K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp! How do I pay my I-129F from abroad??

Quite a few people send their packet to a friend or relative in the US. The friend or relative inserts in a personal check for the fees.

and mails the whole packet to USCIS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp! Applying for K-1 Visa

Hello, 

 

I apologize in advance, im pretty sure that there have been similar threads- I have look around and read multiple threads concerning the whole K-1 Visa process but im a little bit lost, as of the order of what forms to send first or which forms do i need for my specific situation. 

 

Now i have been reading the Step-by-Step guide to file for a K-1 Visa, but im still unsure or unclear on some of the step. First i know i get a money order and attach it to the I-129F form with a cover letter  an attachment for the question: Part 2 34.a. After that bit is where im confuse. Im unsure as if i just send that and wait for any other documents they ask me to provide or is there anything else i need to include in that initial package? Or is it that i have to send all those forms filled up and the evidence in that initial package? Include all of the forms/documents mentioned in the "Assembling the I-129F Package:Checklist" box of the VJ K-1 Visa Guide.

 

My confusion comes from the different sources of information i have been reading from, and the USCIS itself that doesn't mention anything else is needed other than the I-129F form. If Anyone could help me clarify would be much welcome. The Form I-129F instructions specifically state what is required. The VJ K-1 Guide gives more specific details.

 

I also have another question, I'm in the Navy currently on my C school and i am approaching the time for my first duty station. And im sure there will be time i wont be able to respond to some of the mail or calls of USCIS because either i am deployed or other duties. Is there a way that my fiance could push forward the paperwork while im at sea or anything along those lines? Become acquainted with the Military-Related Immigration Forum.

My stepson was able to start his college studies at the local community college within two weeks of his arrival to the US. The first quarter (fall quarter) we paid non-resident tuition.

Become acquainted with and work with the financial aids office at the particular college, they were invaluable in helping navigate through the process.  Check out the link I previously provided for details.

Welcome to the forum.

 

A lot depends on the admission policy and residency requirements at the particular college/university the child will attend. 

 

We found it much cheaper and easier to establish residency as soon as possible.

There is a lot of information at that thread that should be useful for you. Use the forum's search function to find more.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to pay the K-1 Filing fee abroad?

Welcome to the forum.

 

The payment scheme that seems to work for folks similarly situated as yourself, is to send your completed petition packet to a parent or sibling, etc.  stateside, have them insert a personal check for the amount of the fee, drawn on a US bank, into the packet and mail it (return receipt requested/delivery confirmation) on to the Lewisville, TX lockbox. We have used USPS for all of our USCIS submissions, YMMV.  They work out the debt settlement privately.

 

Good luck on your visa journey.

I read in this forum about changed (Change Alien Registration number) which is usually 1-3 days after nov1 email notification.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs this case straightforward enough or do I need a lawyer?

Thanks again for your replies!

 

I tried to post this question in another topic but I guess it's not allowed - if we do decide to go with a lawyer, is it better to use an immigration attorney or go with one of the visa services like Visapro, Visaservice etc.?

 

Although I see that almost everyone says that we just do it ourselves, so we're still deciding what to do.
