Re: Fiance Visa Denied::can T Believe This!
The Sept 03 thread started by Catwhiskers covered this subject , which is
interesting, but too late with the information I guess. I find it had to
believe the lawyer didnt know about this, but if that is true, you dont have
an immigration lawyer, you have a lawyer who is not familiar with
immigration law,. and you would be better off without him. He could likely
cause you more trouble down the road.
Dont get me wrong, I think this is realy awful news. I wouldnt be able to
handle it myself.

Did both your fiance and his attorney not know it wasn't final until
after 90 days? I would have expected this to have come up at some point
in the divorce process, especially if he had a fiance at the time.

Your lawyer should pay for the fees to refile. Most of the people on
this newsgroup know that you have to be able to marry at the time of
filing the I-129F for a fiance.

At this point I would be doubtful of anything that attorney (not
Folinskyinia) says. He failed on a simple point of filing for I-129F...
You can not file unless you are able to marry at the time of filing.

<smiles> If there's something I've learn over the months I've been reading this newsgroup, it's that when the lawyers who help people on these boards recomend something, it's always very sound advice. They are all very capable lawyers and good people.

Re-read the thread Mike. It's apparently what he owes in back child support and they won't issue him a passport until he coughs it up.
That's a lot of child support. Sheesh.

If the $5000 was for child support, the post should have said it.
He should have worked out the CS issue before going to college.

I hate to post this
I hate to be the bad girl here, and I hate this bad news for you, but I just have to say, are you sure you didnt realize this, or did you not want to wait for the final divorce decree because you were like everyone else and wanting this to go as fast as possible.
I think you chose to ignore what you knew, and hoped for a favourable outcome.
I think you should be approved, but what you think and I think or anyone else here thinks doesnt matter. You had to have done reading on all of this prior to filing, if you didnt, then as always in the legal arena, ignorance doesnt count.
I think you knew, I think you took a chance, and you lost....
Im sorry you lost , I wish you would have won.

Hi Cute Nurse:
This is terrible news. I was sure you were close to getting an approval and now this. It has to be so depressing for you right now. I would take Folinskylina's advice and send them an entire new application along with the denial. Leaving out previous encounters only leads to further delays while they put it on the shelf and then check it out. Once they have to check out something then your looking at exta months. I am sure this is what happened to us before we were approved because I did not include a separate letter with explanation that I had cancelled a previous K1 because it was not going to work out.
Although its agonizing for you right now if you really love each other you will get through this and it will happen because other than the fact you filed too early you have done nothing else wrong to be denied. Whoever is to blame for this doesn't matter if you long term goal is to marry this man. So go for it girl!!
