Fiance Visa general questions

[John Paul C 0]

So I have a few questions regarding the Fiance Visa and Process.

• My American fiance is here in the Philippines and is scheduled to go back home in August 2012, the Visa proceedure states that the application must be made to the nearest USCIS where the American citizen lives at, are there other options? Does she have to be there in person?
  
• It says that the American citizen should be able to provide the necessary papers to support the Foreign fiance, but last November 2011she was diagnosed with an illness that made her unable to go to work and eventually lost her job and soon after she decided to visit me here in the Philippines for 3 months. I have an uncle living in the US that will be able to provide and sponsor for us if it comes down to that. What are our options?

*all k1 petition are sent to dallas lockbox and they are the one who's going to forward the docs to our service center.

*I don't think it is good to get a co-sponsor that is connected to the beneficiary it should be connected to the petitioner,

we'll wait for others to reply to your question about your options, i know she still need to provide all her financial report and income as primary sponsor. if she have assets she can use that too. PLUS you don't have to worry about that for now, you will need co-sponsor and the other docs like 1040 w2 bank statements or financial reports on your interview not on the petition.

Are you petitioning spouse or fiance? if for fiance (K1 visa), it's better to find out if the embassy in the beneficiary's country accept co-sponsor. I know in some countries in the third world, they don't accept co-sponsor for fiance visa (K1 visa).

The I-129F packet is sent to the Dallas lockbox address, just like it says in the I-129F instructions. She can send it from 'Pinas if she wants to. She doesn't have to be in the U.S.

Here's the short answer to your question about joint sponsors: The U.S. Embassy Manila often does not accept joint sponsors for K-1 cases. If you don't want to risk being turned down for a visa because the Embassy won't accept the joint sponsor, one of your options is to get married in 'Pinas and file for a spousal visa. In spousal visa cases, the National Visa Center (NVC) accepts joint sponsors. However, I've seen a spousal case or two here on VJ where the Embassy would not accept the joint sponsor even though the NVC did accept the joint sponsor. But your chances are much better with a spousal visa.

The other option is for your fiancée to get a job that puts her over 125% of the poverty line for her household size.
