K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNewbie question about filing K1 visa
QUOTE (Karin und Otto @ May 17 2009, 02:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
There is truly no real reason (other than personal) to use an express courier (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc). Most folks do perfectly fine using USPS.

I personally recommend using USPS Priority mail with delivery confirmation though.

good.gif



good.gif definitely the delivery confirmation!! You want proof that it got there!! USPS is fine.

Walked out of the Vancouver consulate with the VISA in my hand and the sealed envelope that says DO NOT OPEN!! All very relieving after being extrememly exhausted and freaking out with the interview on Tuesday, medical on Wednesday and an interviewer who was not at all pleasant!!!

Anyways I am waiting for my flight back home and I think this calls for a few hhhummhumm *cough*....beverages....!! I was ALL smiles after 2:45pm this afternoon!! Nothing is going to bring me down!

Now to start planning the final details of the wedding that is coming up sooner than later!! kicking.gif biggrin.gif kicking.gif jest.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshow much money you spend on your wedding just curios
I can't even begin to imagine the cost. Way too much..that's for sure! I wanted the bare minimum, but he wants it all. He's never been married. (this is my 3rd). Sooooooo I'm doing it for him. Church is nothing, as it's the church he attends, (and mine once I move)but, flowers, reception goodies, invitations, etc. Photographer is probably most expensive. My dress...very simple, NOT really a wedding dress per se, but classy. It's being made...and the material was $2.99/yard and I needed 5 yards!! So probably my dress cost me about $23...LOL..not bad!! I guess we're looking at a few thousand....

Thank you so much!! What a relief to finally have it done!

I had my interview on the 23rd, and the medical on the 24th. I got to the consulate on time, and there were only 2 others waiting. So the whole thing from start to finish took about 1 1/2 hours. Handed in my forms etc, was told to wait for a bit, did fingerprints. Then they started calling everyone for interviews. I was last. Not too sure how the other two went, but one girl left not really looking happy. sad.gif I hope everything works out for her. She was so upset, she left the "do not exit" door!

Ok...my turn. Had the woman interviewer. Hong. Basic questions..."when did you meet?; when did you get engaged? What does he do? What do you do?" very simple. When I told her I worked for Curves, she says..."ohhhhh I got to get into fitness, I'm getting fat!!" rofl.gif I love those reactions! But then it was "what does he do?" that I thought..."oh oh...here we go"...

I told her Tim used to be a jeweler, but retired in 2007. She say, oh how much does he make? *Getting real nervous here*..."about 13,00/ month almost 15,000/year." She looks at me and say, "that's not very much! How are you going to live?" So I said that he has an IRA over $15, 000 plus owns his own home. And I will be selling mine for $195,000. She asked how much equity in the house of mine, and I told her all of it, because I'm a widow, and the mortgage was paid off after my husband died. She was VERY satisfied with that!!!!! It's important to note, we DID NOT have co sponsors. Tim wanted to do this all on his own. She also asked if I was going to work, when I can legally, and I said I MAY look for something, but I'm going to enjoy the break!! (which is not a lie!! I don't know about working yet..lol)

So then she says....."So Tim was a jeweler right? Does he know how I can get real coral earrings???" rofl.gif I couldn't believe it!! We're talking about my future, and she's talking about earrings!!! She said she's tried everywhere even online, and having a hard time. I told her I'll ask him...lol. "Well, everything is good here, and approved, pending the medical." kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

The medical went very well too. Got there early, was one of the first 4, but somehow a family slipped in front, *shrugs* and I ended up number 6. Oh well. Blood work, (hate needles) x ray, and WAIT!! Finally I get called, Doctor comes in. She's very nice!! wish she could be my personal doctor. She had a way of putting me at ease. I knew I would pass, but all of a sudden I was scared I'd be unhealthy!!! blink.gif Oh...and it poured in Vancouver and I forgot my jacket!! So I was soaked when I got back to the hotel! Picked up my results, took them to the Consulate, talked with the assistant there, (can't remember his name) he looked at the results, gave me back the x ray, (gee thanks) said "you're healthy!" "are you sure..with all this stress??" So they'll have to mail me back everything, as I could wait another day to pick it up. I should get it next week dancin5hr.gif

When I called Tim to tell him, (and he knew I'd pass my medical) he just wept!! He was so happy. We were very concerned about the financial part. Then I told him about the earrings, and he said to give her his email, and send a picture of what she wants, and he'd make it for her!!! Now..I don't know if she will or not, but I did send a note along with those instructions. laughing.gif

It was soooo easy. Both the interview and the medical. Now to sell my house, and find a home for my dog. (for various reasons, it's just too hard to take her) I can' believe I'm moving in less than two months!!! August 18th is moving day! Wow...am I dreaming..... wub.gif

QUOTE (Bobby_Umit @ Jul 8 2009, 09:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Umit went for her visa tis morning, 0830.

They made her wait for 90 mins before doing the interview, then she was called into the interview room.

Woman CO, Umit started to speak Turkish, but the woman asked if they could speak in English, which Umit switched over to.

Questions asked:
1. How did you meet?
2. How did you get engaged?
3. Petitioners work and age?
4. How many times have we met in person?
5. When will benificary go to America?

Then the woman looked at our chat logs (MSN), pictures, and petitioners passport copies (all pages smile.gif) - and said, "congratdulations, you will be getting your visa in 3-5 days" (they send them UPS)

Interview was about 30 mins. No AP (I didn't expect any since Umit has a 10 year visitors visa and she is a woman).

Thanks to this site, had all my ducks in a row - no issues at all with the paperwork (RFE) or any other time wasting issues !


Now on to the travel to the US and marriage...
