K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat does the 'meeting in person in the last 2 years' mean?
You have to have met in person within the last two years of filing for the K-1 visa. Say you filed in August 2008, you need to have met at least once between Aug 06 and Aug 08. I would suggest that you make the effort in meeting before you file.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion 10 on the I-129F: Birth Cert number AND Passport number?
QUOTE (jimlyn @ Sep 9 2008, 04:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Any suggestion for this? ---->

""I am still confused...

In question#10, we checked the box-birth in the US.

What should we answer on this question? -- have you obtained a cert of citizenship in your name? Should we check NO or do we just leave it blank??

Thanks in advance...


Well on the example it says you only provide a cert number if you obtained citizenship through naturalization. So I would leave it.

If you look at the example above you only complete the certificate number if it is a naturalization certificate.

Do you mean he is the petitioner? The foreign fiance is the beneficiary. If he is the petitioner then he may need to look for a co-sponser if he doesn't have a job by the time the Affidavit of Support is completed for the interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOTARY PUBLIC !?
Is this for a K-1? If so the letters of intent do not need to be notorized. Only the I-134 does, and that's for the interview.

Hey there! I would like to know from you guys if this one if the final divorce decree or no?! I don't understand if this is just what the lawyer proposed and jusdge still have to sign it or if this is it! The lawyer told us is still waiting for a document about child support...Can you guys help me out once again?! Thank you!!! smile.gif


It looks similar to the divorce decree which my OH was issued and subsequently the one we have sent of with our I-129F.

No it shouldn't as for some people, like me, we are not sure what state we will be heading to for certain. My OH is serving oversea and has orders for a follow on to Alabama but that could change at any time.

I find that strange as you are not dealing with USCIS anymore. You are dealing with the US Embassy. Maybe he doesn't want you to see something in it or to lose it? As I said before the only envelope you are not allowed to open is the one you will receive from the embassy.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressealed divorce decree
Are you sure he's not confusing it with the brown packet you get after you have had your interview with the embassy? That's the packet you shouldn't open.

There is no reason why you can't open it as you will have to make copies of it to send to USCIS, never send the original as you will need it for the interview.

I have my partner's divorce decree at home, open. By the way his is 6 pages long. It depends on the State or country to how long they are.

My fiance calls me Mrs Beautiful Maria Nonweiler and his signature on his email goes like this:

I LOVE YOU
MISSES BEAUTIFUL MARIA
NONWEILER

I print it all like 120 copies of his emails. If they will get suspicious then will find time to read all those email and conduct further investigation. And there is your CENOMAR that will prove your Singleness. In my case they did not ask for any proofs of relationship but i have it all readied.

I dont think you have anything to be worried about, it is just a means of endearment. They will ask you if they get curious about it. So worry no more smile.gif


But he doesn't spell it Mrs on your email.

Personally I would avoid anything that will cause the CO to raise further questions.

Just want to note that expediting is for DEPLOYED Military People only. There are many of us who are lucky enough to have our military loved ones in the US right now (or even based in non-combat areas overseas) who are going to long slow route.

Good luck to all - Military or non-military.
We can but hope that someday expiditing will not be needed for anyone and no-one would have to wait and stressed for months be to able to be with the ones we love.
