K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSSN Application
She would check it if she has not gotten her EAD or her green card as shes NOT allowed to work but is allowed to have an ssn card/number.

When i filed mine I had NOT filed yet for aos. I checked that box and they requested to see my passport, my out-of-country drivers license and my marriage certificate as proof I was allowed to be issued an SSN. It took about a month to get it in the mail after that.

So i would check legal alien allowed to work even though I do not have a EAD or filled AOS yet?



No you dont have ead or green card you arent allowed to work. if you check it they will ask for your ead or green card which you wont be able to provide.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAbout K-1 await
Depending on your state you move to, you may not be able to start school as early as you think. Many of the schools have different credit needs than canadian schools and many american schools require profesional transcript reading before they will even look at your request to apply at the school. In nebraska you cannot attend a college or university as a resident under resident fees untill you have lived in the state for 12 months. If you want to attend early you will pay non resident fees which are double the regular price.

If you are wanting to look at schools you should look at your state regulations first and learn about what they require and what the schools require of your former school transcripts etc first.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence of support and affidavit 134
K1 visa YES you need an I-134. You need all supporting documents with it to prove he is above the poverty lines and can support you.
He needs pay stubs, bank statement, letter from employer stating pay etc.

The information on supporting documents is in the instructions. There are example forms on visajourney to help you fill forms out.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresa couple of questions about k-1
packet 3 is physical, but you can download the forms from visajourney and fill them out ahead of time. Only 1-2 forms are done online and submitted online based on your embassy because some dont accept the online forms just yet where as others do.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Package
I don't see why the gov would charge you extra postage. Generally they have set envelopes for mailing out and have already paid postage on them or use electronic postage codes when mailing.

As I said before they see this all the time. You just need to attach a detailed letter about deployment and why the mail needs to be sent to her and not you. It helps if you have your order sheets to staple to it as well or a letter from your shirt stating upcoming deployment.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForms signed in blue ink!!!!!! Help
No its not a problem.

Some people have gotten RFE for signing in black ink, they thought the black ink was a copy and not an actual signature. So signing in blue was a better idea so they see that its an actual signature.

generally put whichever service center you are mailing the entire packet to. ours was mailed to cali so we put the cali address on top of our letters.

for the additional sheet, I copied the dates and the location name of all the visits I made to him and he made to me just in a list style from most recent to first. Then included all ticket stub/itinerary and passport stamps that showed the dates of travel as evidence.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat if my fiancée gets a scholarship abroad?
1) If she's abroad how will they be able to contact her for requested documents or an interview? And part b) would she need to travel back to her country to complete these items?

She would have to travel back for the interview and medical and to get police papers and other papers for the interview.

2) Once she enters the US on the K1 she can't leave until she's established residence, correct? This could impede, possibly suspend, her scholarship, so that's something we need to think about.

She cannot leave when she gets the K1 untill she has married and filed for AOS and recieved her EAD or Green Card. Even then she cannoth leave to live somewhere else for 1-2 years or they will take her green card away because she is supposed to be living in america.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen to apply?
Degree and school dont mean anything in the visa process. Lack of income doesnt mean anything IF you can get a co-sponcer. If you meet the requirements with a co-sponcer than file. Its up to you if you want to get married and be together or stay appart longer.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPublic charge proof
Does the public record tell you if she is using any means tested benefits or if she is using the government to support herself? If that has the ability to show she is or isnt using it then that might help. Not sure what else you could do tho for proof if you cant contact her or get it from her.
InkyFemaleCanada2010-08-22 12:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPublic charge proof
The Embassy can ask whatever questions they want and request whatever evidence they want. They must have a reason behind asking this tho as its a pretty concentrated question about your former wife being public charge.

What would make them think she is public charge right now? and request papers saying she isnt.
Can you contact her some way maybe through a line of friends or search her name on google/facebook to get the paper/letter from her that you need?

She will need a police certificate from canada since she lived there for 5 years. She needs the certificate to be valid up untill the date she leaves canada. The police cert will be valid for 1 year from the date of issue even tho it doesnt say it on the paper. It would be easier for her to get one before she leaves canada, it gets harder when shes not in canada to request one and takes alot longer to get it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical Exam in Toronto
I was going to have mine at his medical center in montreal, i called the montreal number quite a few times and left messages and never once had a returned call. After getting fed up I called the toronto location to attempt to get ahold of someone which I did after calling 8 times 15mins appart each time. The woman told me I can call the montreal appointment number line to make an appointment I told her I had been for the last 3 weeks and no one answers or returns my msgs. She said that if I called right after I hung up with her that someone would answer. She sounded like she was in some sort of call center alot of other people talking in the background. So I hung up and called the montreal number right away and had NO ANSWER! I left another message and NEVER RECEVIED A CALL BACK not ONCE ever. I ended up calling medisys in montreal and got an appointment right away with them and they told me the cost over the phone and everything I needed to bring with me for them.
