I think you meant this to be in the Petitioner interview thread, not the topic about fiancee visit on a visitor visa and marry. I thought this was the Petitoner interview thread. That was the original thread post.

Pretty soon they will ask people for a blood sample to get through security. Just disguise yourself as cargo and you won't have to worry about security.

Congratulations!!!

I wish they would have called me in for an interview when we filed for the K-1! Maybe they will this time. I hope so.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!!!!!

I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK!!

Hey all, speaking on the issue of human rights in China....... During my research for my Persuasion Theory class, I happened to find this Journal article written by UCLA Law professor Randall Peerenboom: "Assessing Human Rights in China: Why the Double Standard?" It is very interesting and makes you think. Here is the link for the PDF version of it: "Assessing Human Rights in China: Why the Double Standard?"

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I am not sure if we will do an EOR letter or not. I DO know that I will make sure that my wife knows information about my previous marriage, such as when we were divorced, why we got divorced, etc. I think it is very important for you both to at least be on the same page about this. I have read many interview accounts where the VO asks her questions about his previous marriage. Obviously, it will look bad if she is not able to answer these questions correctly. As someone has already said, it will make it look like the 2 of you don't communicate or that you really don't know each other very well. Always remember to be as prepared as possible because the VO is looking for any excuse to deny the visa.

Believe me when I say that my wife and I know what you two are going through and how you feel. As you can see, it has been a long road for us. We are both very stressed, and it has been very difficult for us. However, it has made our love for each other stronger. We both want to have children as well, and I am 35 and she is 32.I know that she can get pregnant in China, but like you I want to be with her as a husband and father during that time. Just hang in there, and NEVER GIVE UP! Giving up is exactly what the USCIS wants you to do!

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!!!!!

https://egov.uscis.g...or.statecode=VT In a nutshell CSC adjudicator may have seen this on record, and the sent it to VSC where they specialize in cases like this. Actually, my offense was not against a woman.

CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH!!

Hey all! It has been awhile since I have posted here. I hope everyone is doing well. As you can see from our timeline, I recently received a notice from USCIS informing me that our petitions were transfered from CSC to VSC. My question is....why? Our K-1 petitions went to CSC, our I-130 and I-129F went to CSC, all of my evidence documents went through CSC. Then, all of the sudden they decide to transfer everything to the VSC. I asked my attorney about it, and he has no clue why they did it. The notice they sent me said that they transfered it because the VSC has jurisdiction over petitions in Indiana. Which, according to the USCIS website and form instructions, Indiana petitions go to CSC. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that CSC already denied our K-1 petition, and the USCIS wants to give the responsibility of making a decision to the VSC. I am hoping that it will end up being a good thing that our petition is at the VSC. Any thoughts as to why the transfer? Anyone else have their petitions transfered between service centers?

We waited a total of 1 1/2 years to get the final denial notice for the K-1 petition. After waiting 11 months,they sent me a denial because they claimed that I did not go to an appointment in Indianapolis to have my fingerprints taken as part of my background check.Thankfully, I had proof that I was there. Despite the fact that it was due to USCIS error, I ended up having to pay more than $500 to file a form to reopen our case. After waiting an additional 6 months, the final decision on the K-1 petition was a denial. I was in China at the time we recieved the denial, so we decided to get married there and file for the K-3 visa. I filed it in December of last year..so you do the math. I am not sure what the "problems in your past" are, but this process has been a living hell for us because of my past. Depending on what the issues you have are, you can probably expect a long wait. I wish you good luck in this process. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Have ALOT of patience! And....PRAY to whatever the diety of your choice may be!

The way things have been going for us so so far......it looks as though living in China may be my only option.

Yeah...we are both still hangin in there. Needless to say, it has been very difficult for both of us. I plan on making my third trip there next Summer, hopefully by that time it will be for her interview. But...we'll see. Thanks.

Hey all! I received the NOA 1 for the I-130 yesterday, but I never received the transfer notice telling me where the petition was sent to. The VJ step-by-step says that I have to submit a copy of the transfer notice along with a copy of the NOA 1 with the I-129F. The address at the bottom of the NOA 1 was for the CSC. Is it normal to get the NOA 1 before the transfer notice? Can I send the I-129F without it? I tried contacting my attorney about it, but I may not hear from him for a few days cause he is on vacation.

Hey all.....my wife doesn't have an Alien Registration Number, and at the bottom of the G-325A form she wrote her registration number asssigned to her by the Chinese government. She thought that this is what she was supposed to write in the space at the bottom of the form. I finally have all the paperwork and forms I need to file the I-130 and would like to send it all in as soon as possible. I don't really want to wait for her to fill out the forms again and mail them to me because it will take a long time. Can I either cross the number out or use white out on it and still send the forms in, or will the USCIS not accept this?

WELCOME TO CFL! THIS IS A GREAT PLACE!

It WAS denied. So I can file the I-130? Do I have to do anything about the K-1 petition before I file the K-3? I have gathered new evidence this time to refute the K-1 denial reason. It was denied by the USCIS - if you don't appeal, there is no further action on the case. If you are presently married, an appeal would be fruitless You may file the I-130 any time you wish. Thank you.

I read that the G-28 is not really accepted/used by USCIS in the case of the petitioner filing one himself/herself. It is for lawyers or representatives of the case. The petitioner is filing the I-130; so no need to say you are representing your own case. I think this is the common sense that those of us have argued for years against the idea for the petitioner to file a G-28. I think I read this concerning the electronic online filing now available, if you say you have a G-28 they ask for the law firms name... I guess they realized that too many petitioners are filing this and should not be. ----- The caveat of the G-28 coming from the lawyer is that they also now get all the mailing of information... that can also work against you if you were hoping to do things as fast as possible. Most report that lawyers cause their case to run slower... your not the only client they have. Also, I'm not sure that the shortcut's can be used if a lawyer is in the middle of it all. Hmm....then I am not sure if I want him to submit the form or not if it might cause delays.

It WAS denied. So I can file the I-130? Do I have to do anything about the K-1 petition before I file the K-3? I have gathered new evidence this time to refute the K-1 denial reason.
