K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe meaning of NOA1

 

I've seen some folks here misunderstanding about being transferred. Your fiance sent the petition to Dallas Lockbox which is located in Texas but it is not a service center. That's the address of USCIS for K-1 petitions. USCIS then decided sent your I-129F to service center that will processing the case based where your fiance lives now. Answer to your question, you are not transferred (yet).

 

Usually you will get transferred when the service center that processing your I-129F has backlogging cases and will routed to the other service center. At this point, you'll get notify for that.

 

Last but not least, Happy New Year 2014 to you and to everyone on VJ.

Ah...i see.Thank you to let me know! :)

I will re update my timeline

Happy new year!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe meaning of NOA1

 

Hi Disya,

 

NOA-1 means that they already accepted the I-129F. The payment is cashed and all your papers are in reviewing now. You can also check your case by put your receipt number on USCIS website. At this stage, the adjudicator will do backgrounds check to the petitioner and sent an RFE when they found something mssing on your papers.

 

My question now, how did you know you've been transferred right after you got your NOA-1?

Hi again Girl from celebes,

 

Thank you to let me know whats going on with our process.So there's still a chance that we might get RFE. Regarding the transferred, he got an email that explain our case routed to the USCIS California Service Center for processing. If this mean that we are transferred or not?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe meaning of NOA1

Hello Everyone,

 

My fiance just got an email on December 30th 2013 that he will get hard copy of NOA1 in 7-10 days. Is it mean that we don't get any RFE and start to collect documment we need while we are waiting for NOA2? Any answers will appreciate. Thank you!

 

Oh, and by the way, happy new year everyone! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAlien Registration Changed in 12 days since the package sent. Is this normal?

All beneficiaries will be given an A#. The A# will be found near the beneficiary's name on the NOA2 I-129F approval. You will need the NOA2 and A# later when it comes time for AOS after you are married.

I see..thank you for your information. So in other words i need to keep the copy of NOA-2 as soon as he get it. We are waiting for NOA2 at the moment. Hopefully that would be approve on first week of Feb

You're welcome, Disya.

 

Yes, for  petition stage,  background check of petitioner by USCIS is main thing. Also, other thing makes faster that your I-129F package is completed and they don't need to send an RFE. Beside, CSC is being famous for fastest approvals on VJ so far compared to another service centers  even though they also well known for being slow sent the approval petition to NVC.

Thanks god that we double check the package before we sent it. VJ really help us for most of our case :). Anyway, thank you for additional information!we really appreciate it

Hi Disya,

 

It is normal. Some people got approved after their alien registration number was changed. But some others did not. I've got approved about 2 weeks after mine was changed. Hope your approval will be soon. Good luck!

Hi again Girl from Celebes,

 

Thank you so much for always answer my question :)

anyway, that's help. Hopefully we get approved soon!i am still curious, is that about the background checking on petitioner that make it fast to approved?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAlien Registration Changed in 12 days since the package sent. Is this normal?

Hi Everyone,

 

I just checked at USCIS website and my fiance alien registration number was changed on January,2nd 2013 (which he just send it on December 21st and delivered at Texas Lockbox on December 23rd). I was surprised and we are so happy that the process goes along quite fast. But just my curiosity, is this normal? or there might be something that we missed?

 

Any opinion will help! Thanks! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE not in the state of petitioner original address

 

The POE is as the name states--it is the place where you first enter the US.  As the poster below notes, they cannot enter at MSP as there are no flights from their country to MSP.  KLM does have flights from Amsterdam to MSP and then MSP would be the POE.  We are lucky that Lufthansa has a direct flight from Frankfurt to Denver, so Denver is our POE when traveling to visit the wife's family.  Accept for the last time we used KLM and we landed at MSP in Minneapolis before flying on to Denver, so MSP was our POE for that trip. 

 

The USCIS does not care what address is put on the forms--YOU DO.  They will not allow the USPS to forward any mailing from them, so your address needs to be correct during all phases of this journey.  There is also the requirement to inform them of a move by the foreign spouse by using the AR-11 form.  Once the USC has filed the I-864 form for your adjustment of status (AOS), the USC must inform the USCIS of address changes using the I-865 form.  If your fiancé has received the NOA2 and you are into the interview stage at the Embassy/Consulate then their is no need to update the petitioner's address.  If he moved before the petition is approved then he needs to inform the USCIS, plus I would have someone get the mail at the old address and send the NOA2 to him as it will have your A# on it.  All of the change of address requirements usually happen after the beneficiary arrives in the US.  All you need to do is put the most current address on the AOS form when you file it.

 

 

No entirely true as we entered the US at MSP so it was our POE.  MPS does not have a direct flight from your home country so it is not your POE, that is why ORD is. The POE is dictated mostly by the airlines and what routes are available.

Good luck,

Dave

 

His parents still live at the same address when he leave so it won't be a problem about sending mail to his new place. Thank you for the info :)


Thanks everyone! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE not in the state of petitioner original address

Hi everyone,

 

My fiance just got news that he probably move to the another state in next 3 months regarding his job. Anyway, do i have to come to the same state we addressed when we fill in the K1  visa for POE or that could be any states?

 

Thank you!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRegarding the Financial Sponsor

Hey everyone! I'm just starting to get everything together to file my initial I-129F. Quick background: I'm a student in Utah who's graduating with a degree in Geology in just a couple months, and I am engaged to the girl of my dreams who lives in Spain! We have visited each other very often over the last year and a half, and are excited to finally start our lives together once this process is over!

 

Onto my question...I have a comprehensive list of items to include in the initial filing packet, but I didn't see anything about the financial sponsorship. As a college student, I definitely do not make above the poverty level at this time. I am planning on a full time job sometime this year, but definitely not before we file this, and possibly not before she moves out here (depending on how long this process takes). However, my family makes well beyond the poverty level and is ready and waiting to sponsor us until I have a stable full time job. My question is...when do I file the form indicating their sponsorship? Do I need to send it with my initial packet or do I send it to her to take to the interview? 

 

Thank you in advance for your responses. This website has already been a great source of information, and I'm hoping it helps as much as it seems during the process!

 

Or..better if you have parents to write as co-sponsors that would be helpful as well :)

From what i read, you don't have to pay $85. There are only 3 things u need to pay:

1. k1 filing ($340)

2. Medical Exam (vary each country)

3. Beneficiary pay at embassy before interview (for Indonesia about $240)

 

So better you find out on your own fiance embassy review

Hi Disya,
 
Did you try to put your case number on immigrant visa instead of non-immigrant visa? Just out of my curiosity.
 
Edit:
 
Even though your case is not at NVC anymore but you can still check your visa status on CEAC.

Hi everyone,

 

My case already left NVC and we need to wait for our packet 3 by email to sent to my fiance's address. Just wondering...Could i pay my visa fee ($240) in advance (let say this week) through listed bank by embassy? I was thinking about this so i can estimate our cashflow since my fiance will be here on March to celebrate engagement party on my family side.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Fiance Visa / Green Card Questions and Help

 
 
Thanks. Yeah, I figured that. And as I said, we plan to have her visit me in around 3 months for preferably 3 months if possible. And if she can't stay 3 months (let's say she only stayed for 2 weeks), would that affect our chances of getting a K-1 approved in the future? Do you think she would have any problems with this, since she doesn't really have any attachment to England? Does she need some sort of attachment? What kind of attachments? A place to live? A job? I'm reading about the K-1 Visa process and such, it just feels a little overwhelming, but I'm doing my best.

First,it's important for you to have a job above poverty lane because u will bring someone to us and live with her.it doesnt matter how long you guys meet it still meeting.if she lives in england and has british nationality then you can apply k-1 for uk.dont forget to keep in track your messages,email,skype,ticket,photo together,etc in order to proof you guys meet.me and my fiance only meet for 10 days last december and we apply for fiance visa hanks god now we are in consulate stage.you also can join UK portal in this website to know whats going on with us embassy in uk.good luck!:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWrong last name on letter from NVC!

 
My name is correct on the NOA2. But doesnt it mean my name in the system is wrong at the embassy? It doesn't seem like having discrepancy in the names is a good thing. They can question that on interview and use that againts us.
i did call the embassy number as well and that was pointless
 


No it doesnt.i had emailed embassy and they said thats fine.just make sure on their electronic application,ds-160 when you fill in.but to make you relief,you can email your consulate and mention about your wrong name.it makes you have proof that you tried to contact them.

For my case i only have to wait about 2 weeks before NVC give case number. I emailed them first request case number. After that your way will just smooth :)

 

It's not that necessary since the embassy have the entire copy. It says just in case. So if you can bring along your interview that would be better

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRequest for Expidtition on getting K1 Visa approval

we said this to you to make sure you won't be like any other fellas here with unfortunate event. If it just in between 19th-25th March then it just about 4-5 weeks old. Little possibility to see an embrio with ultrasound. I know this because my sister is a midwife. It's up to you at the end how you want to continue your relationship. again, you are nice person (i had seen your fb by the way). May god bless you

 

And like other people said, there is no expedite on k1 visa with pregnancy result. But if you want to continue you better hurry. Don't worry about the time framing. I got my visa in 81 days-less than 3 months.

Just so sad to hear it might be another scam happened. I am under K1 visa and my fiance visit me on April. I am 2 weeks late from my period but that is still not indicate anything. You have to wait at least about 5 weeks late to see if she is pregnant. Well..maybe if she pregnant, she COULD be pregnant by anyone else. Maybe she just want to use you for green card :(

 

Just for your safety, DO NOT apply any visa before she can proof that the baby is yours. Period.

I was applied for working permit before my b'day in the year of my 18th. I think that should be fine. But i guess it is a lot better to wait until she turn into 18. You can genuine yourself (or even your fiance) about the visa process and begin collecting the requirement before her b'day.

I can suggest to you:

1. Married as soon as possible. Get the certified copy of your marriage certificate

2. Before he arrive, you already prepare for AOS, EAD and AP document (total payment $1070). Just left the blank document that your fiance need to fill in

3. Sent the package the day after you get your certified copy. Or if you can make the same day that would be better

 

The entire process will take about 1-2 months. hopefully this is help.

Hi, I have a question about this form also. When it ask you about :Applicant's last address outside the United States of more than 1 year. If she has no address cause she always live in the Philippines then do you leave it blank or put "none" where it says street name and address?

 

Thanks

 

It says outside the US. Philippines are outside the US. Put the last place she lived more than a year in.
