K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNo Pictures Together = No I-129F Approval

Lawyer is talking nonsense. I submitted no pictures either for the K1 petition or had any for my K1 interview. I had boarding passes and other bits of paper like reservations for dinner in my name but receipted with my fiancees email and stuff like that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 and VWP for Australian marrying USC and Prem

Just tell CBP you are visiting your girlfriend, thats it. if you mention marriage they may well suspect you of trying to stay. Nothing to stop you getting engaged and filing for a K1 while you are there though.

 

Sounds to me like you ought to visit a few times and see where you want to go. Nothing to stop you visiting whilst filing for k1 and the process is ongoing. Just be aware if you file for and get a K1 then it has an expiry date, when you enter the US with it you have 90 days to get married and the k1 is done (on entry). make sure before you spend a load of money you are actually going to use the k1.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLondon medical worries

Bit late to be worrying now, I imagine they would make you get treated first and then tested again.

For your own peace of mind if neither of you have been tested for any STD's,  HIV etc then I would go and have the full lot done regardless of the outcome of your medical.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp! This is all so confusing!

There is a good guide pinned to the top of the UK forum page, read that.

 

Once he is in the US (well before really) go to the forum on applying for AOS from family based visas which will tell you what to do once he is in the US.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresB2 voided with stamp when using K1?

It will not matter as he is entering on K1, after that he will be on AP or GC both of which "trump" the tourist visa. I had an extant B1 ocs in my old passport, i asked them if they wanted to see it (at interview) as it was still valid "no" was the answer.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProblem with B2 Visa whilst K1 is pending...

I entered the US a couple of time on VWP while my K1 was pending and had no issues, the CBP bloke knew I had a K1 without me telling him so they knew I was an intending immigrant. Not the same as your case as the embassy was not involved but going there as an intending immigrant was not an issue.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to deal with my anxiety through this whole process :|

Get used to waiting, that said your wait time will be fairly short, we were waiting on 129F for almost 6 months, no RFE's just how long it took last year. Even if you get an RFE (and I doubt you will) it will still be quick.

Just look now at the next stage and get ready for that, so when it comes you will be prepared and don't need to worry. The people you will deal with are just people, they are not out to deny, they are just the same as you and I.


nobbieMaleUnited Kingdom2014-05-04 02:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFees after you receive NOA2?

Medical fee, interview fee, courier fee perhaps, any jabs you need. Then once you get there, AOS fee, ROC fee, naturalisation fee maybe.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa/Medical expiry date confusion

You need to enter the country withing 6 months of the medical date which will be before your issue date. The 1 year bit is for when you apply for AOS, if you do not apply for AOS within a year of your medical you will need another.

 

That's how I understand it anyway.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Visa - mistake on ESTA... PLEASE help!

Just go ahead and fill the K1 forms out, get your police check and see if it says anything, if it does then get a Subject Access Report done.

 

have a look at this, covers what Wiki thinks CIMT is in US immigration.

 

http://en.wikipedia....Moral_turpitude

 

I had ESTAs and several visas over the years and never confessed to anything, although I had pretty much forgotten until I filled out the police check form I had a minor conviction from 1980. I just told them and there were no issues. My police check was clear mind you but I got a SAR anyway.

Don't know how the  previous poster can make comments like "you will love USA", you don't know, you really ought to try and visit first. You may not like it, I don't particularly, I would live in many other places first, so try and visit.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhy is medical examination so expensive in London??

I have a medical every 2 years for work done in the UK it's about £100 but that's without x ray and blood test so £245 is not really expensive.

Once here is the US get ready to be shafted for healthcare, me and the wife pay $1000/ month for insurance and then you still have co pays to see the Dr, co-insurance for other stuff and of course prescription charges.

Then you will likely find other insurance (house, car) is more expensive here, property taxes are outrageous, we just got ours for next year $5,000, so if you think council tax is bad then brace yourself. Oh, and that doesn't include refuse collection, we get a separate bill for that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Visa questions regarding age.

Dont get a lawyer, it's not difficult t do yourself, they cannot waive USCIS requirements, save yourself about $2500, read the guides on here several times, read your own embassy instructions and browse the forums here, let's face it your going to have the time to do so, it's not a quick process.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDesperately need help with I-129F Package

You were right earlier, you are overthinking it. Most of it is common sense and i think it's highly unlikely that you would get an RFE for writing None instead of leaving it blank, that said if that's the instructions just do what they say.

 

Read the guides, read the instructions for the forms. once you have sent that lot start looking at the US embassy London web site and get familiar with that stuff.

The way I did it was while one lot of paperwork was away being processed I was getting familiar with the next bit. Both mine and my wifes handwriting is dreadful and we never got an RFE, so far anyway.

Don't worry, it's not that hard.


nobbieMaleUnited Kingdom2014-08-14 16:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresToo soon?

The letter of intent by mistake omitted the words 'within 90 days'. I got the RFE. They received the corrected paperwork on July 31st...nothing since then. What are they doing with the application? Does anyone know?

You ought to start another thread for this topic, this has nothing to do with the OP question.

In reality you cannot submit plans as you have no idea when you will get the visa never mind anything else. I certainly did not include anything of the sort, we submitted petition on Dec 2012  and got visa Sept '13

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo we need to have a wedding within 90 days or is a legal marriage sufficient?

a courthouse marriage is a wedding, just get married one way or the other within 90 days of arrival.

Most folk on a K1 cant plan it as you never know when you are going to get the visa in hand. We just got here, then a couple of weeks later got married in a park with a small group of her family. That's all you need to then file for AoS. You can have a family thrash later on, we had ours 7 months later.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F / K1,, RFE a second time??

I sent no photos for anything, not K1 not AoS, I don't feel they are important. The sort of stuff we sent was boarding passes, restaurant reservations made online and then credit card receipts with our names on them, hotel reservations, flights when we went on holiday together. Photos are not good evidence in my view, who knows when they were taken and where, and of who come to that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWe have our LND case number. What next?

I would wait until your case is in transit then schedule medical. What they want you to do is wait until the embassy notifies you then do what they tell you, which will be medical, get docs together etc. read the guides, read the embassy web site.

 

I took the I134 and 2 tax transcripts and that was it as regards affadavit of support.

 

Other docs for the interview are detailed in the guides and embassy web site

 

It moves at their pace so all you can do is be ready when they tell you. Not much else you can do to speed it up.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan my girlfriend visit me under VWP? Will be her first time coming to USA

She can visit under VWP, I did loads of times, when asked why are you coming I just told them visiting girlfriend. All I ever had was a return ticket but no harm in having more to show ties. Once you have applied for a K1 she can still visit and the CPB will know you have a K1 pending so do not lie then as they will know. At that time she says "visiting fiancee" as her reason for entering the US., they may well make sure she knows she cannot get married whilst visiting.

As Chile is now on the VWP you would think it would not be regarded as high risk of overstays.

No reason to think she will get a 2-3 hour grilling....is there?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAfter marriage

when you had the medical they must have discussed your jabs with you, otherwise how do they know what to write on the DS3025, the original of which will be in the envelope you handed in at POE. If you don't know/ can't remember then file anyway and you will get an RFE if you're not in date, then deal with it.

The original DS 3025 should be in the packet of docs he handed in at POE. From the original post it's not clear if he had the vaccinations done before or after the medical. If before they ought to be recorded on the 3025, if they were done afterwards the a 693 and civil surgeon will be needed.

 

What did they say at the medical, they will have discussed vaccine requirements?
