K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion Regarding Traveling Abroad During K-1 Visa Process

Forgive my ignorance on the matter, but what is a B1?


Business Visitor Visas (B-1) - For example, if the purpose for your planned travel is to consult with business associates, travel for a scientific, educational, professional or business convention, or conference on specific dates, settle an estate, or negotiate a contract, then a business visitor visa (B-1) would be the appropriate type of visa for your travel.

Pleasure, Tourism, Medical Treatment - Visitor Visas (B-2) - As examples, if the purpose of your planned travel is recreational in nature, including tourism, vacation (holiday), amusement, visits with friends or relatives, rest, medical treatment, activities of a fraternal, social, or service nature, and participation by amateurs, who will receive no remuneration, in musical, sports and similar events or contests, then a visitor visa (B-2) would be the appropriate type of visa for your travel.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion Regarding Traveling Abroad During K-1 Visa Process

Hello. I was wondering if it is O.K. for my fiance to travel from Japan to the US to visit me while the K-1 visa is being processed? If this is ok what kind of proof would I need to give to show that we do not have the intention to marry before the official approval?

Thank you very much for your responses.


Its fine to travel during the K-1 process, it can be a little harder to do though. Your fiance needs to bring the NOA1 or NOA2 from the K-1 petition and ties to her home country like rental agreement/letter from her job expecting her back at a certain date/return tickets etc.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresvisit during k1

My Fiancee has a travel visa and came from Mexico to the US for 2-3 day visits several times in 2010 then for 2 months in November, 2010, and 4 1/2 months in 2011 to have medical tests and dental work. She had no difficulty through the POE. Will this hurt us in our K1 application?


This has nothing to do with Canada nor does it have to do with 6 month rule for Canada.

You need to post your question in the proper forum and not on someone elses thread.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325a Form
If G-325 was OPTIONAL it would say optional beside it like the other form so states. IT IS NOT OPTIONAL.

The expiration date is still valid until they post a brand new form on USCIS website.

I read your post and answered your question with the guide and by so stating that it is required. Go ahead send the I-129F without it and get an RFE.

Embassy specific form.

US embassy in Canada requires the form and a copy of the form. You will need to ask if your embassy wants a copy or not.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVJ too much of a good thing?

PS. Another great post I just found here on VJ explaining all the fees..


Its missing fees for the medical, for any copys of things, for a passport if you need one as well as all the passport pictures, the police clearance and long form birth cert etc. It does not explain all the fees. Just the larger portion that belongs to USCIS/US embassy. There are more fees in the process than what is shown on the list.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestypical questions asked to a fiance (female) in an interview

Okay guys, went and looked up stokes and questions. If this is personal then there is something mentally wrong with you. It's not like they are asking, when is the last time you had intercourse, what's his/her favorite position. What's their best feature. These are normal question I would even expect my friends to ask. I am wondering if this happens to people who a) have a big age gap (57 vs 18), b) don't speak the same language, c) aren't really taking the relationshp seriously and d) are truly doing something illegal.

Here are some questions I found:

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/FAQ/1766


Your link doesn't work, regardless there have been many posts on VJ about personal questions asked during a stokes interview. A stokes interview happens when they think you are trying to commit marriage fraud to enter the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPicture Size - G-325A

Based on information contained on the US Consulate in Rio de Janeiro website (http://brazil.usemba...---fiancee.html) 5 x 7 cm passport photographs are acceptable. Please make sure the photographs are frontal photographs showing both ears and no earrings.

To confirm if the info on the website is current, you can always send an email to the consulate at immigrationrio@state.gov. They appear very responsive to emails (I received replies to 3 emails I sent during the week of Aug 8 within 2 hours).

Best of luck.

Pansh


The US consulate in Rio may accept that size but the USCIS in the USA does not. They accept US size passport photos.

my passport photo is larger than 2x2 :)


Well you need to read the guides then because as Barbara J posted, it says in the guides/instructions that they want 2x2 and only accept 2x2 passport size photos.

So you need to redo your photos you sent and send the correct size. Reading instructions and guides are a much better way to avoid mistakes and slowing down your process. So slow down and take a good long read of everything.

First, it would be helpful if you would complete your timeline as you have not indicated what type of visa you are pursuing. Next, I would recommend that you read http://www.visajourn...he_NVC_ShortCut the Ling Che NVC shortcuts to familiarize yourself with the process. By completing your timeline, you can help others who may be going through the same process as yourself.

I went over got married and then my husband deployed a few weeks later and he was gone for 6 months. They DO NOT send you back to your country at all. You just have to make sure that you quickly get some AOS things together before he leaves. I filed AOS by myself while he was deployed with no issue at all.

You cannot get a visa without a passport because the visa is printed INTO the passport. Traveling internationally children need a passport.

You have to look at your county for that. Either go there or look on the website/call them.

You might end up with an interview if a USCIS office has it again. Or just get an RFE for whatever issue they are having, likely the one you mentioned with the SSN and birth date. You will just have to wait and see what happens really.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProcess Times for Canada
just a heads up if you haven't seen this yet. http://www.visajourn.../content/k1flow

thos are all the steps of the process. Its approx 5 months just for the first approval. Total time will be more than 5 months most likely.

Also a note Montreal has been really horrible lately so when you get to that stage, you can get packet 3 from the Montreal website instead of waiting for them to mail it. You can complete packet 3 and send it back to Montreal when you have your MTL case number and know that MTL has the case.

get the MTL case number after USCIS approval by calling NVC. Give it about a week and then call DOS ( department of state ) give them MTL case number and ask if MTL has the case, if yes download P3 from MTL website and get it all together and mail it to them. Wait a bit then call DOS again and ask if P4 is logged if yes then you can book interview time and then when you have interview confirmation you can book medical and get the medical done.
