K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	DATES FOR 129F AND G-325B A	You were only married once.  If that 1st marriage took place in the US then list that as the US recognizes all marriages (that is to say if we were married in Canada, we are married in the US, no need to get remarried once down here)   If you are not sure (and are you sure your ex doesn't know your marriage date?) then list it as "July 1999"   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-06-19 18:29:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Question regarding RFE, possibly more primary evidence needed	Since Germany is a low fraud county, I'm going to assume it is the criminal background info.   good luck - sorry about the RFE, we got one too and we replied quickly, it only cost us about 2 weeks in total	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-13 05:31:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Where to find listed Consulate on NOA2?	There are only 2 choices, Vancouver or Montreal.  Manitoba East is Montreal   Rest is Vancouver   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-21 18:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can I pre schedule a interview for the k1 visa?	Um....I'm going to say no you cannot.   Why would a consulate schedule your interview if USCIS and NVC haven't finished with it yet?   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-22 10:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance and petitioner have a child together	They need to provide they have an ongoing relationship   does she child qualify for a US passport?  That needs to be done also   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-21 10:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	We want to marry in the US but no green card - yet!	Lost at seas's answers are great for someone who plans on adjusting status right after marriage in the US.   Clearly you do not, I suggest you go over on the VWP and adjust your expectations.  Marry on the VWP, make sure not to overstay and then file for an immigrant visa when you are ready to move to the US.   But no, you cannot adjust status from Germany 1-2 years after your K-1   Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-26 05:58:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous refusal of entry, current K1 app	Was a simple denial of entry?  They didn't accuse you of misrepresentation or anything correct?   I was denied entry twice before we filed for the spousal visa, the IO joked about it during our interview and that was it.    As long as you are honest about, about your denial and your previous marriage, then it shouldn't be a problem.   If you are denied, your options will be based on WHY you were denied.    good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-29 14:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Travelling to US on B1/B2 visa while I-129F application is pending	Nope, don't volunteer but don't lie.  If they ask for 'family' in the US, they generally mean fiancés as well, and in that case simply state that you are going through the K-1 process and need to return to PI for the medical and interview.   Don't offer any more info than they ask but use it to your advantage by stating why you MUST return to PI   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-30 08:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Travelling to US on B1/B2 visa while I-129F application is pending	a. The best plan   b. Your B visa may be cancelled if your K-1 is denied because of clear immigrant intent   c. visa fraud.  You cannot use a clear non-immigrant visa to enter the US to adjust status.  This can lead to a lifetime ban.   d. if you go to the US, why not go with your company?   Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-30 05:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	help with RFE	A notary can only verify the signatures are valid, they cannot assure the accuracy of the content.  I am not sure if you need them notarized as what value does that place on the letters?   I think you should send in what you have, a joint bank account does show primary evidence, if they ask for primary evidence, show that.  Did you have to go to the bank to open the account? If yes, then get a letter from the bank stating you were there to open the account.    good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-31 04:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	help with RFE	What about credit cards showing transactions in his state?  Where do you stay when you go visit him?  Affidavits stating you've met from family?    Did you stay in hotels?  Buy gas?  Eat out?    good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-29 15:58:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Co-sponsor just backed out for my partners k-1 visa	The I-134 is not even a legal document.  It is replaced by the I-864 after marriage and when adjusting status. the risk to co-sponsor on an I-134 is virtually none       Yes, I know it isn't a legal document, which is why I didn't say it was   but thanks for correcting me	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-08-17 11:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Co-sponsor just backed out for my partners k-1 visa	It is not 'just' a piece of paper, it is a major responsibility, especially for someone they may not know very well   Either convince your cousin's husband or find a new cosponsor.   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-08-17 07:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Waiver for not meeting. What is required?	NO, you probably wouldn't be able to spend time alone, but why can't you travel and see your fiancé with a chaperone?  I believe that is OK under Muslim traditional marriage rules correct?   It is VERY difficult to get a waiver for not meeting.   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-07-09 20:47:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Wasn't honest about how we met :(	I think you'll be Ok. I NEVER condone lying in any format but what is done is done. You should be totally and fully truthful when crossing in the future. He isn't your friend, you aren't visiting 'friends', you are visiting your boyfriend/fiance. What happens after that, well you'll have to suck it up and deal with any consequences but I honestly think you'll be fine. They aren't so much concerned with how you met, but they are concerned with when you'll go back to Canada Good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2012-07-24 20:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Tourist/visitors Visa while waiting?	No, an approval or denial of a tourist visa will not affect the K-1 petition.   He should bring strong ties to Jamaica to the interview   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-09-20 04:01:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Divorce before applying for K1 visa	Pictures are considered secondary evidence. Meaning they are good, but they are not as good as evidence of spending long periods of time together.  Pictures can be faked or misleading.  Focus on passport stamps, hotel receipts, boarding passes, anything that shows the duration of your visit   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-10-07 04:06:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 after denied entry	I was denied entry, had no bearing on our immigrant visa however, if he signed something that said he lied, you need to know what that was. You also need to know what numbers or codes were written into his passport Further, even with a B-2 visa, it will be exceptionally more difficult to have him visit the US good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2010-11-10 05:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Enter on B1/B2 while holding K1	This has been successfully done by Canadians, however I have not heard of a Mexican national having success.  Canadians do not travel on a visa so I assume the above poster is correct, the B visa will become void when the K visa Is issued   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-12-14 14:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	is CRBA same as certificate of citizenship?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Nervous! Starting This Process + Questions	the above poster was correct.   Have you met in person yet?  You skipped this in your introduction but it is a requirement that you have met face to face (sorry, Skype doesn't count) within the last two years.   it sounds like you'll need a cosponsor, have you broached this with your parents yet?  It is a bit of a responsibility so make sure you give them lots of time to research and make a decision.  You don't need any more curve balls.   Lastly, Australia is a low fraud country so don't worry about the visa issuance if you have the money and meet the requirements.   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-12-31 08:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I 129f problem	Don't leave anything blank, it can lead to an RFE place "NONE" or "N/A" where applicable   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-12-30 10:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Buy air ticket before the interview?	I strongly suggest you DO NOT make any plans until the visa is in hands.  That means even if there is a approval (which we all hope) on the day of the interview, still do not make plans until she has the visa   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2013-12-16 18:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Denied entry on B1/B2 visa, will it affect K1 visa application?	You should've applied for K1 in the first place instead or you should've mentioned that he is your boyfriend. A "Friend" is way different that a "Boyfriend" who is your "Fiancee" now. Just hang in there hopefully it will be ok!    What you say is irrelevant.  "Friend" is not actually accurate is it?  And thus can cause problems down the line.  I mention what you say is irrelevant because many people have traveled to visit boyfriends, fiancé's, spouses,  successfully without having to call them 'friend'.  What really matters is showing why one must return to his/her home country.  That carries more weight than what one says.   OP - I was denied TWICE!  As long as it was a simple denial you are ok, was anything written in your passport?   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2014-02-12 10:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can I live abroad until the visa is granted?	If you move overseas, how will you meet the financial requirements?   good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2014-02-12 19:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Conflicting info K-1 fiance application	It is a common misconception that if one sends all the required documents to USCIS with the initial petition (including those required at later stages) this will quicken the process.  If you send the required documents for packet 3 and 4, they will be ignored by USCIS and you will end up sending them all again because they will need to be updated.  This can often cause delays.    Read the I129F instructions and send what is required.    good luck	canadian_wife	Female	Canada	2014-02-12 10:04:00
