even if they are married to us citizen and waiting for k3 visa, is it a failure waiting to happen, police cert will reveal, can not hide, do they accept police certs at face value

I may be wrong but I do not think they ask for police certs. It is usual for areas near the US consulates to be surrounded by "Advisors" Ask one of them and let them help you out. It may be a shorter route.   After 17 years without any toher problems, I don't think they will bother oyu too much. \nhere may be a process whereby you may get that record expunged. Try to see what can be done.\n\nGood luck.

Listen to Yak Rider, above.  Your husband is an intending immigrant.  He is not eligible for a non-immigrant visa.  End of story.  Stop asking.

I don't think you can prepare, if the married is legit (not marrying to get money or stay in the country) you have nothing to worry about.  The questions they ask you are personal questions.  the documents, marriage & birth certificate.  Your green card.  They should send you what you need to bring.

I married a Filipina. And let me give you some serious advice,. If I had a choice to do it all over again I would not do it. Not because I don’t love my wife because I do very much. but the amount of crap and time and money and aggravation you have to go through with the INS .. it simply is not worth it. I truly honestly don’t know how anyone ever emigrates to the US at all anymore. This has been a total nightmare. Please be forewarned. It is not an easy thing. It takes many many years to resolve. I married my wife over in the Philippines 4 years ago. And it took us about a year for me to get her to the US.. and once she was over here. It was truly a night mare as there are so many forms to fill out and on top of that the incompetence of the INS is just unreal. I think that all the stupid people in the world have been employed there. You will never get the same answer two times and are forced to send them more money for things that were their mistakes to begin with. Just letting you know. it is not all roses.

Unfortunately green card holders are not afforded the same privileges as U.S. citzens. As such, although he can petition for you through USCIS and then through the State Department, you are looking at a substantial waiting time. In cases such as yours, oftentimes the green card holding spouse will naturalize long before you can obtain an immigration benefit through the U.S. consulate. Once he becomes a citizen, however, you can apply for immediate immigration benefits.\n\nIn the meantime, there is very little you can do. You can attempt to apply for a tourist visa, but you have a very low margin for success (probably about 5%) since you have a spouse that is a lawful permanent resident. In cases such as these, the consulates and the officers at the border (if you get that far) will deny the visa/entry since you have a substantial tie to the U.S. that generally cannot be overcome by other ties to your home country. \n\nI would advise you have him begin the family immigration petition process and then wait out the time until either he naturalizes, or your visa number becomes available at the consulate. In the meantime, he would be free to visit you whenever he likes.\n\nGood luck!

There is no reason to reapply for his citizenship if he has not been denied, his case is still open and you can still add and change things.  As far as the fingerprint check goes, it depends on who is doing his investigation, there are many ways to check them.

I highly doubt it. One of the reverands primary duties is to act as an authoritative witness when the couple signs the papers.  You can't be a witness for yourself.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you need to file for a K-3 visa through USCIS and the National Visa Center. Begin by filing the immediate relative petition, and then the appropriate visa forms when you get a receipt from USCIS. Assuming your wife is granted K-3 status, she can then come to the U.S. and immediately apply for her lawful permanent residency (green card). Unfortunately there is no way to speed this process along, and you are looking at about a 6-10 month process to get her here on a K-3.\n\nIf you are not a U.S. citizen, then the picture changes considerably (way too much to list in this response).\n\nGood luck!

If she entered on a K-1 or K-3 you will need to file adjustment of status before the Visa expires or she will be out of status, although in most cases applications filed after the expiration of the Visa is forgiven when married to a US citizen.\n\nIf you are getting married from a Visitor Visa, apply for adjustment of status before her I-94 expires.

If you got caught once and you have been finger printed. Well that will be harder for you to get leagal status. Also the person that said you can get it faster when you married a citizen. Well they are wrong. Laws have changed and it is harder for you to get your green card. I dont understand why did you wait 16yrs to ask this question. People llike you are the ones that caused this problems at this time. You are lazy. Do you have a driver license? If yes then why did you decide to get a DL first and not the most important thing you needed. BE RESPONSIBLE! YOu're going to pay bundle to get your legal status. I know cause I worked the Calif/mexico Border with the US Army. I did the drug enforcement and learned all the laws for immigration. So dont be happy about marring a american. Remember LAWs has changed. \nThat order of deportatiion is a WARRANT.

I like the last answer (above mine), and have some additional stuff to add.\n\nFirst: as a local cop, I have NEVER received training in what constitutes an illegal alien.  I have no idea what's allowed and what's not...work visas, travel visas, passports, green cards.  I don't even know where I'd find the laws on the subject, to try and educate myself.  I've never even seen any training that's available on this subject, and I'm the guy responsible for training at my department.\n\nSecond, I do have an awful lot of other things to worry about besides trying to deal with someone whose only offense is that he's here illegally.  Many of them work and support their families, and that's a hell of a lot more than most of the crackheads I deal with will ever do.  Sort of a matter of priorities.\n\nHaving said that, I would not hesitate to arrest an illegal alien if I knew how to work the case.  I arrest DUI's, dope dealers, and wife beaters all the time, because I know how to work those cases.  I don't know the first thing about working an illegal alien case.  \n\nAlso, our local jail is currently extremely overcrowded and I don't know that they would even accept someone for an immigration offense.  \n\nI would be very interested in knowing more about the entire situation, and how it would work in my jurisdicition.  However, the Feds aren't forthcoming with any training to educate me on the issue, so I suspect they're not especially interested in dealing with it, either.  \n\nBelieve me, I share your frustration.  I just don't know what to do about it.

after you filout the I-130 you have to wait for the immigration notice, either you get an interview or they will deny the case. if you get the appointment you go there and they will ask you both(personal questions) if you don't answer the way they want the officer will deny the case than you have to go to the Bord of immigration, if your case is approved you can file the I-485 or adjustment of status and after that is the sweet green card.

Well it seems you've made a mistake. Tsk. Just divorce him. And Hell no can he reapply for residency. Heck if all of them started thinking like that, then people would just be getting married just to obtain legal status.

Seems to me that if you join the U.S. military and live in the U.S. for the time that it takes to get citizenship, you wouldn't need a visa after that.\n\nThere is also the method of getting married.  So, what's under that kilt?  We might negotiate something .....  ;o)\n\nSue

It is a refusal designation recommending withdrawal of the K-! application. Usually a p6c is issued when there is evidence that the family relationship was being fraudulently used to obtain a visa. For instance marriage to a US citizen that is based solely on  the basis of obtaining a visa. here is a link that best explains what happened and what you can do.\n\nhttp://www.ilw.com/articles/2006,0323-ellis.shtm\n\nI wish you the best good luck?

It sounds like you are saying that a US citizen is petitioning you to come to the US on a fiancee visa.  If that is the case, his being involved in a high speed chase and imprisoned would not affect your ability to get a visa.  Keep in mind that the consular officer who interviews you will probably know if the petitioner (your fiancee) has a criminal record and may ask you about this.  Please be careful and make sure you know your fiancee well (through personal meetings, not just internet chat) before proceeding to immigrate.
