K1/K2

[Kasoma 3]

I am a ugandan I married a US citizen in 2006 and we filed a spouse petition, we provided everything and on reaching the embassy for interview in Nairobi they had to find out the legitimacy of our papers. To our surprise our government found out that the church which married us was operating illegally in Uganda and they didn't have it in the Uganda's registry I was therefore denied a visa on that ground.

I went to the Uganda's registry to find out myself if I am regarded married or if am free to married some day and I was truthfully told that your single never married in our records and i was given a document certifying that. I told my fiancee about my findings and she told me that she cant afford coming back or starting afresh and she had moved on with another Boyfriend that I should move on too.

There came a nice cute, caring lady whom I proposed to and welcome my "WORD" in December 2009. she decided to visit me and we had a nice holiday in Nairobi and we enjoyed life and when she went back to States she filed a K1 petition for me and my 2 children one is 8 years and the last 5 years and she also has 2 children 6 and 10 respectively. We decided to have them together and bring them up in church and she is really a real mother.

Our petition was approved and sent to the consulate for processing and we have our wedding plans already and we chose 1st December as our wedding day before God.

My worry is whether I can get my visa approved since some one has ever filed a petition/relationship for which it didn't work out.

Does it help having my fiancee accompanying us (with my children) to the interview but if possible I wouldn't want to disturb her because her knee was just replaced recently in May.

I will be grateful for your advise and i will take it seriously.

This would be the first K1 visa filed on your behalf (as I'm assuming the other was the 130).

There shouldn't be any issues that I'm aware of. As long as you guys follow the paperwork exactly.

You did mention that she came out in 2009. She has to have physically been with you within the past 2 years leading up to filing the I129F.

Without that requirement being fulfilled then the visa will be denied.

There is a hardship waiver that can be filed, however, but I do not think a knee replacement is a sufficient reason. Someone with more experience on that will be along shortly I am sure.

I would not plan on being here in the USA before Dec 1 for that wedding. Even if the petition went to the California Service Center (which is the faster of the two at the moment) it will still take around 4 months and then you'll have to schedule your interview at your consulate etc.

It will be next year before you are able to get out here at the earliest.

make sure your ex did withdraw your old petition from the embassy and uscis, for that you will be safe with no issues

She told me that had withdrawn and she cant afford coming back here and she got a letter from uscis about the possible revocation and given some time to appeal which she didnt do.

Thank you so much for that advice, but the petition was approved and its at the embassy level for processing just going there to pay for medical and do the interview thats why we had scheduled the wedding for 1st December 2012 at Life Recovery Church in Klamath.

No one has ever filed a K1 on my behalf.

thanks once again
