K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresletter of intent to marry for fiance

The letter right now is for the package. I figured it out but now my question is when do I use the address of my fiances country's embassy?


If its for the I-129F package then you put the address your mailing it to on it. Which I previously said is in the instructions.
Honestly the letter of intent does not need an address on it because its in the package with the rest of your stuff all going to the same place.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresletter of intent to marry for fiance

Hey guys I'm a little confused. So I already did my letter of intent now for my fiances letter of intent that I'm gonna mail to her do I use the embassy location or the Texas location? Because it says on there "if submitting for an interview"


What exactly are you trying to do? You have posted this once already but its still not clear.

Are you filing this with the I-129F package or is this for the interview stage of the process?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureslegal wedding and later wedding ceremony?

I am thinking about just marrying legally with my fiance and then at the end of the year have a wedding ceremony. The reason I'm thinking this is so because it would be easier for his famiily to plan to come here towards the end of the year... has anyone out there ever done this? married legally and later have a ceremony? Thanks, VJers.... :)


MANY people will get the K-1 come to the USA get married via the court quickly and then have a HUGE celebration later with family friends and all the fancy wedding things etc. Its highly common.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUSCIS online status question

Do they assign Alien numbers to holders of fiancee visas? I thought they do that only when you apply to an immigrant visa or adjust status. Either way, it sounds like they have been working on my application. I am a Sep 27 CSC filer. Has anyone experienced this? Or is this a fluke?


Yes k-1 applicants get A numbers. It is your number for the rest of your life even after becoming a naturalized citizen.

Wait so what happens if we dont file this additional "waiver"? is this definitely required even if my 1st one has been officially WITHDRAWN? just dont want to bother with more paperwork then all the other required stuff!


If you are filing within the time frame listed in the instructions, Yes its required. Even if the previous petition has been withdrawn / canceled or burned in a fire.

The alien registration number has changed notice is an error. Has been a known error for quite a few months now.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 denied, I290B Apeal denied, refile K-1

@Inky: So that mean he needs to explain y his first K-1 denied, and does he needs to put the old case number from previous K-1?



If it asks for the case number yes. He should fill in all the details requested.
InkyFemaleCanada2013-04-25 11:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 denied, I290B Apeal denied, refile K-1

Recap:
The 1st K-1 was denied and then he filed a I290B appeal. Until now, no news but he has until next month to know the answer if the appeal approve or denied. Let say it's a denial and in June 2013, he resubmit the 2nd K-1 all over again.

Question in K-1:

Part A: Information about you
Q11: Have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiance(e) or husband/wife before? If "Yes", give name of all aliens, place and date of filing.

What is the answer here? If yes, does he need to explain why? Or the answer is No?

thx


Yes the answer is Yes, and yes you need to include the details.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCheque cashed but no email/text notification

We got a message from the bank that the cheque has been cashed but we haven't received text or email notification. We did file the form required for the e-notifications, though. Is it ok?
Thank you in advance for the replies.


Sometimes people NEVER get the notification even tho they included the forms.

When you get your NOA1 - take this to your computer and make an account on the USCIS website. Log in and put your case number into your portfolio, select to have email and text msging for your case via the options and you will then start getting email / text for your case updates.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStaying with Fiance while waiting for K1 to go through...

So technically there is nothing in either package that i need. I could fly from the usa straight to Montreal without needing anything in them? I will be scheduling my appointment online and I know I need this letter but wouldn't I be printing this off my email? (sorry for all the newb questions!)


If you get P4 as an email that actually has the interview date on it then yes you could use it for the interview.

Everything in the package is available online. Download, fill out, mail it in with the stuff. Make sure you read the guides in the Canada section for what you need to send back with the forms or what needs to go with you to the interview.

If you have your medical done at medisys in Montreal, I believe they still need to see a paper with your case information on it still. That might have changed tho.

Is there anything in P3 that I would need before I go to the interview? Or is that all available online? And I edited the last entry so it might have been missed but is P4 the actual Visa?


Your medical and your police certificates. P4 is the interview date not a visa.

Here's my deal. We have already filed 129-F. While I'm waiting for it to go through, I'm trying to time it so that I can live with my fiance in the USA for 4-5 months before everything is approved. If I don't have an address for packet 3 and 4 to get mailed to in Canada, can it be sent to the us citizen?


P3 is ONLINE. Please see country specific information in the Canada forums.

P4 is mailed to the Canadian in Canada.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDid I screw up? I-134 to be included with I-129f packet?

I sent out my I-129f last week USPS confirmed it was delivered, but now I noticed that I-134 was listed among the other K1 forms on one page. I had thought that that was needed later on in the process, did I mess up will this cause me any problems or further delays? Sorry if I'm a bit panicked its just the whole process already seems to take forever and a day and if I delayed it even longer because of a dumb mistake I'll just kick myself :(


No panic you did not do anything wrong. 134 is not used until interview time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSequester/Processing Time/Affidavit - K-1 Application

Can the person sponsoring his/her fiancé to the US get or use an affidavit from someone else? Does it have to be an affidavit of the sponsor only?

Can someone give a guesstimate of how long on average it takes for K-1 applications to be processed completely (more specifically Afghanistan)?

Will the Sequester cause significant (>3 months) delays with the process times?


The petitioner is required to submit the affidavit of support. If you do not meet the requirements then you need to get a co-sponsor. Then both of you would submit the affidavit of support.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUSCIS Helpful on the Marriage Process steps

For step 1 - No this is incorrect. You are not contacted by NVC for any forms or documents. K-1s do nothing at the NVC stage aside from phoning to get their embassy/consul case number and asking if they mailed it to the embassy consul yet.

 

For step 4 - No this is also not correct. Most people do not even need to do the 693 form. You send the vaccination portion from your immigration medical in your country with your AOS application. There is NO need to redo the whole medical unless you find out your entire medical was lost by USCIS. SOME people have had to get ONLY the vaccination portion of the 693 completed as they needed more shots or did not complete a series of shots.

Her guy just got back. There is no expedite for military who are at home in the USA. If they have active duty deployment coming up or are on active duty deployments then yes, they can request an expedite.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSend in Packet 3 before receiving it from consulate?

I have recently received NOA2 and now waiting for NVC case number. I researched around and it seems some people immediately send in their packet 3 to American Consulate oversea once they receive the NVC number. This seems to save 2-3 weeks of time. Is this safe to do??

 

 

Depends on the country and the consulate you are dealing with. But you left no information as to that so no help can be given to your question.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi-129F Cover Letter question

Hello everyone,

 

I recently talked to a friend of mine who did the K-1 visa like ten or so years ago. She basically told me to do everything that's already on this website. The only difference was that she said in her cover letter, she wrote that she was planning to get married on a certain date and had made all the arrangements for the church, church hall, etc. She said that this helped greatly in speeding up the process and was able to get married on the exact date that she stated.

 

So will it help if I did the same thing in my cover letter?  Or is this something that worked ten years ago and no longer today?

 

Thank you

 

 

Even if you write that in your letter you cannot be promised that you will actually marry and be finished by that time.

 

You should not book any items/venues for a wedding until you have your visa in your hand.

There is no harm in planning it out but do not book anything or pay for anything for a certain date.


InkyFemaleCanada2013-05-01 14:01:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWedding Requirements

Required to be married in the USA only when doing the K-1 rout. Its in the instructions.

 

 

- Also she doesn't get to become a citizen for another 3-4 years.

 

Do not claim to be a US citizen on anything, its not part of the process until the very end and it could have detrimental effects to trying to become one.

Being born a citizen or being naturalized has nothing at all to do with speed. One is not faster than the other. They are both US citizens.

They want whatever they ask for. It can be anything. No one can tell you what they " normally want " because it is different for everyone. You just have to wait for the notice and read what it says they want.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlease Help!

Request for Evidence

On April 20, 2013, we mailed a notice requesting evidence/information for this case to you or your representative. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the material requested. This case will be held in suspense until we either receive the evidence/information or the opportunity to submit it expires. A new processing period will begin when we receive your response. You or your representative will be notified by that office of a decision or if any further information or action is needed from you. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.



What's this all about i wanna know..
I have no idea..
can this cause further delay?.
Where can I see this notice to submit the requested material.?
I just renewed my passport because the one i sent was, already expired. Now I think they need my new passport?


It is a request for evidence.

You wait and get a letter in the mail that tells you what they want.

It delays your case 2-3 weeks or longer depending how long it takes you to send them back what they want.

They do not need your new passport right now, that would be at the interview. Something is wrong with your forms or your evidence you included.
