K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresscheduling an interview

I think I might as well take advantage of the free healthcare of canada bcos its not gonna be free in US.But im really disappointed but i guess i can check everyday and pray that someone will cancell their appointment then i can jump and get an earlier appointment. its a very long wait. almost 5 months for the NOA2 and almost 4 months for the interview.But im looking forward to see montreal again, its a very beautiful city.


I don't even want to imagin the cost of having a baby in america! I would say if you can you might as well have it there it would be a lot less expencive thats for sure! But I agree its a long wait and would be nice to have the baby in the US with your man and not have to worry about filing more papers and such for the baby.

Just incase you do have to have the baby in canada heres the CRBA website for you.

Cross it out and write the proper name in. White-out shouldnt be used on government documents.

I had an error on the zipcode and at the interview they made me cross it out and put in the correct zipcode infront of them.

Go back to writing your thesis! Dont make your work/education suffer. Worry a bout things when they happen and work through them when they happen. Dont put your life on hold till then.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould I be concerned?? Check NOT Cashed!!
On your sig it says november 18th. That was a thursday sat and sun dont count as days of the week. They have only had your petition for 3 days.

Your going to need to relax because the process is long and slow. As others have said holidays are coming up and people are taking lots of time off so thats going to slow things even more.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPassport not stamped
They often dont stamp the passports. Iv made many airplane trips where they only looked at my passport and didnt stamp it. Only a few times did they stamp it. My husband only got 1 stamp out of all 4 visits too.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy employer did not pay my Taxes to the IRS
You don't have to answer but im currious as to why as an american citizen you would take a strange job like that with no forms filled out and strange payments being made to you in check form? Something like that would of sent alarm bells going off like crazy in my mind at the interview and if not then the first day I got payed with a personal business check.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1: 12 weeks and still no NOA1
If the check isnt cashed he wont be getting any sort of NOA1. Either the petition is sitting on a desk somewhere or he sent it to the wrong place or it got lost or he never sent it. Call and find out if its lost somewhere in their mail room.
InkyFemaleCanada2010-11-25 00:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP US PLEASE
If USCIS has not cashed your check its most likely they have never gotten the package you sent them or its sitting in a pile somewhere in their mail room for the last 30 days. I would follow up with the mail carrier and see what happend to it. Specially since the package has a lot of personal information in it as well as a check. If the post says that the mail was delivered then you know that USCIS has it sitting in their mail room, then I would call USCIS and ask for a supervisor or T2 operatior and find out why they havent fished the package out of the mail room for 30 days.

They do not care that she is pregnant no you don't need to notify USCIS.

No you don't need a DNA test.

No you can't expedite for pregnancy. - thats what CRBA is for if the baby is born abroad you file a CRBA and the baby gets a US passport.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWaiting....
Have you gotten your NOA1 and NOA2?

What is your timeline? did they cash your check?


You can call the military hotline and ask if you can expedite but you may not be granted it since you are CURRENTLY deployed. Most of the expedites are granted due to the active duty military person that is ABOUT to deploy.

Please keep in mind OPSEC when posting also.. not disclosing locations.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuick Question - K-1 Attachment Divorce Decree
We included a copy of the whole thing with the K-1 petition.

We were asked for the ENTIRE thing (original that he was given after finalization) at the interview including the final page. They did look at every page as well as check the final page. After he looked at it he gave it back to me.
InkyFemaleCanada2010-12-01 12:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about I-134
You send it to her after you get your NOA2. You should read the instructions for the I-134 and collect the documents you will need. Sign and date it just before you mail it off after the NOA2 because she needs a copy of the NOA2 as well.

I-134 is for the interview not the initial package sent to USCIS.

You will start to learn that USCIS and their website case status and their notifications SUCK. They are quite often wrong or arent updated or your getting backwards updates.

Just relax, most of the process is generally delayed notices.

You will need to be making 125% of the poverty line for the number of your house hold. If you dont make it then you will need a joint or co-sponcer.

125% for a 2 person family (you and ur SO) is $18,212.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPossibly silly question

I will have the originals of the petition package.
I´m asking if I need another package replica besides the original documents from which the copies were made.
For example, I´m the beneficiary, hes sending copy of my divorce certificate. For the interview, will I need another copy or just the original document?


Yes you need a copy, they dont keep the original they take both and look at them. They give you the original back and keep the copy. They do not like to make copys for you. You need to bring extra copys of everything.
InkyFemaleCanada2010-12-08 16:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPossibly silly question
If you get to the interview and they tell you they are missing this this and this... and you dont have it because you didnt have an extra copy then what? Not saying it will happen but its very possible it can. Hence why they say make extra copys of EVERYTHING. Just in case.

They will either approve your request or not, then your petition will be looked at and they will deside if they are to approve it or not. Then it will be sent to NVC then it will be sent to the embassy on a faster track than "regular".

You will have to gather proof and send it in to request an expedite. Its up to them to deside if your able to be given an expedite. ETS is generally 10 days from the request that you should have a result on if they approved it or not for expedite.

You need to type a new one that is different from the first but has the basic points to it, that you are still legal and free to marry and you still want to and are going to marry.. my husband wrote up some silly letter and told me i had to give it to them. Cant remember quite what he wrote in it but I remember the interviewer I had was laughing and said it was " cute ". After he read it he said welcome to america.
