K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWill I have a problem with my K1 if we signed it 4 months ago?

When I submitted my petition in September, my fiance's signature's were all from the beginning of July. I just updated all of my forms with new signatures and included a statement on my cover letter that I was aware of the date difference and was happy to resubmit new documents with more recent signatures if required. We were approved with no RFE.

Not sure since you have a greater time difference, but you could always submit them and hope for the best.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Questions!

Check out this: http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide

And this: http://www.visajourn...complete-guide/

 

You file the petition, your fiance applies for the visa in England. The affidavit of support is filed at the interview at the consulate in London. I believe 20k is enough without having to use your savings.

 

Your fiance will go to the interview after your petition is approved by USCIS, you're assigned a case number by the State Department, he has applied for the Visa online and attended/passed a medical.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTax return forms don't match up with Work history

London isn't going to care about jobs you don't work anymore. As long as you have pay stubs for your current job showing you make more than 125% of the poverty level, that is all they will take from you. You're stressing yourself out unnecessarily.

 

But no. They're not going to penalize you for putting McDonalds instead of the name of the franchise owner.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDeferred K1 Visa ---PlS Help desperate may lose job

I think the easiest thing would be to contact the Embassy and ask for them to move your interview. I've never heard of them delaying the visa issuance, but who knows.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs there no problem if I can go to my home country before going to u.s.

AP is Advance Parole. You can submit your application for AP with your AOS packet. Usually takes about three months or so to get it, and then you can travel outside the US before you get your green card.

It's perfectly fine to go SA - PI - US. Just don't enter the US and then leave without adjusting your status or having AP.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow do we get an NVC case number?
When you call the first time you only need both names and birthdates and your SRC receipt number.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting Married abroad using Advance Parole
You're looking at about five months processing for the I-129f, unless you're lucky. Then a month or two for the NVC, then another two-ish months to get to the interview. THEN you have to account for administrative processing that may occur. There's no time limit for that. That's a very conservative estimate.

After you arrive stateside you have 90 days to marry, then AP takes another 90-120 days.

I'm not sure your timeline will work.

I will say it has been taking about three months for most petitions to be approved lately. And my fiancé was through the interview and stateside just at six months. We were lucky.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWho informs us of our interview date?
Not sure about China specifically, but everything is usually done by snail mail.

Why haven't you sent USCIS a change of address notification?

My husband's signatures were done more than 30 days before I sent it. No RFE. I put a note on the cover letter that explained.

CanadaAlright... who else is trying to schedule an interview at MTL?
When you do schedule, do you mind letting us know when your interview date is? I'm still waiting on NOA2 so I know I have a long wait. I'm just curious about how far out they are scheduling. Last I checked I think it was around December 18th?

Good luck! I hope some open up for you soon!

CanadaChanges in Montreal Packet 3?

Aw man, I hope we didn't do it wrong! We mailed the checklist AND the four forms listed. UPS confirmed delivery yesterday around noon. I guess we will just wait and see if they send out packet four.

Thank you both for your responses! Called today and was told that Packet 3 was mailed out yesterday! I guess I'll mail in all of the forms on Monday.

CanadaChanges in Montreal Packet 3?

Hey y'all!

 

According to the nice man from DOS, our packet has been logged into the system at Montreal. I have read that some people choose to go ahead and submit packet 3 without waiting for a hard-copy letter (that may never come anyway).

 

The guy from DOS said that they are making changes to the Packet 3 requirements. I seem to have read something about eliminating some forms and replacing them with just the DS-160. 

 

My question is this... Should we go ahead and submit the DS-230, DS-156, and DS-156K along with the DS-160? Even though they might not be required? Or should we wait to see if any other changes are being made?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

Good luck to everyone!

CanadaMontreal Interview Dates
Just make sure to have everything ready for the interview! Our original interview date was March 26th, but we snagged January 9th due to a cancellation. We had a bit of a scramble to get everything ready in time. Good luck!

Yep, that is the address I used, and received my NOA1 just a few days later.

Not sure if this matters, but I wrote...

Attn: I-129F Original Submission

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this envelop condition normal for Final Visa Documents ?

 

He should really go to his embassy and ask for a new envelope.

 

Thanks for the reply - if we had more time that's absolutely what we would have done. He booked the flight before he really inspected the envelope. He said everything came in a Loomis bag which he did not open until later. Mistake on our part for sure.

 

 

Luckily he made it through Toronto this morning and will be here at 5 o'clock today! But I wouldn't advise anyone else to take that risk - if you can take it to the embassy to get it resealed then do it for sure!

Our envelope has a rip. It looks like it busted open. My fiance picked up his visa this morning and booked his flight for tomorrow. We're just going to take our chances. It's so nervewracking to be this close!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI need opinions on Relationship Progression Timeline
I did a narrative that briefly described the progression of our relationship similar to SennaBrigante's.

I also did a timeline of our visits and major events (like the proposal). I formatted it like the outline to an essay with short phrases and bulleted lists. I listed the event and then to the side listed corresponding evidence. Something like...

"15 June 2013 - Vacation together in Iceland
- Photos
- Copies of boarding passes
- Copies of passport pages"

I then included copies in order of the timeline. It was SO helpful to ME because it helped me organize all of our evidence. This may be too much for some (front loading? I'm not sure), but we were approved!

Good luck to you!
