K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 APPROVED after 141 days
Really, the Immigration is unpredictable! They touched us on Friday the 4th but no approval emails. I felt silly to check again my emails on Sunday but I was inspired... the email we waited so much has been sent few hours ago!!!!!!!

It says that they approved us on Friday the 4th... I don't know why we received their email on Sunday but I couldn't care less...

Things are moving!

I wish the same kind of touch for everybody...

MANY MANY THANKS to all for your support and advices: it helps a lot! good.gif

Thank you! fingers are crossed our file is already on its way to the Embassy! wink.gif

You can call NVC at 603-334-0700, 1, 5 to speak to someone. Make sure you talk to someone because K1s are not entered into the automated system.

Good luck!!!

Stupid question but is it possible to know if the National Immigration Service has our application and if they already sent it to the Embassy with the A# number on the NOA2 letter?

Many thanks!

Just back from the Embassy! We have been approved! I still have to wait two days to get the visa in hands but that's it! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

They didn't ask for evidence of ongoing relationship... the only question was "how do you like Houston" (as it is where my fiance lives)...

I wish you all the same kind of interview with people as nice as those in Belgium!

Good luck to all!

Hi!

This is a great idea... We sent the I-129F package on 8/17...

As my fiancé is on business travel since 8/18, fingers are crossed that he will find an acknoledge of receipt waiting for him in the mail box once he is back home...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForm G-325A: applicant's residence & employement
Do I have to add in my application for the K1 visa a letter from my landlord and employers as a proof or is it enough just to list them in the Form G-325A?
How should I know the Alien register number & File number to write in the Form as it has to be sent with the Form I-129F?
As we will send the application in Texas, is it at that address we have to send the cheque?

Many thanks for your help... as we are starting the procedure, we are a little bit lost!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLost with the Form G-325A
THANK YOU!


Do not leave it blank. If you you dont have an A#, put 'none'



Many thanks... :blush:


I am Belgian and live in Brussels and my fiancé is American and lives in Houston.

We will apply for the K1 visa and I thought that the procedure was:

- He has to send a petition for a fiancée Visa at the Texas Service Center that includes the Form I-129F and the Form G-325A.

In the Form G-325A, we have to list the applicant's residence & employment last five years. Is it enough to list them or do we have to provide a letter from landlords, employers that certify what is in the Form?

What is the Alien Registration Number? the number on my ID or my passport number?

Many thanks again to help us!


You wont have an alien registration number unless you have been to the US before on something other than a tourist visa. Just leave it blank.

Just list then. They will verify with any records or background information they have.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSworn translation
As I am applying for a K1 Visa, do I have to translate all documents (birth certificate & police certificate) by a sworn translator (is it ok if the translator is not a sworn one?) and is it good enough to ask for an international birth certificate?
I know, I still have a lot of time before my interview...


QUOTE (Len_and_Bren @ Aug 23 2007, 11:33 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
A lot also depends on what you're applying for (which you don't specify). If the process will result in a K non-immigrant visa, DO translate your documents, since I think you will need them for the AoS process. If your process is after an immigrant visa and you're dealing exclusively with the consulate (i.e. DCF); then you should be fine with the official languages.
your best bet is always to contact the consulate directly. Good luck!!!

I am Belgian and I read on the US Ambassy Website in Belgium that they accept documents in the national languages of my country (French, Deutch and German)

Do I need to translate the Birth certificate and the Police certificate anyway because I will have to provide them on a further step (as ajustment of status once married)?

Many thanks for tyour great help! helpsmilie.gif

Greedy,

If Belgium is similar to Germany (and I believe they are), the answer is no, you should not have to have your police report and/or birth certificate translated (assuming you are only submitting Belgian police reports and/or birth certificate - if submitting any from other countries/languages, you will likely have to have them translated...).

If it were me, and I were you however (and both Karin and I did this, since we were both born in Germany), I would (if possible) obtain an International Birth Certificate (and maybe a back up copy) for use in the US. You probably wont need it for your interview there, but it might come in handy in the US - plus it will be much easier to obtain while you are still in country.

Also, it is not likely you will need a translated (or otherwise) police report once you are here in the US...

Hope this helps good.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
Hi!

I am visiting now (with a VWP) my fiance in Houston and thanks to this forum I travelled with those documents to be sure they let me in at POE:

- a copy of my employee contract
- a letter form the HR to attest I am on Holidays and they expect my return at work on January the 3rd
- a letter from my bank saying I have an open bank account that is running properly with a monthly permanent order for my rent
- a letter from my landlord that certifies I rent one of her apartments...
- a letter from my insurance company that lists all my insurances as car, health...
- a copy of NOA1 and the application we sent

Even with all those documents with me I was scared to death they will deny me at the airport because of all bad stories I read... and because all together I have been here 4 months in total this year...

The person before me in the queue has been asked to follow an officer to another room for further questions and the guy held her passport in a yellow envelope... my hart was beating so hard and I was praying not to be asked to follow the same officer too but it went so well!

I was asked the purpose of my visit. I said: to visit my fiance.
Then he asked me how long I am going to stay: 3 weeks.
And last question: when was the last time I came in? May.

That was it!

I am so happy to be back here and spend the Christmas holidays with my love... it is so good to see him again!

I really hope it will be that easy for anybody who decides to visit his/her love during the K1 process... It worth it!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFilling for IR-1 / CR-1, how to get help in Belgium

Hello to all of you, 

 

my husband is an american citizen and living currently with me in Brussels, Belgium. We would want to move back to the US together and we started the process of filling the I-130 along with the G-325 and the other basic documents needed. Most of you know it is a pretty stressful operation and what is making it a challenge for me is the sum of contradictory informations I hear here and there. Has anyone from Belgium been through this? I'd like to have some more precise informations on how the embassy here in Brussels could help and a place where I could ask questions.

 

Thank you!

 

Anne-Lise
