K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI 134
am asking in reguards to a relative , he got his interview comming up ,
my question is about the I 134 ,
he got the last 3 years of tax returns , he got bank statements where he can prove 125 % over poverty limit ,
the thing is he just lost his job few month ago and has no letter from the employer or income comming in at this moment ,
what are his chances to get aproved for k1 without employer letter ,paystubs , or employment ?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice records?

Do you also need record of being single in Canada? I found that one to be a bit annoying.

no only divorcr certificates if you where previously married

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice records?

So for "Canada Wide" check how far ahead of schedule can one get this done? Oh and how long does it take to get the results...?

if you have no criminal record you can get it done when you get pakage 3
when I went for the police record I went to the local police office ,
the officer was realy nice he said he can do it right there but it would take about a week to get the resolts
( and it would be only in french and 60 $since I lived in Montreal)
he advised me to go to the RCMP where it would be bilangual , and I could have the resolts right there and only 25 $

I would go see a doc and get a note that you have to take the antibiotic if he prescribs any meds
( they told me when I calld for an apointment before I had my medical if I was taking any meds they would require a doctors note as to the purpose of the meds , wich I didnt need since I wasnt on any meds ) here is what I found

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports4 touches but no noa2...help!

we've been touch four times already, but still we haven't received an email from Chris of our noa2. and when we check online, it still says 'case received and pending'.

i wonder what's going on? is there anyone out there who has the same case with us?

what are the meaning of this 4 touches? could this be that they already approved us but failed to update our status online and failed to email us too? or do you think we will receive the scary word, RFE? :( shouldn't it be that if there's an RFE we will know it after the first or second touched?

i am getting crazy what is happening to our papers :crying: pls.. :help:

Have you tryed to call them and ask about the status ? , as you see from my timeline we filed a lil earlier then you , had RFE send and just got aproved ( via e mail , still waiting for the hardcover ) for NOA 2 , but calling them helps

good morning
my question is , does everyone have to complete the ds 230 form for K1 application or is that just for K3 , and where can I download this form if I need it ? thank you Lona


You can download it from the USCIS site - a link is provided here on VJ's Downloads Section DS-230

The DS-230 is part of Packet 3 that the foreign fiancé will have to complete - check your embassy section for further details.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDepressed..

Forget about the email notification. Obviously someone isn't interested in updating your file. Just watch your mail for the NOA2, then you can celebrate.

In the mean time, get the remaining things together like financial support documents, etc. Check the web site of the U.S. embassy for their requirements and download packet 3 (maybe 4 also) so you can assist your fiancee going through the forms. Have her prepare any documents that need translating now (I suggest school transcripts, medical records like shots, etc.) and get her to think about packing.

You need to think about getting your home in shape for her arrival. You don't want to spend time cleaning, painting, repairing, etc. when she is here. You have other happier things in mind then. If you do these things the time will fly by and before you know it, she will be preparing to fly here and you can start your life together.

very good advise I agrea

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTouches

I know it's on here some where but just can't find it, Anyway our NOA1 was June 7th but haven't had any touches or nothing, has anyone else on here get approved without touches? But man I wish they would touch us hate this not knowing! Trying to be patient but sure would be nice to see some movement! I know alot of others are saying the samething! You know the old saying misery loves company well VJ is a really good place to be LOL!!!
Please give me a little hope! Thanks ever so much!!! :clock:

patience you should get some sort of notice soon , and if you think waiting for NOA 2 for 3 month is long , be prepared to waite 5-7 month after you package 3 is send back to montreal .Montreal has a 5-7 month backlog from when they get the package 3 from benefitionary to interview date ,
thats when you will realy get tested on patience, hang in thats all we can do here good luck Lona

QUOTE (KarenCee @ Mar 23 2008, 06:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Might I also suggest that the OP read the Guides...it tells you step by step everything you do next. biggrin.gif

I agrea 100 %
also one more advice I would go to the local social security office about 2 weeks after your fiance has enterd the US and aply for a SSN with maiden name , I heard its easier to aply with maiden name and get the name changed once you have the GC , then going after your married and trying to aply with married name
( I aplied with married name and had a hell of a time getting aproved , since name on theyr system was my maiden name and didnt match the married name had to get a request of status aproved from DHS before getting the SSN aproved wich took almost 6 weeks , was lucky my I 94 was still valide , or I would have had to waite for the GC to arrive ) I know some was able to aply with married name without any problems , I guess it depands on the location your at ,
but from my experience I would aply for SSN with maiden name, then change name after you get the GC ( you can go 2 weeks after your fiance is with you , thats how long it usualy takes for them to recieve the information in theyr save system ) good luck smile.gif

from your timeline it shows you dont have your NOA 2 yet , so your still pretty much at the beginning
so like bobby said depands on why it failed ,
but if you dont have a complicated case
( no criminal convictions , your not an alcoholic or drug abuser , your not a sex offender or any kind of an abuser )
and you follow the guides here you should be fine

Middle East and North AfricaI just had an awful thought...
found this in the guide here hope the link works K1
if the link doesnt work its practicialy the same as sara said , look
A...You need everything from the checklist, of course, but you also need originals of everything that was originally submitted as a copy, even with the I-129F petition (except the US Citizens passport and the original I-797 approval notice). Original birth certificates, divorce or death decrees, and originals of any documents to support the I-134 fall into this category. The Consulate has the right to ask for the original of any document, so best be prepared.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI 864 tricky situation

Please help me with my situation:

I have been filing joint tax return with my ex-husband for the past years. I didn't work and don't have any W2. I'm going to apply spouse visa for my current husband. I know I have to be a main sponsor for him, how do I report my income on I 864 form? Can I get tax transcript from IRA under my name alone? Will that be sufficient enough? I am so confused and don't know where to ask. You guys please help me.

Thank you so much.

if you are the petitioner ( wich i cant tell no timeline ) I doubt you would be able to get a taxscript with your name alone one it , since you had no income and your ex was the soul incomeholder when you filed joint tax returns , my guess is if you have no income now or fall below the povertyline you will need a co sponser who is above the poverty line and will sign the I 184 for you guys ,
but someone with more experience in that field might be able to help you more incase am wrong , good luck Lona


Yes, you are incorrect. If her name and signature is on the tax return, she can obtain a transcript.

I know she is able to get a taxscript if her signature is on the tax return , but her question was if she can get a taxscript with her name alone on it while she filled joint tax return with her ex ,
thats why I said I doubt she can get one with her name alone since she had no income at that time ,but wow I didnt know she can get a taxscript with her name alone even while she filled joint , but ty for the reply Lona
