K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresapproval notice
No because you have an interview booked and because the US embassy automatically extends the validity of the petition.

The expiration is not for you nor anyone else it is only for USCIS NVC and the US embassy. It has no meaning to you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresregarding past work history

Excuse me? I was answering the OP's question.



More misinformation.

Proof of petitioner's income is required for the interview in the K1 process.




Ya I don't get it, that guy is prolly giving the OP a heart attack with his bad information!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresregarding past work history

You will not be required to meet any financial criteria until you and your spouse file for AOS. At that time you will need to meet the criteria of an income that equates to 125% over the poverty line for yourself, all of your dependents and your immigrant spouse. If you cannot meet that requirement you will need to have a sponsor.


This is wrong. You have to meet it at the interview for the K-1. Financial criteria is 125% for the K-1 interview for sponsoring. The same thing for the AOS.

They don't care. They only care that you meet the required support amount for the intending immigrants. If you don't you just use a co-sponsor.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarrying in UK
Its a good thing you asked because now you can correct your plan instead of getting all the way through it and finding out you made a horrible horrible mistake.

The K-1 is only for fiance(e) to marry in the USA - that is the requirement. You cannot marry in the UK on a K-1 and enter the USA and adjust status.

You will need to go the spousal visa rout if you seriously are set on marrying in the UK. That is the only way you can do it. 8-9 months after your marriage and she has the spousal visa she can then move to the USA to be with you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBeginning the K-1 process
Example form - to help you fill the form out correctly - http://www.visajourn...Form-I-129F.pdf

B 12 is only answered if the immigrant is in the USA.
Part B is information all about the immigrant not the USC.


You can do the forms on the computer or write them by hand or do both hand and computer typing. It does not matter as long as they can read it.

For 18 you only need to be to the point, 1-2 lines you don't need a whole lifes story in that section.


There really is no fast way in this process.
The K-1 is going to cost more than a spousal visa.
The spousal visa gets her a green card on entry so she could work right away the K-1 does not do that.
You have to make sure you have priority's straight when choosing what you are doing with the visa routs. View the visa comparison charts http://www.visajourn...content/compare
If she wants to work right away then you should be filing a spousal visa after your marriage. If she does not care to work right away then go ahead with the K-1 visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioner is a student....
The only problem it causes is that you will have to find a co-sponsor because he has no income.
The co-sponsor needs to make 125% of the poverty guidelines for their family + you. Here is the guide sheet http://www.uscis.gov...form/i-864p.pdf
As long as someone makes enough and can co-sponsor then you are fine.


Make sure you research AOS because you cannot start working until you have the EAD or green card in your hand. AOS is filed after marriage once in the USA and it takes 3-4 months to get an EAD after filing AOS so you need to add on the time it takes you to marry and file for AOS to the 3-4 month wait time for the EAD card.
Its likely you wont be working for 5+ months.

So how I gonna sponsor my fiancé then? :( I don't earn like 10,000 per anum i have like 2,000$ my account right now so how can I bring him? Is there any other option?

thank you.


You ask your friends or co-workers if they are willing to help by co-sponsoring.

You get a second or 3rd job to make them amount required on your own.

I don't know anyone have Attorney as joint sponsor :( If anyone have Attorney as their joint sponsor please guide me.

No it does not mean that.
Hiring an attorney has nothing to do with them being a joint sponsor. They do not sponsor immigrants because you hired them. They only fill out the forms for you for an insane amount of fees.

You can still get RFE before an interview, at an interview or after an interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F returned for missing money order?!

The person who dealt with the call at USCIS said the only thing to do is send it again with payment. We're cancelling the order and, because it's quicker, my fiancée's family is making a withdrawal on their account and we're using a money order from them to make the payment. Apparently it's possible to sign the order even though it came from another account, as the order has basically been bought already.


From a US account in the USA right? if not it wont be accepted.
InkyFemaleCanada2012-06-11 17:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F returned for missing money order?!

That green sheet was on top. Underneath it was the money order, not attached to anything, ..snip..


Thats the big problem right there, it should have at least been paper clipped to the page behind it. My suggestion of it falling out and not being seen/getting lost is 100% possible.

See if you can get a hold of an officer and have them check the case adjudicators desk area if they could possibly locate it.

Yep it happens, Human error.
Its quite possible the money order fell out on the desk and got lost among the papers on the desk or fell to the floor.

Sometimes people have been able to get answers/help for this type of issue by calling and speaking to an officer on the USCIS line.

1 very large paper clip.

They take it apart throw everything away and use their own folders and their own clips.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDivorce decree copy

He already went to the court he needs the case number and he calls the lawyer over and over and he says I have it I'll bring it and nothing. We are in the first stage and I want to send everything out immediately that is why I want a copy. I am asking the lawyer to send a scanned copy and mail the original to my fiance since he is being annoyingly ridiculous about going to my fiance's home town. His latest excuse was "its raining i'm not coming out". I am just so happy I never got a lawyer for our K-1 process or I'd be dealing with this type of stuff.

Did you read the instructions for your interview from your embassy? not all embassys request the same things. Some request more some request less.

They can delay your interview by withholding the results - this has happened many times.

If the doctor finds something questionable on the Xray or during the exam they have the power to withhold your results until you see a specialist / get confirmation that you are not seriously ill.

If you have any previously known illness make sure you bring documents from your personal doctor along with treatment notes / medication notes etc.
