K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfee payment after visa issued

I read somewhere there is a fee to be paid afer the visa is issued,am pretty positive about that, and K1 is immigrant visa.


K1 visa is a non immigrant visa.

here is the link:

http://travel.state....types_2994.html

The $165.00 fee is for immigrant visa's and has to be paid before the greencard can be issued. that is the only time it is needed.
example: IR1/CR1 visas
New USCIS Immigrant Fee: Effective February 1, 2013, all individuals (with several exceptions, please see the website for more information) issued immigrant visas overseas must pay a $165.00 USCIS Immigrant Fee before traveling to the United States. Please visit the following websites for more details on the new fee, including contact information for USCIS, if there are further questions:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 dependents
Thanks Jay-Kay !!

I have been reading that some people are sending in the IRS tax transcripts and others are sending in the W-2/1099 and the 1040. I have the W-2's and the 1040's that were sent in. is one better than the other? and do they need to be "certified" or "notarized" ??

Thanks again for all your help!!

Have one more for you out there!

When the I-134 is completed and signed by me do I send it to my fiance for her to take in? or do I send it elsewhere?
The instructions on where to send this are vague at best!

Thanks!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 dependents
Hello all,

I am working on the I-134 Affidavit of Support and have a couple questions for those of you that have been through it all.

1. Do I need to list my children (4 children) under the age of 18 as wholly dependent even if they are with the ex-spouse?
2. Do I need to add the ex-spouse (a US Citizen) as a dependent in whole are in part if part of the divorce was to pay alimony and child support?
3. Does the alimony I pay count against my income for the standard?
4. Does the child support count against my income for the standard?
5. Is my income enough?

Employer gave me a letter stating that I make a base of $41,600 USD
I have been employed for 7 months and have made more than that($42,131 in 7 months) with the over-time that is mandatory.

I know this may be a long set of questions and maybe sharing too much information but I think the more info I give the more accurate the answers will be.

Philippinescould i be pregnant?!
QUOTE (andrew&evelyn @ Feb 15 2009, 02:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
What do you think? We are not preggy or not?


I'd say pregnant, definetely.

See, what HPT do is measure your HCG levels. That hormone is ONLY made by a pregnant woman's body. You usually have VERY low levels of that hormone in your body and it cannot be detected by a HPT but as the levels rise the HPT finds it and the pink line forms. So if your test comes out positive (two actually) that means that you DO have the hormone in your body = you are pregnant.

The HCG doubles about every 24 hours coming to it's peak at around 16 weeks or so and then goes down again. I think it's made by the growing placenta but I might be wrong there. That is why some women have their blood tested every couple of days to see if the levels double or at least rise so you can confirm a viable pregnancy.

An HPT will answer everything. Even OBs just use regular HPTs.

hello vj's! i dunno where to post this question so hopefully sumbody can give their ideas or experiences...my first day of LMP was jan 5 but no contact after that & until now no period yet...last sexual contact was between dec 24 to jan 2...is there ay possibility that i'm pregnant? i had regular monthly period before jan 5...hoping to hear from anybody's experience...thanks!



Sis u said u got ur LMP Jan 05 after that u didnt have contact, so how come u were pregnant??? wacko.gif all i can say is u are not pregnant kicking.gif


BUT. She might have ovulated before she got her period. Lets say she ovulated December 27th...and had intercourse on December 28th then the spermies might have made their way to the eggie before her uterus shed itself (ohhh the wonderful female anatomy smile.gif). she got her period while eggie with spermies travelled through the fallopian tube into the uterus and...voila...preggo.

I'd still suggest to actually test instead of asking the glass ball. If you are preggo and you are plenty time past your expected AF then a regular cheapo pregnancy test should detect the hcg hormones.
EvelineFemaleGermany2009-02-15 09:42:00

There' s a chance that you are pregnant. You might have ovulated before you got your period...

I'd get a home pregnancy test. They are so accurate nowadays. The chance of a false positive is rather low.

Hi girl! I should find time to blog Evie's birth story. Will surely write something about it. This week's been a bit busy and I am having frustrations with breastfeeding sad.gif Not as easy as everyone might expect.


I'm sorry you are having troubles breastfeeding. Give Evie some time and maybe you want to check with your local La Leche League Chapter or find a good lactation consultant. Good luck.

PhilippinesAOS Question
hello there,

NVC has to approve the AOS and Visa app papers as well.

A letter from your now employer is good to prove your income, submitting all previous tax yrs is good. just in case i would have a co sponsor ready on the side because of 2011 you had no income.
we all know tipped employees make more than what they say, i am a career waitress of 30 yrs so i know...lol.

i have a cosponsor ready in case i need to do another AOS.

iknow someone in here who got approved thru the embassy with AP but needed a new cosponsor since there one they had was short $600.00 in the AOS.

call nvc to be sure ok.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCSC is Frustrating
it took us 8 months before the california service center approved our petition back last yr. our priority was october 29 2010 and it was june 28 2011 before we heard anything.

i spoke with someone in the call center and it seems california is backed up that they cannot give a time framer any more when a petition will be approved or denied.

be patient it will happen soon for you. before you know it you will get your NOA2.

always remember, every case is different.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)German people...rührt euch!!
DIe Montessori Schule ist ab 6 Monate. Die Altersgruppe 6M - 18M kostet 130 Dollar/Woche. Dann gibts ne Gruppe 18M - 3y, das ist 110 Dollar (in die wuerde Allie fallen) und dann noch 3+years auch fuer 110 Dollar fuer Adam.

Das Gebaeude ist gar nicht fancy, nur ne kleine Huette. Der spielplatz ist nicht riesig, ich war auch noch nie dort. Hab es mir noch nicht von inne angeschaut. Ich mag aber das Konzept Montessori und ausserdem ist es direkt die Strasse runter. Am liebsten waere mir ein parttime job, so dass ich auch noch meine stelle als city secretary behalten kann. Hmmm...weiss nicht. Am ALLERBESTEN waere ja ein parttime Job von Mo - Do von 8 - 2 oder so. Da koennt ich die Kinder weiter beim Mother's day out lassen. ICh hab auch mal geschaut, ob denn nicht aupair councellers gebraucht werden fuer Sued-Houston aber ich find nix. EF nimmt aber Bewerbungen dafuer an. DAs wuerd ich supergern machen.

Ich denke momentan mehr und mehr darueber nach die Kids in die Montessori Schule bei uns die Strasse runter zu schicken (kostet 900 Dollar/Monat fuer beide zusammen, all day) und wieder vollzeit Arbeiten zu gehen. Irgendwie fehlt es mir doch unheimlich, einfach das 'ICH' sein, ne selbstaendige Person. Weiss nicht. WEnns nicht klappt kann ich ja immerwieder spaeter nochmal einsteigen..hmm..bin so undecided und weiss ehrlich auch gar nicht, wie man hier in der US nen Lebenslauf und Anschreiben macht...argh.
