A copy for the petition.

I was asked for the original at my interview. The interviewer compared the copy and original and looked at the seal/stamp on the page very carefully. Then handed back the original.

You need whatever proof you have that shows she does not have a place to live. Unfortunately that reason is not on the list of reasons to get an expedite. You will have to be extremely compelling with your evidence for this to be granted.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOver 3 months and not even an NOA1 - has that ever happened before?!?!

I do not know if he sent the petition to Texas. I will ask him later. I do not even know if he's doing everything correctly. He does not want to seek help from a lawyer as it will cost a lot, when he says he can perfectly follow instructions. I honestly don't know if I should even hope for this. But thanks so much for your replies. I suppose I will find out in a month what's going to happen with this whole thing - if he does refile or what.


There is a step by step guide on this website that tells you everything. You don't need a lawyer.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa to can be use to other states?

Is that means, leaving Guam, having 1st stop in Japan on flight and going to another states in mainland as consider a second entry? I never heard that flight from Guam would going straight to States without stop for transit in Japan, in case if someone offer advise to choose non-stop flight.Posted Image


If you leave the USA without your AP or green card you cannot get back in.

So if you enter Guam and get married then go to japan, you cannot come back to the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStay the course?
No place holding, no switching, no money back.
Lost your money, lost your place, lost your petition.
When you marry you will have to start all over again new fees, new petition, new papers, new everything. Then you can add on another year of waiting.

Also considering you already sent out the invites to the wedding its possible that will hurt your K-1 even if you decide not to marry. Anything that gives the embassy thought that you got married can cause them to deny it saying you are married even if you are not.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo I have everything for our visa petition?!

Yes, but who would have thought about holding on to them? Whichever was transited through the bank and online accounts remains, but the rest? I am pretty compulsive, but not even I am compulsive enough to save tickets from three years ago.


I have tickets and itinerarys saved from years ago when visiting as BF/GF. We don't get stamps in our passport when traveling so always kept tickets etc as proof.

There was an RFE not that long ago that requested a person send flight tickets/itinerary/receipts and all they sent was photographs of each other.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-10-16 14:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo I have everything for our visa petition?!

I don't know if we have anything other than the passport stamps. Even if I found a hotel receipt, what does that prove? It might show that I paid for a hotel room for 2 people. How much more solid can it get than pictures of us together?


Pictures are not primary evidence, they can be faked easly.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long does USCIS take to process i-130 if it says in the immigration timeline that it's started being processed now
uh you should have the NOA1 in 1-2 weeks of them cashing your check. If its longer then that you would have an issue. Then your case sits in a box until they reach it.

Today I saw from immigration timlines that i-130's which date is july 31 2011 are currently being processed now. My question is, if my i-130 NOA1's date is july 31, 2011 and it is started to be processed today, how much longer will I have to wait before I get the decision. thank you


5- 6 months to process the case. EVERYONE is the same it takes 5-6 months to get the NOA2 and then you go to the NVC and process at the NVC. Go read the guides.

Okay...thanks for the replies everyone...


There is this thing the company will check called E-verify. And they will put your SSN in it and it will say NOT LEGAL TO WORK.

E-verify website that checks your legal status before you can be hired.
http://www.uscis.gov...0004718190aRCRD


I-9 you have to fill out using documents proving you are allowed to work.
http://www.uscis.gov...0004718190aRCRD


You can try doing a self check if your state is listed. It will tell you that you cannot work.

hi! what is the 90 day EAD? how can i get that? thank you!


it costs 400$ and you have to apply for it and it will expire before you even get it. It expires the same day as your I-94 and you cannot work when its expired. Moot point.

Again you cannot work without the EAD card or GC.

Thank you everybody! You helped us a lot! Now definitely we'll go and try to do it. If it's not working in the old SS office that we've tried already we'll go in other one.

But now new question is popping up: When I'm applying for AOS do I have to write my new married name which I will have (eventually from SS), or I have to do it with my old name? :blush:

Thank you again!


use the name you want on the green card.
