Yeah I was actually worried about the fact that they also said they called Homeland and told them he’s a possible K1 scammer 😡 I’m so mad at them. They knew nothing but decided to screw with my life.

He’s from a high fraud country. The visa would have been scrutinized in detail anyway (they always are) with or without them getting involved. The publicity is not going to affect the outcome of your case one way or the other, the facts of it will.

 

as others have pointed out, selling plasma indicates finances are an issue, and you’ll have to show income at 125% of the poverty guideline for 6 people or get a co-sponsor.

The news story states that some plasma was sold to finance your trip. If this is true and not made up information, please read in details the financial requirements of the visa, who should be counted in the household, how to document income of you're an employee or self-employed, etc.



This is super true.

For a family of six (OP, Her fiance, and her four children) she would have to make 42000$ (based off the AGI of your tax return) to be able to sponsor him. 


Oh and USCIS can totally find the details of these news articles if they want to and use it as judgement on the relationship.  This is no different than them digging into facebooks or any social media form.

Again, USCIS doesn't care if he's a good muslim or if you're truly deeply head over heels in love. They care if he's a possible fraud case, they care if you make enough money to support him and your dependents, they care about how hard you tried to make it even look like a relationship.


No one here can help you until you understand that we are reacting similar, if not, friendlier than what will happen to your fiance at his interview. 


TBQH, it looks like he's using you and you're so in love that you can't see it. And this is just based off what you have told us.

No joint as in actually joint. Every other weekend and couple days during the week. Your situation was different though because he could actually come visit you. We started talking in July.  Once he arrive he has a good job waiting for him. It’s just the matter of him getting here. Some people like to wait years to marry and still relationships fail.

cant work on a k1. your original plan was already flawed

Man there's multiple news stories out there. I didn't see that part, but I think this may hurt "The couple met on an international dating website in July and within weeks proposed marriage."

I am now seeing multiple articles saying that he proposed to her within 6 weeks of talking to her and let her pick out her own ring. And in one article, it says  that the OP admitted it felt fast and her fiance convinced her other wise.

And seeing in these articles that her kids are crying over her with worry in front of their dad, of course the Ex is never going to support any of this or let the kids visit your fiance, as another article says you wanted to take your youngest to meet him. Your scaring your children.

And now I see that he had to make a new account because his ex "got into his phone and deleted everything in june".

It's almost like they met simply to complete the engagement process... which should never be someones intentions on meeting someone in the flesh for the first time.

Also note that in NONE of the articles have I see anything about people claiming USCIS was contacted about your fiance being fraud and how hard that made it, it looks like the OP is the one contacting the news, making facebook live and photos and generally seeking attention on her case.

"She also said she will check in with Newschannel 3 so we can follow her journey."

Welcome on board.

 

PS Looking at the local coverage most of what has been mentioned here would be known to the OP.

Whatever other people think the OP obviously think differently, all that we can do is explain what she needs to do to go through the process which would also allow her time and opportunity to resolve any issues others have mentioned on here and elsewhere.

 

Perhaps fortuitously this will be a long haul situation,

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Agreed but I think that the OP portrays the case a little lighter and the news, for me, seemed to shed a little more light on their relationship.
