K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresApplying for a K-1 Visa from WITHIN the US (student status)?
K-1 visa specifically pertains to get your foreign fiance to the US. Once you enter on a K-1, you have 90 days to get married and the file for adjustment of status.
However, in your case, you are already in the US on a student visa. So, it is better for you to just get married and then file for adjustment of status from your student to a resident.
Please direct your other posts to the Canadian forum the members out there will be able to help you a lot.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDS-230 Part II Question??
DS-230 Part II is not required for the K-1 visa applicants as it is a non-immigrant visa, and the Part II is used for immigrant applicants.If you want, you might take that section along with you at the interview but they won't ask for it.
Hope this helps!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDivorce Decree or Divorce Cert
I sent the first two pages of my divorce decree to USCIS and it was accepted. But all I have is a copy of a certified copy, and I only have the first two pages, I don't have the whole thing...So I ordered a divorce certificate just in case I need it at the embassy.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 FEE

Hey Starshine. Ok it might be different from Vancouver to Montreal but I received a letter informing me of the new fee and that I was to bring the letter with me to the consulate along with my interview letter. I would contact the Montreal consulate by email or phone I am not sure which is better for you guys and ask them about it!


Well sadly my Interview Letter is sealed in with my medical results apparently! i never received my letter back and when i called the medical place they told me it was in the envelope :bonk: why i have no idea!!!
ill bring enough money to cover whatever but still .. would be nice of montreal to either call or send something to people! ah well!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBeginning the Process
Don't worry about coming and going - I go to the US quite often and i haven't had any problems. Once I said I was going to see my fiance, they ask how long, sometimes ask where I work and the last time I went down to the US. If you have intentions of NOT returning on said date and becoming illegal, then it would be an issue. but I think there is no problem with him going back and forth..as long as Canada can tie him to a job, home, etc. any ties to his country. good luck. I have been engaged since june but have not filed paperwork as of yet.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK Visa Application Questions
Hi All,

Just learned about this site. Wish I had known about it sooner. Already have received an NOA 2 and package from the consulate, so just a few questions( hope this is the right place to post.)

1. I am a Canadian marrying an American. I have been to the US many, many times( we don't require visas). What should I write in the section which asks how many times I have visited the US?

2. Do I need to send copies of the docs ( passport etc.) along with the forms?

3. The Medical exam info says I have to provide the date of the interview when I call for an app't, but I don't get my interview date until I send all the required forms back including the checklist saying that I have made my app't for the medical. Any advice?

Thanks so much.

Usually just white envelopes with one of the little window things on it showing your name and address. in the corner it has the address of the USCIS center thats processing your things, thats all.


Ok, great! As long as it has an address in the corner I can tell her to look for that's perfect. I just didn't want her having to open everything. Thanks!! smile.gif


No problem, oh and some of my envelopes have the UCIS DOS seal on them and some dont. Just a stamp on the front with the eagle and the sheild thing. But yea just regular looking mail ! hehe

you need to meet the 125% povertyline and not sure if my math is correct but you make about 7200 before tax a year. You do not meet the 125% povertyline. Even with your savings you dont meet the line. Like the poster above states you need a co-sponser for your soon fiance, they dont sponser you they sponser her.

2 person family poverty line is 18,212$

You have to wait they cant interview you without your files and papers. An approved letter wont help you as they have nothing at haiti yet. chile needs to send it to haiti then haiti needs to review your papers and give you an interview time based on their interview availability times. Embassys can renew petition validity.

I have a question abou i-134 I am using a sponser with this because last year I did not make enough. I just got a job a comple months ago make a decent amount. My question is on the i-134 it asks for current annual income. Do I put what I made before? What I have made up to now this year? Or what I will make at this job as long as I stay employed there? I am a bit confused on this anyone can help ? Thanks blush.gif



You answered this one yourself =) it asks for current annual income! which means the income that you make now annually. You would put the total for the year that you would make before taxes.

you would include your former year of taxes with a letter stating that you obtained a new job recently. A letter from your new employer would be good to add as well with your annual income etc on it.

Every beneficiary must get a police certificate - regardless of if they have a record or not.

Since each embassy is different, I am not sure how long it will be valid for (generally 6 months or 1 year). Ask in your regional forum or your consulate to be sure

Good luck.
