K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDenied I-129f even though I withdrew first application

I don't think K-1 visa is faster than CR-1 Visa.  The chance to get approved on CR-1 is higher, so you better off go with CR-1 visa! Just my opinion!

 

Wishes the best of luck!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresBirth Certificate question

I don't think there is issue because the time you submitted is valid! My suggestion to you is consult with the First Consultant Group in California office.  I got my daughter's birth abroad and her US passport with little cost but less headache for you! They also have office in Ho Chi Minh city that can help your wife to gather document in Viet Nam. You can contact them at V?N PHÒNG T?I MI?N NAM CALIFORNIA

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIncome taxes with spouse abroad

I did ran into this situation this year income tax return few moth ago!  I was applied ITIN for my wife and my daughter! I did followed W-7 instruction for ITIN application!  I end up delay my paper work for my wife interview because I could get tax return for 2012 into IRS system!

Instruction ask to submit passport for my wife which issue by Vietnam's government! 

For my daughter only 5 months at the time! They said I can submit civil's birth certificate and hospital record!

I wait for 6 weeks later they send letter saying that it doesn't meet IRS Criteria! I have to recognize by the Depart of State Which is impossible unless the Visa had approved!

I end up file married/file separate! 

For my wife social security, I put NRA in social security column and got accepted!

 

You can try to apply for ITIN Form W-7!

 

Wish Best Of Luck!

I believe I have unwittingly walked into a bit of an "inside joke", if you will. 

 

So in that case it appears the joke is on me.  LOL

Indeed.  Then by all means carry on! 

 

It is, at the very least, entertaining.

I don't understand why someone feels the need to get a "W" and give an "L" to another in an internet quasi-argument.  Seems a bit childish to me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNail Biting... argh

 

it could be as simple as not ticking a box or forgotten signature. i checked my petition 10 times++ but i wouldnt doubt if they said i overlooked a question. the excitement and worries of filing makes us bleh. hehe. dont worry, you will get the noa2 very very soon. at least you know your petition wasnt lost or overlooked. the relief (before the new waiting game) is just around the corner

 

Yep!  I thought I had mine all buttoned up and had no clue what mine was going to be for...

 

Ended up I got my RFE because I did not put "N/A" on the lines for listing previous spouses.  Simple fix.  Put in the "N/A"s and sent back in.  Been a week now, so hopefully I will get approval soon.

Same here! Checked the USCIS site and it now says "On September 3, 2013, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)."

 

Bummed at getting and RFE, but excited to see my petition has been touched!  Excited and apprehensive too see what they need...

 

Got the RFE hard copy today, and it is good news!  I need to respond to question #10 on the I-129F, which concerns previous spouses for both of us.  I left them blank since we are both single, never married.  All I need to do is put some N/As in the blanks and send it back.  About as "best case scenario" for an RFE as there is!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 K-1 Visa Filers

YaaaY we got touched!
Boooo we got a RFE but I guess we have to wait to get the hard copy to see what we need to show. I feel like I reinforced everything with the almost 200 page petition.

If I call the number in here tomorrow I wonder if they will tell me why so I can get started sending it back ASAP.

But still YaaY because I know they know we exist because we have been TOUCHED! (Dancing like a wild woman!)

There seems to be a lot of RFE's lately. I noticed that when I was doing my receipt number checking.

Good luck all!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDocumentary Proof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years and an Ongoing Relationship:

Did you send the boarding passes, etc along with the pics, or just the pics?  Your post is not clear on that. 

 

Pics only prove you met, but don't prove exactly when.

 

Boarding passes, etc, show when you were there, but don't prove you actually met.

 

The two together give a nice overall picture of being there within two years AND having met.

 

If you did include both, then, well... disregard this post.  I am as confused as you are in that case!  LOL
