K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresemailed form 1040

Is it W2 that has to go with the tax transcript or the recent paystub that can show the recent income? I am confused because W2 and last year tax return shows the same information about the previous year’s income. Since you claim your recent income on the I-134, you should have to back up with some sort of documentation and that is current paystub and letter from the employee. If I am wrong, please let me know.

Thanks and Good Luck


Transcripts from the IRS you do not need a W2 with.

Tax Returns you must have all pages including the W2.

You need W2 if you are sending the tax return.

You don't even need to fill that in if you meet the 125% of the poverty guidelines.

You don't need to list any of that extra stuff if you meet the 125% on income. You can use just your income.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresaverage time between noa2 and interview?
Totally dependent on your embassy. Everyones is different.


Have you tried calling DOS to find out if the embassy has your papers and has sent out anything to you? You can also go on the website for your countrys US embassy and look up the visa see if they just offer the info in their website.

Print them and follow instructions from the website then send it off.
This happens in Canada a lot. Embassy does not answer and doesn't send a packet 3 or sends one and it never arrives.

Also you can call DOS and ask them if the embassy has sent out packet 3 yet. That way you at least know they sent it even if it went to the wrong / incomplete address.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow long til the beneficiary can leave the US?
You can leave right away if you want to take your honey moon outside of the USA.

But you wont be coming back to the USA. You will have to go to your home country and start all over again from the bottom with a CR-1 spousal visa.



Get married and file AOS with AP. Then wait.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMilitary background - will it take longer??
My husband is USC in the military and we had no hold ups or slow processing. Actually its been quite fast for K-1 and AOS turn around. I'm curious to see if ROC will be as fast as the other 2 were.

I would only assume that if it was the foreign person who was in the military it MIGHT slow things up because they need to check on things like that a little more closely from being in the military for another country. But then again there was another Canadian on VJ who was in the military in Canada and they had no issues with the K-1 process.

W2 means nothing without the tax returns. You will not get your visa and you will get an RFE for the documents.

You send it to the beneficiary. They bring it to the interview with them.

You fill it out as close to the interview as possible and send it to them.

if the child has claim she cannot and will not be issued any type or kind of visa. She must get a US passport to enter the USA or she will be left behind in your country.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat Should I Do...Who Should I Contact...
You call NVC. You ask them if they have gotten your case yet. You ask for your case number if they have gotten it yet. Then ask if it has been sent to the embassy yet.

You got into this mess by asking about a letter not asking about the case. You need to ask specific questions about your case only or they will keep telling you to call someone else.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow much does the K1 visa fee cost?
Yes the USCIS website shows the most up to date and correct fees.

The fee for the visa interview costs 350$.

If you are filing the I-129F initial package its 340$

Make sure you are looking at the correct place. If you are going to an interview you are paying 350$. If you are JUST NOW starting and mailing your FIRST EVER package its 340$.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChecking case online problem
VERY common. Happens to a lot of people. Theres a question like this almost every week. Its not a big deal if the case does not show up. It does not mean your case is missing or lost it just means that they did not put your case into the online status system. Checking the status is a privilege provided by USCIS it is not a requirement by USCIS to do this for us.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs K1/AOS process really bad?
I-129f was approved in 5 days from NOA1 date.

Moved to the USA in August on K-1
Married after I got there.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC is going to be sent off Sept 3rd.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat is NOA1 and NOA2?
There is FAR MORE than just the I-129F

You have to do your visa interview, get your visa go to the USA, get married apply for AOS, then in 2 years apply for ROC. Then keep renewing your 10yr card every 10 years or apply for US citizenship. Its a very long and expensive process I suggest you look at the guides and learn some things.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP!`
All signatures on forms MUST be originals, you need to send them.

Evidence does not need to be originals they can be photocopys. Original evidence is brought to the interview.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-07-23 20:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP!`
You write neither because you only interview in Montreal. The only place that does spousal visa interviews is Montreal US embassy.

Nevermind you didnt post in the right section.

Anyway you put Montreal US embassy or you put Vancouver embassy thos are the ONLY two embassys that interview for K-1 and its based on which you live closer to.

1. http://www.uscis.gov...i-129finstr.pdf THe instructions say $340

2. You can correct the G325A with no explanation necessary, because you had the incorrect filing fee it is doubtful that they entered any of your information into their system.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA bit overwhelmed
1. Should be fine, passport stamps are considered 'primary evidence' but include pictures and such as well

2. you should list her western name under 'other names used' on the petition. that should help

3. I am a married woman without an engagement ring. At our interview my lack of a ring wasn't mentioned. Having an engagement ring is not a requirement

4. Not a problem, list the address as it is now and when it changes, notifiy the correct department

Good luck

Nope, no impact on the K-1. Of course you'll disclose it when asked

I was denied entry twice, it was a non-issue.

I was asked about it and the lady laughed and said "wanted to visit him eh?" I said "of course"

We shared a laugh and she moved on.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresElaborate Marriage Necessary?
Nope, fiance can leave at any time.

however, to be admitted back into the US, she'll need her green card or her advanced parole (filed for during AOS)

If she leaves without these documents, you guys abandone your AOS process and will have to start all over again with a spousal visa


Good luck

I messed up both my parents' location of birth on the G325A, it was a non issue. It is simply for statistic and has no bearing on your I129F

Correct it on the Ds230 and it will be fine
