K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI129F-Request for Evidence
Just got an email that I have an RFE awaiting me. I wish they could tell us online what to fix. I am overseas visiting my honey this week, it'd be grand to get the letter stateside opened by a friend and know what I need to do in case I can do it while here.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Denial
We visited often but also spend HOURS a day on the phone (Skype and Google Voice are free), sent LOTS of mail back and forth, and had PLENTY of evidence that there was no one else for one another in our lives. It's more than just a visit, it's a life together.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTOTAL COST OF K1 VISA
Is there a charge for the K2 child visa too? Is it the same as the K1? I am checking the websites and adding up the costs, I have no issues at all paying them but it is nice to know that I need to budget $5,000 right out the gate. Seems that every form that they want needs to have money with it. Oddly they asked all this stuff on the I-129f application and now I do it all over again for the K-1 visa paperwork.

I think the costs ought to be a sticky here. Even the government sites only provide links and not actual costs until you dig deep enough.

She can fly here to marry you then go home and you can work on the I-130 to bring a spouse here. Kinda the long way to do it.

My stepbrother grew up baptist and his wife catholic. They discussed what to do and they went catholic. They have LOTS of kids, as good catholics do. It's all about compromise and acceptance, something all world religions need more of.

Visiting a country as a tourist is nothing like living in it as a resident.


Agreed. I visited one country for ten days. Then I decided to take a job there. My first night in town I was robbed, by the police.

The US isn't the "best country in the world". It's a GOOD country, but certainly not the best. It most definitely has it's faults, as do many countries and many countries do things better than the US. Again, doesn't mean the US sucks, or that I should leave for thinking so, but it's pretty crazy to say the US is the best country in the world unless you've actually BEEN to every country in the world.


It's probably the best for what the person seeks in life. There is no perfect car, perfect computer, or perfect dog. Well actually, all dogs are perfect, but I digress. You seek what you want then you find a country that offers it. What do you want? Snow? Guns? Free stuff? Dinosaurs? When you list what you want and step back, then you can look for "your" perfect country.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List

I'm not exactly sure when to put N/A versus none. Help please!


NONE means ZERO. Some examples are:
How many kids do you have?
What is your middle name?
What is your income?
What property do you own?

All these can have NONE as an answer.


N/A means NOT APPLICABLE. This means the question does not apply to you. Some examples are:
Are you pregnant or do you have pregnancy verification? (and you are a male being asked this question)
Do you still beat your wife?
How long have you been in jail?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List
I got an email that an RFE was sent. I was in the UK at the time and it'd be perfect if I needed to replace or get anything from my fiance. I had a friend at home check my mail and it turned out that they wanted another passport photo of me. Maybe the first was a bad size, got folded, etc. As soon as I got back to the USA I went to a post office and got passport pics shot and I mailed them both in the USPS envelope to USCIS. That was all they wanted, whew!

I America we queue up. We expect those who went before us to finish before us, and those who follow us to finish after us. Unless everyone ahead of you is finished and those after you are going in drives, just wait. There are plenty of applications sent in, and being noisy about it simply takes time away from processing to go find that you are #364 in line. You may not be going as fast as you like, but you are still in the queue and moving.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK2 social security needs EAD??
I had this issue yesterday. Went to the SS office with 3 forms for cards and they only took the K1 applicant. They said the kids on K-2 have to wait until they have a green card and to contact the IRS in the meantime for a tax number.

Someone needs to post that K2 folks are in no need of a SS card before the green card unless they are of working age.

Julie,

I am glad you worked it out with Don. His initial lack of information given to you and the Embassy is a sign of lying and fraud, and only a deeper investigation can find the intent. We have seen our share of drama in these forums, from a guy who still is friends with an ex to another who still LIVES with his ex. Some are fraud, some are not, and communication is the key. One of the shockers is how much time, effort and money is put into this, yet some people still lie. And even if they get away with the lie, if they are that sort of person there are much bigger issues ahead.

I would have had no reason to petition any of my past wives


You had said they'd have a record of your 2nd divorce, that is what made me think either #2 or #3 was an immigrant. How would an embassy know your divorces otherwise? How do you think they knew?

I don't know if mine were notarized, but I never got an RFE on it. Hmmm. I am going to email all my papers to my fiance so she can have copies in case any got misplaced.

As for how to deal with an upset fiance:

On the original I-129F we only listed the kids who would be coming here and said "Other children are adults and are not emigrating" and left it at that. For packet 3 we needed to get all the data and for the interview we got he birth certs of all the kids, staying or not. Way too much paperwork but yes they need to know the divorces are legal. You'd think to be married a 2nd time the 1st divorce must have been legal, but they want paperwork anyway.

If she is not willing to talk to you she may be getting cold feet or have other concerns. She did know about your former wives, yes? That could be a shock if she did not.

Call NVC/State Dept for an update on our end!

Similar issue here. I wrote SEE ATTACHED in the spot and on an additional sheet of paper wrote the number I was explaining, then (continued) then the information they wanted.

But surely she was not denied because you had three marriages?

We met in 2009 and just got together 3 weeks ago in the US. Worked out perfect. At first she was worried about missing Britain and all her friends there, but in that time she has closed house and has moved on. She never thought it possible, it only takes time.

We have both been married before and we are in our 40s so it's not going to be huge for us. She wanted a small wedding, and dummy me listened to her. Men! Do the opposite of what women say! We have friends and family self-inviting themselves, I guess it could be worse but we are forging ahead with our plans. 4 weeks and a day! And we still need to get rings. I better start shopping.

Find some others who files just ahead of you and follow their timelines. Then you can have an idea what to expect. Once we filed I would fly to the UK to visit Karen while the process was going on. I told the border agents that we truth, that she is coming to America and I am visiting and helping with the process in the meantime. Never had any troubles.
