Hi and welcome to BE.

What were you in jail for? That will make a difference.

Best Wishes,

If you are already married, you can not get a K1 visa. K1 is a fiancee visa, intended for people who wish to enter the US, marry their US citizen fiancee, then remain and adjust status to permanent resident. If you are married to a US citizen or permanent resident already, you need to research the CR1/IR1 spousal visa.

You will have to disclose your sentence on your visa application once the process reaches that stage. How much of a problem it will turn into depends on what you were convicted for. You may want to start your research by reading the sticky about CIMT.

You may get a visa in the end, or you may not. Based on the limited information given, it's anyone's guess.

its injure...and it happened before i got married

The punishment you received doesn't matter. What matters, is what the *maximum* penalty might have been... regardless of the punishment you actually got. To know that, you'll need copies of the court records - and you'll need an ACPO certificate, so you might as well get started on both right now. Hint - Google is your friend.


No, she won't. If you are already married, you are ineligible for a K-1 visa. Research CR-1 and/or IR-1 visa. Hint again - Google is your friend.

she wont ? didnt get that..... does that effect my process ? or i am ineligble or ?

The K-1 fiance visa is for UNmarried people. You are married people. Therefore, the K-1 fiance visa is not available for you; you are ineligible for the K-1 fiance visa.

Where were you in jail?

IM MARRIED.....

Noorah101

Yes, you are married. That's why you cannot do a K-1 fiance visa.

You will be doing a spouse Immigrant Visa.

You are asking whether your jail time will allow you to immigrate to the USA, correct? The answer is, we don't know because we don't have all the details of your arrest and crime.

what i know is k1 is for married people... fiance visa is for the people who are nto married

Would you like to start over and explain your situation? You are the one who put K-1 (fiance) in the title of your thread.
You now seem to understand that you can not use the K-1 visa.

If you are in the US, you don't need a visa. You need something else.

We won't guess all day long, so you will have to post some answers to our quesitons to get to the answers to your questions (if you actually have questions).

The K1 IS the fiance visa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am married/not married to my wife.

My wife is a US citizen/permanent resident of the US/other citizen.

My wife is currently in the US/Austria/Vietnam and I'm in US/Austria/Vietnam.

I was convicted of indecent exposure/robbing a bank/chasing the dragon and served a sentence of 1 month in jail.

Either LISTEN or there's no point in you posting again.

K1 is NOT for married people.

You need to answer the questions posed to you in this thread, before asking any more yourself.

Noorah101

No. K-1 is for UNmarried people.

That's correct. Fiance visa is for people who are not married. The name of the fiance visa is K-1.
