K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Proof of Relationship Question	Just cross it out with a Sharpie. They don't need to see every intimate word to get the idea that you have a relationship. Presumably you have alot of chat logs, so why not just pick a few ordinary conversations over the course of the months you have been together?	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-09-09 21:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How does one show finacial ability and is it required?	Gingerpants is correct. The question was, if the beneficiary has to show some sort of financial ability to live in the USA. Gingerpants reply was correct. Audy_Rob, be more careful about reading, and understanding, the question. Audy_Rob did not state anything incorrect. The OP did not specify who was the petitioner and who was the beneficiary. Hello my fiance's income is based on social security disability (income contribution) and he was getting around $12,600.00 (net) and on his part time job which is around $3,600.00 so a total of $16,200.00 ANNUAL INCOME last year and presently . Is that sufficient enough for him to meet the target income of 125% poverty line ? Coz I was thinking that a petitioner which is on disability income has a lower chances of Visa being approved. With that figures please help me if that will suffice the allowable income. He cannot have a full time job coz he's on disability that's why he only takes part time job. Please help if these incomes he has right now will pass the the requirement. Thank you very much.......HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME ON THIS ONE... No that is not enough. He will need around $18,000 to qualify. However, assets or a cosponsor may be used to fufill the requirement.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	undercover agent spams?	I agree with everyone else that it is probably just someone trying to upset you. However, it is still very possible that USCIS could come on this site and figure out who you are.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-09-11 12:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Did not get vaccinated for k1	If you come in on a K-1 the shots must be done before you file for AOS. So you can get them done in India if you like or you can have them done once you come over to the US but you need to complete them and have them transcribed by a civil surgeon in order to apply for AOS.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-09-22 22:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	G-325A - Same info on both forms?	Each of you has your own form which you write your own information and sign yourself.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-09-26 17:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	visiting during k1 process	Immigration has it in your records that you have applied for a visa. If you say you are visiting just a girlfriend or friend when in fact you are visiting your fiance or you lie about how long you want to stay you are committing fraud.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-08-05 12:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Just wondering...answer please!	He is welcome to come to marry on a visitor's visa, but he would have to then leave again and apply for a spousal visa.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-07-31 23:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	confussed	The I-134 is not a legally binding affidavit, it is used for non-immigrant visa's. Up until you marry (and subsequently file for Adjustment of status) the non-USC fiance will hold a non-immigrant visa. This allows them to get into the US before having a legal relationship with the USC fiance. The I-134 will need to be filled out by a qualified sponsor (the USC if he/she doesn't earn enough $ then also a co-sponsor) This form will need to be notarized. This does not get sent with the I-129F application. This is only submitted to the Embassy during the interview. Each Embassy will have information on this and will send it to you soon after your approved I-129F is forwarded to them. The I-864 is a legally binding contract that the sponsor will be financially responsible for the immigrant in the event the immigrant attempts to benefit from certain federal aid programs. This form is filed at the Adjusment of Status part of the journey (after the Non-USC has travelled to the States and you two get married). I believe the new forms do not need to be notarized (check this) as they are already legally binding. The I-134 does not need to be notarized, at least for the London embassy.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	confussed	I-134 for K-1. When you eventually get to AOS you need the I-864. And for someone to use the I-864A to help you meet the requirements they need to be a household member. They would fill out a separate I-864 as a co sponsor who does not live with you, just FYI.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-03 20:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can they flat out Deny K-1 ????	We you actually divorced at the time of filing the application?	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-02 13:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Toughest Countries to get approval from	You will probably not have word about an interview until December or so. For the NOA2 approval it takes about 3 months and then your application is sent to the National Visa Center which sends it on to London. Once London gets it they send paperwork for your fiance to fill out and after that is sent back you are put in the queue for an interview. However, if you are deployed you could possibly qualify for an expedite.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-03 21:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Toughest Countries to get approval from	This thread talks all about people's experience with the London embassy for K-1 interviews, it might give you some insight. My link	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-03 17:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Toughest Countries to get approval from	One of the easier ones absolutely. Probably when it comes down to it a bit better than Canada because London is much faster.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-03 17:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can the beneficiary be the petitioner?	Well, it's just my opinion, but I think if it's sent from Australia, they're going to look at it as being filed by you. That's just my opinion and maybe I'm more paranoid than necessary. I just wouldn't want something as simple as sending it from Australia rather than the US, or having my signature instead of my fiances, be the reason I either get denied or have a bigger hassle getting accepted. Our petition was sent from Scarborough, UK (we went to the post office together when I was visiting) and we had no problems, it doesn't matter where the petition is mailed from.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-05 23:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can the beneficiary be the petitioner?	Calm down everyone. The cover letter for all intends and purposes doesn't matter. It is just a table of contents really. Have your dog paw print it for all USCIS cares. As long as you have the forms which are required signed by the appropriate person then it will be fine.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-05 23:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Asking AGAIN because no one answered. Please help me!	You only just asked yesterday, you would have eventually gotten a response. Try to get your questions in in the morning and afternoon EST, there seems to be the most activity on the boards at that point.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-09 22:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 Potential Problems	Uncalled for? Take a look at the responses. This is the normal response I get when I post here. One or Two very informative responses, and the rest Ignorant #######. This site used to be good but something is changing. The response is normal because it is correct. You mentioned abuse no where in your original post. I was simple and polite in my answer to your question. If you want a different answer perhaps you should ask a different question.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-10 17:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 Potential Problems	You can't force anyone to marry. And if she doesn't meet the K-1 expectations she'll have to go back home. Edited by amykathleen2005, 10 October 2010 - 01:51 PM.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-10 13:50:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Question Help Please!!	It totally depends where your local office is. If it is Dallas expect a couple months wait, if it is Cleveland you should be getting one right about now. Where are you from?	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-18 17:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	UH-OH! - Should we be worried about this?	The embassy should extend the validity of the approval. You may need to write a letter of intent continuing your support of the application, but that is consulate specific, so I will let someone from Bogota answer that one.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Why not right away???	Also in terms of the application and interview you will probably want to front load your petition with evidence of your relationship, is one visit enough time to get enough evidence to include to prove to one of the hardest consulates that you have a relationship?	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-24 19:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Why not right away???	In my opinion the K-1 visa is a fiance visa, not a wait and see what happens visa. If you can tell after one face to face meeting that you are sure you want to marry and that you both love and trust one another than apply. But if you are not sure don't waste immigration's time and resources for a visa you are not going to use.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-24 19:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 Visa--My responsibility	If you cannot wait for a visa to process you are not serious and never were. There really isn't any need for a comment like that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Do you suggest getting an attorney or use an agency?	We filed ourselves and no problems. As long as you are willing to take the time to read the instructions and examples, ask questions when you don't understand and check it over again than you will be fine. If you have a question about your case ask it here, I almost guarantee you will get some response within a few hours. Try that with a lawyer.....	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-25 23:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 queries	I think that assets must be 5 times the amount required. So if for example there are just the two of you in the family than she would need about $18000 in income or $90,000 in assets. Someone please correct me if I am wrong about the exact amounts.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-27 19:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	London and Christmastime...	1. He should be able to schedule it without a passport number, you will get a reference number to book the medical. You will however need a passport for the medical. So make sure you will have it back by then. 2. London does slow down big time around Christmas, based on our case last year our stuff was sent to London in mid October and our interview was in the very beginning of January.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-27 16:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Wife missed I-797C Notice of Action Interview. What next?	If she missed her Adjustment of Status interview then she is in deep trouble. Your case will have been denied and since it is a month and a half later she is probably been put in some type of removal proceeding. Her permission to come back into the US on the Advanced Parole stopped when she missed the interview so she cannot come back into the US on that. You could try to appeal but as it was your fault you missed the interview (and not some fault of USCIS) you might not get very far. What visa did she originally come in on? Your only option now really would be to find out about any possible removal proceedings and then file for a CR-1 visa while she is still in Canada. I doubt she will be able to return to the US until she is granted a CR-1 which will take several months.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-10-28 12:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Preparing for Interview	I don't know much about it but from what I have read from other's experiences the medical people make the recommendation. If the medical people see a problem they would have probably asked for additional information or sent him for additional evaluation. I would not think that it should be a problem.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Is entering U.S. and sent back to country(not deported) considered being in the U.S.?	Well be ready with an explanation at the interview as to why you were confused with the question.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NOA-1 question	You are correct, Dallas distributes the petitions to the appropriate place. Vermont is currently going a bit faster than California, so you are lucky your petition is there.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-11-01 22:12:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	A couple of questions regarding entry into the U.S. / marriage certificate	Hey guys, thank you for all your past help and suggestions. We have successfully acquired the K-1 visa (my fiancee is from Colombia). In order for her to pass onto the airplane and past customs and immigration in the U.S., all she needs is the K-1 visa packet, her passport, and medical records? Is this correct? Also, in regards to the marriage certificate, do you know how difficult it is to obtain this (ie for marrying in Ohio)? Is it more of a hassle with the K-1? Are there any web resources for this? Thank you for all your invaluable help and advice. -Andrew She needs her passport which includes the visa, the envelope they sent you that says do not open and her x-ray. We got our license in Cleveland on a K-1 and no problems at all.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-11-03 18:31:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 visa though we're already married in Peru?	If the marriage is recognized by the other government then the US will recognize it as well. Lying would be a bad move. You have to get a spousal visa now. File for a Cr-1, takes a little more time but comes with a greencard.	amykathleen2005	Female	England	2010-11-03 22:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Bank Statement....	If you make more than enough in income then the bank statement will not be an issue.
