K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPacket from the embassy problem...

I just got my packet from the embassy in Dublin and there is only 3 of my 4 children mentioned on it... I have emailed them (tried to call but got told to email instead) and I am about to pass the hell OUT. 


There was only space for 3 children on the form so my Fiancé put the 4th child name on the back of the form, I really hope this is not as big an issue as I am thinking it is... 


 

 

If the answer does not fit the space provided you are meant to write " see attached " and attach a whole new sheet with the question and full answer.

Not just " write it on the back of the form" It probably never got seen by the person going through your file. You will need to try and correct this at the interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow do I carry my thick application to the interview?

It means you didn't read the instructions. You might want to read them again if you sent your papers to the Texas Service Center. Thats the wrong place. Texas does not process k-1 petitions.


someone really needs to make a huge bold sticky so people stop bringing up this topic and making the same mistake constantly.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresds-156 or ds-160.

Hello;

 

     Thank you very much for all the replies. Now, I've talked to my finance, & she says she needs the ds-160 form so she can get the medical

exam. Does this sound correct; or did she mix something up.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Rob_D

 

DS-160 has nothing to do with the medical. It is an online non-immigrant visa consular application form.


InkyFemaleCanada2013-05-12 11:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresds-156 or ds-160.

VJ does not include them because they are part of the papers the consul tells you they need.

Different consuls request different things for different countrys. DS-160 is filled out by some countrys but not all.

 

At this point generally you go on the consuls website and download the forms the consul requests and follow their directions and their checklists.

 

All the information for Manila is done online. This is listed in the guides in the Philippine forums.

The ideal person to be a co-sponsor is someone who makes the correct amount of income for their family + the immigrant(s).

 

It does not matter if the person is a friend or a relative. They only want the correct income.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTax returns

Hey guys...

 

I have tax returns all ready to go.  My question is, can I use the tax return printed off from TurboTax, or should I get the ones from the IRS sent to me?

 

Thank you in advance!!

 

 

You can use the tax return from turbo tax, but you must include the W2 with the tax returns.

 

If you get the tax transcripts from the IRS, you do not need to include a W2.

 

 

It is completely your choice which you want to use, both are acceptable.


InkyFemaleCanada2013-05-10 09:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG325 attachment

If you can fit it on 1 sheet just use 1.

 

Make sure to write out the question number and the question before putting the answer.

 

Write in the space " See attachment " and just put the full thing on the attached sheet.

 

If you were a student yes, write student under occupation.

Someone mentioned on here, that as soon as NVC sends your file out, that you can contact your embassy to schedule  an interview appointment, by providing them your case number. Is this true?

 

I Recieved a letter from NVC, that my K1 Petition has been sent to Cairo's emmbasy.

 

 

 

 

Check your embassy/consuls website. Its different for different countries.

You sign it. Saying you read it. Did you read the question and read the instructions like it says to? Then you sign the form saying yes you did read them and yes you do understand what you are signing and what it says.

No it means the NVC gave your case a case number. Nothing to do with the consul having it yet.

 

Call DOS and confirm when the NVC mailed your case out yet and if the consul has it yet.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134, photocopy with signature only

We did not use property for the 134, to use this you would have to have 2 homes and use only the second home. Not the primary residence (where you would live at).

You would have to get an appraisal of value on the house/property and include that with the evidence.

- Is he trying to use this as part of an asset to reach the required income level?

 

 

Everything  we submitted as evidence for the 134 was copys. For example paystubs, tax returns, W2.

You cant use a house to help as an asset if it is your primary residence it wont be counted. IT has to be a house or property that you can sell immidiately to obtain money cash value.

 

You will have to get a valuation of property / house done to include with your forms if you intend to use the home or property on the forms.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat exactly happens to NOA2?

Most of the time in situations like this people call/contact the two consuls and ask them to switch the file for them and are not charged any fee/ don't do any forms.

 

Instead of calling USCIS I would call DOS and speak to someone there and ask your location questions.

Hello Visajourney members:
While filling out the form for packet 3, I came across an item in form DS-156 where it is written that Birth certificate, engagement evidence, Police certificates and evidence of support should be attached in order to apply for a fiance immigrant visa.
Do anybody remember if you need to send these additional documents along with the forms as a part of packet-3.
Please help.
Thanks.



 

 

No these are not sent with the forms. Please see the Canada forums for specifics on what is sent back to the consul. There is a pinned topic with the information.
