K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarriage while waiting on K-1 Dominican Republic

We are current April Filers. Since TSC is just now processing requests from December 2013, my fiancée and I are considering the option of canceling the I-129f and proceeding with marriage and then filing the I-130.

Because of our religious beliefs and Bible trained conscious, we have not had any sexual contact since we met over a year ago. Each time I visit it gets even harder to abstain from sexual intercourse, so we decided to think about the marriage now. Please don't judge us, we just want our marriage bed undefiled by fornication.

Questions:

What are the pros and cons.

If we decide to go ahead with the marriage we have to do it in the DR, so what paperwork do I need to accomplish this?I am the Petitioner and US Citizen.

How long does it take after marriage to file for I-130? Should the waiting time be comparable to K-1 or sooner?

Any and all comments will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.












First thing congratulation for your decission about no sex before marriage. God bless you. You are right :) it doesnt matter what people say, God's opinion is the important one.
Second I have a friend that did the same thing.
She didnt want to have sex with his fiance before marrige
And the k1 was taking long, so they decided get marry.
They didnt cancel the k1 , they just got marry and when the appoinment for the k1 arrived she didnt go to the interview. She didnt call to cansulate either. Her appoinment latter arrived 2 months after she got marry.
She just waited her interview for spouse visa 8 months.
Then she went to her interview and was approved without problem, she is in usa now 7 years now.
So you can get marry without problem. You know that you are going to start over, but I think that can be wuicker that wait for tsc.
Tsc is taking for ever to approved and then you need to wait 3 or 4 months for interview.
There are a lot of informations about what documents you need at Junta central electoral wedsite.
I hope you can read spanish, and if you dont read spanish tell to your fiance that go to a junta central electoral and get the information or he can read on internet and tell you.
Good luck and be strong , God bless you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 expire date
At the moment you arrived to usa you are out of ''status''
Why? Because at the moment you use the k1 to enter to usa , k1 is expired.
K1 is valid for one enter.
the six months expiration date is all the time you have before enter to usa. But once you arrive k 1 isnt good no more.
But once you get marry before 90 days, you can do aos when you want.
You dont need do aos in the 90 days period.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen do I file DS 160???
You need the case number to fill out ds-160.
Case number is given by nvc, you can call nvc to know if they have your case number.
It is better fill out the ds-160 one months or lessbefore interview

I also had this question as we received the NOA 2 on 7-28-2014 and are awaiting further instruction.
 
My fiancée will have the interview in Bogota Colombia if that matters.
 
 
How do we know when to file the DS 160?
 
 
Thanks for any help. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRefused/221 (g) /administrative processing
Sorry that happened to you :(
It will take some months until uscis take a desicion in your case, maybe they aporoved again but it is dificult but no imposible. But you have high posibility that they deny your petition.
You can take avance and be proactive, now that you are here if you have the time get marry and start the visa for spouse visa.
And noe be sure that you both answer very well.
you can start the process for spouse visa while they send you the letter about the fiance petition.


After a very long day the person interviewing us gave us my fiancee's passport and a letter stating your visa application is refused under INA section 221 g and further action is suspended. Further, based on indications that the petition contains inaccurate info we are returning it to CIS of USCIS for review and possible revocation.

What do we do? Thank you in advance.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDCP what does it mean?

 
Bankruptcy would put him on that. I would have him call and inquire, you can always call too. Best to get the details.
 
Typically the US Immigration cares mostly about Fraud, Violent Offenses, Sexual Violence, etc.

Misdemeanors (as we know them) or bankruptcy would likely be overlooked. Ultimately, it depends on the CO, and the embassy's rules though.





Thanks for help, God bless you

IlovemymanFemaleDominican Republic2014-08-27 12:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDCP what does it mean?

DCP Departamento de Crédito Público
aka Department of Public Credit

Likely a defaulted loan or Credit Fraud.


 

thanks , thanks a million of thanks i hope that maybe it is because my fiance made bankruptcy  , i dont remember when

i hope that be that and no nothing about deparment child protection or Deputy Chief Police.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Scanned forms, Picture

Thanks for the info! I will definitely send the original forms. The only effective mailing from the Dominican Republic on a timely/predictable basis has been sending it with an American in a suitcase or [expensive!] FedEx. I would prefer something we have already tested for mailing, but we will have to test he idea about other companies soon!

When i started my process i used fedex to send something to my fiance, vwry expensive.
But after that, i found a good service at inposdom, yes!!! ,at inposdom ( correo dominicano) they have a good service with track number and you can see where is your package all the time until is delivery at usa, the service is SMS ( spress mail service) is a good service my documents or package arrive in 8 labors days or less.
It is very safe, i used fedex only one time , all my mail or package i use sms inposdom.
Go to any inposdom office and ask for sms.
It is the same from usa my fiance sent me all by spress mail and my paages arrive on time and safe.
No many people know about sms of inposdom. But when i found and tried it, i use it all the time.
Very good service

For documents the price is 20 dollars.
Others package depend from waight.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFinally Got an Interview Date!!

Thanks for the info, but doesn't the medical have to be current at least within two weeks b4 the interview?

Anyway, we hadn't even received the email yet and the interview is still not showing up on the cita list. Maybe it's because it's not until November.


Congratulations for your interview date.
E-mail the consulate asking for interview date, they will send you an e-mail with the beneficiary name and interview date on it, that is the packet 4, with that e-mail he print it and pay at banco popular ,and do medical.
Medical has to be done at least 3 weeks before interview, no before, he cant do medical one month before.
Remember that he need go to the medical and go back to pick up the results.
For that is good go 3 weeks before and go back to pick up the results.
Ds-160 can be fill out any time.
If your fiance wants he can fill out now, and keep the confimation page.
I filled out my ds-160 one month before interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPetition approved

We were approved for our k1 visa petition on 4/24/14 and Online it states petition will probably be sent to NVC next....but I get home yesterday and the NOA2 is in the mail...and it says that the petition will be sent to listed consulate...but no where on the form does it state which consulate....I know where it's suppose to go...I know it supposed to eventually end up in Dominican Republic...but the letter didn't say that....and no other instructions other than we are supposed to get married in 90 days and what would happen if we didn't. ...that's it....nothing else...I'm so confused. ..bc online it says NVC and the letter says contact your consulate for more information. ...what do I do??? Help me...!!!

The letrer is general information, your petion is at nvc.
you need to wait by your case number.
When you status shows in transit, that mean that your case is sent to santo domingo.
After that, in one month you can e-mail them to see if they have asigned an interview date.

guys, my status was change into AP yesterday :(


Hope your status change to issue soon
I am in ap from march 24, my interview was in march 18.
They dont care if you are desperate to be with your fiance.
Even if everything is right they give hard time to people.
The thing that make me angry and mad to me is that fake relationship they approved and issue quick.
But sometimes the real couples they put in ap and that can take long

Well, dont worry they will issue the visa when they want.

They play with the people in the way they want.
They dont care about people they do the things how they want.
The only thing you can do is WAIT.

You need get rhe passport , inside that envelope there is another envelope and the passport.
