I'm not sure of the format her, this is my first post. Can anyone tell me what types of questions to expect in our interview for a K1 visa. Thanks
I know of some cases that people were fined via the federal court for lying about their made up marriage for papers. The woman got fined some $2,000 US and the man was told to wait for pigs to fly to try again and apply for an immigrant visa...
The woman now can't even consider marrying and trying to have the DHS give her the time of day, let alone papers for the husband...
Are you talking about visas in DR? Or elsewhere in the world?
I really have NEVER heard of ANYONE in DR getting fined for lying...
We've even discussed this on DTTUSA...maybe if anyone did get fined, they didn't dare post about it...
The most we've heard is of people just getting flatly refused their visas...and THAT'S bad enough!!!

Not in the DR... K1 is a visa that allows a US citizen to have their fianc?e come to the US and wait for their change of status there.
Also used by newly married couples with the same aim.
The one fined was the US citizen in Federal court; the Dominican citizen was never in the US to begin with as that was the whole idea behind the k1 interview...
Got it?
I think MQ is well aware of what a K1 visa is.
Yes it's a fiancee visa to the US but the sponsor and the immigrant have to get married within 90 days of the immigrant arriving in the US before they can change the status.
The interview for a K1 and K3 is done in Santo Domingo
K1 visa is not used by newly married couples if he/she is still in the DR that one is a K3 visa.
K1 visa for Dominicans that are engaged to US citizens
K3 visa for Dominicans married outside the US to a US citizen.
For this site we use Dominicans because, but it can be any nation applying to get a visa to the US.
And please, unless you have a link to a story of fraud or it's your own story don't post it here.
Thanks
Pichardo...the case you listed on your last post talks about fraud done IN THE US...therefore the person could be prosecuted here...
When you apply for a K-1 or K-3 visa (yes, Anna...I'm well aware of the types ) the USC HAS to go to the US Embassy in DR for an interview with their SO...
There, the CO, at their discretion, can ask all kinds of questions, depending on how they see the couple acting and reacting to each other...
They can even be sent to an 'interrogation' room were they look at each case deeper... (We were...and passed with flying colors...the only thing they saw was the age difference, but couldn't prove anything because our relationship is VERY real...let me also tell you that I think the CO that handled our case was 'dismissed' from her post shortly afterwards!)
In cases where there is clearly a reason to suspect fraud, the visa is simply denied...
Sometimes, if they get a 'hit' by the FBI on the DR SO's name, they can ask for more fingerprints and the case gets put on AR until resolved...which could take a few more months of waiting...
But, in the time I've been dealing with this process...(our case took 18 months) and I have been on DTTUSA...I have NEVER heard of ANYONE being prosecuted or fined for fraud...
Again, maybe if someone was, they never came back to post...but MOST of the ones that were denied did post their experience...and cried about it...although knowing full well they had lied...
Some have even gotten their visas, only to be very disappointed after arriving in the US and finding out they were only 'loved' for their visa!!!!!
Very few brave ones posted about those situations, though...
