K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow did this possible?

hi if you don't mind me asking why did you get an RFE?

actually it wasn't really an rfe, i am sorry for the word i use :), our petition was rejected due to wrong amount of check, we are November filer but they rejected our docs, then we resubmit last December but USCIS got it last January, i am just so jealous with my friend, how come they got approved while she didn't sign anything nor fill up anything, that is so weird to me....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow did this possible?

No way. Probably her fiancé filled the papers for her and hold a photo from her. He did not ask for anything else because he had it before hand.

that is what i am thinking, i am still talking to her right now, all i am saying to her now is a non-stop WOW :lol: our talk started when she asked me about G-325a, her friend was asking about it, and she asked me about it because she don't know what is G-325a, i said you filed it together with the petition packet how come you don't know it? she said all i gave to my fiance is my BC he said that's all he need, i am sure she don't know the process even the forms, so now i am sooooooooooooo jealous they didn't get rfe but me and my fiance did get rfe :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow did this possible?
hello VJers i am here again, i have a fellow K1 applicant who just recently got their noa2, i was talking to her and i was so surprised and shocked, she told me all she gave to her fiance is her birth certificate, no 2x2 id pic, no letter of intent to marry, no G-325a, i am just so confused and so wondering how they got approved? i know if one thing is missing they will get rfe, but instead they got noa2 and got the hard copy both from uscis and NVC, can someone answer me how did it happen? because i feel strange now because me and my fiance got rfe but how come they didn't get one?
can she have problem on her interview?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat to do?

so for now i just have to wait or should i do something?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat to do?

So, the state department's national visa center received an approval I-129F of my petition in 8 of June. but so far here in Saudi Arabia i did not receive anything from the embassy by DHL (the packet with instruction) and me and my fiance start to getting worried :wacko:

Please if anyone can help us? and what do you suggest to do in the next step?
I don't want to miss this appointment.

thanks in advance.

edit:
is this normal? to take about a month to receive packet 3??? thanks

do you have your case # form NVC? if not you have to wait for that first, it takes 3 weeks to a month or more than a month to get case # from NVC they are so slow now

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancee pregnant
it is ok that she is pregnant while she is on her visa process. even she's still on the petition process it is ok to be pregnant, BUT if she gets her visa on her maybe 8 or 9 months of pregnancy some airline will not let her on board. if she don't get her interview date yet but already have her MNL case # i am assuming she's from Philippines, when she do her medical she have to tell them she's pregnant. i have a lot of friends that got pregnant while on visa process and a lot of them are already in US.

you should put the name of her child on the i-129f, and it is ok if you're going to put it on the cover letter it is up to you if how you're going to draft it, but for me cover letter is like table of contents :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long from NOA2 to Interview

Thanks, I dont think so, I guess they make the appointment wich is like 2 months after NOA2

oh ok :) because here in the Philippines if you are on k1 category it is the applicant who's going to set the appointment, But on cr1/ir1 category it is the NVC or USEM sets the appointment.
hcdtFemalePhilippines2012-06-20 21:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long from NOA2 to Interview

ok, thank you, but lets say I receive it 1 week later, so how long would it take? I saw a few timelines and the average time is 1 month

cheers!

for example you'll get your noa2 on september, sometime it takes forever before getting case # lets says 2 to 3 weeks to a month before getting the case #, then it is up to you if when are you going to set the interview appointment :) I just don't know in your country if you are the one who's going to set the interview appointment :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long from NOA2 to Interview

Hello you all!

I was just wondering qual long do you need to get all the papers done for the interview after you receive NOA2? Its because probably I will be on vacation visiting my fiance for 3 months and dont know when to buy the return ticket, btw, my timeline is for 24 sept, and I will be out of my country from august - end of october.

Thanks!

it depends on how fast/soon you'll get your case # from NVC after noa2 and it depends on when are you or they going to set your interview date after getting case # from NVC.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresvisa cancellation

will there be a problem if k1 visa gets cancelled?
if ever he wants to file another k1 visa after cancelling the other one is there going to be a problem?

is it the same person? i mean same beneficiary? if i am not mistaken he needs to wait 2 years before he can file another petition, if the same beneficiary i think there's still problem but need explanation why it was cancelled but lets wait for other members that is expert with your situation.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1/3 visa question

The K-3 is obsolete, so I wouldn't include that as an option. It's either K-1 or the CR-1/IR-1.

I know, i am only answering his question if what's the difference between k1 and k3, i even said on my previous comment that it is better to do the cr1 route rather than k3.
hcdtFemalePhilippines2012-07-05 07:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1/3 visa question
k1, you file for i-129f once approved and the beneficiary is in US already file for AOS(adjustment of status) and wait for GC
k3, get married file for i-130 and i-129f, once it is approved and the beneficiary is in US already file for AOS and wait for GC
cr1, get married file for i-130, once it is approved and the beneficiary is already in US all she/he needs to do is wait for her/his GC.
hcdtFemalePhilippines2012-07-05 07:14:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1/3 visa question
k1 is fiance(e), k3 is spousal but under k3 category you're still going to adjust your status when you get to US like k1, if you get married it is better to do cr1 route rather than k3 :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures221G - need to involve NVC?

Are they(the embassy) specifically asking for i-864, or is this country specific to use that instead of the i-134 like most K1 visas?

here if the primary sponsor and the co-sponsor lives in one house they fill the form i-864 and i-864a but if they live in different house both will fill i-134 :)
hcdtFemalePhilippines2012-07-05 21:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures221G - need to involve NVC?

Ok, that's what I thought. I can't help but wonder WHY this immigration lawyer recommended sending it to both the embassy and NVC...he's supposed to know this system inside out, but he seems a bit clueless. Visajourney seems to be better than any immigration lawyer =)

sometime they just want to show to their clients that they're doing something, but i have lots of friends that got stuck on their visa process because their lawyer didn't know the rules or the whole process but not all lawyer :) there are lawyers that really knows the whole process, i am so thankful in this group and the members, i got a lot of ideas :) it is the USEM who gave the 221g to your fiance not NVC. good luck :)
