K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	translated documents	The translator is stating that they are fluent in both languages and capable of translating. They do not need to be a professional. My friend who helped me is not a professional. We had no problems with our petition - no RFEs. My friend signed and dated every page where she translated. I did the same for her and translated all of her e-mails and letters she wanted to use as proof. I did exactly what she did for me and her application was also approved in no time. E-mails are used as proof of ongoing relationship - I believe it is helpful. I chose e-mails where we talk about marriage as well. This is just my opinion but I think it supported our application well. You got this from the USCIS misinformation line? You are free to do your own translating. I translated his damn birth certificate (we were RFE'd for it) with no problems. It does't only come from the misinformation line. It comes from experiences. Whilst it is generally stated that one can use anyone as long as they are conversant in both the english and foreign language and certify the translation, it is also wise not to translate documents oneself. Some have gotten away with that, others haven't. If one has a friend or family member that will do the translations, it is generally accepted. USCIS does not and has never stated that one can ONLY use a Certified Translator. Just as USCIS accepts photocopies of documents submitted, but can turn around and send an RFE for the original.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	translated documents	rebex05 Also make sure you submit your own G-325A as well. Relationship evidence is not a requirement. This evidence will be required at the interview. Tips for evidence that is submitted: Use Q18 to describe in some detail of how you met in the required 2 year period that established the relationship. The evidence you then submit should support those details. Boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel/credit card receipts, rental receipts if ever lived together etc etc are primary evidence. Photos are secondary which support the primary evidence. What one should be aiming for is creating an image in the minds eye of the adjudicator......a complete picture. Look outside the box for evidence that shows you both in the same place at the same time. Each case is different and one should submit evidence accordingly, not just rely on the standard unofficial list. Whilst evidence of an ongoing relationship is not a requirement at the initial filing stage, it can be beneficial to those from high fraud countries (eg the philipines) to do so, or if there is anything that could be a red flag that may cause issues at interview stage. This evidence should always be very carefully scrutinised especially emails & chat, to make sure there is nothing mentioned that may be construed in a different way then it is meant. Also make sure that any photo evidence submitted of any ceremony cannot be mistaken for a marriage ceremony which has in the past caused issues and denials.	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2006-11-30 02:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance's birth certificate & I-129F	Hmm... I sent my I-129F about 2 months ago and I did not include my beneficiary's BC. Do you think I will get a RFE because of this? I was never informed of the beneficiary's BC as either an optional or must-have... I just didn't know. I hope I'm still okay. Don't be stressing over this. The majority of petitioners do not get an RFE for the beneficiary's BC.	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2006-12-05 05:23:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance Visa vs Marriage Visa	Well, here is the e-mail response. Thank you for your email. It is the policy of this Post that american citizens filing for immigrant visas for future spouses do so at their country of residence. If you reside in the United States, the petition must be filed in the US. You also have the option of filing for a "fiance visa", which is a non immigrant visa that once filed, and approved after interview, would enable your fiance to fly to the US to marry within a period of three months. For more information on the subject I recommend you look into: www.uscis.gov. You could also redirect your query to the following email address: montevideoiv@state.gov The person in charge of immigration in the office will eventually be able to assist you further. In the meantime I hope you find this information helpful. Respectfully, Elisa M. Henderson, Consular Assistant Embassy of the United States of America Send another email to montevideoiv@state.gov as per directed and see what response you get. Don't mention fiance, just request information about filing an I-130 for a spouse with the consulate. You may or may not get a different answer, but worth a shot if there is any chance at all to file directly with them.	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2006-11-09 16:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance Visa vs Marriage Visa	I received an e-mail from the US embassy in Uruguay and they told me they do not do the direct filing and I need to pursue a fiance visa. Figures. I'm going to get started on that before the end of this month. I just did a search of the US Embassy in Uruguay's website and could find no mention of immigrant or fiance visas, so it seems they do not have an immigrant visa issuing post. I am unsure as to which is the nearest to Uruguay and there is no indication from the two links that dalegg posted. When seeking a response from a consulate in relation to DCF, always remember that this is not an official term and may be misunderstood by consular staff as to its meaning. You would be best served to ask 'What is the process for filing the I-130 for a spouse with your consulate' or something similar.	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2006-11-09 14:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Pictures	Hi, I am trying to apply for my fiance to come to the US and I had a quick question. When sending in your pictures for the I-129F do you write the description of the picture on the back of the photo? Also would you recommend writing it or typing it and pasting it on the back of the pictures. I would appreciate your reply. Thanks Kabilan Oh no we didn't send any pics of us being together with our I-129F Application We followed the info for a K-1 on the USCIS site They never mentioned they required pics of us together with the application. Only the passport type ones of each of us We only wish we'd discovered this site back then There's so much info and help on here that USCIS doesn't give on thier site Will us not sending pics of us together hurt our application I sure hope not. Have a good day everybody Good Luck to all Allie Allie It depends on the evidence you have submitted together with your response to question 18 and whether or not it satisfies an adjudicator that you have met the requirements of having met in the two year period. If an adjudicator feels that additional evidence is needed, he/she will issue an RFE for such. Try not to worry about something that may not even happen	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2006-12-06 14:32:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Very new at this	1. Means that someone has done something with your case file. This could be for any number of reasons. Some important, some not. One shouldn't put too much emphasis on their case being touched and some members will have no touches. The system is not always updated. 2. One shouldn't make wedding plans until one has visa in hand. You never know what may hold up this process. 3. Makes no difference providing as you say there was no overstays etc. 4. This can be consulate specific, so better to know which consulate so someone with knowledge of that specific consulate can give you a rundown.	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2006-12-07 14:54:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Declaration of having met in last two years.	Tip: Use Q18 to describe in some detail of how you met in the required 2 year period that established the relationship. The evidence you then submit should support those details. Boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel/credit card receipts, rental receipts if ever lived together etc etc are primary evidence. Photos are secondary which support the primary evidence.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Que regarding circumsances by which we met I-129	Whilst there are those where a simple one line answer to Q18 has sufficed, there are also those that have received an RFE for further details on how they met in person that established the relationship.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	My journey now from nvc to American embassy in Pakistan	whereas i m asking about the transfer of case from uscis to nvc how long it takes to get there and i m looking that mostly people approved petition are received within the 10 days. I am curious that almost 2 weeks gone and still i heard nothing from NVC. Which is exactly what Kitkat was referring to. It can take several weeks for a petition to be tranferred from USCIS to NVC. Some are transferred within two weeks, some are not. It is frustrating I know, but give it some more time. Just keep calling the NVC and speaking to an operator to find out about your case. All the best to you. Lorelle	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2006-11-13 07:25:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Already here	Marriage/adjustment in USA If your fiance/fiancee came to the US on a tourist visa with the intent of immigration and marriage, and you are not yet married, then he/she should return to his/her home abroad, and the K-1 visa should be filed (using an I-129f) instead of the I-130 to avoid a denial, deportation, or even being banned from re-entry to the US. If you are already married, and your spouse came to the US on a tourist visa with the intent of immigration and marriage, then he/she should return to his/her home abroad, and the I-130 (or along with an I-129f for a K-3 Visa) should be filed with the relative outside of the U.S. to avoid denial, deportation, or even being banned from re-entry to the US. The above conditions are serious and can result in the separation of families for many years if not taken seriously. Key part to this option is.. .. IF SHE ENTERED in the USA with NO INTENTIONS ... and you decided to marry she can remain while she is awaiting the adjustment. If SHE CAME HERE WITH INTENT on marriage... you can still marry her here but she will need to return to her country and await the process of a K3. or she return to her country with no marriage and you file a K1. Looks to me that if you wish her to remain here... there was no intent on marriage.. and you could marry here here and file the adjustment.. I am no lawyer.. only me.. so just information I have gleened while here on VJ.. You may wish to do a search on Information on marriage on tourist visa.. .. many different people have asked similar questions.. it may be beneficial... some of them are located in the Adjustment of status thread... Best of luck.. and congratulations to you both Hello! :-) Just a question - how do you prove that there was no intent to marry ... and how do they prove that you did indeed have intent to marry? Intent to get married has nothing to do with it. Immigration intent does. There is a difference. Even having intent to marry on entry and then changing ones mind as circumstances change, one can apply to adjust status in the US after marriage to a USC. Many on here including myself had intent to marry on entry. Nothing wrong with that. Some return to their home country and apply for a visa, others circumstances change and they apply to adjust status.	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2007-01-27 12:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Two quickies...	About the form, I did mention in my post that the example in the guides was the one I was looking at. I know that the G325A from can be used for a variety of applications, and in that particular example, it was ticked "naturalization". I guess with a K-1 you aren't filing for naturalization, so I suppose I'll keep my answer the same. The USCIS G-325A had a bug in it causing it to mark naturalization. You would check 'other' then something like 'I-129F petition for fiance' as that is what the G-325A is being submitted with.	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2007-01-27 12:45:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	fiance/petitioner letter of intent	Using the form on this site for the fiance letter of intent, I noticed a small detail that almost led me to make a mistake. The form online if for the alien fiance, so it say you inted to marry within 90 days "my arrival." But if the USC is filling it out it should be changed to MY arrival. Did anyone else notice this? Or am I making some kind of mistake. I, USC, do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry Alien, and intend to do so within 90 days of HIS/HER arrival into the US using the K-1 visa. I, Alienb], do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry USC, and intend to do so within 90 days of MY arrival into the US using the K-1 visa. Your right. The form should be drafted as MY/HER/HIS arrival. Many forms here have mistakes in them.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	A few quick questions re: K-1 filing	Thanks for the help! 1. My fiancee doesn't have a middle name, so on the 129F form am I correct to write "none" in that box (same thing regarding apartment #)? 2. For proof of relationship, neither of us kept any boarding passes, luggage tags, etc. - does anyone know of any way to retrieve this information or is that avenue pretty much a lost cause if nothing was kept? 3. Is the "Affadavit of Support" form submitted in the original pack with the I-129F and G-325A or at a later time? Thanks again, best of luck to everyone! Andrew You canuse your entry/exit stamps in your passport showing that you were in Japan within the last two years. And then for proof of relationship you can use photos and even statements from friends who know you as a genuine couple. Yes, the Affadavit of Support is submitted as part of the petition (along with I-129F and G-325A and everything else. Checkout the guide here on VJ. Everything to submit is listed on the sample cover letter. Good luck! The Affidavit of Support is submitted at the interview stage, NOT with the initial filing of the petition. a&o' Use Q18 of the I-129F petition to describe in some detail of how you met in the required 2 year period that established the relationship.

Look outside the box for evidence that shows you both in the same place at the same time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How Long is an NOA2 valid for?	Morning all. Just got our NOA2 notification via email yesterday, but I was just wondering how long is this NOA2 valid for until it expires? Thanks The whole application itself is valid for 6 months I believe. It will say on the NOA1 when it exprires. This applies for both NOA1 and NOA2 This is not correct.... as was reported before, the NOA2 will have the validity period on it.. (4 mos.) Correct. Also want to say.........There is no 100% guarantee that a petition will be extended automatically. There has been cases noted whereby consulates did not automatically extend the validity date. There is an example letter in the Examples section to extend the validity date of the petition for those that wish to do so. In my book, better to safe guard against this happening (even it it is only a chance), then to have to start all over again.	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2007-03-01 15:10:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Necessary or Unnecessary on Affidavit of support?	The I-134 is not a requirement for the K visa, even though often used. When the I-134 is used, it is only one thing that a conof may look for when determining if the applicant will or wont become a public charge. Hence why evidence outside of what is listed on the I-134 is also often needed/requested. Some consulates will ask for 3 years tax returns, some 1 year. Some consulates don't even ask for an I-134.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Lawyer or No Lawyer	Whilst sites such as this offer great resources and experiences in order to do this yourself, a consult with a competent immigration attorney may not go astray. We do not always know the issues that may cause a delay or problems with our case down the track, so at least a consult may uncover any of these possible issues, which in turn may take away any possible heartache later when things go amiss and a petition is sent back for revocation. There are many that have navigated this visa/immigration process without any major problems, but there are also those that perhaps would of faired better had they at least gotten some legal counsel to begin with.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What problems have I caused myself?	Did she get her visa and come to the USA? I have broken things off with my fiancée because of something that became known thought the medical testing during the K1 process that I didn’t know before I started. I allowed the visa to be processed because I do care for this person even though I choose not to marry her because of this. I thought that if I canceled the petition It would have left her in a bad spot with the embassy (Manila) and she would have even a harder time getting approved if she finds another or even attracting another if they knew what they were up against to get her. Believe me It wasnt good!! Anyway when I found out about the problem it caused me to have to fly to Manila three times this year to deal with it. I jumped through all the embassy hoops to clear her name so she would be ok in the embassy eyes. It was difficult but she was cleared and approved but by getting her approved I never thought about the problems it could cause me. Since then I have met another that I'm interested in so I’m wondering if I petition this person in the near future will this cause me a problem even though I never fulfilled the visa of my X-fiancée? This has all happened over the last year and I figure if things go well I will petition a K1 again next year. No she never used the visa. You are the very reason why we have IMBRA. This girl is not a commodity to be bartered and traded. EXPLAIN yourself SIR. The OP does not HAVE to explain himself any further than he has chosen to do. How does what he has chosen to reveal indicate that this is the very reason we have IMBRA. He found out something after already being in a relationship with this girl for some time, that he felt was in best interests not to pursue further. He has also shown that he cares very deeply for this person, hence why he still wanted to make sure she would be ok. Not the sign of someone who is callous or wife shopping. Gawd blimey, just answer his immigration related question, and if you can't, leave it be. Edited by aussiewench, 29 November 2006 - 06:33 PM.	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2006-11-29 18:32:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	fee	what is the fee for filing 1-29f and should I make out the check to USCIS. Thanks A good plan is to alway check the USCIS website for the current fees. You can view them here As per the instructions on the form...... Pay by check or money order in the exact amount. Make the check or money order payable to the Department of Homeland Security.	aussiewench	Female	Australia	2007-03-26 22:23:00
