Filed: K-1 Visa Country: Philippines
Timeline
Posted

I first filed a K-1 visa in 2001. The marriage lasted 7 years and ended in a divorce filed by me. I filed another K-1 in 2010 ( same country-Philippines) to bring my fiancee to the US after living together for a year in her country. I handled both visa applications myself with no attorney and no problems with either. The second marriage lasted 6 years and ended in divorce after I discovered my wife was cheating almost from the beginning of our marriage. After a year of grieving I may be filing another K-1 application ( the heart wants what the heart wants) but I know that I will need to request a waiver since this will be my 3rd. My inclination is to try to do this myself however I was told by an attorney that K-1's "are much more complicated these days" and I would need to hire them at $4,500 to handle the whole process for me. I believe I have a good case in that I have just been unlucky twice and that the previous K-1s were filed over a 15 year period. No fraud involved on my part. My question is what are the chances that I can be successful writing the waiver letter myself given the facts or whether we should marry in the Philippines and file a CR-1? Does the CR-1 carry the same visa waiver requirement? I have not seen it.

Since the waiver letter is a relatively new requirement there are not too many examples I can find out there so if someone can provide one or lead me to one it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

There is no need to hire an attorney. You can write the waiver letter yourself. This link has a couple of examples of how to construct the letter. You will need to customize the explanation for your specific situation. You only need to state the facts of the two previous divorces, no need to go into any detail.
