K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What to do...	stick with the co sponsor bcos i have read how the ghana embassy can be strict with the I134..  By the way I ask earlier can u show me how to track the package on DHL to see if the Ghana consulate have it signed in their system.Thanks   osted Today, 12:40 PM http://www.dhl.com/e..._reference.html   Use this link for dhl's website.  Under 'tracking' choose 'tracking by reference'   Enter EXP the day on which it was shipped minus a day, the first 3 letters of the month it was shipped and 2013A.  For example, if it was shipped on the 2nd of September you would writeEXP 01 SEP 2013A   Under date range for shipment you can put one day before and one day after your package shipped.   Leave the account number blank and then enter Ghana as your country	Chris_B	Female	Ghana	2013-09-02 11:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What to do...	Thanks for all of the helpful responses.  I am going to keep the cosponsor.  I'm just concerned because I've already compiled paystubs and tax information for the jobs that I no longer work....Should I still submit these documents?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What to do...	Hi guys,   My fiance's interview is on September 30th.  Originally, I had decided to use a co-sponsor because I was working 3 part-time jobs and wanted to be on the safe side in terms of looking financially viable.  However, I was recently offered a full time position that would cover the financial requirements for the k1 visa.  The job starts on September 9th.  I would be letting go of 2 of the part time jobs, which means working 1 part time job, and 1 ft job.  I'm not sure how to reflect all of these changes on the I-134.  Do I still need a sponsor?  I don't have any paystubs from the job that starts on the 9th of September, but I have a signed letter from my employer stating the position, the salary, etc.  Please let me know!   Christina	Chris_B	Female	Ghana	2013-08-31 09:39:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	K-1 February 2014 Interviews	Does anyone know if you can pay for the medical with a credit card or does it have to be cash?   I'd suggest you call at the clinic and ask, like I asked if the fee for the visa interview could be paid with a credit card or it must be cash and luckily the consulate answer was either way is fine.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Same Sex K-1 I-129F Filed	Happy New Year, everyone!   I haven't posted on here for a while but I'm quite ecstatic to share that I was able to reschedule a much earlier interview - 14 JAN 2014 - in 10 days! Our original interview date was 06 FEB 2014 but someone must have canceled/rescheduled theirs so the earlier date opened up! It's exciting, however very nerve-wracking to finally be able to interview for my K-1 visa.   I'll keep you guys posted on how my medical and interview goes.  Take care and best of luck to all!   That is awesome! We wish best of luck on your interview	Blaga-Tina	Female	Bulgaria	2014-01-05 03:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Same Sex K-1 I-129F Filed	We have our interview tomorrow and I can't believe we've already come this far! Can't describe how exciting and nerve-wracking it is, but I will be so glad to finally have this process behind us.   Hang in there guys & girls - I'm so happy to see more approvals coming through. It's just a matter of being patient and soon everything will get moving. I waited 2 weeks before calling NVC to get my case number, and once I had it - everything moved extremely fast after that.   Wishing you all good luck with your cases!        Congratulations and good luck on your interview! I'm so excited for you girls!   Blaga	Blaga-Tina	Female	Bulgaria	2013-12-05 01:13:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Last name changing	Hello all, I'm a Dec flier who just got married this Sat and I'm filling out the adjustment paperwork. Due to my job and all of the clinical licenses I'd have to get changed, for the time being we were just going to keep using my last name. Has anyone tried going through the adjustment paperwork period and submitted everything with the name not changed? Also FYI, SAVEYOUR NOA2 in a secure place! I thought mine was fine and when we went to go find it, nope and we tore the house apart tonight with no luck.	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-08-04 01:01:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	What do you think about arranging all of the stuff we have to send for them to take to the consulate in a 3ring binder? I wanted to create one for my fiance with indexes and the papers 3hole punched as I've seen other people talk about doing that. But then I balked at well darn what if they get pissy about this being 3hole punched. I think it would be easy to present, and easier to read through	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-05-22 01:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	I agree call late at night or early in the morning. Be prepared for a long wait time. I waited 1hr 30min only to forget my fiance's birth year for the identification and had to start over with another 30min wait on hold.	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-05-22 01:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	How do you find out when the case was received at NVC? I called and finally got through so I have the #, but I didn't get a date for when it got there.	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-05-15 23:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	Last question for the night, how far back would you think is needed for proof of an ongoing relationship? I went to print off all the messages on fb between now and when he left in Dec and that's 35pgs even when I reduced it to georgia 10 and took out the spaces. I also have skype calls I can print off as well, so maybe shrink it down to 3mths or just edit out some so it's a brief look at Dec-May?	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-05-12 03:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	This is an interesting thing I found looking for the bank account stuff, did any of you all send tax returns for the past 3 yrs or just the most recent? I saw this thing about sending 3yrs of tax returns back when I first started looking into the fiance visa, but it's not listed in the instructions for the I-134 nor the list from Australia as needed.	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-05-12 02:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	http://www.visajourn...ployment_Letter I found this but it feels a bit too skimpy. Also, it looks like bank letters are needed, so do I just go in and ask for one? My primary bank account I've had since I was 16 and has my grandparents on it, bc a) at the time I was underage and b) it has helped us with managing bills as a family due to me going through the cycles of being a broke teen, a broke college kid, a broke grad student, and finally a person who appears to make money but in reality pays a lot to student loans. Also, I pay most of their bills on a credit card to get airline miles for the upcoming trips to Oz for visiting his kid and family.	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-05-12 02:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	Howdy ya'll,   I'm back and a bit confused as I remember finding all of these forms at like 3am after a long day at work and really should have jotted notes instead of trusting myself to sort it out. http://canberra.usem...e_niv_appl.html is my list of things to do/send to him. Now I know I've seen on here I could use an i-9 as proof of employment, but that seems a bit much and would require a trip to another state as my supervisor said immediately that's something HR has to do. So what are you all thinking for the letter from my job? And if the recent tax documents are sent, does a letter from my bank need to go as well? Lastly, just curious but since I'm not married yet to him...does his daughter who is staying in Australia with her mom count as a dependent? Or is this I-134 just for me and him, and I don't list any dependents at all. Edited by crymwest, 12 May 2014 - 02:06 AM.	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-05-12 01:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	Do you all think it would be fine to go ahead and start gathering all of the stuff for the affidavit of support??? It's sent to the NVC, and tbh I'd rather just have him have the packet ready so that when Syndey emails him for all of it he can immediately send it in. Or should I wait until I get the word that it's swimming to Australia as someone said?	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-05-08 03:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	Sigh, nvm I think it's NVC either way but that wording of Dept OR NVC threw me off. I sympathize with you all, I want to toss all the fliers from Jan to April off a bridge, or rather the peon in the office that picked up their chart ahead of the ones from Oct, Nov, and Dec   Question for those further along, how are ya'll getting updates on your visa's status from NVC onwards? Is it still updating on the UCIS website? Edited by crymwest, 07 May 2014 - 02:12 AM.	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-05-07 02:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	So I got this "On May 6, 2014, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly."   Da fuq is that? NVC??? The wording under it says "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." I'm confused, who am I supposted to be calling? and when? Bc I thought NOA2 meant it was already being sent to NVC	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-05-07 02:06:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	omg its here! My noa2 notification text came at 7:46pm tonight. It literally happened right after we got some bad news about his mom, as in I got his message, went to text my grandma to tell her and it popped up. I was crying and having so many mixed emotions. He's been at his mom's bedside and it was 10am there and he's been there all night and the joy of "I'm coming home" was just so heavy for us both. I know we still have the rest of the stuff, but we're approved, this is happening! Thank you all so much, I just can't tell you how much finding this community has helped me during this crazy time. I'll be back with my questions about phase two once I've slept and regained my sanity.	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-04-24 00:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	I'm still here waiting on my NOA2 as well. New month and one month left until we can start calling	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-04-03 00:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	Hope this NOA2 soon comes through, I will be 52 tomorrow, an my love turned 60 last month ( February ) an we are not getting any younger....   Happy Birthday! In some ways I wish I hadn't seen there was November filers, because now it makes me sad. I remember pouring over these pages, then I got the paperwork and it was just such a big thing to work on that we submitted it the Wed before Thanksgiving. I remember sitting that weekend with my fiance's at my family's various dinners saying oh he should be back by March! Because that was what we were seeing for Oct and Nov with the wicked fast turn around. Now I have nights were I'm so upset I didn't work harder to get those papers in faster. Today we had a disagreement because I'm freaking out about my job and he's saying he's still going to turn down any full time gigs on his end because why start a new job just to leave. The stress of waiting is putting almost more of a strain than anything else thus far. It's hard to keep those it'll be ok vibes going some days. I know it will, but it's just off in the distance for so many where other's are like racing by.	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-03-06 01:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	I totally agree with the we're the monitor stand pile of files. I've learned my lesson and sticking to our month's thread and the Nov TSC's thread. It stings seeing the Feb one with approvals	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-02-27 15:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	I go back and forth with all of you where its one week of stalking the forums and the USCIS website, then a week of dude what the hell. I feel so jealous for those that have gotten approvals in Jan and even Feb!! I know all us TSC filers are right in there with the Nov batch and there's like 6 there waiting.....but really its like /facepalm so and so posts that yay I beat a new record of NOA2! I wish there was more transparency with the visa process. Like ok you're in the intitial review, does that mean we're still waiting on background checks or something to come in?? Do you feel there's an issue and that RFE  is just waiting to be mailed? Where am I in a pile? Maybe if there was just a check off list of ok background check is in or pending yada yada.   I knew it was foolish to get my hopes up after seeing that flood of NOA2 approvals when I filed in Nov, but I'd like to be able to plan things ya know. He needs to know how much longer he has with his daughter there (she's staying with her mum and we'll get visits). He also needs to know how much longer he needs to expect to be working there and living there. We planned for the 5mths, so it'd be April/May, bbbbbbbbuuttt then again there's the dozen later fliers who will have their beloveds home way before then. Sorry for the semi rant, I'm just frustrated with the utter lack of control here	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-02-19 15:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	Of course as soon as I wrote this I finally got through! Found out our case was mailed to the consulate on Monday and got our case number! I'm so excited!   Wait so had you gotten a NOA2 yet? When did you mail in? Obviously I'm TSC so it may be different but I'm going to try first thing if thats the case	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-02-12 20:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	December 2013 filers	So how do we call and actually speak to someone? Select the there is a problem option?? I called the 18003755283 number and went through the system to check the most recent status update but that didn't leave me any options to talk to someone unless I wanted to report a move or something. Ideas?	crymwest	Not Telling	Australia	2014-02-11 13:48:00
