Thanks guys, yea no, i remember seeing a topic about this, and was just interested to know more, maybe if they allow extra baggage haha!! Maybe it was just a Philippine thing.


Ya - the only time I have ever seen " immigration flight discounts " questions and postings it has come from the Philippine forums.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEmigrating Airline deals??

I remeber reading something on here before about special deals for people first time emigrating? Does anyone have any more information on this?

Thanks


The only place this seems to exist is if you are going to the USA from the Philippines as an immigrant. It seems some Philippine airlines may offer some type of discount but that is all.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSilly question

For some reason this question / confusion seems to come up an awful lot lately...the 134 vs 864. To my knowledge k1 still need the 134 and then the 864 later for aos after they moved.....

Have any of the consulates changed this or has uscis itself? i still see the 134 listed as needed on the various sites.




I'm not really sure because when I look on the US embassy websites like you, it still states they need 134... There have been no notices that I can find on US embassy / DOS / USCIS saying they are now using 864 and not 134 for the K-1 visa interviews.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSilly question

Thank you!! You are all awesome!! Now if you could just help me with understanding the I-864... lol!!


Why do you need help with the 864? thats not needed until after you are in the USA after you are married and when you are filing AOS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSilly question

Hi,

Now I should probably know this but I have seen on some people's timelines that is says "NVC received and NVC left" - what does it mean??

All we have had is two different letters (assuming NOA1 and 2) about moving to next stage and then I got a letter from US embassy in UK telling me to go on the website and fill a bunch of forms out to send to them and that I had 4 months to do it.

So am I missing something crucial here????

:)


No you are not. Your case is already at the US embassy - they have already requested packet 3 from you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 or not I-134
You were given bad information. You do not sent any financials or the I-134 with the I-129F package.

The I-134 and financials are sent to the beneficiary before the interview happens but after the NOA2. The beneficiary brings the papers to the US embassy for the interview and hands them over at the interview.

You will have to redo the I-134 and financials.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice clearance & medical exam

Hello, everyone,

Just a quick question. Should I get the police clearance and do the medical exam one or two months in advance prior to the interview?

Your advice and suggestion is appreciated.


For what country? you have no information,Please fill in your information and timeline. It could vary depending on what country you are talking about - some countrys take months to issue the police certificates while others take minutes.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE to NOA2?

I guess my main question isn't how long it will take but what will happen since USCIS asked for police report regarding my domestic violence case and the police department would not release the report to be due to the fact that I'm the suspect in the case. They said the need a subpoena to release the report and they stated that on a letter head.

So my question is will USCIS ask to subpoena for the paperwork or will they just accept the full certified court disposition instead?


Thats up to USCIS if they will ask for it or not. You will just have to wait and see.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChances of getting an RFE?
Odds of RFE are 50/50. For everyone.

Misspelling something, put the wrong date, forgot to sign something, they don't think your pen is real and its a photo copy. Could be any reason at all what so ever to get an RFE.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI 134 supporting documents
If you make enough money on your income alone you don't need to include any bank information.

When we had our K-1 interview he provided me with 8 LES statements leading up to the interview as well as his W2s and tax returns for the last 3 years. We didn't get any letters from command but they can help if you want to get one / can get one. There should be also a statement of position that you can print out that shows your rank and pay if you want to include that. He printed it out for me and I had it with me but they did not seem to need extra and seemed to understand his payments and the whole " looks like less because of tax free deployments ".

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEmails / Chat in Spanish

I was going to say!! I don't think Canada would have Spanish translators. But that's great I don't need a certified translation. I am more than capable of translating everything myself. If I need help my fiancé will tell me in English exactly what he wrote in Spanish. He is good at speaking in both languages but Spanish is his first language and his spelling in English is not the greatest.

So I'd rather him write properly in Spanish, than writing in broken English lol

Also another thought. For the i129f we sent a copy of my finances US birth certificate. It is in Spanish and English... That's fine, yes?


It should be since it has both on it - but can never be too sure if you get someone who is overly picky reviewing the case.
InkyFemaleCanada2012-03-17 21:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEmails / Chat in Spanish

Personally for emails and chats do not worry about translating because when the information makes it to the Embassy of the other country they have individuals who can read in the local language. Also do not forget Spanish is America's 2nd. language.

My huband is Norwegian and I asked about translating by sending a note to the embassy and they told me not to worry at all about it. The only time a translation is necessary is for marriage licenses overseas, divorce decrees in a foreign language (non-English) or for birth certificates in a foreign language.

As I am not a expert perhaps someone else can chime in and give you a better answer if mine is not correct.


Canada does not have Spanish translators on hand at their US embassys.

There is no point in trying to make things pretty and spending money on binders and folders. USCIS rips your papers out and puts them in their own folders in their own order.

I see nice thanks guys well thing is last year 2011 i am above the poverty line since i got a job after my school but taxes from the previous year 2010 i was still a student i didnt achieve it will this affect me ? because for sure this year is way more but the year before is less please advice ? should i look for a co sponsor ?


They look at the current income and current years returns. You should not need a co-sponsor.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFilling form I-134
There is no point in including anything extra if you make above 125% of the poverty guidelines with your income from your job. The rest of the form is for if you do not make it but want to use assets or savings in the bank or other things to qualify to sponsor without using a co-sponsor.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis true that as soon as you received the NOA2 approval...

he said that NOA2 is the kinda proof for them to process it. oh well not sure exactly what he was saying but it work for his sister and it only take about 3months and the petition is done...i guess whatever works right lol


An NOA2 is no proof of anything but an approved petition. The embassy has no case no file no papers nothing. They cannot do any interviews without your papers/medical/petition and case files.

What that person said is not true. You cant go directly to interview when they have none of your papers or case files.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 question

My question regarding the time constraints is a result of the fact, that it would be so much easier for me to help them fill out the forms, collect all the information and take the signed forms with me back home. I'm not sure if that's gonna be after or before my NOA2.

Cheers!


Sorry but it needs to be after the NOA2. If you do all that too soon you will get an RFE for new forms and evidence because the signatures and dates are too old.

For sure have your fiance apply for an expedite, USCIS will grant an expedite for military deployments. He may need to talk to someone on base for this, don't know the details but for sure request an expedite.... MOVE TO THE HEAD OF THE LINE!!:thumbs:


USCIS does not always grant an expedite for military deployment. There have been quite a few people on VJ who have not been granted expedite when showing proof of deployment to active combat zones.

Unlike the I-129F though, the G-325A does not have any question/item numbers. I'm just gonna indicate the item titles (e.g. Applicant's residence last five years, Full name and address of employer, etc.) in the separate sheet instead. If this is wrong, anyone feel free to correct me.


This is fine if they have no numbers just write out like you say with the titles.


You're right. We want to prepare and request for documents early though; any help with this would be appreciated.


You cannot prepare this early. If you prepare the I-134 too early you will be RFEd and end up waiting longer because they want up-to-date documents not old ones.

1, the letter of intent does not need to have a USCIS address on it. That is out dated.

2, No you would write SEE ATTACHED and use an extra sheet put the question number and question and then processed to put the full answer on the sheet properly.

3, the I-134 is not done until the NOA2 is given out - 5 months or more after you guys send the package in.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUS dual nationality citizen living abroad

To add further to this question, suppose the petitioner has residency in the US but is unemployed, will it do to just have a co-sponsor who can vouch for us? My fiance is going to be relocating literally just prior to my interview, do we have a shot at getting the visa approved with a co-sponsor in the event that he is not immediately employed? I know it's best if he has job and there's every chance he will but just wondering what the odds are if one has residency but not income yet has a co-sponsor.


That is country specific you need to ask in your regional forum.

Yes Seriously.
I am constructive in my feed back. They first day I came here I asked a question without reading the instructions. I was told to read the instructions. - best advice EVER given on this site.
