K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould we front load?
For my proof of ongoing relationship.. I may have encountered a problem..., my fiancé in the us has my computer and we communicate all the time via magicjack.. Now I made the magicjack a local number for me here so there is no long distance charges, I've had this phone and records of calling it everyday for over a year..

How can I prove I'm calling my fiancé at this number???

Ok perfect I will include photocopy of her records... Not going to send proof of ongoing relationship, I think I will have enough proof we've been together.. If we get an RFE then I will send it out along with more proof we've seen each other

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould we front load?
I129f is nearing completion and almost ready to put in order and send out to Texas.

Should m fiancé front load with evidence of ongoing relationship or not? I know it isn't required, but since Im from Canada and have never taken an airplane ... I always drive to see him... The only proof we've been together in past two years is...

Obviously the birth of our child which was in tHe is.
Ez pass transcripts of me driving to and from his city in the us
A couple of photos of us together ... Like maybe three of them..
Also have plane tickets from when we took a vacation together... Hopefully I can find it!!

Could I include my daughters vaccination records? Since her doctor is in the us and I always traveled there for that??

The NOA2 can take 5 months but you may end up getting approved earlier or later then the 5 month mark.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129f Receipt Number

I don't sign in. Just go http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis and paste the code into the CASE STATUS Enter your receipt number box, then press check. See if that works.

~~~

How does one know when the case is "touched"?




You find out touches by signing in and making an account. The very thing you tell people not to do.

Anyways OP - its VERY common to never be able to look at the case status online. It happens to a lot of people. Most of the time even if you can get on to see the case it never updates or it updates incorrectly. This is why you cannot rely on the online case status update system.

It depends if you are trying to front load your petition for a certain country really. But you have no information at all on your profile.

We sent only 25 pictures with the I-129F. There are some people who send A LOT of pictures for certain countrys that are more difficult to get through the visa process with.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical Exam / Vaccines
The medical exam is valid only for a year - To AOS the medical needs to be valid or you will pay out your A-- in the USA to get a new medical. If you get the medical early and things take long then you will have issues with the medical possibly expiring.

Some places require an A# or letter from the USEM to be able to even book the medical.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdvice Needed - get married in USA or in Brazil
Your marrying so you will file a CR-1 - spousal petition after marriage. There is nothing fast in this process.
She can try to visit the USA during the process but its not always possible. She cannot move to the USA until the visa is in her passport.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCSC What are you doing!?!?!?!
Filing the I-129F will slow down the process because they have to match it up to the 130 and then process them both together.

You should have just stayed with the I-130 and gone the CR-1 path and just avoided the K-3 path all together. Its more costly and takes longer.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUS Passport
You are eligible for a US passport when you are a US Citizen and only then.

3 years of LPR married to the same USC who petitioned you.
If you divorce its 5 years.

All the information is on USCIS on naturalization pages and on VJ in the guides section.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdvice for location of marriage please!
1, no.
2, no only the fact that you may be waiting months for the marriage certificate ( you cannot file without it.)
3, You would be applying for the CR-1, the K-3 is more expensive and a waste as the CR-1 is cheaper and offers green card on entry.

Not a good idea to shorten the City Name. You should not use abbreviations or shortened names of things.

If you cant fit the name in on the computer print the sheet out and write it in by hand so that it fits.

3, and the 131 if you think of traveling or have an emergency and need to leave before you have the green card.
4, no fee for the SScard, you fill the forms out and sit around until they say you will get it in the mail in a few weeks.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExpecting

I don't know the Country that well but I think NOT to File a K-1 and do the CR-1 route. Even with a K-1 it will be allright but as I said before: Contact between the 2 is most important.


If someone is excited to have a child and they want to write that, they write that. They share the happy news that they have.
Its nothing about an EGO. Posted Image

If they met and became pregnant soon into the relationship before filing and are excited there is NOTHING wrong with putting that in the explanation if they want to put it. It may not be needed or required like I said but there is nothing wrong with it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExpecting

I still think/say the information is not asked for on the Forms. However, Inky IN THE COVER LETTER it would/could be stated if wished too. information asked on the forms how you met and your intentions is what is asked for on the Initial Forms. I previously said: No need to involve information not asked for but it will come-up. The pregnancy can be disclosed in the cover letter. No attachments are needed since pregnacy is not an issue to the approval. /and or required on a 129-f Petition. There not looking for a life story yet.


It does not matter, if the OP wants to list or someone wants to list they have a child on the way they can list it. Its their choice not your opinion on if they should or shouldn't. It is not required no, but if they want to put it then they very well can put it in the packet in whatever way they want to.
The person can list it in the cover letter, in a personal letter or in the question about how you met/when you met in person. Its up to the person who is filling out the forms, also up to when/how the pregnancy first happened.

So in an attempt to help the OP's need. How would she go about annotating this in her I-129F petition? I didn't see anywhere specific to do that when I filled mine out (although I wasn't looking for this specifically) but it seems she is passionate about including it. Any thoughts, ideas or recommendations to her to incorporate it?


One would write this on the question of how you met when you give background information or one would include a personal letter.

I guess my real question would be, does this get checked during the paperwork process?
I am not a confrontational person at all and I was so upset the last time I tried to visit my nerves were so shaken.
Even the interview had my blood pressure up, lol, but she was really nice and calming.


Yes everything is checked during the process, you will not have an issue when entering with your K-1.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa question
K-1 visa is a one time use only.

You cannot use it to enter the USA as married nor can you use it to enter a second time.

If you plan to use a K-1 to enter marry and leave again then you will have to file for a Spousal visa if you wish to return together and live in the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresJust a few questions about fees.
Really as soon as you can, the faster its done the faster he will get the AP/EAD/green card the faster he can work and travel. The I-94 expires in 90 days after entry, when that expires he basically has no status. Most try to get it done / in at the 90 days time frame so they don't delay the legal status and the ability to work any longer than needed.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-12-21 08:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresJust a few questions about fees.
The medical is around $200 if you have no extra shots to get ( extra shots cost a lot !! unless you get them at your regular doctor )
The Visa interview fee is $350 USD.

AOS fee after marriage is $1070 USD. (not including the cost of passport photos and photocopys etc needed for the package) Needs to be filed soon as possible after marriage.

Our license and wedding at the court house cost us $75 USD
Getting my car plated and registered was around $375 USD
Getting drivers license was around $26 USD
Crossing the land border cost $6 USD cash for the I-94.

You put your total annual income. So if you make 40,000 annual before tax etc you put that.

You don't have to list life insurance you can leave it blank
You don't have to list cash surrender you can leave it blank
You don't have to list real estate you can leave it blank.

If you qualify on income alone or you are using a co-sponsor you do not have to fill in any other lines but the annual income line.
