Some key points, a person convicted of an assault offense, abuse, sex crime, (there was several listed) and if you filed 2 K1 visa applications and neither worked out then you would have to wait two from the approval date of your second K1 to file again. I am in favor of this bill, this will cut down on the odd balls who file for K1s and bring a girl to the US and make her life misserable, I know alot of guys are against this but I say it's about time, this may also hurt the agencies as fewer guys would travle here to meet girls, ( I say here meaning Ukraine, I live in Ukraine and own my flat) the bottem line, if you've never been convicted of a violent offence or sex charge, nothing to worry about. jetmba.

If so - there is nocurrent equivalent passed by the Senate - so the bill is in no way ready to be signed by President (not Governor) Bush. If you are refering to another law please advise. If you are accurate AT ALL in your description - a bigger concern to me anyway, woud be the event of two failed K1s. Since one already did not work out. I have no concern abvout people convicted of a crime - violent or sexual - since that does not apply to me. Mindwire Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/22/2005 8:45:53 PM   From what I read, EH-4437 applies to the convictions of the person entering the country. And only for crimes such as Murder, Manslaughter, Rape, and sex crimes with a minor. Sounds like a pretty good plan. There are quite a few good ideas in this legislation, but I didn't see anything that would prohibit someone with a criminal record from getting a K-1... Maybe it needs more fine tuning....? ================================================================ ======================== SEC. 613. STRENGTHENING DEFINITIONS OF `AGGRAVATED FELONY' AND `CONVICTION'. (a) In General- Section 101(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)) is amended-- (1) by amending subparagraph (A) of paragraph (43) to read as follows: `(A) murder, manslaughter, homicide, rape, or any sexual abuse of a minor, whether or not the minority of the victim is established by evidence contained in the record of conviction or by evidence extrinsic to the record of conviction;'; and (2) in paragraph (48)(A), by inserting after and below clause (ii) the following: `Any reversal, vacatur, expungement, or modification to a conviction, sentence, or conviction record that was granted to ameliorate the consequences of the conviction, sentence, or conviction record, or was granted for rehabilitative purposes, or for failure to advise the alien of the immigration consequences of a guilty plea or a determination of guilt, shall have no effect on the immigration consequences resulting from the original conviction. The alien shall have the burden of demonstrating that the reversal, vacatur, expungement, or modification was not granted to ameliorate the consequences of the conviction, sentence, or conviction record, for rehabilitative purposes, or for failure to advise the alien of the immigration consequences of a guilty plea or a determination of guilt.'. (b) Effective Date- The amendments made by subsection (a) shall apply to any act that occurred before, on, or after the date of the enactment of this Act and shall apply to any matter under the immigration laws pending on, or filed on or after, such date.

Doesn't look like it would keep the average criminal from submitting a K-1.... looks like it's aimed at marriage agencies. Whether it's practical to put the burden on agencies is the question I think. Looks to me like it's aimed at getting rid of marriage agencies with the stiff penalties and "wide-open" terminology that would allow State Attorneys General to file suit against agencies for the actions of their clients. If this passes through, the international dating-game might require a whole lot of background info before getting a profile published........

Interesting, seems like our legislators need something to do. Mind your last post pretty much covers all the requirements needed to acquire a K1 Visa for your fiance. Must have been a slow week in Washington. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/23/2005 7:32:21 AM   I've always maintained that one of the probelms with our democracy is that when we send legislators to Washington, our state capitals, our county seats or even to our city councils, they feel obligated to do SOMETHING - ANYTHING to let the folks back home know that they didn't waste their vote. REDUCING ridiculous and redundant laws would certainly fit the bill, but there is no glory in that. They need to find some area to throw a new law at - or some untaxed THING to tax. MAINTAINING the course, while less preferable than reducing the legal burden, would be better than passing some ridiculous law just to let the folks back home know that they've been working. And then after a while, when it seems that the pet legislation gets old - they find a pork project - usually an unneeded building or facility, which may or maynot be name after them - as a permanent memorial to themselves and the fact that they held elected office.
