K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWeekends?


Does anyone ever get any info from the service centers on the weekends? I would be very happy with a NOA1, another member sent their package the same day as me to the same service center and already has their NOA1...Im still waiting...Am I just driving myself crazy checking my e-mail or is it possible?



Hi. You won't get anything in your email for an NOA1. You need to get the hard copy first. That is typically taking up to 4 weeks now. So check your mailbox every day! Then you can register online to see if progress is made on your case, but you need the receipt number on the hard copy to do so.

And yes, USCIS does work on Saturdays.

Good luck.


Thanks sweetie, you just reduced my pulse...crazy how this whole process elevates stress levels...maybe we can tap in to VJ'ers stress for a new energy source...I could probably power my home for the next 10,000 years :D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion: dates on the forms... too old?

I'm looking for a better job. ;) The big problem last time I went job hunting was that my health was shot, I'd never worked full-time before, and I'd never had an office job before. Now my health is better, and my current job is an office and it's 35 hours/week. So now I've got office experience on my resume and I've got the health and energy to get a 40 hour/week job in a busier office.

I'm gonna pull out the yellow pages and give some of the veterinary offices in my area a call. I figure it'll still be a fun atmosphere, since I love animals, but it's an office job that should still pay a reasonable salary.

By the time his new stuff gets over the ocean to me I'll, hopefully, know how things are going in that area.

I think just for safetys sake I would get new photos as well, after all you've got to get the 325A so why not


The pictures gave him a huge hassle last time. The passport photos are a different size than ours in his country so he had to find a photo place willing to do them for the required size, which was difficult. Then they were expensive (25 euros!), and he's having huge financial troubles over there. (The only job he could get can't support the only apartment he could get, so I'm the only one pulling in money here.) So more time waiting and more money spent... I'd rather not unless it's necessary.

How could they tell, if the forms have current dates, that the photos are more than 30 days old? Is there a way they could figure it out? There's no dates on the photos anywhere, and he still looks the same.

If you feel ok with the photos then dont sweat it, thats the "own judgement" thing....Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion: dates on the forms... too old?

Thanks! His photos aren't dated and he hasn't changed his looks at all, so I'd think he wouldn't need those re-done, right?

I was looking through the forms and *sigh* he'd need to re-send them anyway. He put New York, New York instead of Bronx, New York on one of his previous addresses. Plus... including his middle names, he has 5 names, and in his signature I can only make 3 letters out of the scribble. And the scribble looks different on every form! :huh:

He's going out to re-print it now (he doesn't have a printer). I'm gonna go over all the info again to make sure he didn't make any other mistakes. And I told him he's gotta make his signature more legible. I mean, I doubt all 5 names could fit in that box, but at least Firstname A.B.C. LastName... and then all 5 names on his letter of intent, I guess.

:wacko:


I think just for safetys sake I would get new photos as well, after all you've got to get the 325A so why not
but again you must proceed at your own judgement, Good Luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion: dates on the forms... too old?
I'm afraid youd better get new ones, besides the passport photo to accompany the G-325 is supposed to be less than 30 days old so you'll need a new photo anyway, might as well get it all at once.
Good Luck

Thats right, the Switch comment had NOTHING to do with getting a visa and everything to do with the OPs character, Im in no way what anyone would refer to as a "whiny baby" or sugar coater, but the switch remark was BS
Im sure Robor007 will manage to navigate getting a SSN just fine, if he doesnt there are LOTs of HELPFUL posters around here that are willing to help him..."The loss of one monkey will never stop the show"

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestime between meeting and filing fiance visa

why dont you read the facts of the case before rushing to defend? And the observation should give the OP an insight that someone can ask the same question and apply for scrutiny to the case, dont you think? Red flags are not a bad thing to point out.



No, but on another thread you ask about your "friend" going to see someone while hes married
Do you think thats a lot better?...i didnt see you throwing catty remarks out about that.
So you really feel like you should hurl insults, go ahead, it only makes one person look bad

You seem to be very easy to turn on and off, dont you? You have a switch?

Ouch, that seemed a little harsh, dont you think?


Sometimes a much needed glimpse of reality is quite harsh. That doesn't mean it isn't needed.


Yes, but do you come here for support or to be bashed? no room to judge each other...

maybe someone will give you a more definitive answer, but Im pretty sure just going thru customs at Miami will do the trick, they will stamp her passport and if theres any trouble in the future that stamp will serve as proof.

Good Luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresreceipt number on check

Mine started with LIN.

I don't get my checks back, I can only look at them online. The numbers on the back were almost illegible. However, I knew I had to find LIN (or 3 letters of some sort), so I guessed at the rest. First time I entered the numbers on the website, I came up with someone's app for a worker visa from 1998. Second time was for someone's visa for a fiance/spouse from the Middle East (2002 or so). Third time I finally got it. lol



I entered the best guess as to the number and it gave information that LOOKS to be mine...is there a way to be sure?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFinancial Aid Question

Thanks Mew, I don't understand the breakdown of benefits under the guidelines. It would seem that the financial aid isn't a means-tested benefit ... therefore it's income? :unsure: :wacko: :huh:



Eli, the financial aid is most probably to help pay for school, no? also its not neccesarily a recurring
stipend, I honestly would bet against it qualifying, surely he can find SOMEONE willing to co sponsor?
