Multiple Filing Waiver

[MandyAlex 32]

How difficult is to get a waiver approval for petitioners who had previously sponsored a K visa beneficiary? What exactly is USCIS looking for?

Why you say I don't need a waiver?

How difficult is to get a waiver approval for petitioners who had previously sponsored a K visa beneficiary? What exactly is USCIS looking for?

It is correct, you need a multiple filing waiver if you have previously petitioned someone.

In your new petition simply include a written short paragraph that you are requesting a multiple filing waiver.

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:

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

b. You previously had a K-1 petition approved and less than 2 years have passed since the filing date of such previously

approved petition.

To request a waiver, submit a written request with this petition accompanied by documentation supporting your claim

to the waiver.

RE: General Waiver for multiple filers

To Whom It May Concern:

In compliance with the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA), I respectfully request a waiver on the filing limitations in connection with my current petition. A waiver is appropriate in my circumstance because I have no criminal history with regard to the “specified crimes” under IMBRA.

I have one prior approved Form I-129F for [NAME], receipt number [RECEIPT #]. This petition was approved on [DATE], and resulted in...

Evidence to support this waiver includes:

[YOUR EVIDENCE]

Thank you for your kind consideration of my request.

Sincerely,

Explain what happened with your previous petition, and include evidence to support it. You say the first visa was denied, then include as evidence the denial notice which states the reason you were denied.

Thanks so much for the information "Finally together". Do you know if they are hard to come by? I'm wondering if they are really strict to approve them or pretty much fairly easy as long as you file one you'll be OK.

[KayDeeCee 4,893]

Not hard to come by. You just need to include a statement requesting they allow you to file another petition. Ebunoluwa posted an example above.

Thanks for the response KayDeeCee. That gives me peace of mind, was a little worried.

Very easy unless the petitioner has certain criminal offenses. Otherwise it is just a formality. No worries at all.

Do I need to file a waiver if I only have one prior K1?

[TBoneTX 45,659]

Read the rules.  Your abilities to read accurately, interpret literally, and answer completely & honestly will serve you well -- and be necessary -- throughout this do-it-yourself immigration process.

I read that, and I've only filed 1 time before and it was 9 years ago. So when I filed my K-1 This time, I didn't add a waiver.

It was only my second time to file for a 129f. so according to the rules, I don't need a waiver.

That is correct isn't it?
