Can a K1 Visa Be Approved if the Applicant Once Lived Under a False Identity?

[Wannabemarried 0]

My case is very complicated so I'm going to simplify the best way possible.

I am the Petitioner and I'm a natural born US citizen. My fiancé is a Nigerian citizen and we met on an online dating site in January 2014. At the time, my fiancé lived in London, however, he was under a false identity as he was illegally living in London. I traveled to London in July of 2014 and it was there we were engaged.

After that we began the process of the K-1. I always felt he should have returned to Nigeria BUT he felt he would be able to get clearance from London. He finally has the interview in London in Feb 2016. He came clean about being under a false identity, however, they didn't deny him. Instead they put us under Administrative Review, which is just basically a black hole.

Meanwhile, there was a mistake made when we first filed our k1 visa. They actually lost our payment fee. I called and tried to fight them about it and they acted as if I was crazy. They "terminated" that case for nonpayment and we were forced to start all over again, and in that process we were given a whole new case number which was the case number for the London interview.

Imagine my surprise as I'm sitting at home and received a text at 9pm at night from USCIS saying our case had been approved. I was confused because he had his interview already and it was under administrative review. Come to find out, the FIRST case we applied for where the money was lost and they closed the case had magically opened again and the payment was found! This case is under a completely different number. So, we had THIS case transferred to Nigeria and my fiancé left London to return to his birth place of Nigeria to have his interview, which took place on 8/1/16. The interview in Nigeria went well, except they are asking for the police check under all identities he potentially used in London. He also has to submit all of our printed correspondences from the last two years which is no problem because I've kept them ALL. (That was his fault that he didn't print them prior! I was mad that he failed to do that!!) They told him he needs to also send his passport with the requested documents.

My question is I am nervous about the police request under the identity he used London. I want to know if this affects our chances for approval? We are completely and legitimately in love. He has already been admitted to a doctoral program here in the states that will begin in the fall (I encouraged him to apply during our courtship, it wasn't anything he was trying to do before we met). He hit a rough spot after his graduate program and came to London to avoid going back to Nigeria, hence the false identification. They are requesting he sends his passport with the other requested documents, so does that mean he will be approved? So again, will his admission to this affect our chance of approval?

Register with rapidvisa.Com and address ur concern to them. ...They will help u out with ease

It can be approved, but having lied to another government, and having a false identity is definitely a red flag, and they will look closer at all his documents to make sure they are real. That being said,m the fact that they asked for his passport is a good sign.

false id def a red flag

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

If asked he needs to be truthful because he already admitted the false identity the last time and that is definitely in the computers.

He needs a police report from London and was in London under the false identity, so yes, he should bring that police report

or the case would not proceed in my opinion.

He will most likely be placed in AP again with the London police report so they can again take a deeper look.

Best wishes for an approval.

He has already provided a police report to them from the UK under his name and now they are requesting he sends them another police report under "all identities used in the UK." He used another identity to enter in the UK, but worked undocumented the rest of the time. On the police check application, it asks to give any alias he may have been under. Would he need to put the name he used to get into the UK with as an alias? quote name="Ebunoluwa" post="8250360" timestamp="1470236441"]

Yes, he has to put the name down he used (false ID). I am not sure if that falls under alias or if they need 2 separate reports with the 2 different names, without seeing the police report application myself. Perhaps ask the police department issuing the report.

[soulstriker 274]

you know the answers it seems you just want someone to say dont be truthful

[quesma 10]

Get an attorney. Complicated case. Yes.

[Anitafeliz 1,133]

Like said red flag but it can be approved. I hope it works out for you. Everyone is entitled to a mistake.

[LionessDeon 2,060]

Get an attorney. Complicated case. Yes.

What's an attorney going to do? They just need to submit what was asked for and wait for a decision.

How was it a mistake?

[belinda63 3,038]

So he has two K-1 cases open and in AP at the same time?

He needs to put name he entered UK with. He has to put whatever case he admitted to at the interview in London. I'm from Ghana and has sisters living in UK so I know. Most people commenting are foreigners from other countries and are going to go blah blah blah. Put the names he admitted to and entered with. Simple. Rest is left for the consulars and USCIS to decide. Good luck
