K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical Exam
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.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 vs K3 for someone who already has a tourist visa?
K3 is an obsolete spousal visa. K3 is not the correct term.

Your dads ramblings are incorrect and also visa fraud.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long in advance can I fill out the form???

Hello all!

I am still waiting for NOA2, but was wondering if I could already fill out the form for the interview DS 230, DS 156, ETC etc.., These form must to be printed after you fill out, so for me to avoide any mistake I wanted to do it in advaced.

If I should not do it, what would be the next thing that I could do>

Any advice?

Thanks all


Complete waste of time for you to do them now. You will have to redo them later. Just wait until you have the NOA2 then fill them out.

im really sorry to hear that Jamkay why dont you ge married in DR, that way you can show them that your relationship is true...i dont think theres a reason of why he does not qualify for K1 if he said you should married her...other tha sh has any criminal records or any disease but im guesssing thats no the case if he suggested marriage


This has been told to people before and they go get married and come back on the forums yelling when their petition is denied again when they are married. The OP needs to find out why the petition was denied and correct the issue before going ahead.

Thanks. My thoughts exactly. If we get married will we be denied when we file again.


If you do not find out the problem and correct it, you could be denied again for the very same thing.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiance visa co-sponsor help - DESPERATE

thanks for your information, but that doesn't leave me with enough information to make me feel like 'i get it'
so we both fill out the I-134 forms, and send them. what about the I-864 forms??


I-864 is not usually used by the US embassy for K-1 visa, very few embassys will take these. They are supposed to be for adjustment of status in the USA after marriage.

Unless it is specific to Greece asking for them at the interview you should not need an I-864 for a K-1 interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioner = US Navy

OP, is it possible this is for an expedite for special circumstances by petitioner in the armed forces? I'm confused why SLMC. Anyway, I'd be interested to know what the outcome is. Would you please keep us posted?


No it is proper procedure, military persons must follow chain of command as well as security procedures and get approval before being allowed to marry.


Expedite for military is different, it includes getting order papers and sending them, with letter from the command.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioner = US Navy
Someone who works for (civilian employed by the navy) or someone who is IN the US navy? there is a difference between the two.


If the person is in the US Navy there are certain security requirements that must be done before being approved to marry.

If the person is a civilian working for the US Navy I have never heard of them having to get a medical first for their soon to be spouse.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 versus K-3
The K-1 is easier because the K-3 is obsolete and no longer used. So you really have only 1 choice there lol. If you want to go the spousal route you go CR-1.

That would be this guide, right?:
http://www.visajourn...tent/i130guide1

For your situation, returning to Canada after marriage, no the I485 is not necessary

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy plan and a few questions

We will NOT get married in Thailand, we will only have a party with her family to celebrate our FUTURE wedding in the US.


Considering that is not what you said in your original post, you can see why we were confused

Be careful, if the Thai government 'thinks' you are married then they can deny your visa. I've seen couples denied a visa for referring to each other as 'husband' and 'wife' in communication although no ceremony took place. If it were me, I wouldn't do anything to hinder having my spouse in the US

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy plan and a few questions

How about get married in the US, apply for AOS, then with the AP in hand fly to Thailand and do the tranditional wedding?



Coming to the US with a tourist visa with the intentions of getting married and adjusting status is illegal and could result in a lifetime ban. Unless of course you mean that they adjust status AFTER she arrives on her K-1 and not her tourist visa.

I'm not going to lie, I didn't read your entire post. I stopped when I read this:

K-1 visas are for UNMARRIED PEOPLE. If you marry in Thailand, you are married in the US and her K-1 becomes void, you'll have to start ALL over again with a spousal visa.

Sorry, your plan needs reworking. If you MUST marry in Thailand, file for a Cr-1 visa

He doesn't need to sign his full name a certain, specific way. In fact, if this is his normal signature then that is exactly what he should do, especially if he signed it the same way on his passport...shouldn't that match too?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen Can I say im in the clear from any RFE's between NOA1 to NOA2

So we can expect a wait time of 2-3 months after the NOA2 for a interview date???


Generally, after the NOA2, the time between that and the interview depends on you and the consulate. It depends on how quickly NVC gets your documents and how busy the consulate is.

We were lucky, we spent 25 days in NVC then got an interview 2 months later. However, some people made it through NVC at the same pace but waited 6 months for their interview because Montreal got very very VERY backed up

Good luck
