K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	After K-1 Visa approved and marriage in the US, is it okay to acquire VISA through marriage to move to Europe a couple years?	If you really want to be safe you would wait until your fiance has their citizenship which is they are eligible for 3 years following becoming a permanent resident through marriage to you. Then they would be able to travel as they please and stay away as long as they wanted without the possibility of losing their residency rights.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-03 22:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Why the increased processing times?	100's of people wasting their time with pointless and superfluous expedite requests......	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-06 18:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Parental Sabotage	Two choices. 1. Tell them to butt out and mind their own business. 2. Say that you understand their concern but you are going to do what you feel is best for your for your life.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-01 00:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Are visits to the US during the process allowed?	Whoever wrote that letter should have worded it in a different way. As a K-1 applicant you might be under more scrutiny under the VWP because you obviously at some point do want to immigrate. If the officer decides this is your intention you will not be allowed in and therefore no longer able to use the VWP again (you would have to get a tourist visa to visit again). That is the only lasting effect a denial would have. I have been through this process and I have seen people ask this same question on this board a hundred times. It has no ill effects on your K-1 application. Edited by amykathleen2005, 09 January 2011 - 12:51 AM.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-09 00:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Are visits to the US during the process allowed?	A denied Visa Waiver has absolutely no bearing on your K-1 application.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-09 00:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Are visits to the US during the process allowed?	If you are nervous about not being able to get in why not fly through Dublin to the US. They have US customs at the Dublin airport itself so if you are denied then you won't be out of a very expensive plane ticket to get yourself back to England.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-09 00:12:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	If K-1 Visa Fiance does not marry within 90 days can she stay?	The fact that she wants to stay without getting married seems to point that marriage might not have been the main factor in her immigrating anyways, at least that is my impression from the way the situation was worded.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-10 00:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	guess what,another flop by USCIS	For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations. I think the above highlighted section is for you, OP. They already know they have been approved, that is the whole point, that this is the second one.....	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-10 21:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NOA2 VSC - Does it really helps to call or email them?	Contact your Congressperson, they can make a difference when your case is over the processing time. I would also not plan for any wedding until you have the visa in your hand. You have no real idea how long the process will take or what kind of hangups you might encounter.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-10 23:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	RFE after LONG WAIT!!	A bit TMI, but anyways...... Why are you so mad at USCIS, the RFE was most likely an oversight on both your and your lawyer's part (because even having a lawyer, it is YOUR case not their's). USCIS get the information, they process the information and they approve the petition, that's it. If what they need is not there then they can't do their job and waste both your time, and their time requesting more info.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-12 20:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Proof of Ongoing Relationship	Yes you're definitely going to need pictures. Especially for the interview stage. I do not necessarily agree. Pictures are great, but the UK rarely asks to see any relationship evidence at the interview and even then emails or boarding passes or phone bills could suffice.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-08-21 18:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Proof of Ongoing Relationship	I don't know how good bus/train/museum tickets will be to prove anything unless your name is on them. They could be anybody's (not saying they are but they are not solid proof). Do you have boarding passes with your names on them? Passport stamps? Hotel receipts? Also I had actual photos printed then printed a word document with all the captions of the names of people in the pic, date and location. Then I cut out the captions and taped them on the backs. Simple and easy to read. Then I put all the pics in a plastic baggie.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-08-21 10:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visiting the US whilst our Visa application is being processed?	3 months is almost impossible, probably closer to 8-12 months. Just so you know that straight off the bat. You can visit the US as long as you bring evidence that you will be returning home at the end of your stay. It depends on what happens at the border if you is allowed in or not. With sufficient ties to home you should be. Visiting will not have any impact on your visa application so you might as well send that ASAP. There is no problem whatsoever for your fiance visiting the UK during that time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Serious question relating to moving to U.S	Well you won't be able to move to Denver until you are approved in the first place. Then for Adjustment of Status it is possible although highly unlikely that you will be denied, but then there is a huge appeals process, etc. which will unless they determine fraud allow you to stay. I would not worry about it. Once you are approved for the K-1 you know what they are looking for in terms of relationship evidence and financials.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-18 23:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How long does it take to get NOA2 in the mail?	It has only been 5 business days with the MLK Day holiday. I think if it has passed 30 days you can contact USCIS to track it down.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-21 23:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	G-325A	Write NONE. Although if you are not the US citizen it is possible you have an A# on a previous visa etc.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-22 12:48:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Tracking the status of I129F?	Not much movement will happen for the next 5 months I'm afraid. Most likely your case will appear online in the next few days, although some never appear. It isn't all that reliable anyways. Our K-1 visa was approved in April 2010 and it still says Initial Review.....	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-24 19:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	We filed for K1. Can I visit him AGAIN using my VWP?	Everyone has a valid point regarding the "risk factor" it all just depends who you see on the day. I also hired a lawyer to deal with our K-1 visa application, not because we were incapable, just because we didn't want to leave any stone unturned and were prepared to pay someone to get it right first time. One thing i will point out is that my lawyer did ADVISE me that if i were to visit the US then not to say i was visiting my fiancee for the reasons which everyone else has stated. That's not to say that's what you should do were you to visit, i just thought id share that little piece of info Good luck with whatever you decide If you have a simply case and you can read I would consider yourself more capable then a lawyer. It is certainly your personal choice though. Also I don't know how your lawyer phrased it but you cannot lie to immigration. So if you are asked point blank, are you visiting a significant other you have to answer yes. If not it is your choice to tell more specifics about your trip.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-24 21:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Police Clearance From USA	You do not need a police certificate from any time spent in America as that will obviously come up when they do background checks.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-24 00:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	go to the interview with my fiance	Where are they interviewing at?	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-22 23:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	My fiances K-1	You should have come here first. You forgot the most important part, evidence that you have met in the last 2 years. You will probably receive a request for more evidence which will put you behind a week or two depending on how fast you respond. You will probably here from them in a few days to weeks regarding them receiving your paperwork. Being in the military means nothing unless you are going to be deployed soon.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-24 21:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	just got my NOA2 email. Just want to check i have the next step right	I think you can schedule the medical as soon as your stuff from NVC is on its way to the London Embassy.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-20 21:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	just got my NOA2 email. Just want to check i have the next step right	Is the I-864 and the I-134 the exact same form? what should i do with it once iv filled it in, send it with the others, or take it to the interview? will it slow the process when it isnt asked for in packet 3? You bring the I-134 to the interview along with proof of your financial resources. It is essentially the same form as the I-864 although slightly modified. London basically wants to know when you get to the US you will have enough resources to stay and file for AOS.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-20 21:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	just got my NOA2 email. Just want to check i have the next step right	im assuming thats the affadavit of support, which for us is: I-864. this is straight form the london embassy website: "An I-864 is not required when applying for a fiancé(e) visa. An I-864 will be required at the time the fiancé(e) visa holder applies to adjust his or her status from nonimmigrant to conditional resident with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services(USCIS)." Yes, I-134 is the affadavit of support but it is needed for London along with all the necessary documentation. You are correct on your steps. Good luck!	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-20 21:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 / Fiance Visa Validity	The only thing necessary to be done in the 90 days is get married. Everything else can theoretically wait. You may want to also get your SSN while the I-94 is valid otherwise you will have to wait until you have your EAD.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-19 19:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	G-325A - No Father, Help Please!	Why are you asking a question if you refuse to listen to any answer but the one in your head? She has a father, it is impossible not to. He has a name, either she knows that name (write that) or she doesn't (write unknown). USCIS doesn't care if he was an absent father or that beat his children or he might have beenthe best father in the world. The question just wants a name.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-25 18:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	G-325A - No Father, Help Please!	My husband also put unknown.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-19 23:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can you decline your medical exam (vaccination shots)?	Hello everyone, I was wondering if you can decline your vaccination shots? My fiancee and I decided to try to make a family once she gets here. I hear that we need to wait 3 months if she gets a certain shots. Please let me know. Thanks Don't you want to take some time to relax and enjoy finally being together first? JMHO.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-11-24 20:12:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Applying for k-1 fiancé visa	No, you have to be free to marry to qualify for a K-1 visa which you are not. You can in the meantime get all your paperwork and info together and check and double check it to make sure it is correct to have a more streamlined process.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-25 23:42:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I29F Fiance Visa Criminal Record Question	My mistake. Edited by amykathleen2005, 27 January 2011 - 12:16 AM.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-27 00:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I29F Fiance Visa Criminal Record Question	I assume you are the beneficiary? They will probably ask for any court documents you have and everyone needs a police check for their interview. As it is a drug related offense you might/probably will be denied at least initially and you will have to file a waiver to get a visa. What embassy will you be interviewing at?	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-27 00:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Domodedovo Terror Attack: Expedite for Russia?	All of your Topics, and most of your posts this past week have been notoriously obnoxious and wordy (imho). The only point I read, was the fact that you have been grossly obsessed with the TPS program and the Haitians! OK WE GET IT! You are against their expedited Visas! That was yesterday's news! Now what? This topic has been very offensive to many as I stated earlier. Isn't it strange that the only common denominator is you and your bride weaved throughout the fabic sending a message, "It's all about ME"? Here is a picture of what I've seen today and why I found your post distasteful. THIS IS WHERE MY GROOM IS! This has been going on all week! Now please, leave it. Mari Some people come on this site to be helpful and to be helped, some come on this site only to prove that their love is somehow superior to everyone else's.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-25 23:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Domodedovo Terror Attack: Expedite for Russia?	Then should they offer them to people from the UK, Spain, Ireland who have all been victims of attacks in the recent past?	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-25 18:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-129f validity	They will automatically extend the validity of the NOA2 if it will expire soon. The only thing you might want to do is have the petitioner make a new letter of intent dated closer to the interview to reaffirm their interest in pursuing the visa, bring that to the interview (it probably won't even be needed, but just to be safe). London knows the process takes awhile so they renew the application all of the time.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-29 11:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiancee in Egypt	If you just applied he will not need a copy until his interview which won't be for several months. You could wait to send it until then.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-29 01:14:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Does I-129F process take 6 months or 1 year to complete for Ghana?	That's also not including if they stick you in AP.......	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-30 21:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Does I-129F process take 6 months or 1 year to complete for Ghana?	I would say about a year or a little less. The USCIS processing is taking around 6 months, then on to NVC for a few days/weeks and then off to the embassy who can take anywhere from a few weeks to few months for interview.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-30 20:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Dreaded 221(g)	Just curious, how often does a readjucated petition get sent back to consulate again?	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-31 17:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Dreaded 221(g)	Usually they say a denied visitor visa has no real impact on a K-1. But possibly the reason she was originally denied the visitor visa is the same problem now. Drugs or a police record come to mind (and I don't know your fiance, but those are common reasons for denial).	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2011-01-29 20:57:00
