K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE's
That's why I said, the OP can send it if they want. But other people read these threads for advice in filing, which is why I said the second part.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE's

This isn't always true. There are some members on here (KiwiBird, off the top of my head) that didn't send any of the required proof and ended up sending in a copy of her NOA1 as well as her evidence and it got matched up with her petition and she now has her NOA2.

My suggestion is that there is no harm in trying. Make copies of absolutely everything, send it in, and hope for the best. If it doesn't get matched up, then all you're out is the cost of sending it.


Kiwi got very lucky in that regard. The OP can go ahead and try, no harm. But people should not take that as a sign that they should just send a half completed application in and expect to just send the rest in later. Do it right the FIRST time.

I just hope that I don't get a flat out DENIED. That would require some serious binge drinking!!!


That is unlikely and only seems to happen very occasionally in your situation.

They will not be able to match it up with your application up with the added info. Just wait until you get an RFE.

The submission delay is not the government's fault, it is your own. And as of the latest data for January 2011 Cali had 24,000 petitions and in the entire USCIS system there are currently 1.5 million petitions.

One time trip for the interview, although you will somehow need to get the medical done too. So maybe two trips, but that's it.

It is funny how people want to find out all the detail and how I need to learn my lesson?

Well I provided more information that should be enough to give an appropriate answer, thanks.

I just would like to know how to complete a 3rd I-129F correctly.


The purpose of this site is to help couples(and others) complete the immigration process. Having a developed, healthy and happy relationship is a necessary part of that process to see it through to the end.

If you contiually filed paperwork incorrectly several times we would tell you to go back, take your time and do it right the first time. The same idea applies here.

Unlikely (although because you probably would come over land it may work). Your K-1 visa is attached to the passport so they will see it when you enter. Better to visit just before the interview.

Then marry in Peru and file a CR1. You will go back to the US (or stay with him there). He waits until it is approved and enters as a new permanent resident!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSSN?
First time posting. Have been reading and learning so much from this forum over the last year, and would like to thank you all with
the great information provided by you posters that have been through much already. My fiance, (he USC and I Canadian) were
just approved for our K-1 last Thursday at US consulate in Vancouver.
As stressed out over the last few month over this whole process, (sleepless nights, bad dreams) I have to confess, I cant
beleive how smoothly it all actually went. From first filing to getting approved (even with RFE) was 7 months total.. and a few months
of it were dragging our feet to get paperwork in, lol.
All of those still waiting, keep your chin up.. it will happen.. it is just alot of waiting for sure.

Now for a question.. (im sure ill have a few more as the process continues)
I actually had a E2 visa a few years ago, when US economy went bad, I sold my business and didnt renew the visa.
Now, years later I am approved for the K-1.
SO.. since I had an SSN for the E2 and know I will need one again when we are married and do next paperwork.. do I have to apply for new one, or
can I have the one I already have adjusted. (currently it says on bottom of SSN card, "not valid for work")
I would love to keep same number as I have great credit on my number and would benefit me for my new life in US.
Not sure if anyone has run into this before.

Keep up the good work with the information everyone! You dont realize how beneficial it is.

My Fiance clicked the intend box and wrote "I will furnish my home as her home. I will provide all room/board and any expenses necessary for as long as needed, Indefinitly even."

CentaursLadyFemaleCanada2011-12-13 19:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExact process order for Medical exam, interview, etc.
I made sure I had everything ready for medical, because I had it done day before interview (since I had to travel half way across Canada and had only two days for medical and interview)
If you read carefully on the medical office website, they clearly tell you what you need.
I had no problems and was a breeze. (actually was number 25 in line and by the time the doctor got to me,it was so late, so it was all of, look in mouth, ears, listen to chest. All is good, cheque please, lol.}
There were people that did not pass because they did not have the right immunization, so they could not get medical approved till they had it done. SO then no interview would be allowed. The lady did inform the waiting room of this, and some people still did not understand. Immunizations were very important to them.
So if you are travelling to have it all done same time, make sure everything is in order.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE problems
Customs is usually at point of leaving your home country. But some have been checked again at point of entry of US. So could be either or, depending on your country.
At one time from canada, you went through customs at your arrival destination... now its before you leave Canada at airport. This way, your not already in states to cause the mess
of having to go all the way back.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE problems
I wish Codybanks all well then. I figured it had to be criminal record stuff. Its only thing i could think of.
MizT, If you are planning to go K-1 route, I would just start it.. sounds like you already were planning it, and border would
find you out. I wouldnt try anything fishy, and would be harsh depending on who you get stopped by. I believe some have visited while in K-1 process.. you just have to prove really strong ties to have to be back home at end of visit.
I was not engaged or thinking about K-1 at the time of my visit. But after my bf visited me, we talked about our future. It was a defining moment of "ok, where do we want to go in
our relationship" and he proposed, then we started the K-1.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE problems
If i can give any advice, bring everything you can that binds you to your country so that there is not question you are going to stay in US. They are totally looking for anything that
would deem you not leaving from your "visit"
I didnt have anything because I have been back and forth to US so many times I cant count and those questions never came up before. I even visited my bf for 5 months and they never questioned staying. It just goes to show you, you never know what a CBP will ask.
You must be honest and say you are visiting a fiance as the dates of being in US is on one of the form questions. "dates of previous visits to US"

I guess my real question would be, does this get checked during the paperwork process?
I am not a confrontational person at all and I was so upset the last time I tried to visit my nerves were so shaken.

CentaursLadyFemaleCanada2011-12-15 21:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE problems
I have a question for some of you that may have had a similar situation. I have read that being denied entry to visit US because of not enough ties does
not effect the granted K-1 Visa. Since I was accepted and am waiting for my passport and I-94 so I can go down to US, will there be additional problems at border
since you were "flagged" ?
The last time I tried to visit my fiance (boyfriend at the time) the officer was downright nasty. She said she could ban me, never let me return, and so on. Dont know
what her deal was but even the other officers around her were scared of her, lol.
I would assume that through the NVC, they would have checked anything that may have been put in the system by a border guard, and would have been brought up
during the interview. I did tell them I was denied on one of the forms, and my interviewer asked why, and said "not enough ties" and she just nodded her head.
Anyone have any idea on this?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVancouver Processing
I recieved letters in mail telling me next step. Once you have completed DS 230 and faxed it in.. then you gather all the info on the checklist sheet.. then once you comfirmed you have gathered everything, you fax the checklist in. Then they send you by mail the notice to schedule appointment,which you pay for online $350 at same time. Right now, interview dates are within a week if you choose so. I could have picked two days later, lol.
If you have to do Woking, they are only open Wed., so I did medical on Wed and interview on Thurs. (since I had to fly to Vancouver)

You know its funny too... I had all my stuff in order as per checklist, then when I had interview , they first give you a sheet on the paperwork order at the consulate, so you have to reshuffle stuff, and the duplicate of the orginal paperwork they didnt ask a single thing for.

I met my wife in a strip club in Escondido, California. Pretty wasted already, I thought she looked hot. We got it on right then and there with a happy ending on the bed of my pickup truck. That same night we drove to Vegas and got married. When I was sober again she didn't look as hot anymore, but #######, it is what it is.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRECEIVED RFE NEED HELP!
I had a RFE as well, and even with a letter of "our story" we had to submit evidence of the meetings "face to face." They want to know the times in each others presence. Even though we had sent pictures of us together, we ended up sending more, and also bank statements of purchases in each others cities. Even gas in the car "since we drove to see each other" We submitted restaurant statements as well. Any proof of us being around each other.
We got approved 10 days later with those items.

With those, I dont think you will have a problem. Good luck :)
