K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long did you know your fiance before you filed your I-129F?

We met online in August 2011 and I first met her in person in March 2012. We filed on August 2013, so we had been talking for almost 2 years. I've also visited her 4 times about to be 5 and she hasn't had her interview yet. I know a lot of people have only met once and often times get engaged within a year or so it seems.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Interview Didn't Keep Passport Photos

Thanks for the encouragement! Yes it was the DS-160 photo. See the embassy's reply below to my email. Hopefully this post will help anyone else that has the same happen.

 

 

Mr. *******:

 

Thank you for your mail.  We have the photos in the system in the electronic form DS-160, we do not need extra photos.

 

Sincerely,

 

Immigrant Visa Unit

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Interview Didn't Keep Passport Photos

Did she have a separate ASC appointment to take a photo and do her fingerprints? They most likely will use the photo from that, or they scanned the passport photos to use digitally. I do not think you need to worry.

 

No she did not have a separate appointment, she said the same person that asked her for the pictures today took her fingerprints right there but just handed the photos back to her after.

 

So I should send the email just to be sure right?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Interview Didn't Keep Passport Photos

Question:  Did they keep the Passport?  This seems Odd but don't fret for now.

 

 

 

Yes they kept her passport. They told her to register on the website for delivery to the DHL office closest to her and she told them that she already registered there.

 

I'm going to send this email to the IV inquiry email address for the Lima embassy. What do you think?:

Hello,
My name is Ken and I am the petitioner for the above application for my fiancee. My fiancee had her interview there earlier today (January 6, 2014) and was approved. However, she realized after the interview that the passport sized photos that she brought with her to the interview were returned to her. I am sending this email because we wanted to be sure that this was correct and that the Lima embassy doesn't need the originals.
 
Sincerely,
....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Interview Didn't Keep Passport Photos

My fiance had her interview today in Lima (I wasn't able to attend with her unfortunately) and she was approved! :) However, she told me that at the interview, one of the first ladies that she talked to asked her for her for the passport sized photos she brought and then handed them back to her. In the end, they didn't keep any. Has this happened to anyone else? Do they scan it right there or something into her file? Should we email the embassy to ask?

Stop writing misleading subjects on posts! I hate when people do this just to get attention for their thread. This should be against the forums rules....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPhoto evidence of meeting for I-129F - can I print several on paper?

Photos are so cheap at walgreens and places now you might as well just get those rather than wasting ink or paying somewhere to print photos. Also I liked it because I just wrote on the back of them. With walgreens you can upload all your pictures online and order them and they're ready in like an hour. I think I paid a couple bucks for like 25 photos.

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

To a moderator: What isn't good about this thread is it's extremely convoluted. Yes there is a lot of good information people have provided here and I thank them for that. But instead of people just saying "We got an RFE for such and such," people come on here and start posting questions when they haven't received RFEs, or adding information about other things. It would be better to have a thread where people just state EXACTLY what they had an RFE for. With all this other information, it's difficult for people to follow it and to really call this a master list. Not trying to rouse anyone who posted questions, just my opinion.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC taking too long

I just posted about the same concern... our petition was approved on August 16th and it has still not received the NVC... It seems like there is something wrong but maybe we just have bad luck and need to be more patient :-(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports39 days since NOA2, still no further process

and also, will the NVC let us know by e-mail or mail when they process our case or is it our responsibility to call them and keep track of it?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports39 days since NOA2, still no further process

So our I-129F got approved on August 16th. My fiance called the NVC yesterday and they said they haven't even received our case yet. Is that normal?? Are there any people who also have to wait that long?

So I finally received packet 3 today and I'm a bit confused... it doesn't say anything about the I-134 (Affidavit of Support). When is that due? And do I have to fill out the DS-160 online?

Any help is appreciated :-)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsquestions regarding the sponsor

Hello guys,

my fiance finally found a sponsor for us. He just has a few questions and I couldn't find clear answers on uscis.

 

- is the co-sponsor financially responsible for me as the beneficiary, or also for my fiance/husband?

- does he claim me/us in his taxes?

- what happens if I and my fiance get divorced before I become a citizen? Is my sponsor still responsible?

- how soon is it possible for me to become a citizen?

 

 

Thanks for any help :-)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Our Relationship Has Been On Again Off Again...
Hi -

I am frontloading my I-129F application. My fiance and I have been in an on and off relationship for 8 years. Our email correspondence reflects the ups and downs of our relationship. I am not sure if I should only include examples of emails when we are getting along perfectly or if I should also include the emails where we are doing poorly and working out our differences. We were broken up for a two year period and I was going to include the emails where we decide to get back together. I thought that would be an important detail for our case considering a natural question will be - why didn't you get married sooner? or why are you getting back together? However, there are a lot of reasons we didn't get married sooner that aren't related to our disagreements, such as my fiance's ailing mother, his children etc. Perhaps it would be better to leave the rocky parts of our relationship out of the application?

Does anybody have any advice here?

Thanks.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)AP in Cairo - 2 months and still waiting

No they did not keep his passports and he was not asked for any documents. The interview went very well and it was very short. They did not ask for any evidence of or relationship. We have no idea why we are in AP really. I have 2 congress men working on the case and they haven't received any answers.



SENATOR or congress man can't do nothing to help.even An immigration attorney.All of them tried hard to help us but nothing happen on our case.
All what we have to do is to pray hard and be patient and wait.Love will winn and this AP will finish one day

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)AP in Cairo - 2 months and still waiting

My husband's interview went the exact same way and they told him AP should take only a few weeks. Now we have been in AP for 10 months. This is the hardest part of the process. I hope it ends for both of us soon.



did they ask him ti submit aditional documents? and did they kept his passport?
the problem is that they dont tell why they put pple under Administrative Processing.
MY FIANCE asked an imigration attorney in USA and he told him to wait and wait ,coz we can't do anything when we are under AP
HOPE THIS WILL GET OVER SOON

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)AP in Cairo - 2 months and still waiting

My fiance was put on AP after his interview in Cairo on January 10th. According to him, the interview went well and the CO did not ask to see any of his evidence or paperwork (barely asked any questions either). It has been two months now and there is no news. I tried calling the Department of State today and of course the representative couldn't tell me anything except that the administrative processing is still pending. Honestly, it has been harder waiting these two months then most of the rest of the process because how close we are to the finish line of this journey. Next week it will be exactly a year since our NOA1 date.

I have noticed on VJ that most people from Cairo that got AP and did not get their visa issued within the first two months of AP usually wait 6+ months for the visa. Is this true? Should I be preparing myself (mentally and emotionally) for another 6 months to a year of waiting?

I am really sad right now and I just wish there was something I could do or at least be told how long we will be stuck in AP.



am under AP for 3 months now,i had my interview december27TH 2012,and after the interview they kêpt all my documents and they kept my passport to,and said to wait them to call me.now am waiting and waiting......

CaribbeanCuba To Do List btwn receiving Case Number and Interview

Hi - I have my NOA2 and I am awaiting to be assigned a case number. Once that happens I am not clear on the exact sequence of events specific to Cuba between receiving a case number and going to the interview. So far this is what I understand:

 

#1) Obtain Case Number

#2) Fiance beneficiary in Cuba is notified via mail

#3) Fiance beneficiary can go pick up packet3

#4) Fiance beneficiary must have Passport

#5) With Passport and packet3 filled out fiance beneficiary can apply for an interview date

#6) Interview date is assigned

#7) Fiance needs to prepare official medical exam, DS-156 form, proof on on-going relationship and proof of petitioner's ability to support them

#8) Go to interview

 

Am I missing anything significant here? Is there a page where all this is listed specifically in reference to Cuba?

 

Thanks.
