They should do this on case to case base, instead of punishing people and get them more into trouble. People loose jobs, get under-payed etc...Meanwhile life still goes on, and bills get stacked up.

 

This is the truth but unfortunately it does not happen. When my x signed up for food stamps even though I was sending her child support(she wasn't working at the time), they came after me for "official child support" because supposedly the checks I was sending her was not proof enough that I was sending her money according to social services. The Davidson County NC DSS came after me HARDCORE and even notified LA County CA(where I lived at the time) DSS about the child support issue to try to get it on their end. This was before even talking to me at all they went and did this. Ultimately I won because I got custody of our 2 children in 2013 and I still have them today. But NC was trying to make me pay $1100 a month for 2 kids all the while trying to survive in high COL Los Angeles on one salary. Once NC DSS ended their investigation with me bc I got custody, LA County was taking me court 3 times to pay child support FOR KIDS I HAD CUSTODY OF EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THEM THE CUSTODY AGREEMENT. I told them if I am called up here again for another meeting I will take the kids out of school to bring them up here and show you the kids that you are trying to make me pay child support for even though I have custody of them.

 

After everything was said and done I asked the NC DSS lady why sent after me so hard in the beginning without even talking to me yet. She flat out told me "I apologize for doing that but we deal with deadbeat parents so much that this is what we do before we speak to them. I see now that you are not one of them and I sincerely apologize".

If he cannot support his children, how can he possibly support you?

 

Why would you become involved with someone so irresponsible?  I know, you want to come to the US  no matter what and will will work out the details after you get here.  You realize that if you have children together, his other children will still come before yours. Be prepared for a tough time financially and emotionally.  Before you go through with this, get on family law forums to see what you might have to deal with.

OMG, that's insane! I think what the problem is, is the system is so bureaucratic and that doesn't work ( well, it might work to get those who are not willing to pay, but it affects other fathers like you who are paying ) when you are dealing with family matters.

 

The amount my husband is paying is about the same amount you pay for one kid. The place he was working at couple years ago laid off 25% of its workers and my husband was one of the 'lucky" ones. It was during the top of the financial crisis, hard to find a job and of top his father died. It ended up him not working for 6 months and bills don't stop. He got a different job and started paying his child support again but he still owed couple K, and all the other bills he had to pay. He had his three year evaluation and they were threatening him to take away his drivers license  ( by that time they already blocked him from renewing his passport).They were treating him like a piece of &%$#, like he was not willing to pay for his child. He explained that he didn't had a job for 6 months due to being laid off and loosing his father. The lady told him: not my problem, if you loose your job find another one. And if you don't start paying the child support you owe, we will take away your drivers license. He asked how he is gonna get to work then. And again she said it wasn't her problem.

 

That kind of lack of human factor and common sense pisses me off.  I know he would die for his child, he had to take his ex to court and spend thousands of dollars just to be able to see his child twice a month, which almost made him go bankrupt.

 

And here is this big bureaucratic money machine who wants to take away his drivers license to get him into more financial trouble.

In the end it all worked out fine, his ex and me are actually friends now, which is i personally believe is much better for children then all the bs about money.

 

OP, sorry i think i got swept away bit much. But to answer your question; from my own experience, it doesn't affect you if its AOS ( I haven't done K-1 so i don't know about that one). However it prevents him from traveling as long as he still owes back child support. And if you guys want to visit your country in the future so he can meet your family etc. you want that resolved ASAP.

 

Good Luck!

I found an interesting discussion about this topic.

This is related to passport denial/ child support topic.

Reference: https://www.usa.gov/passport-problems#item-37102

 

Denial of a U.S. Passport Application

There are a number of reasons why the U.S. Department of State can deny your U.S. Passport application or renewal, including:

• Being subject to foreign extradition requests - handing over (a person accused or convicted of a crime) to the foreign state or country in which the crime was committed.
• Certain court orders and declarations
• If a previous passport was revoked 
• Defaulted on an assistance loan from the Department of State. You must repay this loan first, or arrange to do so.
• If you owe child support.
• Minors involved in custody disputes.

If you are behind on your child support payments, you must reach agreements with the appropriate child support agency in each state where you owe more than $2,500 in child support. Your passport application or renewal will be processed once you pay the debt or make an arrangement to do so. Then the denial request is withdrawn by the state.

 

Child Support Payments

 

If you owe $2,500 or more in child support, you are not eligible to receive a U.S. passport.

Pay your child support arrears to the appropriate state child support enforcement agency before applying for your passport.

 

1. Make arrangements to pay your child support arrears with the appropriate state child support enforcement agency.
2. The state agency reports to HHS that you've made acceptable payment arrangements.
3. HHS removes your name from their list and reports this to us. This may take 2-3 weeks.
4. We verify that HHS removed your name.
5. We process your application normally.

 

Please Note: Direct all questions about your child support arrears to the appropriate state child support enforcement agency. We have no information about your child support obligations, just if you have arrears greater than $2,500.

Easy!!....you do not know them personally, and to attack her as such is not called for....you only know the circumstance for which OP is asking.

 

frankly it sounds like your being a bully.

Umm, no.. not f**ed up at all. Your fiance should pay child support and take care of his responsibilities first before embarking on a lengthy and expensive process like an immigrant visa.

Trust me I know that from experience. It got so bad that my kids stopped asking my x-wife for things and stopped believing her when she said she would send them something.

But would be a reason for denial?

It's a good reason for him to be arrested and charged with either a felony or misdemeanor. Depending on the state, failure to pay child support can result in a felony. Where I live, if you fail to pay six months in one year or get more than $5,000 behind, it is a felony. Judges here often order arrest warrants for dead-beat dads/moms. With that said, I highly suggest you look into the background of your fiance. Someone that is failing to pay child support may be unable to support you. And in some jurisdictions, he may be considered a felon. Be careful.

Its been that way since at least 2007.  

 

I was running some Saudi Military Aircraft Maintenance programs then.  Had two guys try and renew their passports at the embassy and denied with removal to the US for unpaid support.  Another new hire couldn't get a passport for failure to pay back support.

 

One of the guys that tried to renew owed three women over $80k total.  Yikes!

He is not even a deadbet. His ex-wife lied to the child support whatever and told them he owed like around more than 5k bucks which is a big lie.

He is not irresponsible in case of supporting her own daughter(btw he only got kid) he still there tho. He keep paying everything (The arrears and the delequent amount) until it goes down. The reason why he got a deleq amount is it because he quitted his job and got jobless for 2 months for some reasons..

Lmao true.. But he/she got a point tho.

Whats gonna happen to me if he is , right? In the future? Well im sure everything what you said is going to happen or Oh! Probably more than that.

And coming in the US is not the reason why i am trying hard and ask some shyt in this forum. Is it because i damn miss him. Btw, I was in the states as a J1 holder last Feb-July if i am really just really want to be in states probably i never go back in my country tho😂(Which mostly of the j1 did it)

 

 But me and him going to do it in a right way. No matter what it takes 😬 and since i need to go back in my country to get my credentials of my bachelors degree that i just finished.

 

But i understand your point of view and thanks.

You know whats funny. You and my fiance is literally in the same boat tho. He got a custody to his child but his ex wont let him and she flew away with their kid away from Fl to New mexico.She never gave him a chance to be with his daughter,  Idk whats her issue. BUT she can get arrested of that too..
