K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview went well, but Passport not collected...
They didn't take her passport because as you said she is in AP now. It can go from a few weeks to months to a year. However long it takes them to review things and do checks.

When they are finished they will request her passport from her.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan my wife stay in the country??
What are you talking about?

Your wife just arrived but its your AOS? whos AOS is it.

You have to marry within the 90 days that is all you have to do.
There is NOTHING to do with AOS being processed by a certain time.

She does NOT leave the country for anything at all until the AOS is finished and the green card in hand. If she has an emergency and has to leave before AOS is approved she must have AP or a stamp in her passport from an infopass.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhich USCIS processing center?
Read the instructions, if your confused about where to send it. Its extremely clear and to the point in the instructions, you send it to the Dallas lockbox.

If you missed that then you may have missed other important things.

Fill it out just like the example form is http://www.visajourn.../Form-I-134.pdf

Of course you provide for him because you are going to marry him. You write N/A K-1 visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresstarted the K1 process, question about arrival
He can leave whenever he wants however he will not be allowed to return unless he has his green card or AP card.

He must have the green card or AP card before traveling anywhere or you will have to file all over again for a spousal visa.

K-1 visa is a ONE TIME USE / ONE TIME ENTRY visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I schedule an interview over the phone
Basically whenever Montreal opens interview dates then you would be able to book one. Its all Montreals time schedule.

There are people who have been waiting 3 weeks or more to book an interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I schedule an interview over the phone
No you cannot schedule the interview over the phone Montreal does not take interview appointments or do anything over the phone.

You just have to keep refreshing the page and wait until an interview date opens. There are many people who have been waiting weeks to book an interview. The over hear is that nothing will be open until November.

Go see the Canada section and post with the others who are waiting for booking interviews.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresproof of relationship
You don't submit your passport. You submit copys of the pages. Everything you send should be copys not originals. You need the originals for the interview.

You do not send the I-134 right now. That is done before the interview and sent to him so he can bring it to the interview.

Everything must have ORIGINAL signatures. No copys.
Everything submitted as evidence/support must be translated to English if it is not in English.

Well a visa charge card is nice but you shouldn't be charging everything to it. Not a good idea to go into debt.

Also it doesn't belong in K-1 forums.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWill having a lawyer make a difference?
Having a baby makes no difference.

There have been some people on VJ with horrific storys of how lawyers destroyed the process. There have been some with storys that were OK when they used lawyers but VJ is a self help website where most people do the process themselves with help from others on the website.

The guides are very good and step by step.

The only name that changes is the last name when married. If you want the rest changed it has to go to court. Or wait until you file citizenship and change it there.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIntent to marry within 90 day form
Not a form at all.

The USC writes a letter stating they still want to marry and they will marry within the 90days. THe beneficiary brings it to the interview. Most embassys require this second letter. The first is sent with the I-129F.

They can answer with approval with RFE or denial.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs our case lost?!?
When you put in a service request its 30 days waiting for them to do something. Its been 2 weeks for you. Wait the 30 days and call them again if nothing happens and request another service request.

The USC can contact their congress person about this too and have them inquire about the case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConfusion

Yes I have contacted my senator, im just trying to figure out where my petition is and who is working it on. Basically... who has the ball? they are bouncing me back and forth, plus they gave a definitive time frame.





Well they can take as long as they want to do AP so basically what they did is called "misinformation" which happens A LOT someone says maximum 3 months but that is not the actual case, it can take however long it takes.

The case is sitting at the embassy if the visa has not yet been issued.

If the senator cant help bump the case into moving ahead and not being stuck then there isn't much else to do, save for trying the congress person and if they could get it moving. You would just have to wait till whenever they finished.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-09-13 09:53:00

Some AP cases have waited a year by which time they need brand new medicals and police certificates.

Have you tried contacting your congress person or senator?
InkyFemaleCanada2011-09-13 09:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes a fiancee need a K1 just to visit?
K-1 is NOT a visit visa.

Canadians DO NOT use visas or VWP to enter to the USA as visitors.

She will need to bring ties to Canada to visit the USA.

If you are not immigrating and not marrying int he USA a k-1 is beyond ridiculous as it costs an obscene amount of money.

Ash and Dave. We are having the same problem. Have been trying for 5 weeks. A lot of time wasted when you do not know if and when appointment
slots will be opened.I have written the Ambassador, my Congressman, and the consulate. They all say keep trying.We try in the evening,morning,afternoon and late at nite with nothing available. I agree, why do they not assign an appointment when they issue the
Packet 4???????? I wish somebody could tell us when they post slots!!!! Good Luck to us both!!

John and Jessica




They used to book interview appointments for k-1 applicants and it was the SAME way. You sat and waited and didn't know when you would get the appointment letter in the mail. You would wait 5 weeks or more or less it was all over the place. No one could tell you when.

Posts in the Canada thread have already stated they may not open any appointments till November.

There are MANY people in the Canada forum talking about this. Please go to the Canada forum and view the 3 posts on this issue.

It has been said that there will be no open appointments until November.
You cannot find an interview date because there are no appointments open to book for.

You need to phone them and make the appointment by phone. (514) 845-1211


Some of the questions on my form were

Have you had chicken pox?

Have you ever had surgery?

Have you ever stayed over night in a hospital?

Do you have a history of serious illness?

Does your family have history of serious illness?

Your doctor needs to write a letter and provide information on any drugs you are taking and why and if you are not taking them anymore etc. There is no form. Just a letter from your doctor with information.
