Yikes I hope it works for you, seems to have a few red flags that might cause problems. With a child that would make it tougher if you got denied. If I were you I'd contact a congress person and try to get a letter to help with an expedite. If you have proof you are about to get hired with homeland security I think that would only help. I would have done an expedite if I was in your shoes.

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!

:time:

It would be helpful info for those trying to help you out (or fill it in as soon as you get your recipt aka NOA1). Also do not forget to update y,our service center to csc or VSC as this info can also be very helpful in the future with trying to determine your timeline. Best of luck with your journey.

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!!!

It does not matter how long you have known each other, if you have kids or do not, etc. The requirements for the I-129F petition are that both are free to marry and that you have been together face-to-face in person at least once within the two years prior to filing the petition.

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!

the above quote is correct, you had to have been face to face with each other within 2 yrs, and you 2 have a baby together so that will prove as well.

be patient. everything will be ok. Good luck!

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!

My uncle had asked my mom to co-sponsor them. My mom was the primary sponsor, and my aunt was the secondary sponsor. So if I use my mom, it wouldn't be a problem? I still don't even have my NOA1 yet, but I am really hoping and praying for the best. Thank you so much for your help! :D

Apparently, I can't give them anything about my pending interview and everything with DHS, but can't they just look it up? What red flags do you see that may cause problems?

I am actually trying to see how many people would reply with the same thing, cause that would determine what's correct.
If I understand this correctly, you're relying on a predominating number of similar answers to determine what the correct information is. This can be dangerous, because if more clueless fuzzbrains respond with completely wrong information than do knowledgeable posters with the right information, that doesn't make the fuzzbrains' information fit to rely upon. The correct information is to be relied upon. Sheer volume, by itself, means nothing.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
