K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice Certificate Question
Hi!
K1 visa
We have just got engaged . My fiance will start the process end on january sending the 129-F.
Since Ive heard the police certificate takes a long time to arrive in Brazil I intend to request it the soonest.

What are you filling for? k1, k3 or cr1? What part of the process are you?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice Certificate Question
Hey,
I am Brazilian and I hve lived in Israel for 4 years . Ive heard that the police certificate may take 4-5 months to arrive from Israel to their Embassy in Brasil.
The Israeli Embassy said they wl forward the certificate to the American Consulate in Rio when the certificate arrives. Question is how will the american consulate know this doc belongs to me? What happens if the doc arrives before tehy know I exist?
Shouldnt I present it at the interview together with all other docs?
Anyone with the same situation?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfilling I-129F
Hi Bernie,
Thanks for yr reply..thats the way I feel..
Someone (sleepy) would think my middle name is "NONE"...thats all my concern..
I am wondering if anyone has left it open ..

Best regards,
Ilana


I would leave it blank. Your other documents, passport, birth certificate will validate it.

I can imagine some moron entering data and typing in "none" as your middle name. Then you have documents that dont jive. May sound stupid but in the world of strange names and speed entry of data you never know.

If you not comfortable with that, I'd go with N/A - at least theres a slash to catch someones attention!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK2 - Filling I-129F
Hi Gary,
My two other kids are married and will not travel with me.
It was a bit confusing because I understood that on the I-129F he would have to mention the name of the child who will receive a K2 visa.
Now I realize that he has to mention all of my kids regardless of who will travel with me.
I realize I will have to mention that at the interview..right?
Regards,


It is not confusing at all. They can receive a visa from YOUR petition, that means ONE petition and it specifically states for the US CITIZEN to list their names on that petition. The I-129f petition has a space for listing names of children. What is confusing?


IBLPFemaleBrazil2010-02-04 12:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK2 - Filling I-129F
Hi!
Thanks for the answer..I was reading the following:
"Children Have Derivative Status

The child of a fiancé(e) may receive a derivative K-2 visa from his/her parent’s fiancé(e) petition. You, the American citizen petitioner, must make sure that you name the child in the I-129F petition".

So according to the above it makes it very confused.
Don't u think?

You don't mention that on the I-129F. Complete all your children's names and when you get to the interview stage at the embassy, they'll take your K2 application for just your daughter at that time.

Make sure you have all the necessary documents for applying for a K2, including a letter of authorisation for permanent relocation in the US from her biological father.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSpecific Questions
Hi
My fiance has just sent the I-129F yesterday and I also dont have a middle name. We preffered to put N/A because. I was told they may think NONE is my middlle name. On the G325A I have handwritten no middle name.

Hey everyone! I'm new here, and just starting the K1 process... My fiance is originally from Rwanda, but we're both living in Botswana, Africa at the moment. We each have pretty limited internet access, which makes this that much more interesting. I'm sorry if some of these have been asked many times before, but I'm hoping someone out there can help!

1) My fiance has no middle name. Should I put "None?" I'm just afraid they'll think that IS his name.
2) I've heard from other people who have filed that they did a criminal background check for their foreign fiance. I can't find any mention of it on the forms or on VJ. Am I missing something?
3) For proof of meeting, can we send in copies of our individual Botswana resident permits? Will that prove that we both live in the same country?
4) As for addresses, can we put down a PO Box? That's how all mail is delivered in Botswana.
5) If a parent is deceased, how should we handle their "current residence" on the G325a? Leave it blank? Write "deceased?"
6) How specific should we be on our occupations on the G325a's? For example, can I just write Teacher or Coach? Or should I put what he teaches or what he coaches?

...and lastly...
7) My fiance technically has refugee status in Botswana. Will this slow down the process or hinder us in any way? For instance, we don't have his birth certificate or immunization records or any of that...

Thanks for any and all advice!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestravel to mexico prior to marriage
Thanks Bernie!!!

You cannot enter the US then fly to Mexico. When an international flight arrives to the US all passengers must pass through CBP. At that point you would use your single entry for the K1. Now it might be an option to fly first to Mexico and then to the US afterwards. You'd both have to make sure you had all your documents required to enter Mexico as visitors and then make sure you also divulge that information on your papers when you enter the US.

Not sure how a "pit stop" in the middle works - never gave it a thought. We transferred in Tokyo from Ho Chi Minh City and entered POE Detroit. Never gave it a thought to spend a weekend in Tokyo really we just wanted to get here and get some rest.

Hope eveything works out for whatever plans you decide on - Good Luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestravel to mexico prior to marriage
Hi there!
Me and my american fiance were thinking about the same..to meet in Mexico since it is not recommended to meet in the US before K1 is granted..
I would like to know if anybody knows if there is a problem just making a connection in the US and continuing to Mexico..
Thanks!

My fiance has her K-1 visa issued in peru. She and I want to travel to mexico before getting married.
I read in the notes on this site that this has been done as long as the I-94 is not surrendered at the border and you dont fly there.
Has anyone had else tried this successfully?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMiddle name?
I don´t have a middle name.
On 129F we put N/A and on my G325-A I wrote " no middle name"
I suggest you don´t write NONE.

I suggest you better wait until you get the birth certificate, if has no middle name better to put N/A

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTraveling out of USA to visit fiance - Questions
Hello K and L,

Please explain why a RFE is time sensitive..
In case we get one is there a time limit to send it back to USCIS?
Thanks!


You should let them know before you go, in case you get a RFE, as RFEs are time sensitive. Your case will be close to being done while you're gone.

If you have no RFEs, there's nothing more on your end - they send you some snail mail (NOA2, NVC).

The NOA2 is just a notice like the NOA1.


Bringing the documentation is a good idea. He'll need it for packet 3 IIRC. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDivorce Decree or Divorce Cert
It looks like we wl have to wait for the "cheese" to resend it...
Thank u all for the information and yr time
Wish u all the best..

:blush:

I just sent in my I-129F. I had a copy of the signature page that stated divorce decree was official, but it was not the final version with county clerk filing date stamp. And when a lawyer I had helping me reviewed it he pointed it out as likely red flag.

So even though it ended up delaying my sending in the I-129F by 3 weeks, as it turned out, I called the county/court clerk and requested an official certified copy of the divorce decree.

Mine is several pages long, has the final decree page with all official signatures including filing date stamp of the clerk's office and it says "certified" copy and signed by clerk, and has a gold seal stuck on the spot where the photocopied seal is.

It looks real cheesy, like a gold embossed stamp I coulda got from K-mart, but it's what they give. So I photocopied that and included it in the I-129F application. And I will bring the original with the cheesy gold stamp to our interview.

Hey Johnny,
You brought me some hope..
Ive been reading so many different things here..especially when it goes to certificate x decree..sealed not sealed..certified or not..
Thanks anyway for yr time..

A

That's exactly what I used. Just a 4 page decree with a Judge's signature and dates on the last page. No special seals or anything. I ordered a certifcate last month from the State's vital records office, after I filed the I-129F. Didn't get an RFE. I never got a "certifcate" when I was divorced, just the decree. We didn't even know certifcates were available. So, I'll send decree and certifcate to my fiancee for her interview in case they ask her for it.

Thank you guys..

In Brazil we have only one single paper with the stamp and the seal from the oficial translator..

My American fiance sent his with several pages..but with no stamp/seal on the last page. It was signed by the judge and filed with the County Clerk of the County where the decree was issued.
We fear we will get a RFE since there were no stamps on it.
He decided to request one month ago the final decree from the court in CT..hope this one will work. I heard also that this doc has to be certified..question is since this is coming from the court isnt it certified already..???

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFROM USCIS - MAY BE USEFULL
Dear all,
I found this below and I am sure this may be a usefull info for those like me are about to send the forms:

In preparing your packet, please take note of the following:

*
Do not use binders or folders that cannot be easily disassembled.
*
Use ACCO fasteners to hold together thick or bulky applications or petitions. Two-hole punching the top of the material for easy placement in the file is appreciated.
*
The use of tabs assist in locating items listed as attachments. The tabs should be placed on the bottom and not the side for ease in filing.
*
Avoid using heavy-duty staples; instead use ACCO fasteners or heavy clips

ps: I also found that you have to date and sign ANY sheet of yr supplements attached..

We filed for my I-130 on April and still no NOA1...we call USCIS and after long time waiting on line they told us they will send us another copy. It's been more then a month! I'm start to worry about this delay!!! I'm waiting for the NOA so I can file for the I-129... :angry: Anybody else waiting since april???

Spoiler


Yeah, a lot of people are in the same boat, it's annoying, but what can you do? I'm going to call them today and get another copy of the NOA1 sent out because I never got mine either, and I filed AGES ago.


You should definitely follow up. You sent your I130 the same day as me, and I got my NOA1 3 and half weeks ago. Most people on the April Filers K3 thread experienced the delay with receiving the I130 NOA1s, but most of us have now gotten ours:
