Sent in I-129F two weeks before 2 year mark, will it get denied?

[krinamej 1]

I just sent my fiance I-129F last week, and on April 3, 2013 we will hit our two year mark that we haven't seen each other. I can't visit him in the Philippines because of the fact that I am working a part time job, and if I leave, I will lose my job. I can't risk losing my job, because we have a kid together that I'm taking care of and providing to. I am the only one providing for our child because he doesn't have a job and is just graduating from college (& yes we're young, we're both only 19 y/o).

I know I should've asked this before I sent the petition in, but WILL THE PETITION GET DENIED because of the fact that we haven't seen each other? I didn't know what else to put on the I-129F Supplement, because I really can't leave my job and I'm barely making enough money for a month, I haven't even gotten passports yet, but I sent in my old ticket and receipt from when I flew back here, since I used to live in the Philippines. I also forgot to attach the form for Electronic Notification, but they have received my packet, so how long will it take til I get back the receipt or the NOA1?

Thanks, guys!

No, but I have a pending job with Dept of Homeland Security. They said that while the sequester is still going on, I'll be put in to the I think they said, "Ready pool" o "Job pool"? Something like that. And my mom's friend said that as long as I have a co-sponsor I'll be fine? I'm so confused right now.

Thank you!

Hello,

The requirement only stated that you guys have to know yourself for at least 2years before filling and since you both have a child together I you have know each other for a long time. The requirement also state you guys should have meet in person at least once before filling and you have done that too. You will be fine, nothing to worry yourself about. Your NOA1 should arrived in the mail one week from the date USCIS receive your application maybe two weeks the most. GOODLUCK!!!

the receipt notice date , IMO, is what makes the difference when computing calendar duration.

Oh, well, thank you! I am so nervous. Thank you so much!

Okay, I'm confused. Are you talking about the petition itself or the NOA1?

But the Manila Embassy accepts co-sponsors, right? 'cause my fiance is in the Philippines.

pay attention to the receipt notice date, as that will govern if yer inside the 2 year span. .

Sorry for jumping in, but this is actually wrong. It is not true that you must have known each other for at least two years. A lot of people on here file and get approved having known each other less than two years. The only requirement for the USCIS stage is that (no matter for how long you have known each other), you must have MET at least once within the last two years.

As for the OP, I think you will be fine since you have met within the two-year period. Good luck!

No, it's fine. I am actually trying to see how many people would reply with the same thing, cause that would determine what's correct. I have encountered one that have known each other for like a year and a half, and they had filed and got approved, so I get what you're saying. Well, thank you so much. I see that it took you guys almost a year to finally get to see each other and get married, I know that it will take time but I hope ours get thru faster. Lol. Thanks again!

if your fiancee is in manila, i don't think they accept co-sponsor for fiance visa

I read something that if you're young, in school or just graduated, they will let you file with the co-sponsor. I'm planning to go to school in the fall, so if I do, they would take it right? I mean, I'm not really worried about that for the mean time, I'm worried about getting approved or not. Thanks for the info though, so I can prepare myself.

[Grant PDX 183]

Manila does accept co-sponsors for K-1 visa, but it is on a case-by-case basis. Some get rejected, some get approved. I believe those being approved have had parents or close family member co-sponsor, but even then it is likely situation dependent. Make sure you have all your ducks in a row.

Good luck!

Your two year requirement will be from march 2011 - March 2013, depending on receipt date. Have been together during time frame
