K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo you suggest getting an attorney or use an agency?
not all lawyers are good at what they do,if you are as big of a hands on person as you say you are,a lawyer is a waste of money,you can either fill the paperwork with example forums you find online OR you can fill your paperwork and take em to a lawyer to just confirm,worst case scenario youll pay for one meeting about 500 bucks ,not 2500+

you sure they didnt send your case back to USCIS after it past the expiration date?
cause as far as i know,embassies dont extend validity date for cases that are lacking costumer action.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAppreciate any insights and help!
you have to see how many people he is supporting,in other words,how large is his household,because your fiance will be added to his household,meaning if he is supporting a household of two at the moment,he will have to have enough income to support a household of 3 after sponsoring your fiance

thank you guys,and good luck OP

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWas Our Petition Revoked, Denied, or Expired?

NOA2 is valid for 4 months. NOA1 has no validity issue. The attorney filed the petition a few days past the two-year mark since the couple was last together in person. This results in a denial because the couple wasn't together in person any time in the two years prior to the petition filing date.


sorry to highjack your thread OP.
so IF the notice of action two expires while waiting on the interview appointment will the consulate be able to extend the NOA 2 validity?
the reason i ask is the consulate i applied for has a 12 week average wait time frame,and between NVC and sending in the packette 3 it could go over 4 months,i just wanted to make sure there wont be a problem

thelastpetitionerFemaleIran2010-10-31 11:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChange of Address
we did it,it took about a day or two.
we didnt get informed but we got a touch,and since CSC is not processing our month,we kinda knew it was because of address change.
but you can try calling them and asking them if it has been received a couple of days after you send the forum

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresstart a K1 visa abroad
back when we filed,you had to file directly either to CSC or VSC,it was based on the last state the petitioner lived in for longer than two years.now you just send it to texas lockbox so if anything,its just like it would be if your fiance filed in states.more fair shall we say.
it doesnt make a difference,but keep in mind you will need a police certificate from Ireland,AND things dont usually go as fast we would like them to,so,k-1 could most likely take 6+,like LB and PC said,be careful with finances

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPLEASE HELP!!!

Federal law forbids the issuance of a US Passport (and allows for it's being held) when the citizen has an arrears of $2,500 or more in child support. Some States ask that they be held for even lower amounts of arrears.

You get a passport by paying your child support down below the threshold. You can use the money you would otherwise use to make the international trip, to pay it down faster and delay meeting your fiancee. Unless she's rich, the chances of her obtaining a visitor visa are slim and none. Consular officers don't make exceptions to accommodate this kind of "inconvenience". They'll tell you the same thing. Delay meeting until you pay your child support arrears as you are under court order to do.

oooo i see,thank you
and +1 to the rest of the advice

you can choose between a congressman and senator,and while the office does their job ( contacting CSC ) that doesnt mean CSC will actually care.
you have to wait till your five months is up,which is like what,21 days away?then try contacting them.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConfused about where to send I-129F package
the only accurate instruction is the one on USCIS website.

Form I-129F Filing Locations for K-1 Fiancé(e) or for K-3 Spouse:
If you live in the United States or if you are living abroad:
File Form I-129F at the USCIS Dallas Lockbox facility.
For U.S. Postal Service:
USCIS P.O. Box 660151 Dallas, TX 75266
For Express mail and courier deliveries:
USCIS Attn: I-129F 2501 South State Highway 121 Business Suite 400 Lewisville, TX 75067
so there you go,i was right.The latest and official I-129F instruction,the address is mentioned in the fifth page

also TboneTX,members are allowed to express their opinion,the final decision making however is up to OP.
thelastpetitionerFemaleIran2010-11-02 02:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConfused about where to send I-129F package
yes,logically,since you dont know which service center will get it.still double check,i could be wrong ( even tho im 90% sure im not ) and i would hate to screw up your petition.
good luck
thelastpetitionerFemaleIran2010-11-01 23:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConfused about where to send I-129F package
well as far as the lockbox goes,they started it recently,you send your petition to dallas,and they send it to CSC or VSC depending the amount of work they have.
and yes i THINK you got the payment part down correctly.

if your fiance did not get the stamp in US airport,then i assume it would be alright.if i remember correctly airports are considered neutral soils or something of that sort,meaning if you havent gotten the entering stamp,youre technically not in the country.but i could be wrong

HE got a 221g,for being a male from middle east.all middle easterns regardless of their sexually are put through AP,it usually takes less time for women tho

so?the statement mentions that they will try to give you your visa within five to fourteen days,but i suggest you go through middle east/north africa forum to see how sometimes the beneficiary falls into deeper APs,hopefully wont happen to you tho
thelastpetitionerFemaleIran2010-11-01 14:41:00

it depends,usually,yes,it means youre through with your AP,however there have been cases where they needed the beneficiary's passport to do further AP.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTiming for seperate travel of K-1 fiancee...
you can file with k-1,OR file up to a year after your k-1 has been approved.she doesnt have to wait till her AOS is approved to be able to apply for a k-2,cause again you will be the petitioner,the son will be the beneficiary.
you can apply for a k-1 and k-2 all together,and it will go through together so,your k-2 will take as long as you k-1,OR file whenever you want within a year time frame and it will take as long as a k-1 at that point would take ( keep in mind service have their cycles,where one goes through petitions like the speed of light the other goes months without a movement ,so its hard to say it will take exactly 6 or exactly 8 months )
thelastpetitionerFemaleIran2010-11-03 04:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTiming for seperate travel of K-1 fiancee...
as im sure many VJ veterans will mention,k-1 visa is not a lets get you here and see if you can adjust type of visa.it usually gets nasty when that happens.
your fiance wont be able to leave until her AP ( advance parole ) is approved,correct.
he ( fiance's son ) needs his own visa,a k-2.
k-1 and k-2 are single entry visas,meaning ( as im sure you know ) they wont be able to leave the country until he has his AOS down.
k-3 is not a visa that you can request for a minor child of the beneficiary,its a marriage based visa.you can file up to one year after receiving your k-1 for your fiance's step son.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes the country you come from matter when you're waiting for approval?
to answer your question,i dont think the beneficiary's country makes a difference,as its not really CSC or VSC's to judge a relationship and how fraudulent it possibly could be,its their job to make sure you have filed i-129f correctly in the first step,go through the evidence that you have met in the past two years ( thats what makes you eligible for k-1 ) and etc.im not by any means a USCIS fan,but i honestly dont believe the country of beneficiary comes in picture in the first step.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow high in the chain of command?

If i was still in the military i would just have my sgt right me one, or sit down with my first sgt and he would have him write one and he would sign it.

if you arent sure ask him to go talk to a military lawyer. only takes half a day and he gets to get outa some boring work to sit in a boring office.

but honestly his first sgt should do it that and copies of his w2s and recent pay pretty much prove that he is in military.

thank you max :thumbs: we agreed its better for him to ask his sergeant and if its needed from someone higher in the chain of command HE should handle it.

thelastpetitionerFemaleIran2010-11-04 22:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescould someone read these two parts and see if they understand what i did?
STEP 2 For Petitioner: Complete the original Form I-134, Affidavit of Support and its supplemental documents: W-2 and 1040 tax forms (for the last taxable year), bank and other financial statements and forward it to your relative. (If you are not qualified to sponsor your relative financially, you must find a co-sponsor who can present a Notarized Form I-134 and supplemental documents in addition to your Affidavit of Support. Also you must prepare a statement explaining why you did not pay any taxes to the U.S. Government during the last taxable year).

does this mean i have to send tax forms and w-2 and bank statement and I-134 all in before the interview?( this was taken from packet 3 on the consulate website. ) do i have to send in the originals of everything since its the consulate we are talking about?



You must send all documents and correspondence via UPS from Turkey or U.S. As UPS services are not available in Iran, applicants in Iran may send their documents to our office by any reliable courier service. Your appointment letter or documentation (if it is incomplete) will be returned to you by UPS in 20 working days if your documents are sent from Turkey. You will be responsible for the cost of the return correspondence sent within Turkey by UPS. If you send items from United States or Iran, we will send your documents back via regular mail, which takes several weeks.

does this mean i can actually send in my packet three with say DHL or fedex? and it will be fine,no problem?
