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.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOriginal NOA2 needed anywhere at interview stage?
In 2009 I was asked for the original at my interview they just looked at it and handed it back to me. Not sure if its needed at the interviews now thought.

It is important to have it for the AOS thought. Put a copy of it in the AOS package.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI have no idea where I start

As Japan is a visa-waiver country for tourists, is there some problem in him coming over with the visa-waiver, getting married, and then changing his status?


Visa fraud. Deported and banned from the USA.


If you want him to work right away get married go back to the USA and file a CR-1 spousal visa. He can work on entry to the USA or go to school.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe wait.

Those links are helpful! Thanks!
And Inky, we do use Skype pretty much every day. :) It's still tough though, yknow? He doubles as my best friend (especially as I've recently moved to Maryland and don't know too many people down here), so being without him feels a little like missing a limb.


Yes I know how you feel! Since I came here hes been gone more than been here. It was hard when I was in Canada but seems harder more so now that i'm living here. But it is what it is and yours will be over soon =) keep your chin up!

You can see each other on video chat? its not the same as in person but at least you can see each other. We do that when my husband is deployed and it makes things easier.

other then that mine was approved 5 days after NOA1. From CSC.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAOS - where are the border crossing papers!?!?!?!
CBP does not send you any papers. Thos papers are sent to USCIS.

No idea what you are waiting on. You should be following the AOS instructions and filing it. When you are married and have your marriage certificate.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow do we cancel a fiance petition
Submit a letter stating you want to cancel the I-129F. Put your case number and info etc on the letter so they can match it up to your case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAppt. date

Have not recieved any info from the NVC...called and they said our info was forwarded to the consulate in Montreal. How is one suppose know what to do next? Believe me, I do my research!!


Well there are TONS of posts in the Canada section on what to do etc.

You need to ask NVC for the embassy case number, then you can call DOS and ask if the embassy has your case yet, then you go online and get the packet info. But like I said had you looked at the embassy website you would of found the info there! it lists everything on there. Same for the Canada section of the forums, everyone doing K-1s posts about Montreal process etc in there. All the information is right at your finger tips.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-08-23 12:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAppt. date
You have to book your own. You should be doing your research!!!

Packet 3 is on the Montreal website you need to do all that and then get back P4 before you can book your interview.


Post in the Canada section for more help and you can find a lot of information there.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp me! I'm confused!

Looks like you got it all, remember keep extra copies. Both of you should have the exact same file including copies of the check(s). Take an extra look at the guides here on VJ


I'm not sure you even read the posts in this thread, the OP stated they ONLY sent numbers 1,2,3 from that list and nothing else. So NO they didn't get all the stuff that needed to be included.

^ It was this which got both of us confused, I still don't see where the other requirements are listed,good thing I've stumbled upon this site.



Read the guides for k-1 visa. Everything you need is listed there.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp me! I'm confused!

Ok, and should that happen, how will it affect - if it does affect - the next application?


It just means you have to get all the stuff back and put everything that was left out into it. It just slows down the petition some because they cant work on it or anything until you get all the stuff and send the whole thing back.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp me! I'm confused!
if all he sent was 1 2 3 then he will get more than an RFE, he will most likely get a rejected petition because most of what is required is missing.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-08-19 16:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp me! I'm confused!
It depends on what you forgot.

They would send an RFE for the documents they need or they would reject the entire thing and you would have to redo it and send it back to them. You don't say what was not included thought.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTwo Questions About Fiance Visa
Yes there are income requirements BEFORE the green card, you have to show you can support the person before they will grant the visa.

The child would get a visa also when its applied for and have the same medical and visa interview etc.

We included nothing but employment pay stubs and tax returns.

Was never asked for bank information or anything else was approved same day of interview had no RFEs or hang ups.

AOS was approved without RFE and without interview.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-08-23 17:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 petition approved - not sure what to do next

Yes. If you read the I-134 instructions you are required to send a letter from your bank stating how long you've had the account, and some other info.


Only if you are using bank info to meet the % of the guidelines. If you are not then you don't need bank letters.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-08-23 17:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 petition approved - not sure what to do next
Our P3 and instructions are available on our US embassys website, have to check the one you will interview at, most people in Canada get them from there. They have an online payment system for paying and the interview letter is emailed to us.

For the medical we have to pay at the medical place after we have our medical, pick it up a few days after and bring it to the interview with us unless you want 50$ for them to send it (rip off!)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresquestions about DOS...
Department of state. Go check out their website.

They are more accessible than calling/emailing the embassy and they have all the info the embassy has. They can update you on your case and if they passport has the visa printed and mailed etc.

And the way the mailing is has changed since 2009, thos letter examples have not been updated since 2009. You do not require the address on the letter head because now there is no way to tell which center your package will go to.

Thank you.
So do i need to edit and put the Dallas info on the letters to intent to marry and the cover letter or no? I put the Californian one on there seeming as my fiance was born and lives in California and that is where we will be living. I heard it gets transferd from the Dallas office anyway so it will be fine or no?


You do not need to put any address on the letters.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-08-23 19:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI NEED HELP
Texas does not process K-1 visas. The Dallas lockbox is a sorting facility that removes the payments and forwards it to either CSC or VSC.

You can call DOS and ask them if the embassy has gotten the case yet.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPregnanct for medical?
They put a led vest over your belly for the xrays.

Some shots you wont be able to get if you need any because of being pregnant but generally the shot part is only really needed for the AOS when you are inside the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiance with a tourist visa
Nope, your previous visa and stays in the US are irrelevant and won't speed anything up

No one can tell you how it will be at the border, best to travel with ties to your home country to make the crossing easier...and of course always tell the truth

Good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1
You should send exactly what they ask for. You need to wait for the RFE form to figure out what they are looking for

Nothing to do now but wait for the RFE to come in the mail and respond to it.

Good luck
