K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 DS160 form Urgent help.

She isn't after any money, we paid in advance.  Right now my fiance and I are discussing it, we are both in shock that an atty can cause us to have such a bitter argument to the point we even mentioned splitting up.  As for the DS160 I hope our lawyer isn't thinking of submitting it, it can only be done by myself if I even get to that stage now.  I feel terrible, I hate fighting with my fiance, it hurts.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 DS160 form Urgent help.

I wouldn't mind, but we engaged this lawyer because we were going to marry in the USA.  We were advised under NO circumstances  to do that!  It was like we were criminals plotting a bank raid or something, but all we wanted to do was be together. Is that a crime?
 
  Then we were told the K1 visa was MUCH better than a spouse's visa. Pondering upon it, I really don't know if that was about money now!
 
Following this revelation,  we were  told that I needed to fill out a form,  a DS156, if I remember correctly.  I did just that!   Only  to be asked why did I fill this form? Hmm, let me think because you sent it me perhaps?!?!
 
Then,  at a latter date, I had a query about the police check for our clawyer," Can I use my enhanced CRB from work?"  I was told that my work one would suffice! I read this forum and apparently, my work one will not suffice, I need to have a  special immigrant police check., I thought beyond the box, I have sent for it!
 
 Anyway, to dig the knife in a bit more,  I was  sent an email  last month after my noa2 had arrived and advised  to fill in a DS260,, Upon querying the forms I had a reply saying  it might be a DS260 or 160  that we need.  . I just threw the towel in at that point, admitted defeat and retreated not replying /
 
Today, I have been emailed what seems to be a DS260 questionnaire. I give in!.. Personally  I want to terminate their services right now, but as my fiance quite rightly pointed out the embassy will expect a correspondence from our lawyers as our lawyers are our FPC, but seemingly the first point of incompetency too.
 
Hey ho, so the confusion begins! Lol













Hello shell20.. looks like your atty is thinking of how to get money from you.. k1 just need ds160 now. ( only form you need to fill out online ) and print the confirmation page and bring it with you during your interview...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp with K1 visa!

Overall process can take about 6-7 months but it can vary greatly to years in some peoples cases with prolonged AP.

 

The petition stages is going faster at the moment at about 2 months to get NOA2 and 1 month throught the NVC then two/ three months for medical and interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting Fiance For Christmas and New Year

I don't know how to dit my starting post but here goes.

 

Also i spelt know incorrectly.

 

I was charged with 16 counts of damage to property under £5000, £35 each ( times 16 ) in early 2009, when I had just turned 19, actually happened when I was 18 but took 5 months for them to finalise the charges due to lack of evidence.

 

I had had alot to drink and was stumbling back from a house party with three people i recognised from halls when one of them damaged 16 wing mirrors. Further up the road all four of us were apprehended and told we would be charged by campus security.

 

I was so drunk at the time i didnt react muc at all when it happened and really panicked when were were apprehended. As there was not enough evidence to decipher who did what we all got charged.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting Fiance For Christmas and New Year

I now im gonna get slack for asking this question, but here goes:

 

I attained a B tourist visa in July 2013 and used it for 1 week in November, only holiday allowance i had.

 

Our petition is at the London embassy currently in the midst of the packet three phase.

 

I had no issues with my first POE in Novemeber when our case was with the USCIS apart from a fuuny look from the border officer.

 

However hearing all these stories of people being interogated has made me question whether my christmas visit for two weeks is gonna end in tears and if i get deported potentially jeapordise my visa pplication.

 

Is my B tourist visa invalid now that I have obvious future immigration intent?

 

Additionally I have consulted an Immigration advisor (Ex US consular) for help regarding my previous criminal conviction and whether this will lead me to denial in the interview and whether I should, if I have the option to, apply for a waiver.

 

I intend to bring bank statements with my current funds showing rent, income from current employer, recent paycheck, NOA2 and probably packet three letter as I think its at my birth home by now.

 

Regards

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWorried about Visiting Fiance on B1 Tourist Visa

Yeah ive got a scanned copy of my packet three letter i forgot to mention that.

 

Just really worried about being interogated and the worst outcome coming true.

 

My mum passed away few weeks ago and im now parentless and this is getting me down worrying


vvvVeinMaleUnited Kingdom2013-12-22 13:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWorried about Visiting Fiance on B1 Tourist Visa

Hi guys,

 

Im starting to become more panicked as the flight dates looms closer. Im really dreading the interogation at POE in America.

 

I visited in November for a week, by this stage the petition had just been approved.

 

Now im at the stage where the consulate has requested my readiness form once I have assembled the documents. (Irony being we are now the ones slowing the process down). As the petition has [assed through the NVC I presume this information will flag up when i try to pass through POE again for my two week holiday with my fiance starting on christmas day, or so is the plan.

 

Im worrying myself over and over with the thought of being turned away and missing out seeing her again. We plan to get the last two documents before I can be ready for the interview while im there and I really want to kiss her on New years eve.

 

I read so many people getting interogated when they see you have a fiance USC. I plan to take a bank statement with funds, tenancy agreement with current month paid for on bank statement, letter of employment and payslip. Is there anything else people would recomend. I feel so depressed when she is excited that im coming back over, and I just dont want to have to deliver that phone call to say im heading back on the next flight, Ill probably cry and have an emotional breakdown.

 

Any emotional support would be appreciated. I just want to see her again so bad, as im sure eveeryone does with their loved ones, especially over the christmas season.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134

I have left the assets and bank balance portion blank because in theory all there asking for is proof you meet the guidelines, anything on top of that is additional. It can benefit you to provide this if you have an abundance of income and assets I can imagine but doesnt seem necessary.

 

If you meet the guidelines you meet the guidelines. Else why are they there. That's my thought process

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWill changing employer prevent K1 visa

She makes around 25k now and will make a little more at this new job if that goes ahead. But will two or three months at the new job be a stable enough income for them? we are worried as to whether she should leave her job now or wait till after AOS because she desperately hates it there


vvvVeinMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-20 14:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWill changing employer prevent K1 visa

My fiance is looking to leave her current job and start a new one which will pay slightly better both 5k above the minimum 125% for 2 people.

 

I am about to enter the interview stage so it would be after that but if she started a new job shortly after i received my K1 will she still be able to sponsor me for AOS with only 2 months pay provided her yearly income is above the threshold? or is there a set time you have to be in employment?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWill a return flight affect my Immigration process

I booked a one way flight trhough opodo.

 

They scammed me and there second follow up email showed a return flight.

 

I contacted them and they said the return leg will be cancelled whihc i was under the impression was illegal and will put me on a no fly list with the airline. However I rang us airways and they said that its fine to cancel it after departure.

 

So im now confused can i travel on this flight to america cancel the return flight and it wont have any affect on my immigration process. For example USCIS having record of me on a return flight i never got on.

 

Any experience would be apprecitaed and who should i contact with regards to Customs and border control as to whether this is allowable? Do i contact the USCIS or DOS or NVC?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdvice about Past Visa Violation
When it come to AOS, they would likely forgive overstaying visas, working illegally but NOT claim of US citizenship in the I.9 she filled out at the restaurant. They probably look at in to it. That's one of the primary reasons they ask you work experience for the Las 5 years in the US. It's a "ground of inadmissibility" therefore adjudicator may deny adjustment of statut.

Go back there and get married then file for cr1. That's your best and only chance. Two red flags on your shoulders
- The country from wich the beneficiary is from!
-The HUGE gap of age between you.
File for cr1 and frontload your package with tonnes of evidence and hopefully that might work out for both of you.
Good luck

For immigration purpose....if your previous marriage were held in the Philippines then you should have an annulment or divorce decree over there. If you were married here in the US then you are OK to file another petition without prejudice.

I'm sorry this might sound as a stupid question, but this got me all confused:
"....two electronic filled out DS-156(with Barcode). Does that mean i have to fill out the form online, print, comeback to the website and fill another one (stupid I know, but so many things in this procces didn't make sense either) OR does it mean i go, fill out the form and PRINT two identical copies of the same page?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould I Get a lawyer involved because of this RFE fiasco?

We filed in April and received NOA1 on April 25th
On July 30th my online status changed so we called USCIS on August 1st to find out why.
They said that on July 30th a RFE was sent out.
We did not receive RFE after 15 days so called again and they said they would resend again.
We received a letter in post saying about the phone call we had a few days before and a email saying the same.
No RFE arrives in post again.
On advice of a friend who is a lawyer we went online and booked a INFO PASS which is on Monday 24th.
We have spoke to tier 2 officers twice.

They have correct email address and correct address to send letters to as we have received everything else via them they just don't seem to be sending any RFEs in post like they said they would and no emails with regards to RFEs.









Don't get a lawyer, get a comgressman involved.
We've been through something similar, our RFE never arived, 15 days later, my fiancé called USCIS and put a service request on it, they said it'd take 30 days just to process the darn service request. Got an infopass and nothing, just another service request. 20 days after the rfe being sent we got a sentor's help. The person responsible for immigration issues gave them a call, talked to some people and all. A week after that, my fiancé got a call from TSC saying that they would disconsider the RFE and approve us anyway. We got our noa 2 that same day, 11 days later our case was shipped to the DOS.
Now, for them to CALL, the senator's person must have done something!
That's my advice.
Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List

Hi, i have a question for people who received RFE's before. What was the deadline they gave you? Was something simple, or something that needed more documents (including out of the country docs)?
Cause my rfe never arrived and they just resent it, but the tier 2 person we spoke to kept saying that there's a deadline for it to be replied and if it's something simple they give you less time. That kinda freaked us out, because if we missed the first deadline then it'll be a great headache for us to prove that was their fault in the first place (like telling us to wait 15 days before calling) - although we do have 2 service requests to prove it. I just wanted to know the average time so maybe we can feel a little bit less desperate while we wait for the second time for the hard copy to arrive.

 

Thank you

I don't believe it is a requirement. You're fiance wouldn't have an interview if their petition wasn't approved. My husband will not take his NOA 2 to the interview, it was not listed on the required documents.
