The majority of folks at this site have straight-forward immigration issues. If your case is complex, you should consider retaining the services of an immigration attorney to assist you in the process.     Good luck on your visa journey.	A&B	Male	China	2014-03-19 16:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Does the form I-134 need to be notarized?	Commonly asked question, refer to page 1, Execution of Affidavit, of the I-134 instructions for specific info:   http://www.uscis.gov.../i-134instr.pdf	A&B	Male	China	2014-03-22 21:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	certified copy or photocopy?	The foreign fiance(e) is the one applying for the K-1 visa and they are the one whose documents will be most important at that time. They will need their birth certificate for the interview. You would need to contact the consulate in Australia directly and ask them if they require an original of the USC petitioner's birth certificate or if a copy will suffice. Since your info will already be in their case file, they may not even ask for the USC petitioner's documents again. Different consulates have different procedures and requirements.     Nothing gets sent to the NVC for a K-1, so no need to worry about that one.   Some consualtes send out packets with instructions and forms to send back to them or bring with you to the K-1 visa interview. The consulate can ask to see an original of any document you provided a copy of, but does not mean they will absolutely ask to see the original. You do not have to give them your original. They can keep a copy for their file.	A&B	Male	China	2014-03-24 01:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I129F Possible Mistake Awaiting Possible RFE!!!!!!!!!	What I ended up doing was getting a copy of the legal record from the respective states.  Fortunately, the states where I have lived have this service available. A simple Google search will likely yield some good hits. YMMV. For example, here is the one for Oregon: https://public.healt...ages/index.aspx   It costs a couple of bucks, usually one page. I got a couple of extra copies, since there is often a discount for additional copies obtained at the same time.    To the one poster that didn't get an RFE at the K-1 process, you dodged that one. Maybe you will get lucky again???    At the AOS interview, I was asked by the IO to produce, for inspection, ALL of my divorce decrees. Thankfully, I was prepared and could easily provide them, as opposed to having a probable AOS approval delay and likely RFE for not having ALL of them. YMMV.   Good luck on your visa journey.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I129F Possible Mistake Awaiting Possible RFE!!!!!!!!!	Divorce information is required in regard to all previous marriages.   Most then likely you will get an RFE, you won't know until they actually get to your file and start processing it... until be prepared and have copies the complete divorce decree for each ready.      Do not sent the divorce decrees until USCIS sends the RFE.
