2nd K1 Visa i129F Question

Filed: K-1 Visa Country: Ukraine
Timeline

I am just wondering if anyone has any experience filing a 2nd I129f for a different fiancee? My first Fiancee and me unfortunately separated shortly after she entered the US back in 2013 and she returned home to Ukraine.

I have one question regarding number 14 on the I129f

14e Date of Filing - Date received by USCIS or Date I physically mailed it ?

14h Result - For this I plan on attaching a separate piece of paper explaining we separated and the date she returned home. Luckily I am still able to contact her and have asked her for a copy of her return ticket home, passport stamp showing US departure, and entry stamp back into her her home country (Ukraine). I am just wondering if this is even required/sufficient enough or if they should already have record of her departure.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

14e will be the received date on the NOA2. Note that this is not the approval date.

14h simply write APPROVED. They are only asking about the status of the previous petition, it is not asking about what happened afterwards. No need to attach a separate sheet of paper.

When was your last I-129F petition approved? If it was less than 2 years ago, you will need to write a letter requesting a waiver of the filing limitations.

The filing limitation for a 2nd petition is from the approval date of the 1st I-129f petition, NOT from when you had the visa interview. So if your last petition was approved before July 28, 2013, you won't need a waiver.

It clearly states on the I-129f instructions this:

2. What filing limitations does IMBRA place on K-1 nonimmigrant petitioners?

You must apply for a filing limitations waiver if any of the following apply to you:

1. You have previously filed K-1 petitions for two or more beneficiaries; or

2. You previously had a K-1 petition approved, and less than two years have passed since the filing date of that petition.
is two years after the filing date meaning the NO1 according to this.
I hope his help
