K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNoA1 Came in, well, two of them did. But now what?

A second letter of intent with newer date is needed @ interview. Have you sent her/him a copy of the packet you sent in with your i-129f and the "originals" of documents you submitted (ex. Divorce paper)? With the i134 send pay stubs, bank records, tax transcripts, letter from employer. And phone records, emails, etc after you filed the petition showing the relationship is still continuing.



I see. Alright I will do that. Thank you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNoA1 Came in, well, two of them did. But now what?

Ohhhh..

Okay. Changing answers :P

1. You should many copies of this NOA2. Scanned copies, photocopies etc etc. This NOA2 is VERY important come AOS time (when in the US).
2. It took maybe a month for us to get the letter (USC got it in the mail). Some people call. I didn't waste time/money.
3. Website won't update. You will get something in the mail with a barcode and the case number for the beneficiaries country on it
4. As before, foreigner does this. You should complete the I-134 (if you haven't already) and send that to her, as well as the your further letter of intent... and I think something else... You will most likely get P3 via email but this differs country to country.




I filled out a I-134 for her tourist visa that she got in June or so (and used in July for 3 weeks) I will just edit that form (PDF file on my PC) for our fiancee visa. Further letter of intent? I haven't heard about this... is it pretty much a letter explaining How we met, and what we plan to do once she gets here? Because that's included in the packet already along with evidence of our meeting within 2 years. and that one thing you didnt remember what it was.... how 'bout...now? :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNoA1 Came in, well, two of them did. But now what?

1. You wait. Around 5 months at the moment from reports, until you will get "petition approval" (NOA2) and then NVC will send you a letter with your case number
2. Not for around 6 months or so
3. Some people do. I just waited till my fiance (USC) got it in the mail.
4. You don't fill them out. That's the foreign beneficiaries "job". That's the visa stage and it's all about her. You will complete an I-134, and help with relationship evidence. That's it.



See post right above yours! ^^^

Also, updated timeline.

good luck on your journey!



AHHHH NOOOOO hopefully someone sees this (or i'll just redo the thread) haha I meant NoA2 not 1 ^_^ sorry about that. We got NoA1 back in April.

I received two copies in the mail yesterday. One was dated the 17th, one was dated the 18th. Well, that's just a mistake I'm guessing. Anyways, where do I go from here? When will I get my case number from NVC? Do i have to call somewhere to get it, or will the USCIS website have an update with further instructions? What about these next packets, 3 and 4? When do i fill those out?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk-1 petition approved, just a question about what's coming in the mail

Dont worry they will not mail her anything regarding the noa2 petition approval, she will be contacted after NVC sent your petition to Embassy and they have a case number for you. Good luck



Another question; is the interview that's coming up for her (in poland) or for me, here in the US, or is there one for both of us in our respective countries?
Andrew+JagaMalePoland2012-10-20 18:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk-1 petition approved, just a question about what's coming in the mail
So we filed April 13th, and we got accepted as of 3 days ago. Now, the NoA2 is in the mail, should my fiance (who lives in Poland) be expecting to get something in the mail? If not yet, then at what point will SHE be contacted throughout this process?

Thanks in advance.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 and I-864 Do my bank statments need to be current or a few months old is fine?
I didnt want to make a new topic, for this next quick question.

Do i need to fill both of those forms out and then send them to her? Or just one, and if just one, which one? thanks.

To clarify, i think she read somewhere that she needs to send both, it's not an official statement. What did you guys do?

:thumbs:

If you did decide to throw bank statements in, the most recent would be the most relevant as you are proving your current income and/or assets


ahhhh you guys are awesome, thanks.

I-134 and I-864 when Fiance is sending out her packet after NoA2 -- they're asking for her to send out a I-864 and I-134 along with the packet she got when she got her case number... now, i had about $10,000 when we began to petition for the fiancee visa, and then bought a car. Now i stand at around $2,000 in my savings which isnt much at all.... when i fill out the forms should i just add old statements, or a current one.... or does it not even matter because i make abover the 125% requirement?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhich originals of documents to send to my fiancee?

My fiance just sent the photocopy of his passport stamp stating how many times he visited me in the PHIL. :)



ah understood. thanks.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhich originals of documents to send to my fiancee?

Original hardcopy of your NOA1, NOA2, I-134 with your signature, photo copy your visa or passport stamp should be okay. Just the major documents need to be original.

Good luck and God bless! :)



To Lia & Steven -- photo copy of visa or passport stamp? I can do all the other things no problem but that part confused me a little bit. (im a citizen, so i dont have a visa or passport stamp..)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresafter NoA2, Sending out things to fiance.. questions

The copy to fiancee is a safeguard. For what is worth, Warszawa is not a difficult consulate/embassy. Our experience at the interview was 10 minutes: 3 questions; seems to me they had already made their decision before the interview happened and the interview was just a formality. Other couples here had similar experience. They did return the pictures I had sent with the original 129F. As in your case, my now spouse had been here on a tourist visa and we included those pics (I selected the ones where the background was obviously here).



So glad to hear this :) thanks a ton!!

I will also print out the other W2's as stated above and send those out :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresafter NoA2, Sending out things to fiance.. questions
Alright so i'm following the link: http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide

I didnt know about this place when i started the whole i-129f process back in April, so i didn't know i had to make a copy of the initial packet i sent out in April! I have a lot of it on my computer as PDF files and such, but it says to (now) send my fiance a copy of the packet! I'm not sure which pictures i included as supporting evidence, i sent out ticket stubs for when we met in December (i don't have copies of those)... I can print out the completed forms I-129f, G-325a for me and her, but i would have to re-sign them and re-date them, and I'm not sure what dates i put on the originals i sent out!! :wacko:

Do i just include what i have? should i re date the forms with dates from the time i was filling them out (won't be accurate) I don't want it looking shady...


What im sending out so far:

1) Copy of the Original 1st packet (won't be complete as stated above)
2) A new letter of intent for our plans, (current date)
3) 1-134 with 5 pay stubs (USMC LES statements), a W2 from last year, and I'll get my CO or Ssgt to write me a "letter from employer"
4) Original NoA1 and NoA2 along with their envelopes.. (if it matters)
5) Proof of relationship continuing
- A screenshot of Skype and Facebook conversations 1 for every month, May - November
- Jaga came here to the US on a tourist visa, I'll include 15 pictures of us together here in the US.
- to the interview she'll bring her passport with the visa still in there and a flight itinerary from her trip.
- For Christmas leave I'm going to Poland so, a copy of my flight itinerary that i have for this upcoming December.

What else?!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresINQUIRY K1

If i am denied my right to have a visa and marry my fiance, is there a law that the consulate will have broken? and if possible is it ok to take them to courts of laws in the USA and compensate for the stress and the long wait they have placed on our happiness?



lol. just do everything right and they won't deny you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresImportant Note: The NVC cannot accept Form I-134 for immigrant visa processing.

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2994.html#8

The K-1 is considered a nonimmigrant visa. It's best to check with your particular consulate in the matter, but I-134 is generally the form to be presented for a K-1 interview. The I-864 will be used in the Adjustment of Status. If you were filing an IR-1/CR1 visa for a spouse. That would be considered an immigrant visa and I-864 would be used only.


alright thank you.

http://travel.state....forms_1342.html (bottom of page)

Important Note: The NVC cannot accept Form I-134 for immigrant visa processing. The NVC only accepts the appropriate I-864 form(s) listed above.

there just seems to be a ton of frustrating conflicting information everywhere ugh.. so do i still send out the i-134 to my fiance as visa journey suggests, or do i follow those instructions and fill out the I-864 instead??

(after i got the NoA2) My girl (in Poland) received DS-230 and some instructions, she followed the instructions they sent - which said to not send any documents other than ds230 and IVF04. Was that our packet 3?? it seems incomplete.

The extra line in the oath statement paragraph is just that, an extra line. You do not need to put anything there. Just sign and date where it asks.


thanks for that. i initialed it last night and sent out the packet today earlier :)

When you go to the PDF file at the end of the form, page 2 pretty much, there is a spot where you can write something in the PDF form but it doesnt state if it should be blank or a signature or initials or... what?

check it out: http://www.visajourn.../Form-I-134.pdf the blue editable box under "am aware of mine" above the date. should i sign it there, and where it says "signature" or just leave that blue spot empty?

I know there's a few Polish couples on here that went through this process, what questions should we expect from the interviewer? I remember seeing one of you say there were only about 3 questions, and it seemed as if heir decision was already made before the interview even started. Can't find who wrote this, so i figured I'd ask.

yea, I think they meant that it takes longer to 'put the case into the system' , not the updates itself. I could check my status like 3 weeks after I got NOA1. Other updates on our case were very up-to-date.
