K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresproblem with address!!!help

 I am not a permanent resident in Indonesia. I started working here since 2010 and renew my contract yearly. I go home to the Philippines once or twice a year. My fiance' and I we're advised to have the letter of intent notarized in the Philippines but it shows on my G-325A that my present address is Indonesia.

So G-325A form on the section "APPLICANT'S RESIDENCE LAST FIVE YEARS" I will mention Indonesia address from 2010-present right? How about my Philippine address? I also need to mention this since that is my permanent address? Ugh I am really confused. This is the only thing that's keeping us from filing the I-129 packet yet:(

HELP!!!

can I have your e mail add guys and have you look at my forms. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease :)..Thank you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresproblem with address!!!help

Hi to all VJ members!

I got a question about addresses. I am from the Philippines currently working in Indonesia.

So on my G-325A I mentioned that I presently reside in Indonesia from 2010 to present and Philippines from 1998- 2013. But on my letter of Intent, I mentioned I reside in the Philippines because that's my permanent address and I will have the letter notarized there. I am afraid the USCIS will think there's a discrepancy on our forms. Please help us so we can file the petition the soonest. My fiance' and I are stuck at filling out forms. Thank you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLetter of Intent Question!!!!

Thanks for the responses :))

The letter of intent was from our lawyer. It says that I am presently residing in the Philippines. On the G325A, I declared that I am presently residing in Indonesia because it's true. I am here working so it means my present address is here right? I realized that my address on the letter of intent doesnt match with my present address on the g325a. Although I also declared on the g325a that i am still residing in the Phil. My addresses dates on the g325a are "overlapping" .So what I did is revised the letter of intent from currently residing to I AM A PERMANENT RESIDENT OF THE (stated my address in the phil) I believe that this is more clear right? any opinion or suggestion before we file the petition..I dont want to mess this so please..help!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLetter of Intent Question!!!!

Thanks for answering everyone:)

 

I have another question though:))

 

I am a Filipina currently working in Indonesia, on my G325A for my present address is Indonesia but it has overlapping dates with my philippine address since my permanent address is still Philippines. so it's like this on the form:

 

Indonesia 2010- present

Philippines 1998- 2013

 

Someone told me that the overlapping dates are ok since I mentioned that I am just working here. JUst confused about my letter of intent address?The lawyer told us to write my Philippine address there and have it notarized. Is this okay cause I am presently in Indonesia and my letter of intent address is Phil?Help again please!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A and Letter of Intent Question!!!

JaniceDave Hi!

 

We got our letter of intent notarized last month when we're on vacation in the Philippines just after he proposed to me. We have our itineraries, passport stamps, and boarding passes to support this.

Since I can't change what's on the letter anymore do you think it's ok that I am presently residing in Indonesia but my address in the letter of intent is Philippines since the consul in the Phil's going to process our papers?

I am still a resident of the Philippines right?I go back once a year.

I am repeating myself now, sorry:(

I am really confused:(

Thank you for taking time to answer my questions:)

As for me, I feel really blessed to have found VJ.com.

Thank you guys for taking time to answer all my questions :)


yes, there's a section on the I-129 asking which embassy you want to process your petition. I mentioned Manila, Philippines.

I keep repeating myself to my fiance' cause obviously he agrees with the lawyer so I ended obeying him instead:(

But guys, do you think this is going to big a big problem for us?On the I-129 form and G-325A the addresses are the same which is my work address presently. It's only on the letter of intent that I mentioned I'm residing in the Phil. We got that notarized when we were still in the Philippines on vacation couple days after he proposed to me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A and Letter of Intent Question!!!

Hi VJ buddies!

 

We're almost ready to file our I-129 packet. My fiance' hired a lawyer to help us. He provided the Letter of Intent format and asked that it should  be notarized. So okay, we followed him. On the letter of intent, it's stated that I am a Filipino citizen and a resident of...(mentioned my Phil address). However, on my G-325A it's stated that I am presently residing in Indonesia but I also mentioned that I am working here. I've been working here for almost 4 years and I just go back to the Philippines once a year. My letter of intent was notarized when me and my fiance' were in the Philippines last month. That's couple days after he proposed to me. I told my fiance to get rid of the lawyer and follow the VJ letter of intent format because there's no need to mention the address there right?He told me to just follow the lawyer. Ugh, I don't know if I'm just worrying too much over nothing. Part of me also says that whoever is going to review our file knows better since it shows on the document that I am working in Indonesia.

 

Can somebody please give me some peace of mind:))

 

Thank you:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance' got a new job after NOA1!

There's no issue, same thing happened with my Fiance & you don't have to do anything. We had received NOA1 but not NOA2. He just used his new employer on the i-134 affidavit of support that he prepared for me at interview time. He included a letter from his new employer confirming the date he commenced employment and his salary. He also enclosed last 3 yrs of tax transcripts and last 3 most recent payslips just prior to the interview.

 

Just make the i-134 the relevant most up-to-date document. They understand that things can change between filing the i-129 and the interview.

 

Thank you for taking time to answer my question.

God bless to our journey!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance' got a new job after NOA1!

Good day VJ family!

 

My fiance' moved to a different company right after we got our NOA1. Where/ how do we update his new employment? By the way our I129F petitions approved already. We received the NOA2 hard copy 2 days ago. Our lawyer told us that we don't have to update his employment record. We just got to stick with what we mentioned on the I129F since he already has his income tax and employment record for this. Is this true? I know he's a lawyer but I trust VJ family more. Any advice, anyone!

Thank you :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTemporary Job!Will this be an issue?

shes applying for a k1 visa, i had my interview 2 years ago and got approved without a letter from his work just pay stubs, w2s

it may be more strict in the Philippines. But they didnt evan ask from a letter from your employer in Australia.

For our AOS i just sent his temp contract saying when he started how much he makes and his company name and his signature

our interview is in 3 weeks so   i dont have any dough ts we wont get approved. I think if it was a issue they would of sent us a RFE alot earlier

Thanks for sharing this:). This gives me peace of mind.

God bless:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTemporary Job!Will this be an issue?

I'm in a similar situation... thought I'm actually unemployed.  I'm searching for work, and was hoping to be employed before the interview, but that hasn't worked out.  I have two co-sponsors, though, so I'm hoping the consulate will take that into account.  The key is to prove my fiancee won't need federal assistance, and I think we've shown that very clearly.  

Hi Ciyin, when's your interview? My fiance' and I agreed to wait until he gets hired full time before we schedule the interview. We've been arguing about this everyday, I was kinda blaming him for moving to a new company while we're on the process but finally today we agreed to be more patient and just wait.

I wish you good luck on your visa journey and I believe you'll find a new job soon:)


kaysil17FemalePhilippines2013-10-15 09:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTemporary Job!Will this be an issue?

We're having almost the same circumstances,my fiance is been working full time for almost 5months & we want to schedule interview at earliest possible time but we're not sure if were good to go because he havent made permanent yet.What i can add here is, you save at least 3-4 months of his pay stubs to substantiate the proof of his income & I think that would be a good idea also if he can ask favor from his superior a letter stating that he is working full time in the company.

Hi,

We're planning to wait until he gets hired "full time" before we schedule the interview. This whole visa thing is getting the best of me:(

By the way, you filed the petition in 2010?Am I reading this right? Are you also a member of the AW group? I wanted to send you messages but it says you can't receive them. Can I add you on fb?:))


kaysil17FemalePhilippines2013-10-15 08:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTemporary Job!Will this be an issue?

His last years annual income was above the poverty guideline. He left the old company in August and started working in his new company in September because the pay is higher and there's an opportunity of being hired full time. But of course we don't know when this is going to happen and our petition's expiring in January.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Thanks everyone for being so kind and helpful. Thank you for giving me peace of mind.

God bless everyone:)


kaysil17FemalePhilippines2013-10-14 20:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTemporary Job!Will this be an issue?

 

Maybe he could ask his boss for a favor? I mean, if it's a big corp that he's working for, it'll be hard to ask for that, but just to have it on paper that he works full time, then you'll be set since he makes enough money.

This is what I'm thinking too. I'll talk to him later after his work. I don't know if this is possible since he's only been there for almost a month and it's a big company. Thanks for the idea:)


kaysil17FemalePhilippines2013-10-14 10:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTemporary Job!Will this be an issue?

 

 Any chance one of his parents can be a Co-Sponsor, as a backup? I know they might not accept a Co-Sponsor, but it can't hurt to bring the forms just in case.

 

 But yeah I think it's probably a good idea to try to make it a permanent position before doing the interview if possible. Is there any chance you Fiance can talk to his boss about this? Or could he resume his old job maybe?

 

Keep in mind that (I think) you need to have the visa approved within 4 months of Noa2, meaning you need to have it done by about the second half of January 2014. That might be enough time for your Fiance to find a full time job.

 

"Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." - Psalm 37:4

 

Our petition will expire on January 26, 2014. I am going crazy thinking about this. My fiance likes the new company and he's hoping to be full time first of December. Yet he also told me that there's going to be a temporary company shut down in December. I am not exactly sure what that means but he said that he'll either get hired full time December or January. I am honestly exhausted about the whole process but I believe that God is in total control of everything. Maybe He's asking us to wait for His perfect timing.

Thanks everyone for replying:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTemporary Job!Will this be an issue?

We filed our I129F packet in August, 2 weeks after that my fiance' moved to a new company. His job description as of the moment is "temporary". Is this going to be an issue during the interview? On our I129f we mentioned his old company since he's still working there and we also used it on our affidavit of support which was included in our packet. We received the approval of our petition on September 27. We are awaiting for our case number to schedule my interview.

We're going to update/ bring a new affidavit of support for the interview which is his new company. I am just worried that we'll have a problem with this since he's not employed "full time". His annual salary is above the poverty guideline, 125%. But the job description on the employment certificate will be "temporary".

I need your help guys. Being away from someone you truly love is difficult. I want to be with him soon.

Your advice will be highly appreciated:)

God bless everyone!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI34 question!help!

So my fiance' just moved to a new company last month. He already requested a certificate of employment from them and it states the hourly rate he's receiving and his job title. On the affidavit of support, is it okay to mention the hourly rate X 8hrs/ week on the annual income part? My fiance's handler said he can't give him the annual income since he just started last month. He's receiving above the poverty guideline and I already have his latest ITR, 1040, and W2. But we need to fill out a new affidavit of support since he changed companies 2 weeks after we file the petition.

Any advice please. Thanks:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNVC Incompetance

Our packet was received by NVC 04 NOV.

 

When I called and obtained our Consular tracking number to my surprise I was given an KWT (Kuwait) ID.

 

Now true when we filed my fiancee was working in Kuwait but ITEM 20 on page 2 of  the I-129

 

specifically stated we would process in MANILA -- its there I verified about 100 times already

 

Now the packet's status on CEAC is "IN TRANSIT":

 

Even if you knew this could happen there is no way to stop government morons who cant read the most

critical item in the application ITEM 20 (Where you will process)

 

This information should be scanned via some OCR device to prevent a clerical error of this type.

 

When I addressed the issue to the NVC host she stated "It went to Kuwait because the current address was Kuwait"

Here's the point...you cannot put ANY OTHER address other than your CURRENT address otherwise you are technically 

falsifying the I-129.

 

We have legal assistance working a back door resolution (Kuwait shipping to Manila) but that's not a sure thing.

Anyone with legal insight or experience please chime in.  Since the packet left NVC they say there is 

nothing they can do. And if anyone from the NVC is reading this this is the most fundamental step in 

the processing -- getting the packet to the CORRECT EMBASSY -- and YOU failed!

 

 

We're in the same boat. Our petition was approved 27 of September and my fiance got our case number Thursday last week. To our surprise the case number is Jakarta case number. On I129f we clearly mention the consulate in Manila Philippines to process our petition. I am currently working here so I put Indonesia for my current address because I believe writing Philippines for my current address would be a lie since I am here. I already booked my ticket for the Phil because we really thought I'd have the interview there. My fiance called NVC immediately if theycan still change the case number/ re route it. They told him to email NVC. The following day my fiance called and said they already shipped our file to Jakarta and there's nothing they can do plus they didn't receive our email. I was depressed for days. Everything's been planned already. I will send you the link of my post. I was given a lot of good advice there. wait

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice Clearance NOT Required in USEM Jakarta?

Hi sis, I'm sure you have seen this: http://jakarta.usemb...ce_k1_visa.html

 

Re-check, Item #7: Police certificate IS REQUIRED. If you stayed more than 1 year in Philippines (that is, born and raised), you will need an NBI clearance. Just not sure though, if it's equivalent to and the same as the police certificate, technically speaking (Most likely it is). Maybe best to check both with US and Philippine embassies in Jakarta.

Thanks for this:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice Clearance NOT Required in USEM Jakarta?

To make the long story short our file was sent to USEM Jakarta instead of USEM Manila. I am currently working here in Indonesia and planned to go back to the Phil next month for the medical and interview.

However, NVC assigned us a Jakarta case number and our file is on its way here. We've decided to just do the process here. My problem now is my NBI clearance. I can request it with the assistance of Phil Embassy in Jakarta but it will cost us a lot of money.

We are awaiting our packet 3 so we can proceed with the medical and interview. I want to start requesting for my NBI ASAP while waiting for packet 3.  Yet some members here said police clearances are not required in USEM Jakarta.

How correct is this? If this is true then I don't have to waste money.

Can anyone done with the process in Jakarta tell me if this is true. Help guys!!! Thanks:)
