US Embassy and Consulate Discussionwhat does this say about the police cert??
just out of curiosity, because my sayang is from Indoneisa too, what IS this police document for? Is the USCIS asking for my fiancee's police record? I just want to be prepared for whatever comes my way, as I am awaiting the NOA2
thanks

oh wait a min here.... My fiancee has a 2 year old daughter. We are bringing the daughter over to USA, the father has no custody rights and has no visitation rights either. Does this mean I have to file a separate I-130 for the 2 yr old also?


You show K-1 correct??

No as long as the child for you is listed on the I-129. It is differnt when applying for a spousal visa, you child will get the benefits of a K-2.


yes, K-1 - the child is listed on the I-129

Hello all,

I have been reading about documents that need an accompanying english translation... but can not find this one in specific sad.gif

Do I really need to translate all of her copied official divorce papers in her native bahasa Indonesia language?

if theres no question about having to do it, I'll have my fiancee do it.. its just a LONG tedious task!!

All i did was take a sampling of our online chats over the course of months and provided that. 1000 pages = 10 pages.

They don't accept cd/dvd/usb thumb drives.



ahh, ok. then thats what I will do, just take sampling, 10 or so pages. thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProof of ongoing relationship
hello all, first post here, the site has been very informative so far smile.gif

i have a question regarding K-1 VISA and proof of ongoing relationship. My future wife and I have been chatting through Yahoo! messenger for 7+ months and will continue to do so until (hopefully) her K-1 VISA is approved. I have saved all my chat logs for the past 6 months, and will continue to do this. I'd print them out and send along with the package, but its 1000+ pages.... I was thinking of sending along a 1GB USB stick with the chat logs in TXT format / maybe word format. I have not sent in the initial K-1 visa package yet.....

Would sending the USB stick even be worthwhile? What other way can i send these chat logs other that printing them out? Is it even necessary to include these logs, so they can determine how we met? (we did meet online).....

thanks, Andrew

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresunemployment + K-1
ok, thanks for the replies. I will call them on Tuesday just to clarify, I was just worried about the drop in income from the past years because of unemployment. I know I will be working again when the interview stage happens and when I have to cough up the I-134.

thanks smile.gif

USCIS isn't going to assume anything about your income (petition stage). The Embassy/Consulate (Visa application stage) won't assume anything either, they will look directly at your I-134 (Affidavit of support).


ok, so what I understand, it does not matter if its unemployment or job, it just matters if you have substantial income when they look at the I-134.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresunemployment + K-1
Hello all, I finally received my NOA1 today, after the mail got screwed up and waiting for 6 weeks! GRRRRR!

I am filing the K-1 for my fiancee from Indonesia and her 3 year old daughter

question regarding unemployment compensation and the K-1 visa. As I was getting the paperwork together for the K-1, I was laid off due to the wonderful economy whistling.gif So, on the biographic sheet (G-325A) I put down unemployed. Unemployment compensation is $21,300/yr. Now, the past 3 years I have made over $60,000 - but this year is going to drop because of the lay-off.

Would they assume I am receiving unemployment compensation? But I know by the time they get around to my case in the next 4-6 months I will have a job. I do have one lined up right now, but will not start until mid October. The prospective employer, if need be, can provide intent to hire.

I am just asking, with all the factors listed above, would this be a reason to reject my case, or make things more difficult?

thanks.
