K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTracking the status of I129F?
So, great news, just received my NOA1!! Now I'm looking at other peoples timelines and see they know what their petition has been "touched"... How do I track this??

I've gone to the USCIS website and entered my reciept number, but it's saying my "case cannot be found at this time." Does it take a certain length of time before they put it in the computer?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview scheduled by consulate via E-MAIL
Hey folks, I've tried to find my answer on older posts, but I didnt ... so I decided to post a new topic.

My fiance and I got our NOA2 by may 2. On the next week he got another letter from NVC sayin they got our petition and it would be sent to the consulate in my country (Brazil)within a week.
So by may 25 i sent the immigration department an e-mail asking if they have received our petition, since i couldnt get my answer when i called (waited over 40 min on hold).
On the very next day they answered me saying i already have an interview date scheduled by them, which is July 19 and i should not wait for the instruction package to start gathering what i need to bring upon interview.

Have this ever happened to any of u? If so, will I ever receive the instruction package by mail or not?
I'm so anxious here, hope everything goes alright.

Best wishes to everybody.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen should i fill up my DS156 Form?
I've heard that I can only fill up the DS 156 Form (eletronic version) 2 days before my visit on the consulate.
Is that true?

My interview is scheduled to July 19 and I'm trying to get everything ready already, but I'm not sure I can fill up this form yet. Please help.


Thanks in advance.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProof of ongoing relationship due to interview
I'd like to know what you guys gathered as proof of ongoing relationship due to interview. Any ideas are accepted, i wanna bring anything i can think of!

How many itens from each type of proof did u collect?

I have approximately 5 of each (photos, e-mails), but I wonder If that will be enough.
I also intend to print out the FB page that shows our relationship and stuff. Did somebody do the same thing?

What else did u bring?


Thanks for all

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview Packet (Nigeria) [edited title]
It depends on the country. In Brazil for example, we never get the packet 3.
I found out my interview date when I decided to email my local consulate to see if they had received our petition. They answered me on the very next day saying they got it and gave me the interview date. They sent me a 'link' to check everything I need to gather due to interview.
1 week after, i got the packet 4 ... but the packet 3 never came.

Hope I could help somehow!

Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresJ-1 visa (Au Pair), 2 year residence requirment after extented J-1
OMG now I got worried too.

I was also an au pair and i extended my program for 6 months. My Visa says the same thing "NOT subject to the two year residence requirement".
I got a little confused about the other place I should check this information though.

However, I also think they wouldnt approve the first part of the process If they knew of this 'episode'.

I just hope none of us get in trouble with that on the interview. If we already reached this step of the process, nothing should be a big issue anymore to be denied.

God bless us all. Good luck to everybody.

Thank God, i was afraid of getting in trouble.


Now, I have another question:

DS156 - Question # 20
'Name and Address of present employer or school'


If by the time of interview Im not working anymore, and I also dont study in the moment ... can I just answer 'Not Applicable'?


What should I answer here?


Thanks so much again

Did you do the same? I just want to find somebody who actually bought the round trip tickets and entered US with no problem at all.

Hopefully I'll be fine, God help us!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlane tickets to US
Hello folks,

I decided to buy my plane tickets to US already, even b4 my interview. The prices are WAAAAY too much and I wont be able to afford it If I wait until the interview date or so.

The round trip tickets were cheaper than one way tickets, so I bought the round trip tickets and then I'll cancel my return ticket once Im there (i read this somewhere b4 and loved the idea).

Did any of u do the same? Will this give me a hard time when I pass through immigration?

My only reason for buying a round trip ticket is because of the price, which was cheaper than the one way tickets.
Please help.

Thanks very much.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about Form DS-156
Im almost sure in Brazil we need to attach a photo electronically along with the form, and then print it out.

But I'll e-mail the embassy a few days b4 the interview to confirm.


If I were you I would also e-mail them to check, or maybe u can do both? Print 2 forms ... one with the photo attached electronically and another one with the photo stapled or 'glued' (dunno if this word exists lol). So when u get there, they will tell you what they need indeed! :)


Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFilling DS 156 Form - please help
Hello folks,

I was filling up my DS 156 Form now and got confused about a question here, please tell me what u answered, and If possible, what u think I should answer.

Question # 14 - National Identification Number



I´ve checked a possible answer on the website (website removed by request) which says 'Write none for indian citizens. If you are a citizen of some other country and that country has any such number, write it here.'


Where can I find If Brazil has this number?

Please help.



Thanks in advance.
