My Foreign Fiancée/Spouse Had A Baby Overseas. Is My Child A US Citizen?

My Foreign Fiancee is Having a Baby Overseas- is our Baby a US Citizen?

My Foreign Fiancee is Having a Baby Overseas- is our Baby a US Citizen?

You and your fiancée need to apply for a CRBA.This stands for “Consular Report of Birth Abroad” of a Citizen of the United States of America and documents the birth of a United States citizen in a foreign country.

It is accepted by all U.S. government agencies as proof of a child’s American citizenship. Although not technically a birth certificate (which can only be issued by the local jurisdiction), the CRBA can be used in the U.S. in the same way as a birth certificate issued by a city or county registrar’s office.

It is also recommend that you apply for a child’s U.S. passport at the same time you apply for the CRBA.

Birth Abroad to One Citizen and Alien Parent in Wedlock:

A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA provided:

  • the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child’s birth.
  • For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required.
  •  For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.

Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Father:

A child born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen father may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 301(g) INA, as made applicable by Section 309(a) INA provided:

a blood relationship between the child and the father is established by clear and convincing
evidence;

  • the father had the nationality of the United States at the time of the child’s birth;
  • the father (unless deceased) has agreed in writing to provide financial support for the child until the applicant reaches the age of 18 years, and while the child is under age of 18 years:

(a) the child is legitimated under the law of their residence or domicile, or

(b) the father acknowledges paternity of the child in writing under oath, or

(c) the paternity of the child is established by adjudication court.

I hope this gives you a idea of where to start if you and your Foreign Fiancée or Foreign Spouse had a baby outside of the United States. If you are having a baby outside the United States and plan on bringing your Foreign Fiancée or Spouse and baby to the United States, we can help!

Holiday Travel Reminder: Advance Parole Reminder

Holiday Travel Reminder: Advance Parole Reminder

Going home for the Holidays? - Find out about Advance Parole

Going home for the Holidays? - Find out about Advance Parole

With the approaching Christmas and New Year’s Holiday season we wanted to remind everyone that Advance Parole from the USCIS is needed if your foreign spouse entered with a K1 visa and has a pending application for Adjustment of Status (Green Card).

If your spouse needs to travel outside of the United States there can be major problems if your foreign spouse is in the process of adjusting her status (applying for a Green Card). If your foreign spouse is in the process of seeking immigrant status (a Green Card) and departs the United States without the appropriate documentation (i.e. advance parole) your spouse may be found inadmissible to the United States when she returns, or even if admitted back, they may find that she has abandoned her adjustment of status application.

It is extremely important that your spouse obtains the right documents before leaving the United States. Admission into the United States is not guaranteed even if you have the correct documents. Your foreign spouse is still subject to immigration inspection or examination when entering the United States to determine whether she is admissible into the United States.

If you have any questions please feel free to call U S Visa Support, toll free at 1-907-877-8472. You can also visit our website at www.usvisasupport.com.

How to Avoid Problems with K1 Visa Application

My K1 fiancée visa was denied. What happened?

My K1 fiancée visa was denied. What do I do now?

Worried about US Fiance Visa Denial?

Worried about US Fiance Visa Denial?

When a consular officer denies a K1 fiancée visa application after the interview, he or she will provide the beneficiary with a refusal letter listing the section of law under which the visa was refused. When you are denied a K1 visa the denial notice will give you detailed instructions on submitting an appeal.  Once denied the K1 petition is sent back to the USCIS with a recommendation to be revoked. You have 33 days for the point you receive your denial notice to appeal the decision. You must file an I-290b with the USCIS to begin the appeal.   You must submit this appeal to the USCIS Office where you sent the original K1 Visa petition.

Once the interviewing officer refuses to issue the Fiancée visa, a memorandum will be prepared that details the reason for why the fiancée visa should not be approved.  The petition is then sent to the National Visa Center and then forwarded to the USCIS service center. Once the service center receives the K1 visa petition asking for it to be revoked a decision will then be rendered either to find no reason to revoke the approval and the petition will be sent back to the consulate.

The United States Petitioner will then be notified of the USCIS decision and the Fiancée visa will be approved.  The USCIS could also issue a notice of intent to revoke which will be sent to the United States Petitioner requesting more evidence to overcome the request for revoking the K1 visa.   If there is not enough evidence to overcome the reason for revoking or it is not responded to in a timely fashion, fiancée visa will be revoked.  This decision of revocation will be issued to the petitioner on Form I-292. The petitioner can then file another appeal to the decision to revoke the fiancée visa the same as if this was the original denial. These appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals must be filed in a timely manner anywhere from 15 days to 30 days after the visa has been revoked.  Most courts have determined that the final decision by USCIS to revoke a fiancée visa is final and not reviewable.

It’s a lot of text- what it boils down to is: You don’t ever want to be in a situation where your fiancée visa may be revoked.  That is why even if you are not using our service we strongly recommend getting support for the United States fiancée visa process.    Get our free consultation toll free at 1-907-877-8472.  We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.  There is no hard sell we just want to help.

K1 Visa, K3 Visa,CR-1 Visa, IR-1 Visa : Common tips and basic knowledge you need to know

K1 Visa, K3 Visa,CR-1 Visa, IR-1 Visa : Common tips and basic knowledge you
need to know

Things Everyone Should Know Before Applying for a Fiance or Spousal Visa

What do we need to know before we file?

A common mistake is for fiancée visa and marriage visa applicants to underestimate the amount and detail of the requirements and documentation needed to successfully apply for a K1 Fiancée visa and the K3 marriage visa and bring it to a successful conclusion to bring your fiancée or wife to the USA.

We would recommend that you always get help because there is little forgiveness in the visa process and mistakes cause delay and denial. We have seen many relationships fail or be stressed to the breaking point because of delays. How can you expect to get it done right the first time if you have never done it before? It all boils down to how much you value your time and your relationship.

  • One of the major requirements to process your Fiancée Visa/marriage visa application is that you have to show proof that you can support your wife. The 2011 Financial eligibility guidelines is $18,400 per couple and higher if more dependents or if you live in Alaska or Hawaii.
  • In order to apply, you, the petitioner must be a United States Citizen.
  • Can the petitioner apply for the children at the same time as applying for the Fiancée K1 or Spousal CR1 visa? Yes, and it is much faster and easier to apply at the same time.

The K1 visa or fiancée visa, will allow the fiancée of a US citizen to enter the U.S. for a period of 90 days so that she can marry the petitioning American citizen.

  • To file a K1 fiancée visa it is required that you both have met in person within the past two years.
  • You both must be free to Marry. All divorces or annulments must be final before applying for a Fiancée/marriage visa
  • When filing a Fiancée or Marriage visa you must prove an ongoing and genuine relationship with the beneficiary. This is a critical requirement so make sure you are gathering proof during the relationship
  • During the fiancée interview the consular officer has the sole discretion to deny the visa  petition. It is critical that your fiancée knows personal information about you and your family.
  • Attaching a personal letter to the I-129F describing the history of your relationship with your foreign Fiancée or Spouse is crucial for a successful visa petition.

Preparing a successful I-129F or I-130 Fiancée or Spousal visa is part knowing the little things that matter and presenting the appropriate documentation with the petition. Mistakes cause delays. Choose the right photos, and tell a clear and compelling story.

Get a free consultation to answer any questions and discuss your plans for bringing your fiancée to the United States. *At this time we do not take on any clients who have already began the application and have either experienced delays or denial.* This is due to the amount of time it takes to try and correct and our current work load. Please call us with any questions toll free at 877-907-8472 or check out our website www.usvisasupport.com for more fiancée/marriage visa information.

Do I need a Fiance Visa or a Marriage Visa?

Posted in Fiancee Visa | Tagged , , , , , , , | 1 Comment

Help! Where Do I Start On Bringing my Fiancée to the USA?

Help! Where Do I Start On Bringing my Fiancée to the USA?

Where do we start?

Bringing your loved one to the USA? Here's where to start.

As a United States Citizen, you have the right to bring your fiancée or wife to the United States. There are several different paths to bringing your wife or fiancée to the USA. We have included the definition of the visas available for bringing a fiancée or wife to the United States. This will give you the basics and the terms you need to get started.

We would recommend you research each of the visas online and then go to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website. Their website address is http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis.

K-1 Fiancée Visa: This non-immigrant visa allows the holder to travel to the United States for 90 days in which time you are to get married or she must return to her home country before the 90 day expiration.
After you’re married you are then eligible to apply for permanent residency (green card).

K-3 Marriage Visa: This non-immigrant visa allows the spouse of a American citizen to travel to the United States and then apply for permanent residency (green card) . The advantage of the K-3 marriage visa is that it is generally faster than the CR-1 or the IR-1.

Conditional Resident (CR-1) Marriage Visa: This is an immigrant visa (the foreign spouse is a legal permanent resident upon entry to the United States) which allows your spouse to come to the United States. The CR-1 is conditional for the first two years that the couple is married. 90 days prior to the 2nd anniversary of receiving the CR-1 they will need to apply to have the conditional status lifted.

Immediate Relative (IR-1) Marriage Visa: This immigrant visa (the foreign spouse is a legal permanent resident upon entry to the United States) is issued to a foreign spouse that has been married to a United States Citizen 2 years or more. The IR-1 Visa holder is automatically considered a permanent resident with no conditions

Green Card (Adjustment of Status: This is commonly referred to as a United States Permanent Resident Card and signifies that the holder is a legal permanent resident (LPR) of the United States.

Deportation: If you are found to be in violation of United States Laws regarding immigration, you could be deported. The first step of deportation will be a notice to appear issued from the U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. If after the hearings you are ordered to leave the U.S., you will still have a appeal process.

We here at U S Visa Support Inc. are dedicated to assisting you with your Fiancée/marriage visa document preparation. We have 30 years experience doing fiancée visa, spousal visas, and green cards. It’s all we do and no one has more experience or success. We are with you from start to the finish and your fiancée has her visa in hand.

Please call with any questions you may have. Call for a free consultation, toll free at 877-907-8472. Or you can visit our website for fiancée visa or marriage visa information. No hard sell, just good information

K1 Fiancée Visa or the CR-1 Marriage Visa, That Is The Question.

You’ve been dating with someone from a different country and you have a committed relationship. The question to be answered is do you and your fiancée get married then come to the United States with a marriage visa or do you come to the United States on a fiancée visa then get married?

The K1 Fiancée Visa or the CR-1 Marriage Visa, That Is The Question.

One of the main advantages of the Fiancée visa is that it allows your Fiancée to come to the U. S. for 90 days in which time you can get married or your fiancée can return home. These 90 days will allow your fiancée time to see American life and give your relationship some time to make sure that you both are making the correct decision. The other advantage of the K1 fiancée visa is that it is usually faster than the marriage visa. The K1 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows your fiancée to enter the United States for 90 days to get married. Once married you apply for a green card (adjustment of status) which once approved gives you lawful permanent residency (LPR).

The advantage of a marriage visa is that the green card (adjustment of status) isalready completed as part of the marriage visa when you arrive in the USA.

Remember, you still have to meet all the requirements for a fiancée visa or marriage visa. If you have more questions please call U S Visa Support, toll free, at 1-877-907-8472. You can also visit our website at www.usvisasupport.com for more information.
