question about k1 visa denied/reapply?

[pnoytayo 0]

hi new to the forum been browsing for the past week. i was thinking about applying for the k1 before they jack the prices up in the next weeks. i am in the process of getting a new job, a higher paying job, comfortably above the 'poverty line', my CURRENT job is just above the 'poverty line' that doesn't look good at all to the consulars in the philippines and worries me, my question is if i am denied for 'lack of support', do i have to pay 'processing fees' again? do i start from scratch when i reapply? thx in advance SALAMAT:) MABUHAY

Most consulates if deny for that reason tend to hold the visa petition, and give you a chance to get a co-sponsor, or add assets to the I-134 to improve your financial picture, they don't outright send the case back to the USCIS.

thank you for the timely response! 1 last question, she has a child from a previous relationship (child is under 21), she isnt bringing her kid with her at this time, but in the future she would like to petition him, will that affect/raise the bar on the 'level of support' at this time? or until i file for a K3 in the near future?

No, only when you do sponsor the child.
