K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How long does it takes for your embassy to schedule an interview?	Montreal takes 3 - 4 months. 10 days is not that bad so far Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-15 07:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	filling out the G-325A for submission along with I-129F	She would not put her current address because she has not been there longer than 1 year. She will put the address before her current one that she was at for 5.5 years For the employment part, listing 'none' indicates that she is not working. Is this true? The example form lists that spot as blank because the information IS listed above What more material would she have to show? Regardless, she must put the place of birth of her parents. She cannot leave that blank. Good luck Edited by canadian_wife, 16 August 2010 - 04:37 AM.	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-16 04:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	RFE recieved confirmation	No, this is normal. It can take 60 days to get them to respond to the evidence you submitted I know it's tough, sit tight! Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-17 04:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Is RFE has expiration? until when?	What does it say on your RFE? Ours said 60 days but I'm not sure if that has changed or varied depending on what is being asked of you Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-15 07:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	previous k1 visa	No of course not. A 2nd petitioner is not a reason for denial. however, it must be disclosed and it may be scrutinized Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-19 03:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Work & AP on a K-1	K3 is a visa. Visas are needed to enter the country. When you arrive in the US on a K-1, there is no need for another visa since you are already in the country. When you arrive in the US on your K-1, you will marry within 90 days and then file your Adjustment of Status from non-immigrant to green card holder. When you apply for AOS, you then apply for your EAD to work (can't work until then) and your AP to travel. If you leave the country without AP, you abandon your adjustment of status Follow the guides for adjustment from K1 http://www.visajourn...content/k1k3aos Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-20 04:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-129F Question #11	Yes, the answer would be yes if you submitted a petition (I-130 and I-129F) for this woman Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-20 18:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Engaged Aussie	Well shoot! Thanks for the correction. L is the way to go then!	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-22 18:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Engaged Aussie	My only concern is that an L visa is a non-immigrant visa. If you intend on being an immigrant, I suggest you file an immigrant visa petition or a dual intent petition like a k visa Just my advice Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-22 18:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Engagement Ring Before Filing K-1	Having an engagement ring is not a requirement for filing the petition. In fact, I never had an engagement ring Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-22 15:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Starting K1 process - Living in UK?	http://www.visajourney.com/content/dcf No, you don't have to remain in the UK for the entire process. In fact, it is assumed you will return to the US to re-establish domicile. As long as you meet the requirements when you file, you should be fine Read the link I gave you about how to qualify and file DCF I assume you've been legally in the UK under a work visa for more than 6 months?!?!? Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-23 18:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Would it be ok if...	I can only assume that Germany works faster than the incredibly slow Montreal consulate so consider yourself lucky File the petition with her current address and update it when she moves Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-24 15:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	A few questions	Vancouver~you lucky duck! The co-sponsor can be any US citizen, family or friend. Well, the point of this journey is for him to show he can support you. If you have significant savings (at a 3 to 1 ratio of 125% above the poverty level) then your assest may be able to count Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-25 19:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	A few questions	Your fiance will have to prove his US citizenship, this can be in the form of a birth certificate or a passport. Yes, you will need your birth certificate eventually - consulate stage. It will have to be the long form, the one with your parents listed. It has to be translated but you cannot translate it yourself. It does not have to be an accredited transoator, they just have to sign it and state they are qualified to translate it (others will step up and fix my mistakes on this) No, your benefits do not count towards the finances. You have to show how HE can support you. You can find a cosponsor if you can. I'm assuming you in Eastern Canada (east of Ontario) so you're interview will be in Montreal, I'm sorry but it is a terribly slow consulate Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-25 18:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	k1 interview	e-mailing each other is not a requirement. Focus on primary evidence like hotel receipts, bording passes, passport stamps, etc Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-29 16:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	stop over in vancouver	http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/twov-tsv/iaa-iiac-eng.html Vancouver is the approved airport and Philippines Airlines is one of the approved airlines.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	stop over in vancouver	You enter Canada when you enter Vancouver. You need a Transit visa. good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-12 11:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 Work Visa Permit at Dulles	Udella&Wiz, I see your point and I understand you,It is true what you're saying. I want to underline that this is a general idea,I surely don't want to say others what to do; I will enter the US with a K1 visa next year,and me and my fiancèe will get married within few days after my arrival - when I read that the waiting times for the EAD was of 3 months,my jaws dropped...I don't see any major risk in trying to work for example as a waiter in a restaurant for a couple of months while my AOS and EAD will be in processing. Again,this is me - but I simply can't see myself being a charge for my girlfriend and her family for months. Kind Regards Can you see yourself getting in trouble for working without authorization? And can you see yourself telling the truth about it at your AOS interview or can you see yourself lying about it? If you wanted immediate work upon entrance into the US, you should have filed for a CR1 spousal visa GOod luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-30 11:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 Work Visa Permit at Dulles	And it is true that the K1 was NEVER work authorized. Until February 2009 there were some vagaries in the wording of the I-9 form that allowed some K-1s to "get away" with working. In February 2009 the DHS cleared up the confusaion and changed the wording on the I-9. There was no change in "the law". Such would have required an act of congress. The "change" was implemented with the change of a few words on a form. Thanks for the clarification Gary! I appreciate it	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-29 16:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 Work Visa Permit at Dulles	Agree with Gary and Alla, the K1 has never been work authorized, you CANNOT work with a K-1 - regardless of whatever stamp is given in the passport Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-29 14:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	OMG Do I really need this...?	NOTE: We haven't received the NOA2 yet so there is still time if I do need to open one. (I just don't like banks. So I'll only open it if absolutely necessary). You just filed, you're a few months away from your NOA2 Good luck Audy_Rob has great advice for you	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-29 10:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	a couple of questions about k-1 pt.2	In order to get a military expedite, your fiance must submit proof of imminent military deployment. they simply will not take his word for it. Letters from CO's must be sent. Canadian citizens do not receive special treatment. I waited 178 days for my NOA-2 alone. that's special treatment? Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-08-30 14:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 and waiver	Submitting the I-601 at the time of the visa denial (at the interview) is consulate specific. Not all consululates allow the waiver packet to be submitted at the interview US immigration does not recognize unborn children as persons. So until the child is born, it is not an actual 'person' to be recognized on any forms. Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-09-01 06:59:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Canadian Recently Denied Entry/Overstay	No need to include a letter, they will already know you overstayed. No need to 'justify' it. You will be asked about it at your interview, because it must be disclosed on the Ds-230, simply tell the truth then and you'll be fine Good luck PS - any attempts to re-enter the US are now much more difficult. You will likely be taken into secondary and asked about your ties to Canada. If you plan on visiting again, make sure you have heaps of ties	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-09-03 04:32:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	AP questions :	Alright sounds good but what i dont understand is… the part where they ask you the date of leaving and how long youll be out of the country etc … what do i write ? im i allound to write "Unknow" or "just in case" ? im a bit confused on that one !	star_shine	Female	Canada	2010-08-30 09:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	AP questions :	If you are filing for adjustment of status, you normally cannot leave the US without permission. (If you do, it will be presumed you have abandoned the AOS process, so it is closed.) Most people get it while doing the AOS process, since, there is no charge for it (and you can apply for it after you sent in the initial AOS, still free) - just in case they need to travel prior to getting the greencard. Be warned though, you have to make sure you are eligible for the AP, if you have any overstay over 180+ days, even with an approved AP, you could be subject to a ban upon your re-entry in the US. So i dont have to send the AP form at the same time as my EAO AND AOS ?? ( if 1-2 months from now i need to go back home for something i can still apply for the form for free? if i havent received my green card?)	star_shine	Female	Canada	2010-08-29 12:58:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	AP questions :	Hello i have a question.. regarding the AP form ! Me and my husband are in the middle of filling our AOS paper work.. and the AP form , i know its optional.. But what is excactly .. ? is it for people who are planning on leaving the USA for a bit or is it a permition in case u need a permition to leave the usa ? If we decide not to do this form(because im not planning on leaving the usa for a bit) and later on the road we change our mind or i need to go home for a emergency something like that.. can i still apply for the form ?(without the fee) Any advice would be Nice and helpful thank you	star_shine	Female	Canada	2010-08-29 12:14:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visa Fee Increase	Oh, wow. Well, thank you for the information, it helps tremendously.	MariaElizabeth	Female	0	2010-07-20 09:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visa Fee Increase	Hi, I heard information about a fee increase that was in affect beginning July 13, 2010. I came across the fee for the K-1 Visa which is still at $455.00, but then read that there is a new fee of $350.00 which is the cost for the interview at the US consulate. I also read on VJ that the K-1 Visa decreased to an amount of $350.00. I am confused. There is a lot of different posts I have been reading and I am not sure which is accurate. Can somebody confirm what is correct change with the charges for the K-1 Visa? Greatly appreciated.	MariaElizabeth	Female	0	2010-07-19 23:45:00
