CONCRETE, ACTUAL evidence, ie, an actual rejection or RFE, etc. because only the first page was sent is what i was asking for, not opinions, or "i heard from somewhere's". Thanks.

There has been RFE's for only sending the first page. There has also been members that havent received an RFE for doing same. All you can do is wait and see if you receive one. It's totally up to the adjudicator.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAny naturalized American filed for I-129F?

thank you for advise.

everyone say me fiacee visa will be problem, dont want embassy say no no, what to do?

Many have situations that may be seen as red flags. As has been said....Document your relationship. It may pay to submit this documentation along with your initial petition as once the petition is approved at USCIS level, a consulate officer must have grounds other then what was previously known by USCIS in order to refuse an application for a visa and send it back to USCIS for revocation. Have a read of here http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6769. I also recommend having a consultation with an immigration attorney.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAny naturalized American filed for I-129F?
There are many reasons that an application for a visa can be denied. Have a read of the guides in the tab at the top of the page....In short, submit your petition with any supporting documentation as described...once approved it will be forwarded to NVC, assigned a case number then forwarded to the consulate. They will also conduct security/name checks at the various stages. For the consulate you submit the necessary paperwork and documentation (there is much available on this site that is relevant to Mexico) and then it is up to an adjudicator. If one is eligible for a visa, one will be granted.


if they refuse his visa, because discrimination of mexican? Am full american, why will deny me fiace?

O.K senorita, i think you can apply but you have to wait for another 3-4 years. The consulate will definately catch up to your game. You ex-boyfriend definately waited for his time. By the way, if he has enterred the USA illegally in the past, then he will not be qualified for a visa and also if he has overstayed his visa before too.

Well aussiewitch or whatever your name is, since you are trying to be smart. We have seen so many cases like that and even an immigration lawyer will tell you that filling for someone immediately after a divorce and especially old ex-boyfriend smells a fraud.

Not trying to be smart at all but there is a lot of misinformation being stated. A USC can file a petition. The OP now has her citizenship.....FACT. There are plenty on this board who have filed immediately after divorces.

Thanks everybody! I'll go ahead and purchase a round trip tickets so I can save about $1500.

Yep it can be a big difference. We were looking at the same situation when purchasing my ticket from Australia as the one-ways were way more expensive. In the end though Dan happened to get lucky and find a flight that saved us money with a return. You just have to scour the web sites. A return is great though if there is an emergency and she needs to travel back, hence get the return part dated as far away as possible so its not wasted if needed in the next year.

hello Tamzyn base on my experience we need to follow what it says there in our birth certificate even we didnt used it just like my sister's name sinse shes studying elementary grade until she graduated in college shes using lolita and then she found out her name in birth ceritficate is not lolita but LULU so she start using her name in the BC and she dont have any problem about it bcoz she used taht also in her passport........but its just what i have experience....

soo good luck to both of you and hope i help a little....



Thanks for the info - i have one question though - why should he have to use a name that has nothing to do with him as the second part of the double barrelled last name is his mothers ex husbands name, not even his dads name? it doesnt make sence :wacko:

Family name is the name one is known as. Also eg a womans name when married is not always the one on her BC. You have documentation with your passport using Washington only. Submit all pages of your passport with the petition to show that you are a USC...this is one of the two options to prove that you are a USC.

aussiewenchFemaleAustralia2006-07-28 06:49:00

As he is the USC, all that is required from him is to submit either a birth certificate OR passport along with the I-129F to show that he is a USC and eligible to be petitioning for a fiance. Check the guides at the top of the page for the K-1.

Washington being the name he uses and is known by would be his 'family name'. Washington-Smith would then be listed in other names used.

You only submitted the end of June...and you many not be receiving an approval as quick as you are thinking but anythings possible with VSC. Are you one of the ones that submitted the new I-129F and erroneously received an RFE for the IMBRA related questions?

The RFE's for IMBRA are only to bring the petitions into compliance with the new law. Those that were not already in processing/approved/had interviews already set before returned, still have to wait until their processing date is due. Its not just a matter of returning the RFE and you will get an approval. They still have to look over your petition and accompanying documents, send an RFE for anything missing or needs further clarification, name/security checks etc. Once this is done an adjudicator can approve your petition.

All the best.

Yes one may receive an RFE for gaps in the 5 year period. I used the term 'Unemployed' on mine and all was good. Being unemployed for periods of time is of no consequence.

A suplementary page can be used if there is too many to list.

I wouldnt advise listing employment off the books

Only list employment. If there was no employment through the agency leave this time frame as 'unemployed'.

Just ensure there is no gaps.

Make TWO copies of the entire package before you send it in. This includes checks too. You want to have a perfect replica of the package you are sending in. Retain ALL originals.

Does this include the passport photos that I have to mail in too?

'Retain ALL originals' refers to documents etc that you submit, as only copies are required to be sent. Make sure you DO submit ALL forms as an original.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat does NVC do?


One is assigned a case number. Name/security checks are also conducted at the NVC level. The time it takes is dependent on those name/security checks. It can be anything from a week or two, to months. Generally though it is only a short pit stop to be assigned the case number.


What is the name and security checks? I mean, she provides the police certificate at the interview, what is this check? I put a couple of her nicknames on the petition that she uses for "other names used" do you think this will effect the checks?

Name/Security checks are a normal process with NVC/consulates but the wait time at NVC is generally not too long as cases can and will be forwarded to the consulate prior to the name/security checks being cleared. If an advisory oppinion is requested this can cause lengthy delays. Advisory opinions are usually to do with a point of immigration law. Administrative processing (name/security checks etc) usually refers to a legally mandated security check the Department of State (NVC) must do for all applicants/beneficiaries over the age of 16. The length of time one can be held up in administrative processing will vary as some countries are subject to closer scrutiny. The process normally takes four to six weeks but as I said it can be much longer. Fingerprints are sometimes required at consulate level but this is all a part of the initial administrative processing that began at NVC. Once an interview is held a visa will not be issued until/unless clearance has been received. In most cases (again dependent of country), administrative processing will be completed and clearance granted well before an interview is even held.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressecurity checks NOA21?
If you are in security checks there is no way of telling by looking at the online status. The only way members have been able to confirm this is when a congress person has enquired on their behalf when the processing date is 30 days or more past. A congress person however can not speed up this process. It will be completed when its completed. You may or may not be held up in security checks as this may of already been done.....it may just be the IMBRA backlog. I hope you hear something soon about your approval.

I did do a search on this site and would just like to confirm what i believe i read. I see some people get help up b/c of "security checks". Do these security checks come after the NOA2 from NVC? Just curious. If that is correct the only thing to come from CSC, in my case, is either NOA2 or RFE. Is this correct? Thanks


NVC is resposible for the security checks you read about. NOA1s, RFEs and NOA2s come from the service centers.

Tamzyn

Is this evidence for the initial filing of the I-129F or at interview stage? It is not a requirement of the I-129F when first filed to show an ongoing relationship. Evidence of an ongoing/bonafide relationship is needed at the interview stage unless you have red flags you wish to address and/or the interview will be held in a high fraud country.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOk, idiotic question I'm not going to like the answer too, butttttttt


I can appreciate that Mew.

My thought was that if they received an RFE, they would be no worse off than waiting. In fact, some processing would already be done. That is of course, if they get the darn backlog cleared!!! Cheers.





But if she sends out every piece of evidence she's got and gets an RFE, how will she be able to submit more evidence? Unless she's lucky enough to get the RFE after visiting her fiance.


How much time do you have to respond to a RFE?


12 weeks, I think.


It is a worthy gamble. I know that I could not wait 5-6 months to file...

But, as you and aselano suggested, if they list all of their existing evidence, a better evaluation could be conducted.

At the end of the day, I would not feel to good about suggesting that someone wait 5-6 months to file. You?


As much as I'd want to file right away, I guess my being ####### would make me worry to death. :)


The issue with filing now is that if you get an FRE, it will say that you need to show proof that you met between 7/31/2004 and 7/31/2006. Hence, not having pics now is going to be an issue. They might let you through w/o pics, but not likely.

More likely without pics then with pics if there is satisfactory primary evidence. Photos are secondary evidence. Evidence as a whole in creating the image in the minds eye of the adjudicator is what one has to aim for. If this includes photos or not will depend on the primary evidence. If one has pics, by all means they should be submitted. Photos are not the be all and end all. RFE's have been received by members stating 'photos do not show that one has met' and requesting other evidence to meet the requirement of having met.
aussiewenchFemaleAustralia2006-07-31 12:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOk, idiotic question I'm not going to like the answer too, butttttttt
When gathering evidence to submit, start by answering Q18 in some detail as to meeting/s within the required 2 year period that established the relationsihp. The evidence should then suport those details. What you are aiming for is creating an image in the minds eye of the adjudicator.....a complete picture.

Boarding passes, passport stamps, credit card receipts, rental lease (if living together) etc. Things like that are from an outside source and are primary evidence. Any photos you then submit as secondary evidence, support the primary evidence. Note: I agree with others.....photos are not primary evidence as they do not prove that you have met within the two year period. In general photographic evidence has and is looked on by adjudicators as secondary evidence in support of primary evidence submitted.

Until an adjudicator looks at your evidence when your petition is processed there is no way to say catagorically if what you submit will be accepted or not as proof of having met within the past 2 years. Each case is different and as such evidence submitted should reflect that. Look over all the evidence you do have...look outside the box of what is regarded as the standard. eg I remember a member who had received a family wedding invitation addressed to both and had flown their to attend with the fiance. They had originally overlooked this evidence which is IMO very good evidence. Another that had overlooked that they had attended the same college....another that wasnt going to include that they lived together at one point. All overlooked because they were looking only at the more common types of evidence such as boarding passes, passport stamps etc.


All the best

CR-1 is an immigrant visa for spouses of USC or permanent residents.


Her partner is a permanent resident, so can they go this route once married?

Yes only being a permanent resident there is a longer wait time for processing. One can though have it updated to that of a USC once that is granted.

eg CSC is processing petitions with a receipt date of Jan 16 2006 for USC filing for a spouse........where as they are processing petitions with a receipt date of Jan 1 2005 for Permanent Residents filing for a spouse.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI'm in UK, pregnant but fiance is a permanent resident. I want to have my child in USA. What are my options.

Earlier in this string, CR-1 was mentioned as an option for the OP. She asked what CR-1 was and this wasn't answered.

CR-1 is an immigrant visa for spouses of US Citizens who get married outside of the USA. The process for CR-1 starts the same as K-3, with an I-130. As I understand the process, an important difference from OP point of view may be that the K-3 interview would take place in Lagos (the country where they would prefer to get married) but the CR-1 interview would take place in London (assuming OP is in fact a British citizen). CR-1 often takes longer than a K-3, but maybe current events upset this generalization. A CR-1 enters as a Permanent Residence -- there is no need to adjust status, as with a K-3.

All of these paths require OP's fiance to get around to going through the Citizenship process.

(Did I get the facts right here?)

Almost ;) with just a couple of minor things not quite right. CR-1 is an immigrant visa for spouses of USC or permanent residents. They can of been married anywhere including the US.

well two simple and good suggestions:
First have your baby in UK. you know why? your baby would have a british passport. Now once you deliver the baby, both of you can go to USA since both of you would have VWP facility.
Once you get there, you can get married in USA with your fiance and remmember, your kid would be his baby too so he can apply for AOS for both of you.

Can you clarify this please. Are you suggesting that she enter on the VWP, get married and then AOS or did you just accidently miss the bit in between?




I have read in some posts that it is illegal to travel to USA on a vwp with the intention of staying permanently or do you mean i can go just for a holiday???

Yes it is illegal to enter the US using the VWP with the intent of immigrating.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years

Photos are very critical, but you can send your I-129F without photos, later you will probably get RFE.

On the contrary, I can cite occasions where an RFE has been received stating 'photos are not considered evidence of having met' and requesting additional evidence. These particular members had sent other evidence also aside from photos.

I would tend to think photos are critical to a certain extent as well. Boarding passes, and Visa stamps are good, but that doesn't prove that you met, it only proves that you traveled. To me boarding passes, visa stamps etc. is more of supporting evidence to photos, because they have dates on them. Not all photos do, and dates can be faked, but still having pictures together still proves you met. Unless you have a Hotel receipt or something with both your names on it, I'm not sure how just a boarding pass or visa stamps proves you met her. I'm sure people have been approved without pictures, but I think it probably depends on how good your other proof is.

The phone records would be used more to show an on going relationship, not as proof of meeting.

All photos do is place you together, that is not what is required by the petition. Photos are secondary evidence to support the primary evidence, such as boarding passes, passport stamps, credit card receipts, rental receipts if lived together etc etc Anything from an outside source that can place you in the same place.
