Please review the Form I-129F instructions, Page 5, #7, and see if your current circumstances meet with the requirements of the the K-1 visa process. If so, you are good to go. If not, make arrangements to meet soon and save all manner of evidence as described in the instructions and VJ Guides.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 & K2 Questions

Your concern is quite understandable. There is a dearth of information about the K-1 derivative visa process. The Department of State (DOS) FAQs give a good overview of what you have to do to get the K-2 ball rolling. The forms, fees, medical, interview, etc. at the consulate/embassy phase is the time when there is some action necessary for the K-2, and is described adequately in the DOS FAQs. That is not surprising since that portion of the K-1/-2 visa process is handled by the DOS. When you get to the consulate/embassy interview, be sure to check for specific K-2 requirements that are unique to that consulate/embassy, they can have subtle differences. 

 

Additionally, there is some very good K-2 information available on this site. All is available through the site's Google custom search function.

 

Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129f / K-1 Packet - PLEASE HELP, SO CONFUSED :(

What's FC-029?

 

Birth Certificate of the Petitioner only if US born and entire pages of your valid passport. If naturalized, copy of Certificate of Naturalization and entire pages of your valid passport. 

 

Affidavit of Support is only needed with DS forms with approved I-129F during the interview

 

Good luck on your journey! 

 

FC-029 is an old vestige form from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) days. Similar verbiage of the old form is expressed in the VJ Forum's Cover Letter for I-129F example. It is the statement at the bottom of the cover letter speaking about the use and intent of photocopies. If you use the VJ Cover Letter example as a template, you should be okay.

I have opted to utilize tax transcripts in all of my pertinent application submissions associated with this immigration journey, and have had no issues. They are from the IRS (government), free, less paper, and easy to obtain. It usually has taken about 10 days for delivery by mail after online request submission.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew Forms Required for K1-Visa

As is mentioned in the previously mentioned DOS news brief:

 

 

 

These forms replace the paper DS-230 and DS-3032. The National Visa Center (NVC) may instruct some applicants who previously submitted Form DS-230 to submit Form DS-260.

 

It seems DOS is rolling this out to all foreign service outposts as we speak. There have been some recent forum posts indicating DOS outposts requesting DS-260 submission. Check some recent forum threads for details.

 

YMMV

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I marry my fiance in Cambodia first with an approved K-1 Fiance Visa?

No, if you have an approved K-1 visa, the fiancé must first marry the fiancée in the USA within 90 days of USA arrival. You can go back to your home country and have a ceremony afterwards

 

Check out the certification statement of the official USCIS I-129F petition for details:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarriage timing

Check with your local governing authority, state, county, local, and inquire about specific marriage requirements.

 

For example, here in Washington state, you can purchase the marriage license, but there is a three-day waiting period before you can get married. Check out our signature line for specific details.

 

Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting married in the U.S. but going back to Brazil

Hello,

 

I was hoping someone would have an answer to my question. You actually asked more than one question. smile.png  It is really important for me for my fiance to meet my family before we get married. We would like to get married here and then live in Rio. Does us getting married here tie him down to this country? Yes, he will have to live here for some time, read more for details.  Do we HAVE TO fill out the paper work for the green card soon after or can we worry about that when we decide to come back and live here? With the K-1 you have to marry in the US within 90 days of arrival, apply for AOS,  and then cannot leave until either the Advanced Parole (AP) card or Green Card (AP) is approved. Again, read more for details.  Can I process that paper work from abroad? There are appointments to be kept for AOS processing. Due to other personal reasons my fiance can not leave Rio for too long and I really want to go back and live out there as well.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

The majority of folks who apply for GC through the K-1 process have the intention of living in the US. From your situation, as you describe, why not just get married in Brazil and apply for spousal visa? This is a DIY site, you are asking for the "Cliff-note" version of a very complex process. Consider doing more research and reading, including the Guides (accessible at the top of the forum page).

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.
