I want to know that too. Im confused.

 

I am a Ladyboy :)


 

I was wondering too because I saw a picture on the bottom of the posting. 
 

 

Well i am a Ladyboy :)


Your name is Vanessa and you appear to be a woman and you are talking about a boyfriend but asking about same sex visas.  Are you transgendered?  

 

Well i am a Ladyboy :)

Please thoroughly read the guide.  http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide

 

He will pay the petition filing fee as directed on the I-129f instructions ($340): http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD

 

You'll pay a second fee for the actual K1 visa of $240 later at the consulate stage.

 

 

Thank you! :)


This is the guide that I used: http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide He will include the fee in the package when he has it ready to be shipped.

 

Thank you! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance Visa (K1 Visa) for Same sex..

Yes, same-sex couples may now file the I-129f petition for K1.  It's a very recent change (DOMA turnover).  Guide: http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide

 

If you search the forums, you'll find some other folks following the same process in same-sex relationships.  e.g. http://www.visajourn...ouples-show-up/

 

THIS REALLY HELP A LOT! THANK YOU FOR BEING SO KIND :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance Visa (K1 Visa) for Same sex..

What i am just confused about is where to pay the fee for filing the petition? My boyfriend never applied for any visa to someone before and never been out of the USA, it was actually his first time to come in Asia and will be his 2nd time this November but in Hong kong this time but yes with me.. hehehe

I am just confused about the payment that he needs to pay. Do we have to fill up a form first and print it out and pay like what i did in DS-160? I'm really confused. I just want some answers here so i can send it to him.. Thank you!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance Visa (K1 Visa) for Same sex..

Hi Everyone,

 

I am a new member here and i have read a lot of cases and i my cousin who just recently flew to Nebraska with her Fiance recommend me this website and this website is actually popular as i have heard this also in Youtube. So i would like to ask, are we now able to file a fiance visa? I have read in the USCIS that Yes we are now allowed to and my cousin's fiance is a US Consul and according to her, her husband had received a memo about it and it is not allowed. I just wanna make sure and ask for about that case. If so please do help me and i also wanna know what my boyfriend would have to file and what not to file for petition like what are the requirements/papers that he has to send for filing a petition. 

 

Thank you and God bless you all! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI am really confused! Help please

You do not need a great number of conversations or chat logs. Just a few good one's should do the job. You can maybe print one for every month you have known each other, or 1 for every week. Either way, it does not have to be a great number of them. USCIS is just looking for proof of the ongoing relationship, not the quantity. 

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH :)

Hi there:

 

I will tell you what I sent to my fiancé since I am the beneficiary:

 

*Photograph passport size (see req: http://travel.state....oreq_5334.html)

*Letter intent of marry ( I type with black ink and signed it in blue ink)

*G325-A (biographic information)

*Additional: (since I am the one keep all the records, so I also sent him Skype logs, chats,calls logs, Skype subscription, emails, visa stamps on passport, pictures that showing we are already met in person)

 

My fiancé filled out:

*Form I-129F

*Photograph passport size

*G325-A

*Copy of his birth certificate

*Lettet intent of marry

*payment fee: $340

 

Some others can add, I probably forget some of them. Good luck!

 

 

Thank you! How did you make a copy of your Skype conversation by the way? I don't know how to do that, I have made a copy of our Viber conversations and some from Facebook too..

I have a Facebook account that is not under the same name as the one on my passport. Do I have to list my Facebook name as an alias on any of my forms If I intend to use those Facebook conversations as evidence of our relationship history? I am a pre-op transgender. The name that most people use when addressing me is not the same as the one on my passport, altough I have never legally changed my name. Do I need to list my transgender name as an alias in order to include conversations under that name as evidence for our relationship history? A big thanks for your reply.. God bless us all! :)

I have to apply for legalization of my other name????? That is too expensive and long process i think, Vanessa is just only like my other nick name, not the name that i use in anything legal. I only use Vanessa as a nick name and name on our skype conversation and Vanessa saved on his phonebook. Do i really have to go through that?
vanessamaagadNot TellingPhilippines2013-10-27 23:10:00

You will have to go my your legal name and you can put Vanessa under "other names used."  A cover letter explaining the situation will go a long way.


vanessamaagadNot TellingPhilippines2013-10-27 23:08:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConfused!

hi,

 

I don't know the answer about the name, but the Alien number is your resident number, meaning your GC number

 

once you enter the US and marry, you will need to adjust status to become a LPR.

 

immigration will give you an Alien number which will be the number on your GC.

 

the K1 is a non immigrant visa, it's only to legally enter the country to marry.

 

to become a permanent resident you will have to do a second process, the adjustment of status, where you will get your A#

 

 

 

Thank you! I'm also kinda confused about the fees in filing a petition, do you have any idea about it? I read it in uscis that it's 240$, but i heard before that it was 300$ something.. thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConfused!

Hi VJer's,

 

Me and and my Fiance are confused about this Aline Registration Number, i don't know if we should look for that in USCIS website or only the Government or the Consular officer or whatsoever will be the one to provide that. And also i know i have posted this question but still not getting a clear answer yet, it's about my name. I am a transgender and my friends been calling me Vanessa since 2006, though i did not legally change my name. Do i have to write that also in the form? Because some of our conversation log like skype has my name "Vanessa" on it. I will really appreciate all your answers. Thank you and God bless us all!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A Problem..

It seems you have to resend the it. I don't know if anyone attempted to use a correction fluid or tape here. If you want you can take a risk for now and correct the mistake with a correction fluid then wait for an RFE (this may or may not happen) and only then resend the needed documents again. If not, I'm afraid you have to resend it bc your original signature is on the same page as the info to be changed sad.png Good luck though.

 

i REALLY HATE REDOING IT BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE, I HAVE TO WAIT 5 DAYS BEFORE HE WILL RECEIVE IT. NOW I AM CHECKING EVERYTHING AGAIN TO MAKE SURE NO MORE MISTAKES, I REALLY FEEL BAD ABOUT MYSELF. I AM JUST THANKFUL AND LUCKY I HAVE A VERY UNDERSTAND BOYFRIEND BUT STILL I FEEL BAD BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR IDEA ABOUT IT.. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT A LOT.

We are about to send our packet today, but then we found out i made a mistake in my form, instead of click OTHERS AND SPECIFY FOR I-129F, I clicked the Naturalization. My concern is, i have to send another form in the states again and it is expensive to send just 2 papers.

please see "Forms Needed to file for K1 Visa" and "Assembling the I-129F Package: Checklist"

 

DS-156 has been replaced with DS160 for k1 visas now. But you fill this out for the interview, not the initial petition.

 

 

Thank you but i still don't get it, so i don't have to send him the DS-156 and DS-156k anymore only the Letter of Intent and G-325A? Thanks
