Wilaiwan says that she didn't get any instructions pertaining to her medical with the packet three she received. The old checklist that I downloaded referred to following the included documents to obtain your medical exam. Is there something missing that we need, or can she just make an appt. at Bumrungrat and proceed?
She sent it in yesterday so we've joined the que!



Have her just schedule the appt, my fiancee is going to her medical on 3/13 Bumdundgrad (sp?)


My fiancee is going on the 14th.

For those that have had their fiancee go through the interview, do you have a list of questions they asked her?

You can also write the embassy to find out if your appointment was scheduled. We did that the beginning of February to find out our interview appointment was scheduled for the the 3rd of April.

This might be a stupid question and there doesn't seem to be much ambiguity in this email, but....

On February 24, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

...is this NOA2??? If so it came only 60 days from the NOA1, and seems 40 days faster than the average. Honestly I wasn't looking for this until April at the earliest.

Cheers,

Al


Yes, that would be your NOA2. Congratulations. You are fortunate. good.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLooking for some advice
QUOTE (ndbbm @ Jan 14 2009, 03:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
First of all, let me say, you have a great site here and I'm thankful for all the wonderful knowledge i've learned reading up.

I have what I consider to be a unique situation. I might find out that it is not at all. I'm a United States citizen and my girlfriend is from SK, Canada. She is currently living and working in Canada. I am living and working in Pennsylvania. We have known one another for a couple years, but only met and started dating in June of 2008. We think we have a good thing. We love one another. But being a bit older and more mature, we're not ones to rush into anything.

We want to spend more time together. We want to be sure what we have is real. So, the first thing we said was, how can that happen? Work visa! That turned out to be impossible as Barb does not have a 4 year degree. So, she pondered this and said that she really would like to go to college and achieve a degree. Something she always wanted to do.

So, she got a letter of acceptance from the local college here and plans to attend school, starting in August 2009. For her paperwork and what not, we clearly stated she would be staying with me. So, in this aspect, we are getting two things. She's working on that degree she always wanted and we will be feeling each other out to know if marriage is right for us.

If at some point during her 4 years of college, we do decide it is right and we do get married, is this ok? I certainly don't want to do anything illegal or anything that would jeopardize our future, should we both agree we want one together. Any and all advice is appreciated greatly and thanks again to you all!

-Scott



Sorry I don't have answers to your question but anyways, which part of Saskatchewan is your wife currently living? i'm from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

I started a thread earlier about using a service to complete the K1 and everyone basically called me a dumbass for not doin it myself. So I sit down and start filling all this stuff out and i get to the Affidavit of Support part. On number 3 of that document there is a place for me to fill out my fiances name, address, etc., but the form is all retarded in that there is no room for her name. It's like there is a line missing. It's ####### like this that worries me. I know that if i just fill it out neat and complete that anyone with common sense would be able to read it and understand. But we're dealing with Government employees. Can someone please explain where i write her name at number 3? I don't want something as dumb as that holding everything up.
Thanks.


Tell me about it....I agree about this government thing you said...my common sense tells me one thing and then I read these instructions sometimes and I want to go wwith common sense, but if you screw up just once,,,that's it. It's a battle of common sense versus supposedly "simple, literal" instructions..but these instructions are made for robots and our "thinking" gets in the way...... headbonk.gif I still don't know how to think like a robot..... laughing.gif

This is only vaguely on topic but I've developed a habit that turns out to be a detriment to my wife's English improvement. I've spent so much time adjusting and simplifying along with restructuring sentences to make it easier for her to understand me, that now that she really is ready to improve rapidly, I find it hard to just use plain English with her. It's no problem with my step-daughter, but my wife and I sort of have our own "Manglish". What was a tool, is now detriment. Be careful.


I know what you mean pshbrk about the "Manglish"...I use "Turklish" with mine and only because he now knows the same words in English and because any words I use in Turkish now are much shorter than the English ones...easier and faster. I am determined to help him become fluent AND fluent in colloquial English as well...he can't help it because I talk in metaphor and joke ALL the time...he has already caught on anyhow...but we have a LONG way to go.

I agree, it is the patience that will be the biggest problem. I was a bit annoyed at first, but just kept on with with my jokes and everything else. Soon enough, my SO caught on to all my jokes and such without explaining. I just told him we would use English and little else and this has helped. In person, it IS much easier to be understood....thank goodness laughing.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI have only dated my fiancee for 1 year!!

You guys are awesome!! :D
My fiancee and I were kinda ready for the civil ceremony and the church in Argentina, but we just think perhaps is better, if we will continue to be separated a little longer, that we do so as still being dating and not married. You know, one of those things.

Thanks a lot to all of you for your help.

One last question, there is an private inmigration agency that charges me about $750 for the assistance + the government fees. Should I go forward since time is very important? I just want to make sure that I don't screw up anything.

I would say, unless you have a complicated situation in your case, like overstaying a visa, I would consider legal help.
We didn't and went through all quite smoothly.
And when you have a question concerning filing, you can always ask here, someone will have an answer that can help you.

Is there any other documentation of her being in Thailand when you were?


Well, from her end, there's not a heck of a lot. She finished a class while she was there so she has a class certification and there's loose receipts from rent, travel etc. Nothing definitive like a passport stamp though. I'm trying to find out if she has or can get anything else.


Please be as specific as you can. She has documentation from taking a class. Is it dated? If so, do the dates correlate with your trip? Something like that combined with pictures of the two of you together particularly with landmarks in the background may well be enough.

Try to put yourself in the shoes of a reasonable person objectively evaluating your evidence. Does it show you were in the sam place at the same time within the past two years?



It is dated so hopefully that'll work. We're looking to find something even more concrete to use with the photos as well.

I appreciate all of your advice. Thank you much.

One document is enough but it needs to qualify as primary evidence. Are there stamps in her passort indicating entry and/or exit? That's primary evidence. You say she didn't have a visa. Did she sneak across the border. Overstay and entry without inspection are not the same thing.
[/quote]


Right, there are no stamps in her passport for her last travel to Thailand. I'm learning this for the first time so obviously i'm frustrated. My fiance felt as though this was okay if traveling from Cambodia to Thailand. She's going back to Thailand and stamping her passport but that doesn't account for the time we spent together which concerns me most about this process. I'm fearful that this will be an immediate ground for visa denial despite all of the other docs we have and obviously I'm not going to lie about when and where we met. We'll see what happens. Thanks.

USCIS won't care if she overstayed a visa in another country - they actually have no way to verify that anyway. They are only interested if she has violated US immigration laws by overstaying a visa to the US.


Right. What you need is primary evidence she was in Thailand the same time you were. What do you have?


Well, I have a lot of photos of us together and all of my bank/cc receipts placing me in Thailand but she has some documents--not many--placing her in Thailand at the same time. She's sifting through her stuff to find more dated docs/receipts.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPossible grounds for K-1 rejection?
Hi,

I'm new to this board but I've found it unbelievably helpful trying to complete and send out my petition for a K-1 visa. Thanks all.

I'm finishing up completing all of my initial paperwork and documenting my relationship with my fiance but I've run into a trouble spot that I'm not sure what to do.

I met my Cambodian fiance in Thailand and traveled there four seperate times last year to spend time with her. I have a lot of documentation detailing our time together but I found out she had traveled from Cambodia to Thailand during that time without a visa so obviously the dates we spent together won't match up in our passports. She had traveled to Thailand by obtaining a visa several times prior to last year.

This seems big to me but I'm not sure--this is my first time attempting to apply for the K-1.

I know I've read someone overstaying any US visa and then applying for a K-1 or any other visa is difficult. Does that same rule apply if someone is found to overstay a visa from entirely different country?

Any info would helpful,

Thanks again.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat are "touches"?
Yes, thanks for your support. I will be strong but this whole thing is very tiring...............Good luck to you too good.gif
MLDMaleCambodia2008-08-30 13:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat are "touches"?
Yes, I did have an RFE (missed a checkbox) so maybe that's the reason......I don't really know. I've seen folks on this site with similar timelines, with RFE's that have gotten processed but it is a case by case basis so an RFE could be the reason or something else entirely.....We'll keep waiting, there's no other option.


You know, lately, I've batted around a bunch of ideas on what could be the cause for delay on my NOA2 (Hey, what else is there to do, right?).

Now, if this first approval phase is mostly about me (I'm in the US applying for my fiance in Cambodia), then obviously a thorough background check is done on me during this approval phase (I'm making an educated guess here so if I'm not right, someone please tell me).


So I thought about several things: 1) My name is extremely common (its a step above say a John Smith) so doing a background check can be more extensive because there is most likely a ton of matches when you run my name through a system 2) Due to work relocations, I've lived in multiple states in the last few years -- again more reason for an extensive background check and even adds to number of name matches 3) One of those states was MA and I know that MA is one of those states where you do have some pretty extensive red tape to go through when pulling personal information

So, basically, my theory is they're having to take more time with this background check due to circumstance.....This is again, only a guess because I have nothing else to go by (and not much else to think about either wacko.gif )....I'm 100% confident in my background - no criminal activity, no marriages, no legal or financial problems, not even a speeding ticket so I'm hoping to get this NOA2 soon.

Now that I'm running through it all, I really hope this is the reason for my delay in processing.....As opposed to my file folder fell under someone's desk or (and I read about this on this forum) my file was shipped to a storage facility.


Who knows, I'm hoping today will be the day.....We'll see.. yes.gif
MLDMaleCambodia2008-08-28 15:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat are "touches"?
Yes, I agree, I'm at a point in my process where I want to know -- good or bad -- what's going on. To me, if a 'touch' implies someone has even picked up my file and moved it to another pile, it would still help me mentally.

This obviously isn't news to everyone, but while these files get processed, our lives (daily decisions, daily actions, worklife, personal life etc) are on hold. So any insight into to what's putting my life on hold, is valuable insight to me--no matter how granular...

Anyway, it is a little more relieving for me to hear on this site that folks have had files processed without any website touches, so thank you for that.

I, for one, have been re-directed back to this very site (that has no touches) during the few calls I've placed to customer service. I'm just hoping my state Senate office will be more effective pulling information on my case....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat are "touches"?
Hi, Is it common that files don't get updated on this site? I've also read a lot about 'touches' on a file and I have not seen my file touched except during three keys changes in the file (an RFE issue and received and a change of address notification) since I sent it in Feb of this year.

Does anyone know if the touch or update to the file is something left up to each processor (i.e. if they feel like updating the file on the website, they do)?

I'd hate to think my file has only been touched three times in six months....But, I'm trying to remain positive so hopefully I just have one of those processors who just doesn't like to spend time updating the file because they'd rather be processing files faster blink.gif

HI, I've been waiting since Feb 28 and I did talk to an immigrations officer on the phone yesterday...It's not a 6-month wait. They will refer back to the processing time on the website and that states Feb 1 for VSC--that's 7 1/2 months. I asked if there was any issue noted on my file and she said there wasn't, it was just in processing. It can't hurt to call but don't be dissappointed at the 6 month timeline when you call and they refer you back to the website again.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLong Wait Experience
Agreed. I was talking with one of the contacts for my reps about that very issue today. It's something that you could say is one of the issues surrounding illegal immigration (there are other issues with that too but this could be one of the causes). This political run is focused on the economy for the obvious reasons but some other time, some smart politician will and should a make a platform on tightening this legal immigration process as a means to curbing illegal immigration.

Anyway, I'm going to stop my complaining now and get off the soapbox because I know it's not helpful to anyone...Good luck to you all and especially you Estadia, what you're going through just is not fair and I hope it all turns out for the best. smile.gif

Estadia, I do feel for your situation but my fiance and I have already decided we won't wait the same amount of time you have. If there's no decision, then I'm finding a way to relocate and make a living.

If they told you that your security might clear next year then I'd be really worried. What possible background check would take longer than 1 year? Are they on foot in the investigation? That doesn't make much sense.

I admire your will to see this through but I'll tell you, we don't want to spend our lives talking on the phone and emailing.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLong Wait Experience
Yeah, that's really all I can do....I'll keep calling. I've learned it is a toss-up on who you get on the phone--some people know much more than others. ...Bottom line, there's no oversight and no accountability. Now, I've talked to all of my reps who have really just shrugged their shoulders, rolled their eyes and said they'll try but the fact is, we'll just need to continue waiting.......That is the part that really frustrates me--elected officials know how poorly this department gets run, but don't do anything about it! I'm 32, I used to be a proponent of big government in hopes that our communities thrive on more tax dollars sent to organizations and departments who help build and support our country's infrastruture. Evidently, I was naive in thinking those organzations and departments would be managed well. I haven't lost complete faith but this experience has been eye-opening.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLong Wait Experience
No, nothing I'm aware of. I don't know why my case is taking longer than everyone else on this website...They don't tell you and that's what is most frustrating.

I have called quite a bit to find out anything and no luck.

Last week, I called to expedite my case (this was when we were technically within their posted processing times) due to escalated military fighting close to where my fiance lives in Cambodia.....I was told I'd hear something back in five days. I called after five days and I was told they would file a request for a status on my request and the Center has 30 days to respond to that request! Ummmmm, do you think these procedures are documented somewhere? And who wrote them? I'm literally laughing to keep from crying....If the goal of the USCIS is to make folks feel helpless...Congrats!

Hi,

I've now been waiting for my NOA2 since Feb. and I was sort of hoping I'd be able to find out more about my delay after processing times were updated putting my case officially overdue. Well, it hasn't mattered so far--not much difference on getting any info and I've tried a few avenues so I'll continue waiting.

Anyway, obviously I'm getting more and more worried there's a problem with my case. Does anyone out there have experience getting your NOA2 approved after it was in processing for more than 8 months? If so, did you ever find out why the processing took so long for you? Did you have to contact anyone in particular and was it effective? (I've already contacted my Senators and Congressman)

Thanks for the info, I'm holding up some hope here.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 -vs- K2 and General Questions
Apologies in advance if this isn't exactly the right forum for this question but I didn't see anything for general Visa discussion.

So, my girlfriend and I have recently started to talk about marriage and I just wanted to get a little advice on what strategy we should pursue. I am a natural born US citizen and she is a Colombiana who is currently living in Santiago, Chile where she has just recently begun a Master's program which she will be finishing in December '09. Her not finishing her Masters isn't an option so December '09 would be the earliest she could leave Santiago (permanently).

Our goal then is to get her to the States as soon after December '09 as possible. It seems that there are, generally speaking, two options. She can either come her on a K1 and we'd get married here or I can travel to Colombia (or even Santiago) and we could marry there and then she could come on a K3. I'm having trouble figuring out the pluses and minuses between these two approaches.

One other thing I'll mention is that we'll be spending three weeks together in August, traveling through Chile/Uruguay/Argentina and she'll be most of January and February here (as things stand now on her Tourist Visa). Does it make sense for us to try to use either of these dates to help us along in the process (eg, try to get her a K1 by January, or maybe get married in Chile) or would we be better off just waiting to start the process after she finishes school? I suspect the latter, but thought I'd throw this out there. Okay, thanks in advance for any thoughts anyone might have. This looks like a great site.

Last week my American fiance suddenly sent an email to tell me he did not want to marry me. After he came to my country to visit me in May 2007, in September 2007 he told me he applied visa k1 for me and he sent me the copy of I-797 with the receipt number WAC-07-275-53311 to show me that he truly applied the visa k1. Then he started to talk about the rent of his apartment would rise and he wished I could help him. I thought he tried to ask me to send him money to pay his rent. I refused to send him money because I did not have dollars to send him. After he suddenly told me he did not want to marry me, I have to wonder if he truly applied visa k1 for me and if he faked the copy of I-797 to fool me. I can find WAC-07-275-53311 on uscis website but I can not find his name and my name relating WAC-07-275-53311 on uscis website.

Could anyone tell me how and where I can check if WAC-07-275-53311 is truly about him and me? How can I know if WAC-07-275-53311 is real?

If WAC-07-275-53311 is real and if he does not cancel it after he does not want to marry me, what will happen? Will this make trouble to me when I want to get married with another American man in the future?

My oral English is not good, so I do not think I can call uscis to talk to them. Please help me. Now I feel I am fooled. I feel so sad that I have wasted 2 years to keep in touch with him. I feel I was so stupid to trust his sweet words about love and I was so silly to pay some money for his travel in my country. crying.gif


I logged into my account on the USCIS webpage and that account is there, it is legitamate, he most likely did file for you. If you have a copy of the NOA2 with his name and your name on it then he did file for you. It is a pretty offical looking paper and there is microfine printing on it like you would see on American money. If it is copied you may not be able to see the micro print. When I logged in it looked just like when I filed for my sweetie. I'm sorry that he has decided to not marry you. Maybe it was'nt meant to be. Under your account it reads:

So it looks like he did file. Is Sept-26 the day on your NAO2? I also see that it was touched on 1-30-08, my guess is that he called and cancelled it, or it is currently being processed for approval. I can't determine which one it is from the information. I will check back in a few days and see what it says.

Anyways, keep looking, I know it is hard sometime but don't give up and be careful. You will find the right man for you.

I'm not 100% sure but this should not affect you in any way. If they ever ask is someone has filed a petition for you just tell them yes and say what happened. I really don't even think they will ask. I don't think it will prevent you from gaining a VISA in any way if you are just honest. It will affect him if he ever tries to apply for a K-1 again.

The limitation for the petitioner(him) reads:
If you have filed two or more K-1 visa petitions at anytime in the past or previously had a K-1 visa petition approved within two years prior to the filing of this petition, you must apply for a waiver. To request a waiveryou must submit a written request with this petition accompanied by documentation of your claim to the waiver.

Don't worry you will find the right man for you some day, Dont get discouraged, I know its hard sometimes. Good luck and take care.


Just to add in there his name and your name should be on your I-797, but no there are no names printed on the USCIS web page. Check to see if Sept-26 2007 is the date on your petition. I'm guessing he did file and changed his mind. The only way to really know is call the USCIS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat is the truth and how can i do?
QUOTE (vj2008 @ Feb 2 2008, 01:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Last week my American fiance suddenly sent an email to tell me he did not want to marry me. After he came to my country to visit me in May 2007, in September 2007 he told me he applied visa k1 for me and he sent me the copy of I-797 with the receipt number WAC-07-275-53311 to show me that he truly applied the visa k1. Then he started to talk about the rent of his apartment would rise and he wished I could help him. I thought he tried to ask me to send him money to pay his rent. I refused to send him money because I did not have dollars to send him. After he suddenly told me he did not want to marry me, I have to wonder if he truly applied visa k1 for me and if he faked the copy of I-797 to fool me. I can find WAC-07-275-53311 on uscis website but I can not find his name and my name relating WAC-07-275-53311 on uscis website.

Could anyone tell me how and where I can check if WAC-07-275-53311 is truly about him and me? How can I know if WAC-07-275-53311 is real?

If WAC-07-275-53311 is real and if he does not cancel it after he does not want to marry me, what will happen? Will this make trouble to me when I want to get married with another American man in the future?

My oral English is not good, so I do not think I can call uscis to talk to them. Please help me. Now I feel I am fooled. I feel so sad that I have wasted 2 years to keep in touch with him. I feel I was so stupid to trust his sweet words about love and I was so silly to pay some money for his travel in my country. crying.gif


I logged into my account on the USCIS webpage and that account is there, it is legitamate, he most likely did file for you. If you have a copy of the NOA2 with his name and your name on it then he did file for you. It is a pretty offical looking paper and there is microfine printing on it like you would see on American money. If it is copied you may not be able to see the micro print. When I logged in it looked just like when I filed for my sweetie. I'm sorry that he has decided to not marry you. Maybe it was'nt meant to be. Under your account it reads:

On September 26, 2007, we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice.
