K1 visa

[BakedPotato23 0]

Not really sure how this website, but I was wondering what would the best way to avoid denial be? Please try to be understanding, my fiance was 15 when we first started dating and I was 19 about to turn 20 but now she's legal, she's 18 at the moment and will turn 19 in a few months. What can I do to avoid denial for the k1 visa as she's the petitioner? I love her with all my heart and I just want to be with her in the US asap, fees are not an issue. Thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated

what country/embassy?

have you checked poverty guidelines to see if she has income to support the petition?

Has she checked health care insurance to see if she can provide u with insurance?

and you say fees are not an issue but do you know the fees to AOS after US marriage as they are over $2000?  

To be serious young people can marry and often do but income is so important not only for immigration but for a good life and to have a family

If u were my son I would say both of u need to look into furthering your education and hold off on marriage 

time goes faster than u think and entering into this with a good career later on has all the advantages

good luck to u both and i wish u well

Keep the coresspondence open and visit each other as much as possible so u know each other well

We haven't filed it yet, but I am the beneficiary and I live in Canada. She's able to support the petition fees & and she has health insurance. And yeah, I'm aware about the AOS fees I have money saved up. We just want to be together and start a life together in the states asap, and we'll also have a joint sponsor if anything.

she has to buy it for u the bene and its expensive even if she can add u to a work place policy

if I was on my husband's at work, it would require the family plan even though there is only 2 of us and that is an extra $450 monthly plus the $3000 deductible unless u have a co insurance

 

I only mention insurance as this is normally one of the things she will need to prove she has checked into and can afford for u (usually in high fraud countries which Canada is not ) but Canadians can now answer your query as they know best

 

Even on the K1 you have time to attend tech school or college as your wait is about 2 years for K1 or CR 1

How much time have you spent together (actually)?  Yes, that will be important to the final outcome.

K1 Petition,  Petitoner or Beneficary can both be under age 18 to file.

 

Under 18 would need parental Consent

it is not a  requirement of the petition but many a CO will ask  when petitioner income is questionable .  Seniors on SSA sometimes need to prove they have researched health care for a K1 as they can not add a spouse to medicare

These are very young people and it would be a good idea for the petitioner to be prepared for any and all objections the CO would have at the interview.  it doesn't hurt to know and have the information for the CO
