We were denied.  I have to start over from scratch on the K-1.  I have the expungement letter from the court and police department and both say that all copies have been shredded or erased.

Dear John

I don't know what to say other than I am so very very sorry for this denial.  You have been such pillar of strength for me through this whole process and to see this denial breaks my heart. Then to see you just dust yourself off and apply again is a testament to your love for Rose and the kids and I know we all are pretty blown away by your dedication to your family.  I'm sending you all the love in the world as you go back into this and will be following the May thread to check in on how you are doing.  Hugs to you all xoxo

Okay peeps, I went from not being able to check my status to this yesterday:

 

"Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center." 

 

Does that mean it's has left NVC? And isn't the embassy supposed to provide my interview date?

 

I'm so confused, as always haha

Hi Berries!

 

Just want to share my Visa Journey

 

Sept 18- I-129F sent

Sept 21- NOA1

March 23- NOA2

April 5- NVC received

April 6- NVC case number

April 16-17 Medical

April 23- Interview (Approved!)

April 25- Administrative Processing

April 26- Visa Issued

April 28- Visa on Hand

May 30 - Trip to the US (Since I still need to render 30 days for my job)

 

I have a question, I only booked a flight to LAX since my Fiance’s work is in different states so I have to see first what state would he be in at that time. Is it okay that I booked it separately? Or is it a problem in the immigration with the K1 visa?

 

Thanks for the response. Good luck Berries! You’re next

I honestly feel like I'm spamming this thread with my questions 

But... do you guys think, I can submit the DS-160 without picture and bring the confirmation page to the embassy with an actual printed picture attached?

I calculated, about 8 pictures in total for this part of the process, right? (2 medical, 4 embassy, +1 DS-160)

I mean the DS-160 does give you the option to proceed without picture, but I've read somewhere that you won't be able to print the confirmation page then..

I had trouble uploading too and I tried proceeding without picture, but that didn't work for me. Finally I uploaded a picture I had taken with my Iphone camera with a white background in a very light room. I cut it so it'd be 600x600 and it finally worked. I just printed the DS-160 confirmation though, and it is not the most sharp picture I have seen... So I think I'll print a more sharp version of the same picture just so they can see it's really me on the confirmation. Fingers crossed it won't cause any problems  

So it finally worked, the website accepted the picture, but on the confirmation page, it's sitting sideways, I tried uploading it sideways so it would sit up right , but nothing, and yes blurry all the way, but I'll bring some decent passport pics to the interview, I just wanted to get this out of the way, and I'm glad I did, cause the stress of running out of time and refreshing 

[John & Rose 7,239]

Now I have a question for those more familiar with the Filipino culture.  I keep looking towards another K-1 but I wonder if Rose and the kids would feel more confident with a CR-1.  I will marry her in a heartbeat no doubt.  I wonder if culturally that would be the better route.  Will she feel better if we are married and take a little longer to be together or is being together quicker the better solution.  Culturally they are quite different and all I want is to make her feel better and more confident.  She won't answer me when I ask her but she knows I was leaning towards K-1.  She just does the "I will do whatever you feel is best"...

 

I know that she will be nervous until the next K-1 interview because we were blindsided with the refusal.  I just want to give her and the kids the life they deserve and I want to do what is best in their eyes.  I want them to know that I am with them forever.  I can do either but if they will feel better if we are married right away than I will be on the next plane.

 

Any thoughts?

He said they were all very pleasant. His GP has not noticed that he needed an updated. TDaP vaccine so did that there and then for him. He then got pretty ill the next day though with a fever and aches 😢 Now is the next week  and a day could just  hurry up so we can get the interview over and done with !!
