K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 issue: Sponsor is in College/Uni

Hi Everyone,

My girlfriend and I are planning on apply for the K1 Visa in a few months time. At the moment we are doing research to find out just how the process works as well as what things/forms we will need to complete.

One problem we came across is in filing I-134 Affidavit of Support. My girlfriend is currently studying full-time in college, and hence has no form of income.

Is there any way to get around this? ... maybe a co-signer (eg: her mother/father). If a co-signer is possible, where exactly on the I-134 form would she put this information?


Thank in advance for any help,


- Shameel and Cassie

to my understanding if youre not above the 125% poverty line you can use a sponser , the sponser will have to complete as you do yours as well , her/his own I 134 and have to be 100% over poverty line dont forget to have it notorized and make 2 copies of everything you going to send , as they might ask for it at the interview

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresabout I-129F

Part B of I-129F

No.16

I am Japanese. So native alphabet means Japanese? so my american fiance have to write this by Japanese? or Can I write by myself?


No. 18
my american fiance have to write how we met ? We met in 2004. It is not within 2 years. Can I write?

If we can write inside of box on NO.18, we dont have to write on single typed page attachment that say in No.4 step-by-step guide on how to file for a K-1 visa for your foreign fiancee? so we dont have to prepare no.4 ? No. 4 is only for person who want to have more space to explain how we met?



if you met in real in 2004 , its 3 years now , just give an explanation how you met and where
and yes its your US fiance who is supose to fill it out since he is the petitioner
( in my case we did it together while I visited him in the states )

if you can squeez everything how you met in box 18 , no you dont need an extra sheet( I used an extra sheet there was not enough place for answering how we met how he met my kids,
and what fun we have as a since we met

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresnew fees in effect

yes AP & AOS are included in the I-485 new fees.

You will still see independent fees for those two forms because some people applied before the new fees and have to renew them, or people who come on a different visa and need to apply for EAD.

By the way, this should be in the AOS forum

ohhhhhh ok so cool no need for new glasses yet , sorry I posted it in k1 forum , am not even close to AOS yet just wanted to confirm and be prepared when times comes for AOS the new price includes the AP and EAD thank you for the replies Lona :yes:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe road ahead (K1)

quick work! :)

we found the sample forms invaluable when getting our I-129F package together, and my fiance wrote his statement of meeting loosely based on the one there... link at the top of the page, or click here



If you wouldnt mind - I've been thru the guides and examples. I cant find anything that resembles the supplement. I understand everyone's meetings are different, I do not want a template. I just do not know if they are more concerned with times and dates, or frequency, or writing it more like a story.

Is it bad to have too much information?

So far I have:
10 photos taken over the past year
Passport stamps scanned
7 flight itineraries for me
3 receipts from one trip
6 scan of boarding passes for Mary's flights

As far as the ongoing relationship:
a card / envelope Mary mailed to me
three recent emails
engagement ring receipt
last 3 months phone bills showing calls to my calling card and messages from mary's cell

(Mary's phone records should show the most calling since she has a unlimited north American calling plan.)

thats basicialy all you need in efidance for now , the rest like recives and stuff you can keep colecting for the interview , as for the letter how you guys met ( funny thing is , i kinda met my fiance the same way as you guys did ) we typed the letter exactly how you explained your relationship on your first post here , they accapted it no problem , one more thing if incase eather of you where married in the past , make sure you include a divorce certificate , ( we forgot to include it , cost us a almost 3 month delay with the RFE till we got aproved ) good luck Lona

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe road ahead (K1)

This Montreal thing is making me question my faith in my immigration attorney. :(

In fact if this process could take 9 months on average but could easily take more I really have to get rolling soon with this.

For example: Jaseball posted that it is good for 6 months and you have to get married with in 90 days. I've read in other places and been told by my attorney that it is 4 months (and possible to get another 4 month extension) and then we have to get married with in 30 days of her arriving.

My NOA 2 is good for 4 month ( will try to e mail montreal for an extension ) once she arrives in the states you guys got 90 days to get married from date of arrival

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresArrested for DUI

Well,
I don't think HIS DUIs matter much. He's a US citizen, they can't kick him out :lol:
I rather think you may have better luck with marrying NOW and submitting Adjustment of Status and Advance Parole ASAP. Then, you could go out of the US for up to 6 months worry free, right?
Otherwise, I am not sure if one can apply for K1 when his fiance in in the country. If one can, then there is no point to be waiting until you have 1 month on your visa. You might as well do it now, depending on where he lives, K1 will be sent to US embassy in your country in 2 - 4 months. But, if you get caught in security checks, it may be longer...
So bottom line - why complicate matters, just get married now!
Rika

sorry to say but Rika you doin the same mistake I did in the past but I did learn from my mistakes , giving some wrong info
yes your right about them not being able to kick him out since he is U.S citizen , but the AOS aplication while on a tourist visa ( hmmm very questionable ) ,
she should get more info on it cose to my understanding that could be visa fraud if you came to the states on a tourist visa in intentions of marriage
my advise is ask someone here with a lot of experience in that situation , ( like yu-dan . Dr-La , Pushbark if you read any posts when they replied you will see theyr advice is right on the dot , very good advice ,

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresArrested for DUI

Hi! Everyone I'm new for this website. I thought it should be useful for our
situation. I and my boyfriend decided to get married but i just found out that my boyfriend
had been arrested for DUI 3 times, but he was off probation about 3 months
ago. He is free now. But I'm worry about his record because he was planing
to file petition for my K1 Visa. And i'm really worry so if anyone has suggest
that can help us please don't hesitate. Becuase we were planing to submit
the petition in 2 months. we really appreciate your help!!!! :help:

you have no timeline so no one can tell where you or your boyfriend intend to file from .
I have no idea where your boyfriend resids , but for example here in canada being arrested for DUI is a very big thing , ( its just an example but if someone trys to immigrate to canada with a DUI record , first the have to apply for a pardone ( application for rehabilitation ) that can take month to a year before its completed , then since it has happend mulitiple times very big chance for denial , but like I said the law in the states might be differant for entry on DUI charges , if you would fill in your timeline I belive someone who knows the law in the states about entry with DUI charges will be able to help you more

I know am supose to copy the link to this , but half the time when i post a link it doesnt work , so sorry for pasting this but I belive it might help in this case , Lona



How Do I Replace My Certificate of Citizenship or Naturalization?

What is a Certificate of Citizenship?
It is a document issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) as proof of a person having obtained U.S. citizenship through derivation or acquisition at birth (when born outside of the United States). For example, your U.S. citizen parents were living in England when you were born. Or, your parent(s) became naturalized when you were under 18 years of age and met the special conditions of the law.

What is a Certificate of Naturalization?
It is a document issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) since October 1, 1991 and the Federal Courts or certain State Courts on or before September 30, 1991 as proof of a person obtaining U.S. citizenship through naturalization (a legal process to obtain a new nationality).

What Does the Law Say?
Section 341 of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that, "A person who claims to have derived United States citizenship through … [various provisions of the INA] may apply … for a certificate of citizenship."

Section 338 of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that, "A person admitted to citizenship in conformity with the provisions of this title [Title III] shall be entitled upon such admission to receive … a certificate of naturalization … ."

Section 343 of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that, "If any certificate of naturalization or citizenship issued to any citizen … is lost, mutilated, or destroyed, the citizen … may make application … for a new certificate … ."

Who Should Apply for a Replacement Certificate?
You should apply for a replacement certificate if your current certificate is lost, mutilated, or destroyed. You may also apply for a new certificate if subsequent to issuance of your current certificate, your name has been legally changed either through court order or marriage or divorce.

How Do I Apply to Replace My Certificate?
Form N-565 is used to apply for a replacement certificate of citizenship or naturalization. It is filed in person or by mail with the local USCIS office having jurisdiction over your place of residence (Except if you live in Maryland; file with the Vermont Service Center). It must be filed with appropriate identification to establish your identity and the filing fee. Current photographs meeting USCIS photo specifications must also be submitted. (See instructions on the form.)

What If I am Outside of the United States?
If you are outside the United States you must submit your application to a USCIS office in the United States and be willing to return to the U.S. to pick up the certificate.

How Can I Find Out the Status of My Application?
To check the status of your application, please contact the USCIS office that receipted your application. You should be prepared to provide USCIS staff with specific information about your application, such as your Alien Registration Number, name, and date of birth. Please see instructions on checking the status of your application. More information on USCIS offices is available on our Field Offices home page. It is not possible to check the status of an application filed at a local USCIS office on-line at this time. However, you can check the status of cases filed at Service Centers.

If My Application is Denied How Can I Appeal?
If your application is denied, you will receive a letter that will tell you why the application was denied and advising you of how to appeal under the rules in 8 CFR 103.

Can Anyone Help Me?
If advice is needed, you may contact the USCIS Office near you for a list of organizations who can assist with the preparation and filing of your application. Please see USCIS field offices; then, see the About Us section for a listing of assistance or "pro bono" organizations.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE Check

I have read the guides, looked at samples, read every RFE thread I could find. Spent a ton of time in research. Our problem is that Montreal is backed up :( so I dont want to chance having an RFE delay us further.

K1 Packet

  • Cover Letter
  • I-129F
  • Supplement / explanation of meeting
  • G-325A w / Photo (jon)
  • G-325A w / Photo (mary)
  • Birth Certificate Copy (jon)
  • Every Page of Passport Copy (jon)
  • Letter of intetnion to marry (jon)
  • Letter of intetnion to marry (mary)
Proof
  • 6 random photos (dated on back with names/location)
  • Flight Itineraries (jon)
  • 3 tickets for events during one meeting
  • hotel receipt for same meeting
  • copy of credit card statement showing the hotel and other foreign charges
  • Boarding Pass Copies (mary) one stamped/dated by customs
  • Copy of postmarked letter
  • Three recent emails
  • Engagement ring purchase receipt
  • 3 recent phone bills
........... I know the different between primary and secondary evidence. Looking thru all of this it is obvious that we have met. What I am unsure of is if it proves with out a doubt we have met in the last 2 years. I really really wish we had a datestamped photo! I could show the properties of some of the digital photos, I dont think you can change any of those settings (it says the details of the photo, the camera, date, etc). We started our blog site only a year ago and the domain names entries start the same time.

I just don't know what will make them not question that we have met in the last 2 years.

Thanks for all the help!

you got any old e mails , any old phone bills or resives ( when you used the credit card while visiting her , or maybe she kept old e mails ) but other then that the list looks ok

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresupdate on montreal

I just got off the phone with Montreal today, checking on my interview date. The woman was very nice and informed me that no interview date has been scheduled yet :crying: . She let me know that they are just starting to process May's, that I won't have a interview until the end of September or October. :crying: . I am wondering if it's possible to cross the border and go down to stay there and wait out my interview date with him. Someone told me I could go for 90 days to the States, without any hassle. Just concerned that immigration wouldn't like that and they nail me for it. Anyone know anything about this?? :unsure:

hey lee and kevin ,
first congrats , your one month ahead of me so if you get the interview by the end of sept or oct ,
that means i would probly have mine by end of nov or dec ,
( would be cool xmas present but am not holding my breath )
anyhow i belive your canadian citizen right ?
if so yes canadians can go to the states to visit up to 6 month in a calender year show strong ties to canada that you will return , 90 days is for canadian permanent residents ( like my self )
( but not to bring you down , just an advice I would be carefull and take a good look at MTL timeline forum , a lot of people had to waite 6 month some even longer for the interview )
am goin to call MTL tomorrow and see my status , hope they at least opend my package yet.
good to see you again Lona

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it possible to extend a K1 Visa?

people from Canada who has to go to MTL for interview , ( like liz and my self and so many others ) wish we would be with our fiances and have the oportunity to get married within 90 days as we talk ,
but we have to waite close to a year if not even longer from the time we send I 129f , so why not get married while you have a chance , unless you have cold feet and want to back out , but even then there is a reason why USCIS like to see couples file after they knowen eachother for 2 years ,
like the previouse posts said a civil marriage will do ,
( hell I would marry my baby at the Walmart if i ran into a priest tomorrow if the consulate would give me a visa tomorrow, but thats just me ) Lona


Where do USCIS say they want couples to have known each other for two years?

(They don't.)

They dont ? Oh well regardless i would still marry my babe tomorrow if I could


:no:

All they require is that you have met in person within the last 2 years.


I think the original poster of that statement MEANT "met within 2 years" but worded it wrong, therefore ppl need to make sure they word what they are saying carefully in order to stop misinformation on other members asking questions.

thats exactly what I ment , and yes I should have been more clear but when you speak multiple languages it can happen you make a mistake in wording on what you realy mean to say ,
I will watch my wording more in the future thanks for clearing that up :yes: , Lona


Thats why i brought it up, being speaking 2 languages it can get confusing when trying to express yourself fully. So i thought you meant "meeting within 2 years". Glad you were able to explain yourself. :D

Thanks for understanding , yes it can get quite confuessing with 2 languages , now think about 3 , LOL
I speak german , english and french , but as i said will be more carefull ( or maybe expess my self in german or french ?, lol just kidding :devil: ) Lona

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressame nationality

Do you think being of the same nationality speeds or helps the whole K-1 Fiance process? My fiance and I are the same nationality, there is a year age difference. We are the same nationality but from 2 different areas and me online in a chat room.


Also does having a good income help the process also? I do well over 60K plus bonus. Should I show savings to be safe or should I just use income.

I have not filed yet and am nervous about the timefram it will take.

THanks

your income will just prove that you can provide for your fiance and she will not need public assistance in the future , wont make a differance in speed to get the process done faster , neather will nationality make a diferance . if your U.S citizen but by birth another countries nationality and your fiance is your nationality but is not U.S citizen , sorry you have to go like everyone else here K1 , being wealthy and same blod nationality wont make a differance good luck Lona

We got a case number that starts with VSC200707***
I believe people in VJ how has a case number will be able to proof that the case numbers dont start with 200707...


that's exactly what a case number would look like.

I agrea with the dirty laundry , seemce to me they got somekind of communication problem ,
but got a question are you guys together right now ?, if not why wont you " ALLOW " her to go to korea while the K1 is in process , should it realy mather where she stays when at the end you will be together , another thing is she said shes never been to the states , my advice is bring her over show her what the states is all about ,so she can get a feeling on her future and know she can work in a kindergarten here too , and one more thing , Lola I understand the feeling of indepandance but you have to know he wont care less for the material stuff you want to buy him material stuff can break or go to waste , real love if you play your cards right will last a lifetime if you have doubts about the finances your love can break just like the material stuff you want to give , all he cares is to be with you and suport you , if you realy love someone trust , loyalty , communication is the key word to keep the love healthy not material stuff ,
( me for expl wouldnt care less if my babe gave me a coughcandy or a ferrary for xmas , the main thing in my eyes is we are together and will always be )
I wish you guys the best Lona

so nope i will not PM you for more information , you came for advice in open room so as I said before if you cant handle the advice you been given here , how will you be able to handle down right heartburning questions from an officer ?, ( but as you said you got it under controll , so good luck )
as to your statment "Then LonaD goes on to say, "they're just telling u the truth." Cmon now! I'm not an idiot, nor gullible, nor lonely or desperate. "

this is a great site to get advice , you ask for advice people here gave advice ,
it has nothing to do with bashing they told the trueth , and if you belive it was bashing and get upset over people you dont even know when they give advice ,
how will you react when the consulate ask more demanding questions , your question was will that be a problem for your case ,
you say she got divorced in the states , well i wont and cant compare my situation with yours ,
but plz listen to everyone get a laywer , I was married ( got married in germany ) after moved to canada , many years later got divorced in canada ,
then found out had to file trough the german consulate to get the divorce in germany legalized and registerd too , had I not filed for it I would have had trouble to even marry again since that would have been considert polygami ( or how ya call that thing )
to make a long story short , you should contact a layer I dont know the law but if the law is the same as it is in germany , and she got a marriage certificate from the phillies and divorce in the states , she might have to file for the divorce to be registerd in phillie as well , before you marry her , if she doesnt your marriage wont be acknowlaged since legaly she is still married in philli ( but how can she be legaly married if she was never legaly married to begin with , but maybe a laywer will be able to get better answers and as to the divorce registration laws in philly too , anyhow good luck

Yes sir that is correct. You would not have anything to worry about if she is already in the U.S, She could go ahead and file the I-485, after you marry her to adjust her status, along with your the I-130, petition for relative. Only thing they may give you problems with is if you already filed for the K-1, then they may think that you have committed Visa fraud. If She was on the B-1/B-2, when she married you if the I-129F is still pending.


Since the OP and his fiance have intent to marry and have her stay in the US, it is immigration fraud. they may get away with adjusting status, but then again they may not.

OP - you need to decide if its worth the risk. I, personally, do not condone what you are proposing to do.



12,000,000 illegals can't be wrong.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCancelling K-1 visa
QUOTE (de7wcc @ Sep 25 2007, 05:45 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
ok here is the fast version of the story just found out after my my fiance or so called fiance had sex with another man about one week before she came here now she is worried that she is pregnant imagine that how do i cancel her k-1 visa is it as simple as putting her ### back on a plane to the philippines or is their something else i need to do

First sorry to hear about your situation
if your not already married I heard its as simple as putting her back on the plane cose since your not married there wont be a AOS to file , AOS is to file after your married

I would call the center and tell them about your plans just incase you have to deal with them in the far future again they will have it on file reason of cancelling the case good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChange of address after K-1 filed
QUOTE (corvid @ Sep 30 2007, 01:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi, In June I filed a K-1 visa for my fiance. As it turns out, she needs to return home for personal reasons. Is it a problem to change her address and the embassy that the K-1 will go to?

I hope I'm not the first one to run into this situation, and any help would be appreciated.

is she moving to another location in her country ,
or are you trying to give your adress in the states as her residance while K1 is pending ?
if thats the case as far as I know she has to give the adress where she lives in her country since she wont be living with you until the K1 is aproved and shes able to move

Hi Guys,


Im filling out the G325a that I downloaded off VJ.I encountered a problem when I came to the box in which you type in your parents date of birth.
It wont let me put the last digit of the year in.If i put,say 05/19/1948, It wont let me enter 8.(?)

Maybe i should just use a pen and write it i the old fashioned way.


Anyone else come across this?..


Cheers..

when you click the date box you see a lil arrow click on the arrow it will show you a box with dates click on the date shows 2007 beside it you see a arrow when you click on that you can scroll to the year you need , hope that helps good luck Lona

Hi..we are going to apply for k1 visa but we got confused about filing the I-129F. Do we need to submit everything in this guide link http://www.visajourn...mp;page=k1guide. I just want to be sure of eveything...before we submit things...to avoid problems.Please help..

Thank you...
Tere


For the initial petition you are filing to USCIS you need all the stuff from this section:-
Assembling the I-129F Package: Checklist

You should also read this thread http://www.visajourn...?showtopic=4725 as it gives examples of the kind of things people have been asked to supply which may not have been mentioned in the guide such as the birth certificate of the beneficiary.

I agrea , and there is also the police certificate for your fiance ( police certificates from every country your fiance lived since the age of 16 ) ,and divorce certificate ( if you or your fiance where priviously married ) and remember all documents in foreign language has to be translated , good luck in your process

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 Question
QUOTE (K1_WAIT @ Dec 5 2007, 08:44 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
From Montreal Embassy, when packet 3 is sent, along with other forms, I-134 form is also sent. Am I correct?

Question:
-----------
Is the I-134 form filled and notarized and taken with my fiancee during the time of interview, along with its supporting documents, or does it have to be mailed to the Consulate when others forms are filled and returned?

Thanks
Peter.

Yes I had the I 134 in package 3 , but my fiance ( NOW HUSBAND YEAH ) did download the form on line before I got the package and had it notorized , we brought it with all suporting documents to the interview was no problem

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures2 questions reguarding k-1 forms
QUOTE (RYCK @ Jan 5 2008, 02:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
i have been reading these forums for quite some time and they have been very helpfull but i have 2 questions .... my fiance is in the USA and she will be filing the k-1 papers but she has been divorced and is still using her married name .. so on the forms where it asks her family name will we be putting in her maiden name or the name she is going gy now and add her maiden name where it asks other names used? silly thing to be confused about but i dont want a mistake thats for both the
I-129f and the g-325a forms

My second question is reguarding this question on the I-129f
Your fiancé(e) will apply for a visa abroad at the American embassy or consulate at:
I am not sure what to put there i know there is a US consulate in Toronto Canada which is close to me but after reading there are apparently only 2 in canada that deals with k-1 visas montreal and vancouver ... so do i put one of those 2 that are close to me .. any help would be very much appreciated

when we filed the I 129f , I used my previouse marriage name and put my maiden name as other name used , had no problem with that
as to your question about the abroad at the American embassy or consulate ,
yes there are only 2 consulates who deal with K1 one is vancouver the other in montreal to my understanding since your toronto area you would have to put montreal as the American embassy or consulate abord , anyone correct me if I m wrong , but thats what I did and everything went well
dont forget to include the divorce certifacte from eather of you if you where previously married , good luck for your process

From what I heard anyone ( other then family ) can translate a document
he/she will have to state at the bottom that its a true translation of the original document sign it and date it , ( maybe have it notorized )
