Thanks! This was a perfect example for us to look at to determine how to write this affidavit.

Thank you guys. My interview went fine. Luck for us, the lady behind the counter was kind hearted. Most questions or documents we thought would be asked were not. Even the original divorce decree was not asked. Questions about my previous k1 and why we divorced were not even mentioned, just the date of divorce was asked and if I filed for divorce after meeting her. Other than this, it was just like a normal k1 visa interview. One thing I think helped us enormously is the fact that I visited her during the interview and was there 1 week before. They asked to see pictures of this visit and my fiancé said they confirmed a few times if I truly am here. Thanks guys for the help. Hopefully this helps the next person going through a situation like mine.

In my initial k1 packet, I send along a screenshot of my fiancé with a ring on her hand, and wrote in caption that I got her a ring before I left. No ceremonies or engagements were done. Will this cause issues in Mumbai embassy? Also, she is a Hindu and I'm a Sikh. Do they question this as well?

Just wondering if anyone from India had their second k1 approved or even third. It seems its a common thing in the Philippines and very rare in other embassies like India. Is India much harder than Philippines?

Thank you, I sure will this time. This is the beauty of the k1 visa, it gives us a little more time. Was all your k1s from the same country? any extra scrutiny during interview that you remember?

Thanks, Good to hear another second k1 like me approved. I have already proof of video calls, chat logs, chats discussing marriage idea and invitation card, affidavits from her brothers and sisters who witnessed our relationship, many photos of my family and I, meeting her family, shopping together, rings we exchanged and receipts. We are talking daily, practicing some questions they might ask, and I told her everything about the ex and what happened. India, from my last experience and some friends, the interview is pretty relaxed as long as you have all the proof and documents, so might be very similar to Philippines. Yes it was a short marriage, and quick refile. What to do, it was covid time, things just didn't work out for us and we had changed over time. We tried our best and eventually filed for divorce. I'm not getting any younger and want to start a family soon.

No waiver was needed in my case because my first k1 FILING DATE was more than 2 years from my second k1 FILING DATE. Yes J.M., I suppose interview is my main concern right now with my history where my ex is still in the country (legally). Most other multiple filers posted where they withdrew the case or their fiance or ex wife left the country. Mine has stayed, and decided to work and transfer her medical degree to the US. This was her decision and she is on her own right now as we have been legally divorced since before I filed my second k1. Since my fiance country is considered in the top 10 of USCIS watch list, I'm guessing that's for high fraud rates. Philippines is also on the top 10 list, so even if someone from that country can chime in, it would help. I know the process since I have done this before, we are currently collecting paperwork needed at interview. I finally found someone I was looking for, and don't want to make any mistakes so trying to prepare well so we can be together soon.

So I filed for my first ever k1 in 2020, she arrived to usa in dec 2021. we got married 2 months later, she got her GC around june 2022, we got divorced in dec 2022. so the marriage almost lasted 1 year. she is still here in usa finishing her medical degree and going about her life. I have not read of another multiple filer whose ex is still in the usa and their new k1 got approved. I applied for my second k1 in feb 2023, and we are close to interview and im just wondering how much scrutiny will we face due to the previous k1 and divorce? and if any special paperwork or evidence we should prepare for. Furthermore I want to know if something similar happened to someone and if their second k1 got approved?
