Thank you Ms. Brown for taking my friends case on his denial. It was nice talking to you briefly on the phone. You have been very helpful with your videos and I am glad that he retained you to help him out.

[@directusimmigration]

You’re very welcome! It was a pleasure chatting with you as well, despite how brief it was.

[@josephblacha1393]

Hello, I would like to know about how long of a wait it is after all the appropriate documentation is sent in to UNCIS? Joseph

[@directusimmigration]

At this time, the K-1 process from start to finish takes about 2 years.

[@Mary-zo4rx]

Is taking 6-8 months currently

[@ginnnao3250]

For additional evidence are we allowed to bring in our laptop during the interview or does all additional evidence need to be in a binder?

[@directusimmigration]

No, unfortunately you cannot bring your laptop. All evidence needs to be printed.

[@faithm6202]

My fiancé visa denied because the officer said he had filled out DS160 some years back as married. He has no prove of the marriage because tjeee never exist any. What a problem😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@ChinenyeStaley-h9k]

I’m sooooooo sorry dear.

[@richardbabs4825]

How did your case go ?

[@richardbabs4825]

Why did he get a divorce decree before applying

[@richardbabs4825]

Why not tell the truth that agent help him to fill the form , since he has never been married so is better to just tell the truth

[@georgehaddad962]

I like what I heard and it was iteresting. Are you at this point taking new cases?

[@directusimmigration]

Yes, we are. To discuss further, you may contact us at [e-mail] .

[@andymorales1825]

thank you so much for the video. do you know with the affidavit of support if you owe back taxes to IRS , will they deny the k-1 visa? (3k dollars) to be specific that’s what i owe

[@directusimmigration]

If you are on a payment plan with the IRS, then that in itself won't cause a denial of the case. To discuss further, please schedule a consultation with us at www.directusimmigration.com .

[@harrisshakeel8642]

Hey, Is the 2 year meeting requirement only for before submitting k1 petition or does it carry on until the interview. If I haven't met my fiance's in person and it will be 2 years when the interview comes will it be denied?

[@directusimmigration]

2 years from the date of filing the petition. To discuss further, please schedule a consultation with us at www.directusimmigration.com .

[@TressyG23]

Thank you so much for the update…. At my interview October 24th my medical was late so my K1 visa was refused, however it was sent over on the 1st of this month and we got approved on the 2nd. Ever since the 2nd our CEAC have been saying approved. How long do you think we’ll have to wait until it gets issued?

[@directusimmigration]

Thank you for your inquiry. For more information, please visit our website at directusimmigration.com/. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us.

[@AdCosmo]

How can you have wedding plans/invitations/receipts when you don't even know when/if the visa will be approved?🤔

They should be general plans. For example, we will get married in X county Y days after entry. To discuss further, please schedule a consultation with us at www.directusimmigration.com .

[@ribajalandoon1910]

Hello madam, Is it important to submit the notarized original letter of support from family when we file form I-129f? Thankyou!!!!😊

[@Bibid]

I was a question. When we file the i129 our lawyer only put the petitioners criminal record and didn’t include the beneficiaries. However the beneficiary has a shoplifting crime of an item that was worth $10 and was let go on a warning. Is it okay that we’ll include this on the d160 form ?

[@directusimmigration]

The I-129F focuses more on the petitioner's criminal history and not the beneficiaries. At the DS-160 stage, all questions should be answered truthfully.

[@Bibid]

We included it on the ds 160 form. The beneficiary just got their police clearance certificate and it says that they have a theft conviction and the sentence was a warning. Will this automatically cause denial?

[@hopefulforhumanity5625]

I am wondering if my son, a US citizen and sponsor, needs a police certificate for himself? He says it is not required for him but it is required for his fiance. Is that correct?

[@directusimmigration]

Yes, that is correct. The only time he needs to provide information about his criminal record is if he has one for certain crimes. To discuss further, please schedule a consultation with us at www.directusimmigration.com .

[@otherstuff5750]

I was told by our immigration lawyer that we should not get a prenuptial agreement (just to protect our assets) because immigration would view it as fraud. Is this true? Is there anyway other way to protect ourselves in the event of divorce ?

[@directusimmigration]

No, that’s not true. Nor is it something that needs to be disclosed to USCIS. To discuss further, please contact us through www.directusimmigration.com .

[@davedesigns5395]

Hi, My Query is if after the marriage if spouse wants to study can he apply for college. As marriage based green card takes too long can the foreign spouse study on the temporary visa he gets after marrying his partner in usa.

[@davedesigns5395]

Also, Will the foreign spouse be able to get any education loans or other loans in usa for study! after getting married and before getting green card and How long does the green card process take to get the green card.

[@directusimmigration]

@@davedesigns5395 Yes, the green card applicant can study once the individual has the receipt notices for the filing. You will need to contact the school to determine eligibility for scholarships.

Hey:), just submitted adjustment of status. Do you know how long until my wife receives her green card? Lastly, do you know how long after receipt can we apply for her citizenship? Please advise. Tysm!

[@directusimmigration]

I have an American boyfriend that I met online since 2021 and we plan getting engaged in January 2024 and apply for the k1 visa. My question is the made I made 2019 on my tourist visa by lying by saying I was married when I was not , do you think it will affect my k1 visa application being denied because when filling the k1 visa there are sections that asked if I have been divorced and I choose single will it contradicts what I said in 2019 on my tourist visa that I lied by saying I was married when I was not which I later explained later on my other visa application by saying I was single.
