K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 VSC - Does it really helps to call or email them?
If its a waste of your lawyers time to work on your case... might be time to get rid of the lawyer and do it yourself. You have more time to be on top of things and contact congress people and senators.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLikelihood of RFE?
doubt you would get an RFE for that. You can always call to correct it or wait till interview and mention the correction.

I had put my husbands zip code wrong by 1 number a couple of times and when I went to the interview, first thing I said was can I correct a zip code mistake on my form? The woman looked at the forms where I told her I made the mistake and it had already been corrected.

Hurt what case? your K-1 is closed and you are married so the K-1 is void anyways, you cant use one and they wont issue you one.

File the CR-1.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSecurity Clearance - does it help?
Maybe we were one of the extreme tiny few but our I-129F was approved in 5 days after our NOA1. My husband is Active duty US military tho (with high clearance). He was also about to deploy and we asked for expedite for the interview and got our interview expedited.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNewbie question here
You go on the USCIS website, make an account with name and password. You take your NOA1 case number, you put it into portfolio. You can then see if your case has been touched. You can also sign up for email and text msgs for full updates, it will send you a text to check your case when it was updated.

You only need to make $18,212 to meet the 2 person poverty guideline so I think you are fine on that. They look at the total current income, not the bills.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting a bit hopeless
Most petitions seem to be taking 6 months to just get approved. After that they go to NVC process there and then to the embassy.

Wait till the 5 month mark then see if anything can be done. Sadly one of the main things is to never guess or go by USCIS phone lines because they usually have no idea whats going on with the papers and just say what they are told to say.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA and applying for residency deadline.
Sorry to say but your VISA expired the day you used it to enter the USA.

Your talking about your I-94 that expires.

You should get it done as soon as possible but it doesn't have to be done before the I-94 expires. Tho the longer you wait the longer you cannot work and cannot travel out of the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhich is my service center?
Just leave the address part off the Letter of intent. Or you can have them put VSC address on it if you want. She will likely be at VSC for the state of NJ. Tho if it is processing too slow she may get shifted to another center.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-01-17 13:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhich is my service center?
As coco said you cant file a K-1 when you are married. Does not matter what service center because you cant send it.. well you can send it to Texas and they will take your money then deny you. Without a refund.


You need to file a CR-1 spousal visa because you are married.


Your timeline says you already filed a K-1 and finished removal of conditions.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFlagged canadian wanting to go to US on K1 Visa
At the interview you will be asked if you were ever turned away at the border. You will HAVE to tell them yes and why. Just explain you were going to visit him and they felt you had too much luggage and not enough ties as you told us here. Trust me it is not a big deal.


Most people file for K-1 after being denied entry anyways lol

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1-How long can you wait to submit a packet 3?
I don't know how long you can wait but yes you can submit another I-129F later on down the road for her OR for someone else.
InkyFemaleCanada2011-01-16 11:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSent out initial I-129F packet 1/3/11, how long until notification of acceptance?
Most people never get notified from that form some people do. I wouldn't count on being notified. Just keep watching for the check to get cashed then watch for the NOA1 in the mail. May take around 3 weeks for them to cash the check, keep in mind they have a HUGE volume of petitions flowing in every single day.


You can make an account on USCIS website with a password and ID and when you have your case number from the NOA1 you can periodically check for updates on there or sign up for text msgs for major updates. I found the text msg one was the most reliable when I went through it same for the AOS part as well. I always got texted when something happend with my case and was able to check what the update was right away.

HPV is no longer required for immigration as of last year.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVaccination Requirements
Back when I had my medical in 09, I got my tetnus booster free from my doctor ( in canada ) because I was due for it anyways. When I went to the medical they said I had to get the first vaccination for HVP ( at that time it was still on the list and was required ) The doctor told me if I refused it They would not complete the medical and fwd my refusal to the embassy in turn denying my visa. So I had to have the first HPV shot to complete my medical or no visa. - Just my experience

When it came time for AOS, I went to the civil surgeon to get a 693 done up because I knew there were 2 more HPV shots needed from the series. The doctor signed it off as completed vaccination history ( I ended up not sending in the 693 ) only sent in the vaccination copy I had gotten from the medical in Montreal and was approved for my green card without even a whisp of request for the missing shots. (glad tho because I did not want the rest of the HPV shots, didn't want it in the first place.) - again just my experience

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureslet the games begin.....just sent 129f..whats the next step with a co sponsor
The next step is to wait untill you are approved and have your NOA2 in your hand. Then you can start the I-134 and collect the rest of the documents you need to send your SO.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk1 mailing issues
Have you checked the rules for marrying in the state you intend to marry in? If your under a certain age you will have to have your parents consent, if you don't then no marry.


I believe your mail has to go to a physical mailing address. - How are you going to pay all the fees and get to the medical and interview etc? without them knowing you are applying for a visa.

Doesn't sound like a good idea to hide all that really.

Yes, get a corrected form and bring it to the interview. Notify them of the mistake and give them the corrected sheet at the interview. It is possible that they fixed the mistake already from the divorce papers that you had sent in.

You go on the USCIS website. You make an ACCOUNT. You log on your account and put in your case number to the portfolio. You can then see touches.

They mean nothing and aren't important. The UPDATES are what are important. You can sign up for text or email notification in your account.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F, my current address
I'm not totally sure which one, you need to get the NOA2 because you need a copy of that to file the AOS after you are married.

Which ever address you can collect/get your mail from I would put that on the form.

If someone is collecting mail from your address in the USA and saving it for you, you could have them keep an eye out for the USCIS mails for you and keep them safe.

No not for K-1 because K-1 does not stay at NVC, they log it and then send it to the embassy. Some cases are only there for 2-3 days.

Call DOS if you are looking to find out if your case left NVC.

visa fee

flight fee
Marriage license fee

AOS fee 1070$ after marriage.

My passport has stamps from crossing to visit, never asked for them they just stamped it lol


My husbands passport wasn't stamped, we included copy of every page in colour and a copy of his birth cert.
We opened his passport so that 2 pages of it would be on 1 computer sheet to try to save some sheets.

We had no problems with this, included ticket stubs and itinerary's and 25 photos etc. Front-loaded I guess for Canada but had very fast smooth and no RFEs or hangups anywhere.
