You don't notify the NVC of change of address, at this point just put a hold on your mail and when your package gets to the US embassy then you notify them of your change of address.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI Cancelled my I-129F sent them a letter. How soon I can re apply for I-129f for a different person?
You will likely need to include a waiver since your applying for one again so quickly. There are instructions on the I-129F sheets on if you are applying a second time, they may have instructions on the guides here too not sure tho.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProof of Meeting
Photos are considered secondary evidence. There have been people who were approved without sending in any photos ( other than the required passport photos )

You will need evidence of relationship aside from affidavits because they are not considered very strong evidence either.

Passport stamp is a good start proving that you had gone to the country.

You should not use abbreviations - people at USCIS generally do not know what they are.

If you cannot fit the full thing you should write " See attached " and provide an attached sheet with the question and answer in full.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEngagment pictures look like marriage pics?
You are basically asking us what the CO will think of your pictures. Obviously we don't know that. You could NOT send them and have the CO wonder why you didn't include them. You COULD send them and have the CO question that as well. Or you can make a choice either way and have the CO not think twice about it.

You are the only one who has seen the pictures. in your opinion, do they look like wedding pictures? If you are questiong it, then I wouldn't send them

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa - Missed the two year deadline by 5 days?

My case is different from the OP in that I did file my petition within the two years deadline. But in a sense it is similar because of the long awaited visits. My point wasn't about whether or not he should get denied (since he did file after the two year mark had already passed), My point was more on the fact of why he couldnt go see her, I can sympathize with him on that note.



I understand, which is why my comments were not directed at you, but the OP. If the issue, in the OPs case, was time and money as to the reason he did not go to visit his fiance, well he's lost both now.

Good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa - Missed the two year deadline by 5 days?

:ot: Unfortunately it is not a reality for all petitioners to go visit the beneficiary as much as they would like. In my case, finances kept me from hopping a plane and heading to Africa every time I missed him.


Don't get me wrong, I am very lucky to have been from Canada which allowed frequent visits during this process. But 2 years is a long time and is actually one of the requirements. While finances and distance always play a factor, it is essential that the 2 year requirement be met, I thought this would have been a priority becuase not only has the OP lost his filing fee but another trip BEFORE he can refile must happen

Good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa - Missed the two year deadline by 5 days?

With all dude respect, that is not for us to judge. Whatever their reasons are for being seperated 2 years, as VJers we should offer compassion with our advice. I was lucky to have seen my Fiance last year twice, but before that it had been about 6 years. We have been together since we were about 18 (we are 35 now) mostly for fiancial reasons we saw each other every other year.


Judging? Isn't it best to prepare the OP for what will be inevitable? I recently saw a couple from Australia put in AP for not seeing each other in a year. The OP is 2 years and doesn't meet the filing requirement anyway.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa - Missed the two year deadline by 5 days?
Not to mention the questions at the interview of why you went 2 years without seing the one you love. Isn't that excessive?

The petition will be denied likely, just because no RFE yet doesn't mean there wont' be one, it just means someone hasn't look at the case yet

Hi,

Not sure if this is important or not, but the only stupid question is the one I don't ask.....lol.

We listed "United States" under the nationality question. Honestly don't over think it, it is a pretty easy answer

You know as soon as she moves to the US on a K-1 or spousal visa she'll lose her Canadian health care right? Consider that a given. Do you have insurance for her and the child?

How far along is she?

Our process took 10 months so you really shouldn't expect any shorter than that. Possibly if you go through Vancouver. Where is your girlfriend's residence in Canada?

So what are you exactly looking to do? You seem to be talking in circles but unsure of what you are really asking

Well, it sounds like you are not close to a petiting with talking about having a baby in 1 year maternity in Canada.

Now what sort of 'trouble' did you get in to?

Can your 'freelance' work be done from another country? As in can you pay your $200 and stay in Canada for 6 months?

How can she maintain her health insurance with a residence in California?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow soon can you get married
You can get married as soon as the state you live in legally allows you to. Some can do it the same day as a POE, some require other paperwork or documents to be presented before a marriage licence can be issued.

However, do NOT plan anything until a visa is in hand

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRefusal of Entry
Now maybe I could believe that the airline would fund the trip back if they were responsible, however, they are NOT US customs agents, how are they supposed to check your ties. They are not authorized to do so. If you get turned away, bet on that you'll have to fund the trip back.

Good luck, entrance is never a guarentee. All you can do is collect your ties and give it your best shot. No reason to think that you will be denied.

Also, don't believe everything you read on the internet. Except for what I say of course. I am a renowned immigration attorney with over 50 years experience in immigration (and you shouldn't believe that either)

Good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRefusal of Entry
WOW! Ok, well I was denied entry twice. It had no effect on our eventual issuance of my visa

Now, I was denied at a land crossing but from what I hear, you are responsible for paying your way home, why would the airline pay? They didnt' get you refused.

You are not a criminal if you are refused, you broke no laws so why would they put you in prison? They will, however, detain you. If you are refused entry into the US and the next flight isn't available until hours later, what else are they supposed to do? They'll likely put you in a holding facility until the next flight is available.

Now, there is no guarentee that you'll be admitted into the US ever, to make your chances easier you should carry strong ties to Australia and NEVER lie to the CBP.

I would say yes, I assume you were issued a GC right? That way if you say yes but are wrong, no worries. If you say no when in fact the answer is yes, it can be construed as lying or strying to hide something.
