hi i am new to this forum and am also a june filer. my fiance is coming in to visit for a couple months this weekend and i had a question maybe someone can answer. we are both pretty nervous about him getting past immigration since i have already filed the visa. the reason why he is coming is we just had a baby in august and he has yet to meet her!! does anyone know if mentioning this to the officer can hurt or help getting past? should he just keep his mouth shut about it?

It is very important to be sure to NOT tell them he is waiting on a fiance visa. The reason to turn someone away is if they feel there is reason that they are at risk of staying illegally. A child is definitely a reason and they will find him a risk. Whatever he does he should NOT tell them about seeing his kid, you or anything. If asked he should say he is there for a vacation to visit friends.

Only offer the minimum information. If they don't ask then don't make a point of mentioning it. But whatever you do, do not lie. I recommend that he says that he is coming to see you. Not friends.

Sorry Steph, but I don't think telling someone to lie is very good advice at all.

I didn't say to lie, I said not to mention that he is hear to see friends (meaning his fiance & family), but not to mention anything about a child. I agree that you should not lie. I wouldn't tell someone to do that!

Please don´t lie to them. It could make it worse. Answer what they ask and be honest. Take some proof with you that you have the intention to go back to your country. Good luck :thumbs:

Please don´t lie to them. It could make it worse. Answer what they ask and be honest. Take some proof with you that you have the intention to go back to your country. Good luck :thumbs:

Also, they know that u r on a k1 visa. It's in the computer system and this is known by the immigration officer.

Actually, i'm not sure that they do know that unless you have told them on a previous visit

THey do know it. My fiance came through JFK this summer and the immigration lady knew about his k1 before he even mentioned it. I believe when they cash in ur money, the names get put on the computer.

You are right, they do know, that is why you shouldn't lie. You should be casual and say you are visiting friends and family and leave it at that. If you give them reason to believe that you won't be getting on a plane back they could turn you away. My fiance got stopped-believe me.

thank you all so much for your input...

i'm not sure either if they will know we've applied for the visa since they don't have his passport number and there very well could be other people with his name.

but i agree however it is better not to lie..his best bet will probably only offer information of what is asked of him. and they have no reason to ask if he has a child here.

Sorry it my words got twisted by others, but I would never advise anyone to lie during this process. Have him be honest, but not VOLUNTEER any additional info that would make him look risky. Good luck!

Hey!

I wanted to share my news with you all....that we received our NOA 2 in the post last saturday :) !!! So far I was only a quiet reader of this thread because I think my english isn't so well yet :P .

We were already approved like it seems on october 2nd. That is the date which stands on the NOA 2 letter. The only thing is that i didn't received an e-mail before and when i look at our online status it still says case received and pending :huh: . But we had it in the mail!!!! And our NOA 1 date was june 25th.

I have no idea why it went so fast for us. We are a normal couple like so many other here. I feel a little bad for that when i see that so many people who had filed before us are still waiting!

But I am also very very happy and maybe this will be a sign that it goes on also for all the june filers ;) !

I wish you all the best and a lot more approvals for this week !!!!

Oh My Gosh!!! Congratulations!! Wonderful news!!!

How do we expidite a petition and what is the timeframe for an expedite petition. To me, it is worth some extra money to expedite; heck, a trip to see my fiancee cost over $4,000 so it is worth something to help her get here faster.

K1s don't have expedited processing. Sorry, or we'd probably all pay it. Maybe they'll change that for us soon. They could make extra money. why not?

What a hopeless helpless feeling this is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To top off their rate hike... It has cost me a ton to go see Leidy 4 times this year and isn't getting cheaper with me meeting her next week in Panama, not that i'm complaining because i want to see her bad, its just that all this is caused because Vermont has come to such a standstill!!! Tomorrow will be day 142!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep thinking that the money I spend to fly to Ghana for a couple of weeks (plus time off work and my boss is starting to give quite a fuss about it) could just go straight to USCIS for premium processing. Jeesh! I wish I wish I wish for an approval right away! All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me!

I bet there will be a whole flood of NOA2s. Consider this...maybe VSC is not updating the website or sending out the NOA2 notices. Maybe they have already been processed but they are lagging behind in getting the word out. Stay optomistic...I bet it's coming soon for all you VSC filers! :thumbs: Who knows what's going on.

It took us 142 days from the say we mailed it to be approved. We were approved Monday 10/08 from CSC.

I was away from last Thursday afternoon until late last night, and I have to say it was really demoralizing to come back here and see only one approval out of VSC, and it was for a June filer! Not that I'm not pleased for that person, but what about Byron, Mirla and Soch?????????? I know VSC is working on something, but they need to get a lot more I-129f petitions approved!!!!!

Sorry it my words got twisted by others, but I would never advise anyone to lie during this process. Have him be honest, but not VOLUNTEER any additional info that would make him look risky. Good luck!

Steph, no one is twisting your words. It just appeared that you had said that the best option was to lie. Which is never the best option. Saying that you are there to see friends and family isn't exactly the truth. The truth would be to say, 'I am here to see my fiancee'

I apologise if I misread what you said.

They seem to only turn people away if they have been on lots of visits within a short period of time. If you have enough evidence to prove that you are going home, it's usually ok.

But on the other hand, I suppose it depends on who you get on the day. No-one is guaranteed to get in anyway.
