K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Our plan. Good or bad?	You have to remain unmarried until your fiance enters the US with the K1 visa inside their passport.  Then you can get married - and have to within 90 days of them entering the US.   As a rule of thumb, the non-US person generally has to spend more time out of the US than in it.  So 2 weeks in the US followed by 3 weeks out of the US might work.  However, expect more scrutiny by CBP.  If you resign from your job, then that is a tie gone from Canada and it may make it more difficult to get in.   We have all been where you are.  We all hate being separated from our loved ones.  But it will be worth it in the long run.

It helps folks make proper responses pertinent to your specific step in the visa process.   For example: Your visa petition has been approved? You have had your visa interview and been approved?    Should you decide to get married, or if the immigration folks learn of you processing a marriage license you may be deemed ineligible for the fiancee visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	i129f question about fiance children	i think it good you include her in the i 128f, even though you don't plan for her to join you now , but it will save you a lot in future the only thing t=you need to include is jus the child's birth certificate.     The children of the K-1 visa beneficiary need only be listed, as indicated, on the initial I-129F petition. The children's birth certificates do NOT need to be included at this point in the K-1 visa process. Those documents will be needed later on in the process at the embassy/consulate phase.   http://www.uscis.gov...i-129finstr.pdf   http://travel.state....types_2994.html Edited by A&B, 17 August 2013 - 01:36 PM.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-134 supporting Documents	Welcome to the forum.   In particular, the step-by-step K-1 visa guide. It says it best about what to send to the fiancé(e) after NOA2 petition approval, refer to #4 and #5 and the associated FAQs for more information:   "What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):  1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one). 2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy. 3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F). 4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all. 5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form. 6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail. 7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now). Examples: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate emails and letters you have sent including the stamps on envelopes (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)"     It helps everyone that uses the forum.   Good luck on your visa journey.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can you sign the checklist in the US?	Welcome to the forum.   It helps everyone that uses the forum. It enables other members to formulate appropriate responses relative to your immigration situation. It will also enable VJ to give an estimated NOA2 date. Although that may be a a bit off, due to the VSC to TSC transfer you already mentioned.   It is good to be prepared for the next step. However, keep in mind to not give the CO at the interview "stale" documents that may result in RFEs or other delays. Follow the time-tested VJ step-by-step K-1 visa guide for details:   http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide   The K-1 Flowchart is also quite useful:   http://www.visajourn.../content/k1flow   Follow the instructions for Form I-134 for details necessary for the employer's letter:   http://www.uscis.gov.../i-134instr.pdf   Good luck on your visa journey.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Photos	Welcome to the forum.   In particular, the step-by-step K-1 visa guide says it best:   "Documentary Proof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years and an Ongoing Relationship: Use as many of these items are possible. There is no minimum, but the more you can provide the less likely you are that you will receive an RFE. Additionally, please note that providing proof of your ongoing and genuine relationship in this package may benefit you by allowing the consulate to have access to this information prior to them formally contacting the non US Citizen fiance. Many high risk consulates approach cases with a skeptical eye and providing this information early on in the original I-129F package will help them in their preliminary review of your case.  1. Copies of all airline boarding passes, train passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, passport stamps (make sure you can read the dates on the stamps), and other documentary evidence that you have met within the last two years. You may want to highlight or place post-it notes indicating the dates and locations on the copies (to make the adjudication easier) for the person reviewing your file. 2. Color Photo's of you and your fiance(e) together. Make sure you write your names, date, and location on the back of every photo. Provide two to five photo's. If you only have a single copy of the photo, then make a color copy and send that. If it is a digital photo, have it printed at a local photo store such as Walgreens. Place photo's in a plastic bag or photo sheet and label the sheet. Note that you may not receive originals of photo's back. 3. The following items will not typically show proof of having met in the last two years however will show proof of an ongoing relationship: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate letters and emails, stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)"       Maybe you have enough relationship evidence, it all depends on the perception of the USCIS adjudicator. The prudent advice is to send a reasonable blend of all of the types of evidence. Copies of itineraries and copies of passport stamp pages are good things to include (usually along with other evidence). Since your timeline is a bit scant, it is hard to tell the exact embassy/consulate (Armenia?) where the interview will occur. For example, such as the one we went through, Guangzhou, it is generally recommended that the petitioner "front-load" the initial petition filing with as much evidence as possible. For others, usually not necessary.   Good luck on your visa journey. Edited by A&B, 18 August 2013 - 09:31 PM.	A&B	Male	China	2013-08-18 21:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Presence of Petitioner for the Interview	Welcome to the forum.   Check out the Nigerian embassy info page for more information about USC attendance:   http://www.visajourn...geria&cty=Lagos   BTW, Per Guangzhou consulate policy, I was not able to attend my wife and stepson's visa interview last year, but I did go to provide help and emotional support. I felt that it was very important for be to be there at that special moment in our relationship.  I was able to make the CO aware of my presence, take a look at my consulate interview review for details. Not sure if that is doable for you.   Good luck on your immigration journey.	A&B	Male	China	2013-08-17 10:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Forms for K1 at POE	I believe the I-94 is handed out on the plane, filled out and handed to the CBP officer at inspection. They write your A# on it, tear off a piece that is stapled in your passport. That piece is then turned in at your AOS interview, if you have one. That is how it worked for us last year at POE LAX.   That is correct, that is how it WAS done LAST year. As mentioned in the previous posted responses, the CBP has recently automated the I-94 process at POEs.   Reference: http://cbp.gov/xp/cg...4_instructions/ Edited by A&B, 23 August 2013 - 11:52 AM.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	birth certificate of US citizen	There is no need to duplicate your question from your previous inquiry.   http://www.visajourn...rview-question/   ---same answer:   Look at the fiancee visa process, first the USC sends in the I-129F petition with their documentation affirming the claims made by the USC on the petition.  The USC's documentation is examined and initial investigations of the USC are done. If the petition is approved, the approved petition is sent to the NVC, more verification. At the interview phase, it is now the time for the visa beneficiary to fill out applications and provide documentation affirming their claims made on the visa application. More reviews, and hopefully results in a successful interview and issuing of a K-1 visa.   Good luck.	A&B	Male	China	2013-08-25 12:32:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 question	Welcome to the forum.   Depending on your fiancee's country, you may need a visa and your US passport to visit her in her country. However, such travel will not present any issue as far as an ongoing K-1 process. Additionally, that travel can be used as further evidence of a genuine relationship. I was fortunate enough to be have visited my then-fiancee three times while waiting for the slow USCIS/DOS bureaucracy to do its thing.    Sorry, your next question is a bit obtuse. If you file for a K-1 visa for your fiancee, then marry her prior to the completion of the K-1 process, you will then be ineligible for the fiancee visa and will have to start over with a spousal visa.   Good luck.
