US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Will going to the consulate in Juarez help?	QUOTE (Fei Hung @ Dec 9 2009, 11:02 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (boon @ Dec 9 2009, 09:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Fei Hung @ Dec 9 2009, 10:46 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oct. 9th, NVC sent out our approved petition overseas, but still, as of now, we have not received any packets or notifications about our interview. We are in dire need of help! This process appears to take more than the indicated three to six months! We called the consulate and they replied that they had just sent the packet Dec. 1st. And how long does it take for Juarez to send anywhere in Mexico? I hope that going to the consulate up front will change things. Although there are dangers in the area, is there a way to arrive safely and unharmed? Would it be a waste of money going for visa information or setting up an interview date? What is the best action to do at this time? Thanks for reading our post! Hello, It is my understanding that the forms are readily available on this website http://ciudadjuarez....ianceforms.html. Mexico does not send a packet 3, instead they send an open appointment letter advising you that they are ready for you to bring all the paperwork necessary for the interview. How did you get a hold of the Juarez consulate? Did they tell you that your open appointment letter was sent Dec 1st or what did they send to you? We did not receive an appointment letter. We called the Juarez consulate by phone and they said the letter was sent and i believe the packet also. And, if by the 21st we don't receive anything to just call again. Well if you go to the website I indicated you can fill out all the forms that your fiancee will require at the interview. What number did you call to get a hold of Juarez consulate?	boon	Male	Mexico	2009-12-09 13:05:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Marriage in Foreign Country	QUOTE (elmcitymaven @ Apr 16 2009, 07:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's understandable she would want to have a wedding at home. Why not go back to Mexico after she has her AP and have a great big lovely reception or a church blessing? She can have all the trappings of a wedding and share it with her family and friends. Thanks for the response, Yes that is what I will probably do!!!	boon	Male	Mexico	2009-04-16 21:44:00

I have never been married and my fiance has never been married either. My question is can we get married in Mexico before we get married in the US without having a negative effect on the K-1??? Does foreign marriage count??? Does it matter??? Thanks in advance. Answers to you questions are: 1) No. The K1 becomes null and void because it is a fiance visa for your Mexican fiance to marry you in America. The K1 is out the window, and you will need to start again and refile for the CR1 or a K3. 2) Yes, it certainly does count. 3) Yes, it really does matter. See #1. Why would you do this when her case is already at the consulate? You are almost done -- don't throw it all away. Okay, Thanks a lot, Yeah she wants to get married in her home country also but we will just wait until we marry in the US first.	boon	Male	Mexico	2009-04-16 21:31:00

To my knowledge you can enter through any POE (Port of Entry) into US territory. I know for fact that this is the case for land borders from Canada. I believe it is the case from Mexican border crossings as well. Okay, my question is once my fiance has made entry through a border POE, can we take a flight from lets say El Paso, TX to Phoenix, AZ without having issues?	boon	Male	Mexico	2009-04-18 22:55:00

I went ahead and called NVC back and they told me that I had some missing information on the I-129 Part C area where it asks about question 2. Have you ever been convicted by a court of law......., I thought that pertained to military service for some reason and I left it blank!!!!! My question is how did USCIS overlook this and approve my petition!!! What is my next step?? Should I send in another revised I-129 to USCIS or wait for USCIS to send an RFE??? Of course the answer to question 2 Part C is NO, but I forgot to check it. What should I do?? I was told that NVC send back the packet on May 11. Thanks an RFE was supposed to be issued for this, workers that work at USCIS are humans too and they do make mistakes so maybe thats why it was overlooked... just wait for USCIS to get it and call them to follow up, mostly likely they will issue an RFE this time... Do you have the number to call USCIS?? Thanks	boon	Male	Mexico	2009-05-13 19:02:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NVC sends back approved visa to USCIS and expires!	Hello, I applied for a K-1 Visa back in January 2009 and it was approved on March 2009. Then it sat at the NVC for about two months and after that it was sent back to USCIS for further review. When I called to find out why it was sent back they told me that I had not answered a question in Part C Question 2, the one about convictions on the I-129F (I just overlooked that question! and USCIS did too they never sent me a RFE to correct it!) OOPS. Then my packet sat with USCIS until the petition expired and I recently received a letter from USCIS NOTICE OF DECISON for the review. The letter stated that since my four months expired they would not revalidate it! It also states that I can choose to file a new I-129F. My question is how can I go about refiling? Do I need to wait a certain period of time? I know in the instructions it talks about people who have had an approved petition before need to file a waiver? What is the deal with the waiver? Thanks	boon	Male	Mexico	2009-08-04 12:40:00
