K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAnyone help please?

I just finished my DS-160 form and got my confirmation letter sent in my email, i am going to look for appointment date in cgifederal.secure.force.com  but it won't let me finish it or it won't let me proceed to other page coz the information i entered is the same information that i entered when i made an appointment for B1 Visa 5 months ago but in different/new email address.. I tried to open that old email address that i used for making an appointment in my B1 Visa before but i forgot the password, it ask me for username and i couldn't even remember it. Even if i will create another account it will still be the same coz they recognized my information.. Please help. Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures1040 (Income tax return) PLEASE HELP!
Well u both don't know the reason why we fight.. So..
And if u want ur partner to be with u which that is really the
Plan then why not do everything needed to get it all done right? lol
And everyone know's that the documents that are sent in
The embassy are well guarded. If that makes the american
Petitioner informations/identity harm then why did they put
That in their one of requirements.. Im sure its not the president
Of the Philippines nor Indonesia made that requirements right? Makes sense

If you'd like some unsolicited advice, stop with the blame game. I noticed my Filipina wife also is big on deciding who's to blame or at fault all the time to. If something doesn't work out or an argument starts there's the assumption someone should be to blame. This is actually rather destructive in a relationship, when you'd best place your efforts on finding solutions to a problem regardless of the fault. When you get caught in the blame game, you'll find yourself continuing to fight over something silly just to make sure you're not the one considered to blame. Its better to put your efforts on what feelings your partner had that lead to the conflict to begin with so you understand them better and can possibly avoid setting the same conflict off again.
 
As I mentioned, your fiance is probably feeling a bit upset at how much personal and private information he's being asked to hand over to complete strangers. Americans are taught some of the paperwork that is being asked for are things you never let anyone see. We're also taught that letting some of this stuff get out, can destroy us financially if it gets in the wrong hands. Which is very true actually. When we're asked for more and more of this, our defenses automatically start going up, and we start reacting by saying no or finding reasons why we need not give that information. 
Just trying to give you a possible idea of why he doesn't want to hand over some of these financial documents. Be easy on him, its not easy for most Americans to hand over all that is being asked for by the embassy.




I completely understand what you mean but i hope you also understand all the frustrations
And stressed we are facing to get all this done. It's not easy as you know.
I know there are informations you cannot share with anyone,
But you are sharing it with someone you are bringing in your
Country to live with you, to marry and to grow old with you. It takes
Time and trust for you both to get to that point right?
So what's the point of you marrying someone you love if you cannot
Even give your trust? I hope that does makes sense to you..

Here's the link with instructions on what to bring with to the embassy. While they may decide what you have is enough, they may also demand you get the tax forms or tax transcript. They won't deny the visa if they decide they need it, they'll give you time to provide it. My wife once said when she was asking for things I didn't think she needed, "Well if you don't mind us being delayed a month of two because they want it, then its OK if you don't send it to me." Anything she even thought she might need was sent to her after that comment. laughing.gif  I understand where he's coming from, it starts to feel like they truly are asking for way too much as a certain point. But looking at in the light of my wife's comment and realizing how bureaucrats can be a total pain in the butt,  I no longer minded making sure she had these things.

k. EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT. You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge 
or be a burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form 
with original signature will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioners ability to be financially responsible for you. You should also submit your petitioners most recent U.S. Federal income 
tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank 
statements may be included to substantiate the I-134. 










Thanks a lot! I really really appreciate this.
That is what i also told him and that the blame will be all
Thrown to him. I don't mean but sometimes it made you say
Words you don't mean because of your anger.
But thanks a lot..

You will need his tax transcripts (these are requested and received direct from the IRS) or his complete tax return, including all forms and the W2's. If his income is close to the qualifying income, they'll want multiple years. 


This scares me now coz i will be having my interview this coming friday.
He kept insisting that i don't need the 1040 coz he is not self employed.
Im pissed right now. I only have his verification of employment, 3 recent pay stubs, W2's from 2011 to 2013.. I ofcourse have the affidavit of support..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures1040 (Income tax return) PLEASE HELP!

If you havent submitted it, which i doubt since NVC or USCIS asks for it, bring it or a copy of it. Youll never know what they would ask from you. 1040 is the tax form while 1099 (for independent contractor or self-employed) is the counterpart of W-2. Dont argue on a petty issue like this. He is just concern and he wants to make sure you pass the interview. Hes just like me i guess (LOL). I told my son to bring lots of docs on his interview. Again, because you just dont know what docs the Consul will ask from you. Its better to be ready than sorry. Goodluck.

 

That is what exactly i am fighting about, everyone in here bring their fiance's 1040 (im sure not everyone's fiance are coincidentally self-employed right), so i kept bugging him about it coz i don't want to risk anything by just lacking one document. It's actually me who kept bugging him about the 1040, not him insisting to have it hehehe

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp my K1 same sex visa was denied
I met my fiancè (which is now my husband) last March 2013. I had applied for tourist visa in june 2013 to visit my boyfriend here in the states but i was denied, after 5 months we met again and went to hong kong and macau as his birthday gift to me but before he flew to hong kong he submitted our petition for fiancè. After 23 days our petition was approved and had my interview February this year (2014) I really thought that my denial for tourist visa will be a problem but thank God i got approved during my interview. The CO was so nice and kind. Ofcourse he asked me about my fiancè and our relationship and where did we go and why did i choose him and what dating site did i met him and etc. Now im here in the states for almost 7 months now and have applied for adjustment of status. I hope you guys will be together again, i had experienced that feeling to be far away from the person you love and it's not easy. God bless u guys

PS. We are also same sex couple

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnyone who got their NOA2 the last two weeks called NVC yet?

No, I know that but when I asked how long it should take the lady said "it depends if we have to get more information from you"

 

 

You should be calling them everyday starting next week.



 

Petitioner's name and date of birth plus beneficiary's name and date of birth. They asked me the same questions every time i called.

We received our # on May 1 and I am going to call Monday to see if they have sent it to Madrid.  When I called on the phone they said sometimes NVC asks for more information.  Does anyone know what they would ask for?

I just asked for both and she gave me both.  I'm really not sure but we are applying for a fiancee visa.

 

 

Damn... I think you have the longest way for the NOA2 (more than 1 year) as well as the NVC case number (almost 1 month). I'm sorry to hear that. Good luck! You might try to contact Department of State @  (202) 663-1225.



 

Are you sure you have invoice #? I thought that is not for K1 visa. Am i missing anything?

Hi! I called today and they said that although the website was indicating a 5 month processing time they are actually processing applications from September 3rd. However, they only update the September 3rd processing date one time per month, so I am not sure if that date was selected a few days ago or closer to a month ago. They said I should call back in 30-60 days if I do not hear anything. I will be calling back in exactly 30 days! They woman on the phone was actually pretty nice and more helpful than other times I have tried to call. Good luck!
