I am Fred Wahl, the VisaCoach, I am known for the personal one-on-one relationship
that WE share, (thats you, me and your partner), as WE work together, as a TEAM, to
overcome the many challenges of immigration,

Alone, its too easy for you to make mistakes that cause tears, delays and expensive denials.
Do Pick up the Phone and speak with me directly, so that, you and I,can get
to know each other.
This is the free consultation I talk about later.
If we are compatible, thats the beginning of our beautiful relationship
to get you the immigration approvals you need.
This is what two of my clients Jim and Kareny, had to say:
Karen comes from the Philippines and I helped her get her Fiance visa
even though they had not met face to face, prior to her
arrival to the USA on her K1 visa.
I first wish to thank Fred for his dedication to helping couples like us successfully
complete the K1 Visa process.
Our situation was particularly challenging as we had the ultimate "red flag" of not
meeting the face to face requirement as well as others..
We followed his lead and carried out the numerous actions to provide evidences
to show a true relationship and very quickly found ourselves Approved at the first step
with USCIS.
This is a nerve racking process, but having Fred's custom web pages for us
both to be on the same page as my Fiancee, and knowing in clear language what to do next
made all the difference!
Karen, felt nervous but also prepared for her Embassy Interview and after providing
documents and answers to the pre-screeners, moved to
an interviewer who had already denied 2 women.
He asked only 3 questions, and paid special attention to the thick book of evidences she
had brought.
He then stated simply "Everything is in order" and we are now waiting for the Visa to be
delivered to her residence.
Now, lets talk about getting a Waiver from the K1 Fiance Visa Face to Face Meeting Requirement?
One of the eligibility requirements for a fiance visa is the "two year rule" which states.
"the couple must have met in-person within the two years immediately preceding
the filing date of the petition within the two years immediately preceding the filing
date"
To be considered eligible, a couple MUST have actually met each other, in-person,
face to face.
This literally means being in the same space, breathing the same air.
Video chats, facetime, google hangouts, telephone calls are not considered in-person, face to
face.
The rule does not refer to how long the couple has known each other, it only refers
to meeting, in-person, face to face.
The most RECENT face to face meeting should have
\occurred no LONGER than 2 years ago.
There are two exceptions to the Face to Face eligibility requirement.
If the couple hasn't met, but the exception applies to
them, the couple may request US immigration to WAIVE the requirement and allow the couple's
case to proceed to the consulate interview without the recent face to face meeting.
The first allowable reason that USCIS will Waive the requirement is:
"The requirement to meet the fiancée in person would violate strict and long-established
customs of the sponsors or fiancées culture or social practice"
What this means is that if the couple's culture or religion prevents them from
meeting prior to the wedding, then the waiver request is valid.
But this is not about being allowed to date.
It does not matter if the couple is allowed to date or not.
This is all about, at minimum, a single, face to face meeting.
If a face to face meeting COULD occur, for example if the couple
could be allowed meet if chaperones were present, then the couple would not be
eligible for a waiver.
So far, I have never met a couple who were not allowed to
have at least, a chaperoned face to face meeting.
The second exemption is:
"It is established that the requirement to personally meet, would result in extreme hardship"
What is "extreme hardship"?
Well let's start with what it is not.
It's not being too busy at work, unable to find a baby sitter, hating to fly,
or wanting to avoid the cost of travel.
Basically, it comes down to a solid "impossibility" to travel.
If, the doctor says you are not healthy enough to travel, or the
passport agency refuses to issue you a passport, you have a valid reason for the
waiver to be granted.
Requests to waive the meeting requirement are rarely approved.
Only the most well documented cases of religious or social customs,
or total inability to travel stand a chance
For example, in Jim's case: He made the testimonial I read at the start of
this video.
He suffers an ailment that makes it impossible to travel.
When we applied for the fiance visa, we requested
a waiver to the Face to Face meeting requirement and included solid medical evidences
and doctor's statements to clearly demonstrate his situation.
His waiver request was granted, and subsequently his fiance's visa granted as
well.
Robert also came to me.
He was divorced, and had paid his child support directly to his ex-wife.
As social services wasn't involved in the payments,
they refused to believe his or his ex-wifes statements that the monies had been paid,
and wanted to double charge him to pay a second time.
During 4 years of court battles, Social services applied extra leverage against
Robert by asking the US passport agency to deny issuing him a passport.
He was honest, he had paid his alimony, but with no passport he was unable to
travel to have the face to face meeting with his fiance that he desperately desired.
When we applied for his fiance visa, we requested a waiver and told his story,
including court records and correspondence evidences to prove his situation.
His waiver request was granted, and subsequently his fiance's visa granted as well.
It's not easy to get a waiver from the face to face meeting.
But if you have a valid reason, I can help.
So far all the cases I have worked on that included waiver requests have been granted
by USCIS.
