K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat's with the Filipinos?
First off, I'm not trying to be offensive here - just curious.

Why are there so many K1 petitions for Filipino's ....tons more than any other country - even more than Canada or Mexico! I mean is this some kinda mail order bride situation? Something just seems kinda shaddy here.

Anybody with me?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Paperwork for interview
Hello,

I am getting close to my NOA2 date (well, hopefully) and I had some questions on the documents I will need to bring to the interview.

Here's what I have so far:

1. Long form Certified birth certificate (actually just a photocopy and fancy paper with a Canadian gov. seal) - will this be ok?

2. Police Clearence letter

3. I-134 , DS-156, DS-156K, DS-230 all done

4. I have supporting evidence

Really, the only thing I think I have to do is get the noa2 and get the medical done....or am I sadly mistaken?

Hello,

I recently sent away for the long form version of my BC and got a certified photocopy from the province. Is this good enough for my interview?

Thanks!

The AP will work.


OK great! So, this would be a valid reason for AP? It doesn't have to be an emergency, death ect...?

Hello,

We are of course planning on getting married shortly after my arrival in the US on a K1 visa, but we are having a ceremonial wedding in the Dominican in June 2010. It's my understanding the after getting married legally in the US I can apply for AOS and Advance Parole. Will receiving the AP document allow me to travel to the Dominican or do I have to pray I get my GC in time?

Thanks for you help!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCanada to USA HELP!
Wow a lot of questions....

What paperwork and/or forms are involved (estimate of total cost) and how long will it take to finalize?

A: If you aren't married file for a K1 visa. If you decide to marry before obtaining a visa, file for K3, I/CR1. Costs vary....not cheap.

Is this possible under our circumstances and if we need a lawyer?

A: No, your case is fairly common. Guess take your time and read the guides on this site.

Can we do it on our own?

A: Yes. See above

The best advice is to read the guides and get an idea of what youre up against.

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlease help RFE problem...doesn't have the 2 year meeting requirement for a K! visa
The rules are there for a reason and unfortunately you didn't meet the requirements. When you are dealing with the government you can't expect them to give you a break or bend the rules for certain individuals. The process is black and white - but you were grey. Everyone's situation is unique but the path we go down is the same. Dont waste your money on a lawyer - get on a plane and visit your girl and reapply.

If your are planning to get married in Peru then you wouldnt be able to apply for a K1. If you are married I dont believe proof of relationship is needed because you are married. Im a little confused with your question but a spousal visa seems to be what you should go for.

Maybe reading everything would help? We are not married. I've explained this in another reply. Besides that that is not the point, that's not the "problem" I have.

But will they send you an RFE if they lose it??


If they loose something they'll send you an RFE because they'll assume you forgot to send it. There not going to assume you send in a perfect petition and they messed up. No point in worrying about it. If you've mailed it out already, there's nothing you can do but wait.

It says "2 or more in the past" meaning that if this was your third petition you'd require a waiver. Seeing as it is your second you're fine - no waiver. If you DID need a waiver it would say, "if you have filed a petition in the past" and make no mention of a number.

It ALSO says "... or previously had a K-1 visa petition approved within two years prior to the filing of this petition, you must apply for a waiver."

Their application wasn't approved. Thanks for comin' out though...no offense.

Where are you getting that? The OP said "he didn't go get his visa," which would strongly suggest that the I-129F was approved and that this "cancellation" took place at the consulate stage.

If in fact the OP withdrew the I-129F petition at the service center stage prior to approval, then you would certainly be right. But the OP was vague and there are no follow-ups to clarify it.

EDIT: The I-129F was approved; she cancelled it at the consular stage. http://www.visajourn...h...t&p=3099329

But "thanks for comin' out though..."

You have to sit back and wait for your approval now. Probably about 3 months. In the mean time you can continue to collect evidence of an ongoing relationship. There isn't really a point in doing anything paperwork wise for a couple months.

Good luck
