K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 when already sponsored for an employment-based GC?
To my limited knowledge there is no problem with applying for two different visa's at the same time. I would think however that applying for the K-1 would make actually receiving her employment based visa very difficult.

I don't think theres anything illegal about applying for both.

If she does receive her employment visa you can have the K-1 going through the works at the same time and then she will need to return back to her home country for the K1 visa interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTravelling to The US during fiancee visa application
QUOTE (TimMel @ Aug 8 2009, 01:32 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
hi everybody,


I'm in the middle of fiancee visa application. And I'm going to postphone it. But I want to visit my fiance in the US in two months. So I need to apply for tourist visa. But when I fill out the DS-156 form, there is a question I need to answer:" Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?" What should I put down, yes or no? If yes, will my tourist visa be refused?



thanks,
Mel


K1 is a non-immigrant visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresJust some questions
1. What is NOA1 ? I see it listed as "first notice" in the FAQs etc. but what exactly is it ? is form 797C a receipt with number considered an NOA1 ? Or is it just the 797C and I am yet to receive NOA1 ? I am unclear.

I-797c = NOA1

2. What exactly is NOA2 ? It says on the FAQs , guides etc., that it is 2nd Action of Notice for me and my fiance to start gathering required documents such as proof of relationship, identity, citizenship, passport photos etc.
But I already submitted all those things along with much extra material along with our G325A and I-129 forms. So will I still receive NOA2, since everything is already submitted ?

Yes you will receive an NOA2, you need the NOA2 for your interview at the consulate which is where they will actually give you a visa.

3. My fiance has a daughter. Her daughter will not be initially coming to live with us, she currently lives with her father. But she will most likely be coming to USA once she reaches high-school age, in about 2-3 years.
What kind of visa is used for a foreign child of a US citizen or legal resident ? I looked around and on the USCIS website and I am confused. is it K1, or K2 ? and which forms ? I-129 ? or I-130 ? also what are the timelines and
procedures on such ? is it the same as the K1 fiance visa ? about 5 months ? longer ? shorter ? I do not see info on K2 visas available.

As long as you included the daughter on the I-129f under children of beneficiary then you are golden here. You will be able to include her later when your fiance does her portion of the application.

4. What sort of visa do we need for her daughter just to come for a summer vacation and then go back to China ? I do not see any info on this whatsoever.

That would be a B2, however it might be in your best intrest to have her use her K2 visa at that time and then you can proceed to do her AOS even after she returns home. Don't quote me on that I could be wrong.

I have to say we are both just overwhelmed by all we didnt know and what we will have to do. My Fiance is coming to the U.S. in Sept. from the U K for visit and engagement. We are 61 and 62 years old. Do we send the K1 forms out now, when he comes to visit or when he leaves to go back home? He will be here for a week on a B2 visa, he only booked his flight for a week and thought he would be able to just stay and we get married and then go back to settle affairs and then return to the U.S. because he had no idea we would have to go through all of this. I am so glad I found this place because all of this can be heart wrenching to say the least.
I have so many questions i don't know where to begin.So again, my first question is when do we send out I-129F
Thanks to all that can help in anyway


You can send the I-129f whenever you want the when is not nearly important as the how. Make sure you read through the guides and make sure you have all the required documents and other stuff.

Best of luck to you both and welcome to VJ, enjoy your week together!!

I was checking out Igor's list for CSC and I noticed that there was less applicants for June and July than for May. May had 100 and June about 68. Are there less people applying do you think because of the recession or is it just that people fill in their timelines late? Just curious. smile.gif


You'll see more people filling in timelines everyday, the list will continue to grow. There are some slower months however for whatever reason. March vs. April was fairly significant last time I checked. I think also that the summers are a bit slower as people are spending time on vacations together and wait until vacation time is over to file.

However, I have read from this site that case number is 'on the back of the cheque'. If he is looking at his bank information online, is the cheque number the actual case number, or is there somewhere else we have to look to find the number, just so we can confirm that the application is all good?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan you enter on a tourist visa even though you have already received your K1?
QUOTE (MetteMatt @ Aug 10 2009, 04:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My fiance and I are currently waiting for our NOA2. We expect to receive it in October and then ultimately receive the K1 visa in December or January.

She finishes her internship in February and we'd like to have her move over here around that time. But recently we have been discussing wedding plans with her family and July will work best for the wedding (because of their availability and work schedules).

My question is can my fiance enter the US on a tourist visa in February even though she will have received the K1 visa in January? If we are going to have the wedding in July the 90 day period would mean that she would have to leave and re-enter the US with her K1 visa sometime in April. I don't want her to spend an additional 2-3 months away from me when she could be using that time to live over here, get adjusted and plan the wedding.

Are you required to use the K1 visa if you have received it? Or can you decide when you use it since it is only a single-entry visa?

Thanks for your help. Let me know if my question makes sense.


I wouldn't count on being able to do this. Better safe than sorry it would suck to plan on a short trip and not be prepared for having your K1 used up.

So long as you are a citizen of Canada the Canadian Border will never be closed to you. The American one is the one you might have trouble getting through. Bring a return flight and your NOA1. Tell the truth and check out the guides, theres a section dedicated to Canadians visiting Americans during the process.

No judgement :

There will be red flags if you apply again for anyone. Within the next 2 years will be even more red flags due to having to get a waiver. The onus of proof will be on you to prove that any future relationship is bona fide.

What you write on your letter doesn't really matter as long as you make it clear that you are "Withdrawing your I-129f". Be sure to include the case number and keep a copy for yourself handy. In a couple of weeks call the USCIS to verify that they received your withdrawal.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEntering USA after marriage on tourist visa
From the guides:

If you are already married, and your spouse came to the US on a tourist visa with the intent of immigration and marriage, then he/she should return to his/her home abroad, and the I-130 (or along with an I-129f for a K-3 Visa) should be filed with the relative outside of the U.S. to avoid denial, deportation, or even being banned from re-entry to the US.

The above conditions are serious and can result in the separation of families for many years if not taken seriously.

Did you have preconceived intent? That is against immigration laws and therefore illegal and inadvisable on this forum.

QUOTE (NyDan @ Aug 10 2009, 06:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello,

Do I need to translate a Brazilian address on my form I-129F?

E.g., should I translate "Rua Sao Paulo 2100" to "Sao Paulo Street 2100?"

"Avenida do Contorno" to "Contorno Avenue?"

The consulate/embassy will use the address to send documents to my fiance, correct? Just don't want to mess this up...

Also, it's normal in Brazil for the street number to be placed after the street name. Should I leave it like that, or switch the order to number first as in the U.S.?

Thanks in advance.


I don't recall there having been a spot for adress in native alphabet only their name in the native alphabet. If there is a spot for adress in native alphabet I would do as you are suggesting (translate the adress).

However if there isn't I would not. Any records that the immigration people might be trying to get off of an adress would not be searchable by their english spelling, I would think.

If you are concerned you can always attach it on a seperate sheet and let the adjuticator decide which on to use.

Do not tamper with or change in any way your "certified copy" of any of your divorce decree's. At that point they are no longer considered "certified".

The USCIS does not care about the sorted details of your personal life, they might however wonder what you're hiding if they notice black streaks all over your official documents.

I'd be reluctant to call this early, boy who cried wolf mentality, you may need them to take you seriously at some point. If it's not been 5 months than generally they won't take you seriously.

Just a little advice. Before this process is over, you will need LOTS of passport photos, like 12-15 (depending how many the medical clinic wants and the forms you file with AOS) so you may as well get some done now, correctly, and have them if you get an RFE. When we started this process we made about 15 or so photos (I forget exactly) and used the same ones from the petition to the AOS. There was ONE left when we got done.


Agreed, no one can guess if you will or won't get an RFE but it won't hurt to have a few passport pictures already in your possesion in case you do.

EFT = Electronic Funds Transfer

When a cheque is cashed it's not an EFT. The USCIS does not use EFT.

When you give your employer your banking information and they deposit straight into your account thats an EFT. If you give your car insurance provider your banking information so they can withdraw your insurance payment monthly that is an EFT.

Your fiance definatly did the right thing freezing his account if he feels someone is wrongly making EFT's on his account.

Did you ship your I-129f with a tracking number?


Really? I'm really confused now, because on the instructions for the I-129f, it says

"Notice to Those Making Payment by Check. If you send us a check, it will be converted into an electronic funds transfer (EFT). This means we will copy your check and use the account information on it to electronically debit your account for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will usually take 24 hours, and will be shown on your regular account statement. You will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your original check, but we will keep a copy of it. If the EFT cannot be processed for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check. If the EFT cannot be completed because of insufficient funds, we may try to make the transfer up to two times."

He's blaming himself because I told him to send it through UPS or some other mail carrier with a tracking number, and he sent it regular mail :|


I've never seen that before. Most people have a picture of the cancelled cheque available to them at their bank.

As you can tell, there's a few problems with this whole thing.

He told me that he could not view the cheque online when I asked. He uses Bank of America, so I don't know if that makes a difference or not. When I keep prodding him about numbers on the cheque, he told me that the check was never endorsed and it was a straight EFT for the amount written on the cheque. He had an inquiry put on who made the EFT, but other than that, there isn't anything we can do. I am going to try and convince him to call the bank again and see if there's anything at all. As I said before, I am not even sure how an EFT works, and the fact that USCIS says they use EFTs but no one here can really agree if they do or not, the whole thing is utterly confusing.

As for the mail.. he has two addresses; his legal address isn't the same one he comes home to everyday. He checks his legal address once a week or so, and I told him that we should have gotten one. However, this isn't the first time the government has done this to him.. we had the same wait problem with his passport, where they said it was sent and it never showed up, and he had to get another one re-issued.

The other thing I wanted to ask.. if the bank says that it was Homeland Security that EFT'd the cheque..but they don't have a copy of that cheque for whatever reason, even though I am sure they must have something, how would we proceed to find out about our case if we don't even have a number to track by? Arrg. I am just hoping the Bank can tell us something but this whole thing has turned into a nightmare.

My fiance said the bank said it was an Electronic Fund Transfer on the account. Do I believe this is from Homeland Security..or something else? He's at work right now so I can't really ask him about the entire conversation. This is what he told me last night: " It stated that the check has been pulled via EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) from my account. No check number was used (IE: my check never cleared, it was eft'd)."

Either way..there's an inquiry on it..not sure if that will harm us or help us.
