difference (he's 66 and she's 29 now). After he got denied they got married and applied for a K-3 visa.

The K-3 visa was just recently denied and he was offered to fill out a I-601 hardship waiver. He tells me it is because they had already filled for a K-1 visa that is causing the problem.

He only applied for the k-1 once so I didn't think it would be a problem. Has anyone heard of this?

Reading about the I-601 tells me she is inadmissible for some reason, K-1? He says it's all because of the K-1 but i'm not sure if he told me everything or knows. Now he has to prove extreme hardship if she is unable to come to the US. Problem is he's retired and has moved all his money to china and lives there 8 months out of the year.

Well, it's approved. Very fast approval now, less than one month. He had me wire him 10k just before handing in the letter, i suspect he bribed someone that lead to such a fast outcome. I really thought it would take 6 months to hear back. Amazing.

I only hope he was not scammed out of his US$10K!

Best wishes to your dad and you
