K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdditional info and interview question

Hello,

I have a couple questions. I sent all the required information (i129f and other forms) to the proper folks in October. Since that time I have visited my love in China two more times, December 2010 and February 2011. Where can I send my additional travel receipts and such? Can I email or fax somewhere?

Also, when Lili has the interview in Shanghai will the interview be in English or Chinese? My love doesn't speak English that well yet....

Thanks in advance,

Matthew



I would think that you could send copies to her to take to her interview otherwise you risk getting them lost if you try to "add" to something you already submitted

also I am sure she can use a translator.. i know in pakistan they also have those altho my husband speaks fluent english so he wont need a translator

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExpedite no response
If you requested an expedite you should have an email within a few days of their decision to approve expedite or deny. You can call USCIS and ask...if they tell you they dont see any info ask to speak withsomeone that can see more depth to your file (tier 2) that should at least get you more info. They can see a lot more....I have never been able to see my info on the USCIS online status but when I call the first tier cant either so they always direct me to 2nd tier with more info and TA DA...we are in the system and recognized there...

good luck...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresService Request Results :(
I have figured out that there is no rhyme or reason as to how they process visas....could it be that one person is looking for a case to expedite so they go thru the entire box figuring might as well get this done too? I mean we've been on here since Nov with no way to see anything going on...we didnt get our case updated on the uscis case status...at all!!! so ive called every two weeks and then finally on march 15th i called and talked to tier 2 (bcos tier 1 NEVER saw us in system) and told him just wondered where we were wanted something to give husband for bday gift...so he said well happyy bday and it says your case hs been pulled for review...and yesterday afternoon they finally put it in the online system!!!

You're right...as we also pull for everybody else we also want so desperately to be togehter...no couple is most important but we are most important to eachother...saying be patient gets old...waiting to see anything bcomes almost an addiction...it envelopes your life...its all you think about ...its like a drug.. :(

My husband and i have a wonderful relationship and can talk for hours about absolutely nothing...and continue the conversation until morning happily...but now this is all we talk about... ready to move forward and talk about how to get his drives license...how to get from our apartment to my work to pick me up or the school to get the girls when they are sick...lol OR How to get to the florist to pick up some flowers for me :P im ready for the living together converstations!!!!!

INSHALLAH we will all SEE or HEAR something about our cases soon!!! Good luck to you all!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfollow up query on expedite
We also did expedite at the beginning of march due to very serious issues around my husbands city and work area...and got an expedite approval email March 8th telling us they would send us a noa within 21 days (or other information depending) but so far nothing....its on system and touched march 16 but thats it...wonder how much longer it will take...im really concerned for him and his safety...will they really get down to the 21 days? or can i expect a surprise sooner? :S

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHard decision to make, As many opinions as possible would honestly be appreciated

Possibly do the IR1? Get married in England and immigrate to the US once the IR1 is done? Just another alternative. My wife wanted to be married with her family in attendance. Maybe a civil ceremony in England and a formal church wedding in the US? There's more than one way to skin a cat!!
Best of luck!
Bob



I agree with this as well...if you wait longer it becomes harder to be with your fiance...emotionaly that is...the wait becomes crazy...your dad would understand...you can always continue with the fiance visa and then go back to do something like a blessing of the marriage with your father in attendance as your vacation etc..

after all...how many of us even marrying overseas get our families altogether? My family was not there..it was just my husbands, so when he finally comes here we will do a blessing of our marriage so that my family can participate and be part of our future...

It is a hard decision...but the wait is even harder...good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExpidite Questions
I called and told them we were wanting to request expedite under humanitarian reasons and used the current travel warnings in pakistan as reference along with a couple of other very serious issues near where my husband lives and works that for his area were extremely out of the ordinary...

She gave me a reference number and said they will look into it... i requested on March 3rd and received email saying expedite approved on march 8th. Our case was complete and forwarded onto NVC on March 24th...got the news via email...and our hard copy a few days after that.

Good luck...we didnt have to send in documents showing anything but some ppl do so be prepared to pdf documents and email or fax them in.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy Employment History .... HELP

Oh ok.... So I should have my perm employer write in the letter of employment that i worked for a temp service and provide the dates????



Did you have two different employers? I guess im a little confused...did the temp employer pay your salary? that is who you worked for...whoever paid your salary....

I would say that if you are at SAME company SAME job but in MArch began being paid by temp agency then yeah get a letter from your employer stating they began working thru a temp agency to keep you on as an employee but you would still need a letter from who pays your salary..ie if it is the temp agency...and pay stubs to support that claim

Ok i've been at my Job from July 09, 2007 till now... BUT I started as a TEMP and hired on March 30th 2009.. So on my taxes as a temp says a different employer (temp service)..


WIll this be a problem? Should I write a letter explaining?

Also on my G325A Should I put:


Appleone (temp) July 09, 2007 to March 30th 2009

My job March 30th to Present??????????????????




I have the same thing but respectfully while you work at AA company you are hired and paid by TEMP company so technically you are employed by TEMP company...Same thing for me, I work for a credit union but hired by temp agency...I got a letter of employment from temp agency and it says it on my payroll paid by temp agency on assignment for credit union...

Does any of that help?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThanks Vermont. (sarcastic mode on)
My advice would be to send a written cancellation request to the service center. Include a copy of your first NOA. Its a long shot because it didn't help me at all. By the time my cancellation request was processed my petition was already approved. This forced me to file a waivier request for my new financee.

The hard truth of the matter is that if she is having doubts now, what is she going to do when the going gets tough after your married? It's a tough choice but I would move on with life. I've been in your shoes, and it SUCKS!!! sad.gif

ps. I have the most awesome financee in the world now!! smile.gif

EU citizens get NO break. at least not that I can see!

It seems that beneficiaries living abroad are facing longer wait times. I might look in to getting married in the UK and filing an I-130. Just a thought.

According to my experience, i'm from Bulgaria, 26 years old smile.gif applied for K1 visa in august, because i was told it would have been risk to apply for a tourist visa and still waiting for approval for 142 days, i can tell you everything is individual, it doesnt matter which country you're from, i also thought since Bulgaria is in EU things could be easier but no...you can see a difference later after the K1 visa is approved, cause in bulgarian people pass the interview at the us embassy easier than other countries, for example China or Philippines, probably because there are not so many bulgarians applying for K1 visas...

Tell Dani to be patient and you guys be ready for anything...this is simply unpredictable smile.gif

Good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould I K1 or DCF or can we do both?
QUOTE (Jesse&Iva @ Jan 13 2009, 06:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello everyone!

This is our first post and we want to say how much we love this site! It has been so helpful. I live in New York and Iva lives in Bulgaria and we are about to start the K1 process, but I am also planning on moving to Bulgaria so we can be together while we wait. If I stay there for 6 months and we get married then we can do the DCF, right? I think I should start the K1 before I head back to Sofia and just not use it if we can do the DCF after I have been a resident for 6 months. Does anyone see any problems with this?? I work from home anyways, so the only difference is that I would be working evenings while I am there. I think it is a good plan, and we would always have the K1 as backup in case I need to come back to NY before I can gain residency in Bulgaria. Does anyone have any words of warning or see any red flags? Also, after looking at all the K1 forms I don't think we need a lawyer but I am still kinda open to getting one, or maybe just a do it yourself kit, I would pay $50 to have a nice checklist at this point. Any recommendations?

Thank You!
Jesse and Iva


DFC all the way! I would just make sure you legally establish residency in BG. You can only stay there 90 days within a year period as a tourist. Also, what kind of work do you do? I would LOVE to work from BG while spending time with my financee smile.gif

I wouldn't worry about travelling to the the UK. I would suggest that you answer their questions at customs, but don't give them any additional information. I've been through their customs before and know how they can hassle you. Make sure you tell them you are enterning as a "tourist". Just a suggestion smile.gif

Will they deny the package? I wanted to file before alot of people started getting their tax refunds to pay the fees. Please help. I don't know how long it will take for those pictures to arrive!

nope, u should wait til u receive the photos from him.
if u just mailed it, USCIS will ask the photos n ur case will stay still.

CALL Ur fiance to take that passport to photos and mailed it to u by Express mail service.


Thanks. I found this on the USCIS website. Is it still valid? Can I print and include with my package?

http://www.uscis.gov...325A_110105.pdf
Wow, great research,I read the instructions for G325a and it says nothing of photos, but to be sure call them. that document is from 2005, and if they do require photos it will delay your approval. This was in the instructions:
If you have any questions on how to complete the form, call our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.


Good luck calling that number! I had a very simple question based on the I-129F instructions. They refused to answer (based on legal reasons), and the didn't even have a copy of the instructions to read along with me! Craziness! wacko.gif

I agree. Wait for the RFE! You will get one for sure. Also, you will need to send a copy of "All" pages of your passport, or an official copy of your birth certificate, as noted in the instructions. I'm sorry you're having such trouble, but don't worry, the RFE should only delay you by 1 or 2 weeks. I attempted to send a cancellation letter for my last K1 with a copy of my NOA1. Vermont never made the connection, so I had to file a waiver this time. Good luck! smile.gif

I called them yesterday to find out where the letter was, apparently they didnt received so she told me to send one again..
what else can I do???


There is nothing you can do at this point. I was in the same situation a few years ago. I sent the cancellation letter, but the petition was approved before they could match the letter with my case. This time I had to file a waiver letter with my petition. Not to worry! He can't receive a visa without further supporting documents. Sorry you had to go through this.

Well I would suggest you have someone petition you for the right reason. Your post alone states that you are just looking to get a visa to the states. This is for people in a real relationship that is looking for help reuniting with loved ones. If i am reading this wrong forgive me but I can't in good conscious give any help in a situation like this. And as far as i know you can not have 2 active k-1 petitions active at the same time.

OMG is this for real?



Bidding style?? Are you up for auction??!!??!? Blalalalalaal...do I hear 10 let me hear 10!....lol Are you fraudulent Phil girls going by the pound these days? You should stay in the Philippines, cause you might find a "nice" man to give you a green card, one that will sell you as a prostitue. All BS aside both petitions will be denied.

When you call "customer service" you are actually calling a call center that is located nowhere near the actual service center. The few times I have called they just read directly from the website, not even trying to hide the fact their reading from a script. So we still wait.

QUOTE (eagles24 @ Jul 17 2009, 08:15 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hey ladies and gentlemen.

My NOA2 recently has been approved. While I just called the US embassy in Macedonia, they said today they just mailed some info to my fiancee. While, we are engaged, we already planned a while back for a wedding in 2 weeks. It will be a traditional wedding back in Europe, with music, guests and so on, but we will get married in court or in papers when she comes to the states.

So, should my fiancee take the pictures of the wedding to her interview (in September) and tell the embassy that we had a wedding party (or should i say ceremony)?

Thanks to visajourney.com I got all the info needed.

I just collected from NOA1 to NOA2, the tickets (no stubs, but from emails from the travel agency, forgot to save the stub tickets), phone bills, picture, paycheck stubs, letter confirmation from my jobs, affidavit of support, and bank statement.

Since I will be traveling there in 2 weeks, do those paycheck stubs and bank statement as of in 2 weeks be enough for her interview in Septmebter, or should I still send more paycheck stubs while I am back in the States until a week before her interview?

Thanks for understanding and your time and help.


Don't Do That!!!! The K1 (fiancee) visa is for unmarried people ONLY! Tell her to leave the pictures at home. There is a very good chance she could be DENIED based on those pictures!! My fiancee wanted to do the same thing, have a ceremony in Bulgaria and a court wedding here. But the sad truth is that they can deny you just for having the ceremony. It's a risky situation. sad.gif
