K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Finally 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.	Ilovemyman	Female	Dominican Republic	2014-10-05 05:24:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NOTICE Rfe	En un post reciente lei una situacion como la tuya, y el hombre recibio una nota diciendo que uscis no podia continuar con el caso porque encontraron un caso grave y era que la prometida era menor de edad y que ellos tenian que referir el caso a la justicia, y en la nota lo acusaban de delito sexual internacional con menores. Espero que ese no sea tu caso. Pero antes de empesar el proceso debiste leer sobre menores, porque hasta en este pais que las leyes no se cumplen los casos con menores son delicados. Mas en usa que son estrictos con las leyes.	Ilovemyman	Female	Dominican Republic	2013-11-17 16:48:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Meeting in Person and the 2 year limit	You met in person on June 25, 2013. If you have no other meeting between then and filing the petition, then the petition has to be filed by June 25, 2015. You had to have met in person, face-to-face within the 2 years prior to the filing of the I-129F. You will provide proof of meeting with the petition. This requirement has nothing to do with the marriage date. For a K-1 visa, you must marry within 90 days of entering the US.   Also, the I-134 and financial information is not provided with the I-129F petition filing. That will be needed later for the actual K-1 visa interview. I dont understand how you say if they met at 2013 they have to wait until 2015, I met my fiance on,april 2013 and he sent the petition on june 2013, and we went approved.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Just Starting the K-1 Application, a few questions	Hi all!!   So, my fiance and I (the USC) have been researching and gathering our evidence for the K-1 practically since before we got engaged.  We're still not sure exactly when we're applying, as we still have sponsorship stuff to figure out, but we would like to have all the evidence and documents prepared as we hope to send them in soon.     As we go through the forms and the VJ K-1 checklist, we've been keeping a record of our questions. Would anyone be willing to help us answer a few?     1. Perhaps the trickiest for us is this:  I recently graduated from my undergraduate program in May 2013. Since beginning college in 2009, I have moved to college and then back home every summer, including the summer after I graduated. My jobs have also switched as I move to college and back home.  I know we're supposed to extremely thorough; but do I have to put a change in address each time I moved back to college and then back home? Or could I just put my home address, and how long we've lived there, and then my college address, even if the dates over lap?  OR since I was technically living at home the entire time (claimed as a dependent)  should I forgo putting down my college address at all? (sorry that was a complicated question)   You need to write all adress where you have lived the last 5 years, so you need your college adress too.           Along with that; I had steady work on campus during the time school was in session, but a regular summer job back home when classes were out.  Do I need to put each time I stopped one job and started another? In the g-325 form they ask for all jods in the last 5 years too, so you type your jobs with date on it.     2. Should our dates overlap? For example, if I moved to graduate school mid-August, should I put that I lived at home in August  and then again, that I lived on campus for August as well? (gah, these are simply maddening to me. I had no idea my life would be so complicated  )  for papers is better put your home adress.   3.  When my fiance was in graduate school, he did not have a job. Should we simple put he was unemployed for that time period or should we put that he was  a "student" and then give the address of the graduate school?   4.  Okay, I've heard horror stories of people getting RFE's for the blank spaced on a form. For example, if you put N/A instead of none and get all the forms sent back.  Does this actually happen? For example, neither my fiance nor myself have been married before, nor do we have children, so in all the spaces where one can provide information about prior spouses and children, should we just put None at the top of the section and move on, or do we need to put None in each space. Same question about things like middle names. My fiance doesn't have a middle name, so should I just put N/A? Nor does he have a SSN, but it won't let us type in the form "None," so can we leave that blank? Dont leave blank space, write n/a or none.   6.  If I am a USC by birth do I need to submit a "Certificate of Citizenship?" I assume that is for those who have been naturalized already? Or just my birth certificate?  You can submit your birth certificate or copy of your passport.   7. For my parents, do I need to include the state in which they were born, and if so, is it okay to abbreviate it?  The form just says "city and country" but I wanted to be sure. Yes you can abbreviate correctelly.      Thank you all SO much for putting up with these questions. I know there are sample forms and wonderful instructions on VJ, but I wasn't sure there would be answers to these specific questions. Thank you for helping this newbie out.  We don't know what we'd do without VJ to get us through this process.   Happy New Year!!!   Megan and Tee I answer some of your questions, I hope that help. And welcome to this process and be patient, this is a little steessful process if think a lot	Ilovemyman	Female	Dominican Republic	2014-01-02 06:43:00
