Will my recent deportation from China prevent me from bringing my Chinese fiance to the US?

[Eric-Pris 1,606]

Well, my other worry is that we might be denied due to me not making enough money to support her and her child? She has a child, that she had with her ex. I'm was easily making enough money teaching English in China, but that wasn't legally. I got a temporary job that just pays $10.50 an hour, while I go to school to be a life insurance salesman. Do they really look closely at how much money am I making during the process? She also owns an apartment in Beijing that is worth a ton of money...they only care about how much money I have? She has a lot more money than I will can even dream of. She is wealthy, but for the record...that isn't why I'm with her.

Yes--they do check your income, it must be 25% above the poverty line for the number of people in the household. In your case, for a household of 3, you have to make at least $24,412 per year. That's a little over $2000/month.

How do you plan to put a roof over their head and feed them?

You should be fine. Sounds like a hell of a story. Does your fiance know about it though? That might be brought up in an interview or something...

From what I get, the petitioner was deported from China. I don't see how that has any bearing on the beneficiary. I was deported from Canada and told if I ever came back they would throw me in prison. Never came up in any step of this process.

How did your fiancé feel about this female student making an accusation of harassment against you?

My bigger concern would be my wife if I was flirting with another woman.

I can see this exploding if during the interview the CO asks your fiancee about you flirting with students and your fiancee is unaware/doesn't react well to it.

You appear to be eligible to be a petitioner. You do need enough money or a co-sponsor. Immigration is expensive, the K-1 process is over $1600.

I worked in China for 3 years. 90% of people are working there illegally or have photoshop teaching degrees, people shouldn't judge you for that. Also when I read about the alleged harassment I had an 'ugh' feeling because yes knowing Chinese authorities and the fact that they went through with the brief detention and deportation, it sounds like your file will indeed say that you were deported on sexual harassment. If I were you I'd try to find how I can access that. But even then I don't know how that would help. Perhaps a lawyer can help gather character references and sworn affidavits for character reference from people in your life who observed you as a couple and people who know you.

Wish you all the best good luck.

I was deported from China about a month ago, but my fiance wants to come live with me in the US. I want to fill out an I-129F petition and I found a section in the petition that reads the following:

Moreover, I understand that this petition, including any criminal conviction information that I am required to provide with this petition, as well as any related criminal background information pertaining to me that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services may discover independently in adjudicating this petition will be disclosed to the beneficiary of this petition.

My fiance has no crinimal record. I was assuming that the focus would mainly be on her because she is the one coming to the US not me. Now I am really worried that my being deported might be a reason to deny my petition or a reason for denial for the K-1 visa on her end, at the visa office in Guangzhou, China?

I would greatly appreciate anyone's help with this.

Best Regards,

Robert

The quote from USCIS that you provided only states that whatever they may find out about you will be shared with your fiance, not that your petition may/will be denied. Is that your real concern, that they will tell her the real reason of your deportation? I think you have more to worry about than a denied petition.

I'm still not getting why any of this is relevant to the beneficiary? The beneficiary was never deported or had any issues with teaching without a permit. I must be missing something.

As some others pointed out, IF anything is relevant and could be harmful to him bring his lady, sexual crimes are. So it kind of is a reason for him to be a little stressed.

Is the ex ok with the child emigrating?

She actually gained full custody of the child, because the man has a new wife and wants a child with her...and China only has a one child policy. To be allowed to have another child, he had to give full custody to his first child. Nice country huh? Anyway, the situation helps me out though.

She was upset at first of course, but I was able to explain the situation and she calmed down. Everything is fine between us.

The only time sexual crimes are relevant for the petitioner are in 1 of 2 cases:

1. Adam Walsh Act: This is for convictions of crimes against children committed by the petitioner. There was no conviction of a crime per the OP. Not only that, I'm 99% sure that is related to convictions in the U.S.

2. IMBRA: If there is a conviction in the U.S. (from what I can tell there isn't) it is merely to inform the beneficiary about it. Basically, "do you know what you're getting yourself into?"

I chose to have diplomats from the US Embassy come visit me and clear things up. The Chinese authorities made a bunch of up. They claimed I was a child molester. First of all, I didn't molest her at all...and she wasn't a child...she was 22 years old. They US Embassy was actually shocked and pissed off that the Chinese police had falsified this stuff, but they cleared it up with the chief of the immigration police. It was unbelievable, but I got out of there in one piece. Yes, you know what you are talking about. Most of the people there are using fake degrees and certificates.
