Devistated

[lampshade9999 0]

I am so embarassed to ask this question that I have used a different user name..I know I probably should not, but here is my question. I have reason to believe that my fiance is going to change her mind regarding marriage. She has her K-1 visa, and I think believes that she can now enter the US and do what she pleases and just disappear. Is she correct? Or can I contact someone to have her visa that is already printed in her passport revoked or flagged or something so that if she tries to enter the US, she is stopped? Is this even possible?????Very devistated and saddended by all of this...

[David-and-Mae 15]

I'm sorry to hear that but what made you think and believe that she's changing her mind now that she got the visa? She can enter US using K-1 Visa but she will need to leave the country after 90 days if you won't marry her and she cannot marry someone else because you're the one who petitioned her. I'm not really good with this stuff but a lot of people here will help you and advice you on what to do.

If this is true, then the EASIEST way to deal with her entering is to not travel to her, and travel to the US with her. If you are not present it will be much harder for her to get through immigration on a K1. It can be done, but they are very skeptical, and a Visa does not give anyone the RIGHT to enter. The ultimate decision is made at the airport with Immigration.

Contact the immigration fraud line at 866-347-2423 and explain to them the details. They should flag her visa and respond with more questioning if she does try to enter. EVEN IF she gets in, as stated earlier, she will lose her status if she doesnt marry you in 90 days, so the most she will get out of you is entry to the US for a short time. After those 90 days are over, she would have to have a lot of money and a good attorney to adjust her visa class.

Good luck.

She might be able to get in and she could very well disappear. But when she reappears to adjust her status under a different category there will be questions and most likely a denial.

You would be advised to send written correspondence to USCIS/DOS. Whether or not her possible entry would result in a turnback is hard to say. But written correspondence will absolve you of anything improper she does with the visa.

Beneficiaries enter the US all the time without escort by their petitioner.

Please clarify your comment about it being much harder for her to get through immigration on a K1......what do you mean it can be done ?????? That is why the K1 is granted to enter the US.

The SO is NOT required to accompany the fiance.

The statement the "ultimate decision" is made at the airport is a little misleading.

Unless there are definite reasons the fiance will not be denied entry.

You make the K1 sound like a tourist visa or something and that people get constantly turned away at the POE without the SO escort. I really don't understand what you are talking about.

me too, my fiance might not be around in my interview, it would be our worries to be denied in entering US if he's not around... but a lot has entered US even without the fiance...right?

mmmm, he/she's confused either, he/she didnt read his/her post again

[Mr and Mrs Bird 0]

Before I am getting too worry I will ask.

What should the reason be for a K1-visa holder to be denied entry at the POE?

I mean when I leave my country this day I won't have anything to go back to if denied.

Sorry for being a little bit out of OP topic.

Everyone stop panicking about the damn POE. That was wrong info about the beneficiary having trouble at teh POE without the petitioner. People do it all the time. Probably more than half the time.

What Alex + R said!

The original poster already got the proper advice, from Rebeccajo, write immediately to USCIS regarding your concerns that you have been duped and your fiance used you to get a K-1 visa to gain entry into the USA.

Very sorry to hear that could be the case though. Curious as to details about what she has done which leads you to believe this is the situation.

[maggieNomar 0]

Sorry to hear you have to go through this. Make sure you both call and write, is the information I have read on another forum here. Keep a copy of the letter you write, in case you need it later. Sometimes they can flag the visa so she doesn't even enter, but like stated already, if she does, she has a new host of problems coming her way. The most important thing once you take care of business, is to take care of you. Hope you have some good support.

[Ladylethal 12]

Folks, don't worry about POE on a K1, if you have your passport, your I-94. your envelope, you'll be just fine, no need to panic and furthermore, most of the time K1s will fly alone. They don't care that your fiance didn't fly all the way to your country just to escort you.

To the OP, you can contact USCIS but even if you don't, she must marry you within 90 days or she'll have to leave the country, she can't get there and elope (unless she's planning on staying there illegaly) before marriage and she can't marry someone else. If you trully think she'll elope and stay there illegaly then I think you should contact USCIS. They can probably flag her and prevent her from coming in.

Jesus people...did anyone eve read EVERTHING I have said???? This is what I get for trying to be helpful!

I never told anyone that they would not get in travelling alone, however this is much like people who think they are in the clear just because their case gets approved, completed and sent to the Embassy. You are not in the clear then, yet, right? Same thing applies to POE...I dont care what the others said (only one of the three who said I was "wrong" has actually received a K1 and already lives here, the other two have not, and I have been all the way through the process also), the POE is still the final point of evaluation of the immigrant and the attempted Visa status. My ex-wife was raked across the coals in Miami and I was WITH her! I know of two particular cases where the fiance was refused denial. Should I go further?

I followed the first paragraph up with a second on the RECOMMENDED way to report this fiance - who he is painting to be a fraud. What is INCORRECT is to be writing anyone. The Governement has this Fraud Unit for a reason, and all information or reports should go to the unit. Think about it...did anyone who "knows" what to do here even tell him WHERE in the USCIC/DOS to send this "correspondence"????

Everyone who is reading this and not dealing with any bad issues regarding their K! - QUIT GETTING YOUR PANTIES IN A BUNCH! COMBINE my two paragraphs because they are RELATIVE to eachother and quit reading into everything! Hell, let me make it simple:

1. If you have a fraud issue with her, contact the fraud line and report before she travels.

2. Do not travel with her or help her come here.

3. Let her be evaluated by the POE unit because the fraud alert will be attached.

4. If she DOES get in, do not have contact with her and let her try to have her status changed at 90 days.

Are you guys happy now?

They can probably flag her and prevent her from coming in.

Uhh...isnt that where I was going with this anyway?

Brad is correct. The POE should not be treated lightly. The border officials have the power to deny entry if they feel that something is not right. It is called expedited removal. No right to lawyer or hearing but turn around and c'ya! Come back and try again in 5 years. That is why it is important not to open the sealed visa apporoval package. Not to get everyone worked up but it is important to have everything in order for the POE. Present the same "A game" at the POE that was shown at the interview.I think with immigrations issues on everyone's mind, post 9/11 America is paronoid. I feel like i'm being treated like a criminal everytime I leave and arrive from Colombia. I understand the reason why but it can be difficult anyway.

i totally agree!! some people seem to think once they have their visas, they're "all done". uhm...hello!! not really. i personally know someone who got denied entry. the person was sent to another room, questioned for a few more minutes, then denied entry. the person had to be put in a plane going back to the philippines the same day. the person didn't even get to see the light of day outside the airport. so please treat your POE as you would the interview.

just my two cents.....don't start bashing me! haha.

Bradyvicky is pointing to something we should all keep in mind: no one is entitled to a visa simply because they're engaged to, or married to, a USC. And the visa process can be halted at the interview stage or the POE stage. It's up to the particular officer you encounter. Never take anything for granted.
