As always your videos are very informative me and my wife are just waiting on the consulate and got it to come up with the interview date thank you again for all you do for all your clients
1. Prove you are lawfully married 2. Consummated the marriage, being together 3. You too truly want to spend your lives together. Convince a stranger to believe 4. You must be lawful US citizen 5. Your income exceeds 125% of poverty level of where you live 6. You’ve not been convicted of certain crimes 7. Your foreign spouse is of good moral character 8. Your foreign spouse have not seriously violated US immigration laws 9. Your foreign spouse has a valid passport for travel 10. Your foreign spouse passes the medical
Dear Mr Whal thank you for all you do. We have decided (we are 55 yr olds me British UK. He, my sponsor & military resident of America) have decided to go down the cr1 route rather than k1. 2 questions if I may please,? 1. Can I marry him during a visit to him as British tourist in USA,? And once married, do I have to return to my country, UK. Alone, within 90 days? Or can I remain in USA with him, as his new wife, through CR1 process which is where we plan to settle forever - in his home in Az. Thank you. The main plus for CR1 I believe is that hopefully it will allow him to be by my side always, through the whole process (interview/medical/documents all within USA only). This is truly helpful. Thank you Sir.
You can marry during a visit. You should respect the terms of the visa or visa waiver you traveled on. This normally means returning to home country, newly married or not.
Great video! I have a question. If I marry my foreign fiancé in a different country such as Canada where my fiancé will be on a work assignment and is from the Philippines. Does my spouse have to go back to the Philippines for the spousal visa process?
Your spouse can be interviewed at the consulate that handles processing for your spouses country of birth, country of citizenship or country of lawful residence. If you spouse is a resident of Canada then can be interviewed in Montreal.
Hey love your videos! How important is my sponsor's Certificate of Citizenship number for an affidavit of support (I-134)? They have lost it and it would cost $500+ to replace just to see that number. Thank you so much in advance if you answer!
Hi sir! We had a proxy marriage in state of Montana last January 8,2022 and we already got a marriage certificate. We have a proof of consummated marriage.We were planning to file for USCIS for CR1. May I ask what should be the possible needed requirements? Thank you so much
When I work with my clients the first step is to get to know the full details of their situation. Then based on that I prepare a personalized checklist from them of all the documents and evidence that based on my experience we want to put on the consular officers desk on the day of the interview to convince the officer of the couples bona fides.
Hi Fred, have you heard anything about must having US-based income for the income requirements? I've been working/living in China (Chinese company) for the last several years (with a Chinese bride) so wondering if that could be a potential stumbling block.
I offer a niche service to assist Americans living outside the USA apply for their fiances or spouses while remaining together, outside the USA for the duration of the process. Details at www.visacoach.com/spouse-fiancee-visa-service-for-ex-pats/ When working with these clients if the American Sponsor does not have sufficient US based cash assets or home equity, and his/her foreign income terminates when returning to USA, I council the American to enlist the assistance of a US based financial co-sponsor.
My Husband's priority date is April 2021.he has been DQ and completed May 11th 2022. He is a CR1-DS260. We have been married 2 years.How long until we get an interview from consulate of Juarez Mexico?
Hi Sir! I'll be marrying a US resident. Should we wait for him to become a citizen before we apply for petition or we can apply right away after marriage and update our status once he became Citizen? He will be citizen after less than a year of our marriage.
You start by reaching out to me and asking for general info on getting a spouse visa. You send email to info@visacoach.com and ask for "Spouse Visa 101" and I will educate you on the process.
At what point during the application process do we need to show that we consummated the marriage? I’m a US citizen living in China and my Russian fiancé had to go back to Russia I’m February. We got married online in April and submitted the spousal visa paperwork in May. Do we need to arrange a trip to meet sometime during the document reviewing stages or can I fly out to meet her a week or two before her interview?
online wedding then consummation then submit application, in that order. So your May submission was a wasted effort. Whoever helped you with your application gave you terrible advice.
Thank you for this video. But just a quick query, I am Filipino and I got married Online with partner. My concern is, my partner had a criminal record and we're now processing our visa. I was wondering what can we do if this hinder our goal to get a visa?
The list of crimes that affect a spouse visa are very few. Primarily, any form of child abuse makes the US sponsor ineligible. Other crimes are not an issue.
Hi Coach. I have a concern about my wife. She’s is illegal migrant in France. We got married there and have a marriage certificate. I want to sponsor her and bring her to US but don’t know if it’s ok because of the fact she has expired visa to stay in France.
hello coach, i have a question, should my US citizen husband continue to pay taxes even if he moved to foreign country to live and work in his wife's country?
We have submitted all the documents to NVC and their status is showing like accepted. But our case is just below on financial aspect and they said the councilor officer will make decision on the time of interview regarding this. And secondly they asked for some addition documents like source of income. As they are showing all documents are accepted so we are documentary qualified. ?? Or still have to submit the asked documents again.
Does it matter where we marry to apply for this visa? For example, I am a U.S. citizen and I marry my spouse in the UK who is already a UK citizen or green card holder. But we will be living in the USA. Does that matter? The location of marriage?
Good morning sir ,please please answer me sir,, how long does it takes to get an interview appointment letter from the NVC for immediate relative of a U S citizen ?????? Have been waiting for too long sir please answer me
Best is you ask the consultant or attorney who knows ALL the details of your case. If you want to provide me those details for my considered opinion, I can do so, and provide advice. Reach out to me at info@visacoach.com and ask for information on "One to One Consultation" for ongoing case.

Thank you for your amazing videos and information! I'm an employee somewhere (in the US) and I'm making enough money to sponsor my wife for a CR1 visa, also I'm starting a small business on the side. When I'm applying for a CR1 visa for my wife, is it possible to go and live with my wife in her country and come back until she gets her Spouse visa? I'm not an expat, I just want to live with my wife while she's waiting to get her visa. My concern is that Immigration says I have left my current job that I have put on the affidavit of support. Is there ANY way that I could apply for a CR1 visa for my wife and go and live with her? Do they need to know that I am living with her after I apply for a CR1 visa for my spouse? Thank you so much!
You can certainly go to live with your spouse during the process. And while you are not an Ex-pat yet, once you move to a foreign country that is exactly what you become. Financial evidence is required about a year after applying then at the interview. So if you live outside the country, either you have enough cash assets, home equity, or stable income, or a CO-sponsor when the time comes to demonstrate eligibility.
Hey, good morning, my husband filed for me to join him in the USA on September 2nd, 2021 now is been almost 7months, and we haven't heard anything from immigration. Is any way you can help us out.
If you need assistance on your ongoing case, I do offer some services for you. To get the price list send your request to info@visacoach.com, and ask for "Menu of services for ongoing spouse visa case"
I have a question when applying for I-130 petition online, it asks for my foreign spouse's passport info but he doesn't have one.. so then it is a must for him to get one in order for me to turn in the application? Thanks
I don't recommend a DIY attempt for the visa. However I do offer some services to assist DIY'ers. For a menu of services send your request to info@visacoach.com
Hey visa coach, I have a question for you but because of my previous postings out of anger, I don’t expect you to reply but I will give it a shot. My k1 visa petition has started moving since my last posting and the ceac website now states that my case is ready. My lawyer’s secretary will work on my ds160 for my Filipino fiancée when she gets back from vacation. She said I could go ahead and pay the next set of fees required before the ds160 can be filed. The problem is that the website will not finish the process after I have entered the case number and invoice number that the nvc had given me. It just keeps going back to the beginning of the process where you enter the case number. I tried calling the nvc but they are closed due to inclement weather and will open back up on Monday. Have any of your clients experienced this issue as well? Once again I realize you might not feel like replying back to me due to my rather explosive previous postings and I understand your position if that is the case. I just wanted to try and see what you might say about the ceac website issue.
Hi I have a partner who is same sex but she lives in the Philippines we plan to get married through UTAH online but they sre telling me i camnot marry her since she is in the Philippines
The US consulate in Manila is a guest in the Philippines. As a guest they respect local laws. As Philippines does not recognize same sex marriage it is unlikely that the consulate will. Confirm by speaking with the consular officers directly, or hire an immigration attorney for advice and possibly to fight this policy.
Hello sir,please responce me,my question is when i applied my spousal visa i used my maiden name but my passport got expired before my visa interview now i renewed my passport to my married name,can i proceed my visa interview using my married passport? What happened to my documents name by my old passport or should i start all over again changed my visa aplication to my married passport?
You should reach out to the consultant or attorney who is working on your case for his detailed advice. If you wish VisaCoach to get involved send email to info@visacoach.com and ask for "menu of services for ongoing spouse visa case"
Hlo sir I'm Nepalese live in Portugal trc card holder and my wife is in USA can I try Spouse visa from Portugal and what is the requirements documents and how much does it takes time plzz reply me ❤❤
Your USA spouse can submit a spouse visa for you, and if you are a lawful resident in Portugal you can be interviewed in Paris. For details on Spouse visas send your request to info@visacoach.com and ask for "Spouse Visa 101"
Overstaying comes with a 3 year, 10 year or lifetime ban from returning to the USA. In such a case I suggest you contact an experienced immigration attorney for assistance.
I have a question. My wife and I got married online. We have a marriage license from the state of Utah. I have also went and visited and consummated the marriage. We have an abundance of pictures to prove we are together. I have gathered all documents. I have sent the ROM to Philippines consulate in San Francisco. Filipino visa has a copy of our marriage license. But says we have to wait and get a marriage contract from PSA after ROM is filed? Is that true? I have heard it could take a year before it’s available from PSA. Wish I had known about you before hiring them.
I have questions my husband's and i married for 5 years now , we been married in texas last 2017 and i get in his country , i was flew back in Phillippines with holding a 2 year conditional greencard unfortunately last 2020 been lockdown and its continue for a year ,of many lockdown in my area and travel restrictions. , i was stuck here and my greencard is Expired my husband. Is in texas and he has warrant arrest , he try get me out here what his option for this so while our Immigration not gonna affected please , hope u give me some ideA
Hi i am an indian and last year i got married in vancouver canada to a US green card holder we were in relationship we have a court marriage certificate i am in india now to apply a spouse visa do we need a traditional marriage in india?people say at the time of interview we need traditional marriage photographs
To be successful US immigration must be convinced that your relationship is "bona fide" not a sham for immigration purposes. The closer your case follows cultural norms and expectations the more likely the visa will be granted.
I am a U.S. citizen trying to marry my future wife. I have been out of U.S. for about a year and I was unemployed for another year prior to that hence my income will not exceed the poverty level. I have money, stocks etc with 10+ years of history. Would that work? Any ideas?
Current income, home equity and/or cash assets can be used to demonstrate financial eligibility. Providing you have "enough" and back it up with evidence, any of the above can work independently or combined. If you want me to review your financial situation in depth and provide advice, I can do so. Order 30 minutes of my time and advice. Details at www.visacoach.com/one-to-one/
Can I petition for my huband on cr1 visa category? I am lawful permanent resident. We have been married for 2 months now. Someone said I cant apply for my husband on cr1 visa 💔😔
Yes, you can apply for a spouse visa. By the time it is granted your marriage will be well over 2 years old, so the visa that will be issued is the IR1
An Alien Spouse who marries an American and is a lawful permanent resident in the USA (still married to the same American) is eligible to apply for US citizenship. If Citizenship is granted, the alien becomes a US citizen and can apply for a US passport.
I have a question please Sir,can my spouse file for me immediately after the wedding? I mean can he file for me spouse visa after the marriage.is it possible?
My partner is visiting me on an ESTA and just proposed to me on my birthday. Can my fiance marry me while he is visiting USA on his ESTA? He still plans to leave at the end of his ESTA and go back to his home country, and we will then file for a CR1 VISA while he is back in Iceland. He will take those 2 years to focus on settling his personal belongings and working. Would this be legal and successful? Or, do we need to marry out of the country and THEN file for a CR1 VISA? We had no intent to marry upon his visit, but we don't want to seem shady to the government...
Your plans are fine. He can certainly marry you in USA during his visit. The "key" issue is that he does not plan to overstay, instead he plans to leave and then apply for the CR1 visa. Me and my wife Joyce did exactly that. We came to USA for the holidays, invited my family to meet us in Las Vegas, we got married, celebrated with them, then after the honeymoon returned to Hong Kong, and eventually applied for the spouse visa. See www.visacoach.com/marriage-non-immigrant-visa/
Please overlook my weird username visa coach. I’m not here for myself but for a friend who doesn’t have a CZcams account. This question is referring to the k1 visa process so it’s different than the subject of this video. Here is the question, does the Manila embassy in the Philippines contact the petitioner as well as the beneficiary to schedule the interview for the k1 visa process or do either of them have to schedule the interview for themselves? My friend that I spoke of is receiving conflicting information from other sources and he is confused about this. Also he told me that the Manila embassy does not have his fiancée email or phone number because the initial paperwork did not request it. But he just recently received an email from the nvc that his k1 application is being sent to the Manila embassy and he wants to find out this information before things start rolling. Any information you can give me to pass to him will be appreciated visa coach. And again I apologize for my weird username.
The petitioner and/or beneficiary for fiance visa schedule the interview. The consulate might contact them via email, but often the NVC letter is the only notice they get. If your friend needs help, ask her/him to hire professional assistance, such as that which is provided by me.
👆👆I truly feel like being single now, is actually a sign that we are choosing to do the work. Rather than get in a relationship broken and toxic expecting others to love the parts of us, that we don't even love. Being single for me is intentional and the struggle is fighting my default of thinking I need to be in relationship or something is wrong . I've never been so happy with myself in my entire life as I've been these last 2.5 years of my single season, Wasn't funny when i saw all her text messages and logs, thanks to savvy pentsters for shedding light to what wasn't cleared at first
Hey visa coach, I'm going to ask this as politely as I can. Are you still working with k1 visas or have you completely decided to kick k1 visa applicants to the back burner? I am asking you this because your last couple of videos have been all about helping with spousel visas and for those who are already married. But it honestly appears that you have totally forgotten about and disregarded the k1 visa applicants. Again I am trying my best to be polite with you about this due to the fact that most embassies and most immigration agencies have totally stopped working with k1 visas because of the covid epidemic. Just remember visa coach, we didn't cause the covid epidemic and we didn't ask for it to happen. I personally have not used your services as I already have a lawyer but my point is that I seriously think that if you don't intend to make any more videos about k1 visas or even help them, then the least you can do is to announce that you are no longer working with k1 visa applications so they won't waste their time considering you or watching your videos. You are not the only immigration person I have replied to about this issue on CZcams. I am just trying to politely ask you to tell k1 visa applicants that you are no longer able to help them if that is the case.
Fiancee visas are still alive and well. And still a major percentage of the cases I assist. Don't read too much into my recent postings being on spouse visas. While they may not be of interest to you, I do have an audience that is interested in that path too.
@@Visacoach it would be nice if you would do some videos about the k1 visa updates if you are claiming that they are still a major percentage of your cases. And you say not to read too much into your recent postings about spouse visas. What are people supposed to think when this is all you have been talking about for the past few months Fred?? You have said nothing about k1 visas for several months now. How about at least act like you care and start doing some postings on the k1 visa process and try and get some updates. Is this too much to ask for you?? K1 visa applicants are getting screwed right now and it would be nice if you post some stuff to show that you give a crap. You stated that fiancée visas are alive and well. At this point I will strongly disagree with you about that.
I note that you have hired a lawyer to guide you. That means you are actively financially supporting a competitor, and at the same whining that I do not provide you personally enough free advice. Wow !!
@@Visacoach I will first say that my fiancee and I are having problems and there is a possibility that I will be calling the process off very shortly. 2nd, counting my lawyer, I personally don't think any of you k1 visa people are worth anything. I have been getting more advice from visajourney than my lawyer and you combined. But again I will probably be calling off my engagement very soon because my fiancee is playing games and I will not go through with that. So I will not be engaging any more advice from anyone. But say what you want about me. I have noticed that it took me and others to get on you about the k1 visa process to make you finally do another video. So you are not exactly in a position to be putting anyone down either visa coach. But I have said what I wanted and I'm done with you so have a good day and continue with your games with someone else. I'm not playing them anymore and you don't need to reply back.
As always your videos are very informative me and my wife are just waiting on the consulate and got it to come up with the interview date thank you again for all you do for all your clients
Very welcome !!
These videos really helped me with my wife's case 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you 😊
You are welcome !!
1. Prove you are lawfully married
2. Consummated the marriage, being together
3. You too truly want to spend your lives together. Convince a stranger to believe
4. You must be lawful US citizen
5. Your income exceeds 125% of poverty level of where you live
6. You’ve not been convicted of certain crimes
7. Your foreign spouse is of good moral character
8. Your foreign spouse have not seriously violated US immigration laws
9. Your foreign spouse has a valid passport for travel
10. Your foreign spouse passes the medical
Your list is close, but not 100%. But thanks for contributing
Dear Mr Whal thank you for all you do. We have decided (we are 55 yr olds me British UK. He, my sponsor & military resident of America) have decided to go down the cr1 route rather than k1.

The main plus for CR1 I believe is that hopefully it will allow him to be by my side always, through the whole process (interview/medical/documents all within USA only). This is truly helpful. Thank you Sir.
You can marry during a visit. You should respect the terms of the visa or visa waiver you traveled on. This normally means returning to home country, newly married or not.
Thanks for your advises

Hey love your videos! How important is my sponsor's Certificate of Citizenship number for an affidavit of support (I-134)? They have lost it and it would cost $500+ to replace just to see that number. Thank you so much in advance if you answer!
Probably ok without.
Hi sir! We had a proxy marriage in state of Montana last January 8,2022 and we already got a marriage certificate. We have a proof of consummated marriage.We were planning to file for USCIS for CR1. May I ask what should be the possible needed requirements? Thank you so much
When I work with my clients the first step is to get to know the full details of their situation. Then based on that I prepare a personalized checklist from them of all the documents and evidence that based on my experience we want to put on the consular officers desk on the day of the interview to convince the officer of the couples bona fides.
thank you sir for the amazing info!
can i know how much do we need to wait in order to file for a CR1 visa after withdrawing our previous K1 visa?
You can apply immediately once the ceremony has taken place, the couple has met in-person, and the ink has dried on the marriage certificate,
100% love good job
Thanks !!

Unknown. But certainly worthwhile to chase NVC for their action.
Hi Sir! I'll be marrying a US resident. Should we wait for him to become a citizen before we apply for petition or we can apply right away after marriage and update our status once he became Citizen? He will be citizen after less than a year of our marriage.
Your second plan, marry apply now, become US citizen and upgrade the case is the fastest way to get your visa. Good luck.

Provide full details to the attorney or consultant who is working on your case.
hello coach,
i have a question, should my US citizen husband continue to pay taxes even if he moved to foreign country to live and work in his wife's country?
A US Citizen is responsible to file Federal taxes on his worldwide income.
We have submitted all the documents to NVC and their status is showing like accepted.
But our case is just below on financial aspect and they said the councilor officer will make decision on the time of interview regarding this. And secondly they asked for some addition documents like source of income.

A lawful marriage, regardless of venue is acceptable to US immigration.

@@Visacoach tnkyou so much 🤲🙏 sir
What if the foreign spouse violated immigration laws by overstaying F1 visa?
Overstaying comes with a 3 year, 10 year or lifetime ban from returning to the USA. In such a case I suggest you contact an experienced immigration attorney for assistance.
Hello sir! Can i ask how long does it take for cr1 visa processing time right now?
For most cases about 18 to 20 months average
I have a question. My wife and I got married online. We have a marriage license from the state of Utah. I have also went and visited and consummated the marriage. We have an abundance of pictures to prove we are together. I have gathered all documents. I have sent the ROM to Philippines consulate in San Francisco. Filipino visa has a copy of our marriage license. But says we have to wait and get a marriage contract from PSA after ROM is filed? Is that true? I have heard it could take a year before it’s available from PSA. Wish I had known about you before hiring them.
If "Filipino Visa" is working for you, they are the best source of current information on submission of your case.

HI after getting married to us citizens can I still apply for a tourist visa?
You can apply for a tourist visa at any time.
Hi i am an indian and last year i got married in vancouver canada to a US green card holder we were in relationship we have a court marriage certificate i am in india now to apply a spouse visa do we need a traditional marriage in india?people say at the time of interview we need traditional marriage photographs
To be successful US immigration must be convinced that your relationship is "bona fide" not a sham for immigration purposes. The closer your case follows cultural norms and expectations the more likely the visa will be granted.
I am a U.S. citizen trying to marry my future wife. I have been out of U.S. for about a year and I was unemployed for another year prior to that hence my income will not exceed the poverty level. I have money, stocks etc with 10+ years of history. Would that work? Any ideas?
Current income, home equity and/or cash assets can be used to demonstrate financial eligibility. Providing you have "enough" and back it up with evidence, any of the above can work independently or combined. If you want me to review your financial situation in depth and provide advice, I can do so. Order 30 minutes of my time and advice. Details at www.visacoach.com/one-to-one/
Can I petition for my huband on cr1 visa category? I am lawful permanent resident. We have been married for 2 months now. Someone said I cant apply for my husband on cr1 visa 💔😔
Yes, you can apply for a spouse visa. By the time it is granted your marriage will be well over 2 years old, so the visa that will be issued is the IR1
Do the spouse need any educational certificate in this whole process?
None at this time
How is your foreign spouse going to already have a US passport? That is confusing lol
An Alien Spouse who marries an American and is a lawful permanent resident in the USA (still married to the same American) is eligible to apply for US citizenship. If Citizenship is granted, the alien becomes a US citizen and can apply for a US passport.
when did the covid vaccine become mandated for visa approval?
November 2021
@@Visacoach I see but noticed they do allow for religious exemption on appeal
Correct, exemptions are made as appropriate..

You can apply as soon as the ink on your marriage certificate is dry.
Thank you
Welcome !!
Sir spouse are eligible for us after intermediate education
Education level of the beneficiary is not considered when applying for marriage based immigration.
How long is cr1 visa processing time right now?
Most will probably take around 18 months.
Hello mam,, how long ur case is taking,, u applied as us citizen?
kindly reply
My partner is visiting me on an ESTA and just proposed to me on my birthday. Can my fiance marry me while he is visiting USA on his ESTA? He still plans to leave at the end of his ESTA and go back to his home country, and we will then file for a CR1 VISA while he is back in Iceland. He will take those 2 years to focus on settling his personal belongings and working. Would this be legal and successful? Or, do we need to marry out of the country and THEN file for a CR1 VISA? We had no intent to marry upon his visit, but we don't want to seem shady to the government...
Your plans are fine. He can certainly marry you in USA during his visit. The "key" issue is that he does not plan to overstay, instead he plans to leave and then apply for the CR1 visa. Me and my wife Joyce did exactly that. We came to USA for the holidays, invited my family to meet us in Las Vegas, we got married, celebrated with them, then after the honeymoon returned to Hong Kong, and eventually applied for the spouse visa.

Please overlook my weird username visa coach. I’m not here for myself but for a friend who doesn’t have a CZcams account. This question is referring to the k1 visa process so it’s different than the subject of this video. Here is the question, does the Manila embassy in the Philippines contact the petitioner as well as the beneficiary to schedule the interview for the k1 visa process or do either of them have to schedule the interview for themselves? My friend that I spoke of is receiving conflicting information from other sources and he is confused about this. Also he told me that the Manila embassy does not have his fiancée email or phone number because the initial paperwork did not request it. But he just recently received an email from the nvc that his k1 application is being sent to the Manila embassy and he wants to find out this information before things start rolling. Any information you can give me to pass to him will be appreciated visa coach. And again I apologize for my weird username.
The petitioner and/or beneficiary for fiance visa schedule the interview. The consulate might contact them via email, but often the NVC letter is the only notice they get. If your friend needs help, ask her/him to hire professional assistance, such as that which is provided by me.
Good day visa coach me and my boyfriend are 28 years apart in age will that a red flag filing for the spousal Visa
A material age difference is a red flag. My service to help is always valuable. However in circumstances of red flags it is invaluable, ie: essential.
Thank you for reply will contact when I'm ready to file
You are welcome. I will standby.
👆👆I truly feel like being single now, is actually a sign that we are choosing to do the work. Rather than get in a relationship broken and toxic expecting others to love the parts of us, that we don't even love.
Being single for me is intentional and the struggle is fighting my default of thinking I need to be in relationship or something is wrong . I've never been so happy with myself in my entire life as I've been these last 2.5 years of my single season, Wasn't funny when i saw all her text messages and logs, thanks to savvy pentsters for shedding light to what wasn't cleared at first
Hey visa coach, I'm going to ask this as politely as I can. Are you still working with k1 visas or have you completely decided to kick k1 visa applicants to the back burner? I am asking you this because your last couple of videos have been all about helping with spousel visas and for those who are already married. But it honestly appears that you have totally forgotten about and disregarded the k1 visa applicants. Again I am trying my best to be polite with you about this due to the fact that most embassies and most immigration agencies have totally stopped working with k1 visas because of the covid epidemic. Just remember visa coach, we didn't cause the covid epidemic and we didn't ask for it to happen. I personally have not used your services as I already have a lawyer but my point is that I seriously think that if you don't intend to make any more videos about k1 visas or even help them, then the least you can do is to announce that you are no longer working with k1 visa applications so they won't waste their time considering you or watching your videos. You are not the only immigration person I have replied to about this issue on CZcams. I am just trying to politely ask you to tell k1 visa applicants that you are no longer able to help them if that is the case.
Fiancee visas are still alive and well. And still a major percentage of the cases I assist. Don't read too much into my recent postings being on spouse visas. While they may not be of interest to you, I do have an audience that is interested in that path too.
@@Visacoach it would be nice if you would do some videos about the k1 visa updates if you are claiming that they are still a major percentage of your cases. And you say not to read too much into your recent postings about spouse visas. What are people supposed to think when this is all you have been talking about for the past few months Fred?? You have said nothing about k1 visas for several months now. How about at least act like you care and start doing some postings on the k1 visa process and try and get some updates. Is this too much to ask for you?? K1 visa applicants are getting screwed right now and it would be nice if you post some stuff to show that you give a crap. You stated that fiancée visas are alive and well. At this point I will strongly disagree with you about that.
I note that you have hired a lawyer to guide you. That means you are actively financially supporting a competitor, and at the same whining that I do not provide you personally enough free advice. Wow !!
@@Visacoach I will first say that my fiancee and I are having problems and there is a possibility that I will be calling the process off very shortly. 2nd, counting my lawyer, I personally don't think any of you k1 visa people are worth anything. I have been getting more advice from visajourney than my lawyer and you combined. But again I will probably be calling off my engagement very soon because my fiancee is playing games and I will not go through with that. So I will not be engaging any more advice from anyone. But say what you want about me. I have noticed that it took me and others to get on you about the k1 visa process to make you finally do another video. So you are not exactly in a position to be putting anyone down either visa coach. But I have said what I wanted and I'm done with you so have a good day and continue with your games with someone else. I'm not playing them anymore and you don't need to reply back.
I am sure there is a place to find help to discuss your relationship issues. However it is not here. Good luck.
