K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129f petition APPROVED...but unsure of next steps

Hello all! I received an email that my fiance petition was approved. Unfortunatley, I'm not as on the ball as I should have been.  I haven't started collecting the 134 information yet....AND I'm uninformed on what to fill out if I have a sponsor.  PLEASE HELP! Also, what should my fiance be doing?  He is in Ghana (police report/immunizations)?...about how long does it take between the approval and the interview date?

jahk18 and haana good luck to both of you!  I'm soooo nervous! leeannakondor, I didn't wait for the letter.  I tracked my package via DHL and once I saw that it had been signed for I sent an email to IVDVACCRA@state.gov, consulateaccra@state.gov, and acsaccra@state.gov asking when he could come pick up his packet, and they responded with an email saying when he could come in.  Thanks for everyone's positive vibes!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview date September 30th!

Hi guys,

 

I just wanted to thank the VJers who have really answered all of my neurotic questions and provided so much helpful information.  My fiance's interview is September 30th in Accra.  I'm extremely nervous, terrified, and hopeful all at the same time.  Please reach out with any advice.  But overall, I'm grateful that I made it this far without complication, and with all of your help.

 

Christina

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS Updated Processing Times 2/18/2014

Is this processing times for just I-130 part? or for all of it to be done?

 

(probably stupid question to you experts, but I don't know the whole process completely yet)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS has turned my marriage into a joke...

I got married and stayed there another month before coming back to the states to start the application process. I already feel like government is trying to make it impossible. Maybe the evidence and such is not important hardly at all, maybe the real test from them is to see if you can last.. I have a keen feeling that I am going to end up back in Mexico with him. Being separated is very hard.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHello... Im a newbie to VJ

Hey, Im Amber. This website has also been amazingly helpful for me throughout my entire Visa process so far. This link was probably the most helpful guide for me. http://www.visajourn...php/NVC_Process . These two links were also amazingly helpful,  http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/EZGuideSpouse and  http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/How_Do_I_Bring_My_Spouse_(Husband_or_Wife)_to_Live_in_the_United_States%3F#TRACK_1_-_I-864 . You are about at the same part as me, keep in touch with me if you need any more help, or of course you can just make a new post, the people on this website are so very helpful.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSo this is how it works ?

Yea I know Just getting tired of the waiting to hear something

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSo this is how it works ?

My wife and I mailed our I-130 May 2013  We got our first NOA stating that our application was revived on June 3 2013.  Then on December 19 2013 I received a second notice telling me that our -paper work was transferred  to the Nebraska service center.  Sooooo does this mean our paper work was just lying around in some pile in USCIS office in Missouri for over 7 months without being even looked at?  And our wait time began in December 19?  If so I'm about to just move to Australia and live in her country ~L~   I'm ashamed of the way my country handles those who are trying to do things legal.  And enter the country the correct way.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally

Thanks to you both.  I made a trip to see her in November and it did make the wait a little better.  Shame of it is she is in her summer and will hit here in  my summer ~L~  Well at least its a little cooler here in the Midwest than in Australia.  ~chuckles~

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFinally

After 272 days of waiting we finally got our approval as of 03/02/2014.  Now we have our fingers crossed that it all moves along quickly  with the rest of the process. After all we will be missing our first wedding anniversary on 03/23/14.  I know the government will never get this done before then ~L~

The only thing that concerns me now is that if I'll apply for dual citizenship my US and Phil. Passports wont have the same Middle Names. Since I've been using my Mother's maiden name as my Middle Name now that I am married. Good luck on your application!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionSupine letter of I -751

I will have my 10 yrs interview this month. My husband ask a time off to work , his company said he can get a time off BUT HE will get a points. This interview affect his job. His work said that this is a personal matter that's why they can't give him time off. I was wondering if I can request a supine letter to our congressman?? Or where can I request that?

Any info please?



Hi, I hope my experience will help u a little, regarding your scheduled permanent resident renewal appointment. I was by myself when I had my interview coz my husband had to work. So, If having him with you on the day of your appointment date is your concern, I think it will work out just fine if you will be by yourself.

Philippinesmoney problems in paradise...

I've seen a few posts that mention it's normal for fiances family to ask for money in the Philippines when emergencies come up. I had already sat down and explained to my fiances family that I will not be sending any money back, that my fiance can send back 100% of whatever money she makes. I really didn't think anything that major would come up, but I was sadly mistaken. Her brother got into a motorcycle accident and when I heard the cost of the surgery I knew it was pretty damn bad. I never thought it would be hard saying I can't send money but it was. I'm wondering if anyone has found other ways to deal with this kind of situation? I don't know many people who would give 10k to their wives families in the US so how do you justify doing it for someone in the philippines? It feels like either way it's a bad decision, being a crutch can hurt as much as help. I understand their daily life and general stuff, but I still don't understand how loans work or how you have to wait for surgery until you pay for it all. I guess it's all a bigger dilemma than I originally thought it would be.


I hope her brother will get to feeling better. I feel sad about him being hurt and as well as for you who is basically helping them, as far as the financial aspect is concerned. I dont know about other cultures, but in the phils. as I speak for myself, being a pinay. It is very common for families who are in poverty to depend on other family members for help, which s sad. And they think money is so abundant that it just grow on trees here in the United States. There will never be any way to make them understand that people here do work hard in order to live and pay bills. I hope things will work out for you and your fiance. And that her love for you will inspire her to have the courage to explain to her family that there should be a limit on how much she can help because you both are preparing for your future together as a couple, coz by the time she gets here it will cost you even more. And a lot of adjustments on her part as well. So good luck to u both!

PhilippinesTB History

hi VJ!

i had my medical last 2 weeks ago and the scar was still visible so i underwent Sputum Test. I told them that i had a TB History and that was caused my scar but i already had treatment last 2011.

my question is do i have to say yes to the question in one of the DS Forms " Have you ever been afflicted with a communicable disease of public health significance.......?"

i just dont want to lie but am little afraid also if this will be a hindrance of my K1 Visa...

i need your comments. Thank you!



Hello kababayan, Honesty is the best policy. If im in your shoes, I will answer yes, coz u have documents to prove that u were treated. Good luck!

Hola Nena

 

para el ajuste de estatus necesitas 1 registro civil Original con su debida traduccion (El USICS no especifica si la traduccion deba ser notarizada o no, la verdad las especificaciones de todo el proceso noson tan claras como el proceso K-1, pero la mayoria envia la traduccion notarizada para evitarse de pronto un RFE, ya que anteriormente al iniciar el proceso K-1 a mi si me pidieron las cosas notarizadas, no se los demas.)

La traduccion y la notarizacion me cobraron aca en EEU 20 usd.

Dependiendo del estado a donde van a vivir, para casarse solicitan tambien registro civil con traduccion, y en algunas otras cosas que se neceitan tambien lo piden.

Por tal razon, recomiendo unos 2 o 3 originales (no aceptan copias) para no tener que voltear despues por si los necesita.


 

Nena Todas las formas deben ser llenadas en ingles, en la pagina de la USCIS especifican muy bien eso. Te cuidas y que te vaya muy bien en la entrevista.


GRACIAS SANDRAAAA, BUENO LOS VOY A SACAR....MIL GRACIAS...BENDICIONES!!


Nena es en ingles pero como es info es sencillo.... ese es el numero de la aplicacion... suertestar_smile.gif

 

ES EL MISMO ID NUMBER?
