US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDS160 and DS230 Forms HELP PLEASE!

Your fiancé only need DS 160, after submitting it, he must print the confirmation page to take with him to the interview, since his son is not going to accompany him he doesn't to complete one for him now, he must apply for him within a year though


Thanks for responding, what about the DS230? This phase of the petition is complicated

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionvaccinations???
My understanding from consulate is if you've been vaccinated and have records you can bring them to the Embassy physician ( One your Consulate requires) and if more is needed he/she will tell you.
Hope that helps good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsProof of Relationship questions??

Thanks all for the relpy's, i sent in my fight iteniary for the fights, passport stamps for me and my son pictures, although 16 prints i didnt think it should much, i am concerned about interview because we dont send each other e-mails or snail mail letters, mostly text messages and again most are recent not from the very begining, i would hate to start this process just to be denied, because of what others precieve to be legit.

I'm trying to be as proactive as possible!

 

anyother suggestions ?????

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsProof of Relationship questions??
I just filed yesterday the K1 application. I know I am ahead of myself with these questions bit I have a worry on my mind, hoping you all can help!

I met my fiancee early September 2012 on Facebook, every chat log is gone, I deleted them being upset, (long distance relationships are not easy) my cell phone was a prepaid so no record of calls during that period, also lots of phone cards used, found that to be cheaper, I have travel 4xs this year once with my 9 year old to see him, I don't have an engagement ring, but we got tattoos instead of our names over our hearts as a simble of our commitment and engagement. I haven't met his parents yet or siblings, they live in Zimbabwe and he's in South Africa,
With just airline tickets and recent outrageous phone bills how can I prove to officers that this is a true and committed relationship?
Please help guide me on what to do!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTo those who's been here, Question?
Hello all Vj's
So, I got first e-mail on Nov 27, with SRC #, and was sent to TSC,no hard copy yet! When I went to USCIS website to register my number it stated I'm in the initial review stage this morning I got another e-mail saying my A# was changed,
My question for those who have past this stage in filing, does this mean, TSC has our application, and someone is starting to review our petition?
And how long will this process last?
Thanks for any insight!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsfees
After your NOA-2 approval arrives I believe they send it to the National Visa Ceter/Agency, what happens there? I have read some post which stated Fee's
What are they? and is there a list of up coming fees I must pay before interview stage?
Want to be ready to get rabbit ear pockets, as if $340.00 wasn't enough.

Thanks VJ-ers
