K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEmailed Kingston Embassy last week

I have my NVC case number . . . how do I get the tracking number and track it? Thanks.




1. There is no tracking number for a K1 thru NVC. The K1 only passes thru NVC.
2. Try sending another email with 2nd or 3rd request in the subject line.
3. If the embassy received it lated August, you should be getting an interview date sometime this week.
4. You don't need to wait on the embassy to follow thru on waht else is needed to complete the process,i.e PC, 156 form, 134 form all of this can be gotten on -line.

He really should try to get any job for right now that could show that he has the capability to mak the $18,920.00 yearly for two.

Your assests can not be added to his income, either you have enough assest to cover it along or not in this case you don't because the house is a joint ownership. Until it is sold you can not claim that you will have easy access to the money. Your bank statement would have to be 5 X the $18,920.00 = $94,600.00.

First look at the requirements from your insurance they may not cover immuzations for travel or immigration purpose.
Second the civil surgeon probably isn't covered in your network of doctors.

The issue would be you need to prove you are unable to travel at all. You can travel short distance in periods of time to make up gfor the long distance.

Such as example, the Queen Mary Cruise ship travels to many points in Europe, the other party maybe able to travel to a mi point to reach you.

You much prove that this possibility can not happen.

As I stated in my other post immigration will have a hard time in believing that this relationship is a true relationship due to the fact that a child was born in the middle of it and that child is not yours.

Therefore you'll are going to have to explain this to immigration, and they will investigate all that will be stated.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo they always check father's DNA?
Good morning,

To answer your question can/should you falsely add your name as the father to the child's birth paper. NO, do not falsely add your name to this child's papers. You do not need to falsifed records if the indicent was reported as a rape. The courts can terminate the fathers rights if the mother request it so based on the fact that this birth was of the result of a rape.

I am only stating rape because this was how you describe the incident.

I a going to re-post a statemet you made just last week;

"The other consideration is to have the baby, but the baby would never come to the U.S. with us and would essentially grow up with my fiance's mother and we would financially support it. This is all sounds absurd, but this is the bind we are in. I made it clear to here she can do whatever she feels is best for her, but there's no way I am taking that baby into my direct care, ever. "

Base on this statement you are not truly ready to take on the responsible for this child, I hope that both you and the mother can get some counseling and with this counseling you can have a true heart felt change to care for this innoncent human being.

Yes, I do understand that this is a truly hard place you are finding yourself in right now, but please move carefully.


This pregnancy will be a big red-flag in your case, you'll will have to answer questions surrounding this at the interview.

Be bless in all of your decisions. (F)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs 100% enough for I-134

I am applying for a K1 visa but my fiance's father who is going to sponsor me is only just above the 100% Poverty Guideline level. His wife can co-sponsor but there is no mechanism for putting their incomes together as far as I can see. I am worried that because he cannot reach the 125% required for change of status once I am married that this may be an issue at my interview. Do I need to be concerned or is 100% enough. By the way the 100% comes from the travel.state.gov website-see below

Do the Same Income Requirements Apply to Form I-134 as Apply to Form I-864?
No. The 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline minimum income requirement, the most recent year's tax return, and other requirements only apply when Form I-864 is needed. Applicants presenting Form I-134 will need to show that their U.S. sponsor's income is 100 percent of the federal poverty guideline.



It's 125% unless they are military employed.

Okay Folks, for those who wish to question the why,

1. Every page in the passport has a different watermark and the pages are numbered, if there is a missing page it can be identified. If you are trying to hide something it can be identified.

2. Asking for all pages, is not a lesson in killing trees, but a lesson in Homeland security.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExpedite K-1 Visa based on severe stress\depression

My fiancee has been showing signs of stress and depression. She hasn't seen a doctor yet but I will convince her to go soon. I was just wondering if it is possible to expedite the visa process if the doctor discovers she is becoming depressed.

I believe she is dealing with a lot of stress because of all her responsibilities at home and the poor conditions that she lives in.

I believe because of this stress she could be developing depression. If that is the case I foresee extreme hardships on our relationship. I support her financially but if she develops a mental illness such a depression I think it would be hard to pay for those medical costs. But if she was here it would be much easier for me to care for her. I have medical insurance and when we are married it can cover her as well. So I was just wondering what is required to expedite the visa process?

If it matters, I'm from the USA and she is from the Philippines.

Thank you



Is this a new condition in her life, or has her living environment always been in this condition? What makes today in her life any different than what her environment was a couple of months, weeks ago?

Read the OP. They want to get the K1 visa, get married, then use their AP (once approved and received) to travel to the beneficiary's country to get married again in a church. Nobody is talking about getting married before the K1.



Telling them what they should have done doesn't entirely help the situation now.

They've already filed for the K1, so they might as well see it through. Their plan will work, it just won't be nearly as fast as they want it to be.



My advise and opinion is for the OP, if you don't like it, than don't read it. The next time you post I will make sure that I do not offer you any advise or opinion. I am not a child to be told how to respond.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI need all the help i can get. thank you!

Hi Everyone, my fiance and I got engaged 4 months ago. He already filed for a k-1 visa on the 30th of October. Our plan is to get married in my country (not the U.S.) for many reasons. So once we get the visa (praying everything goes as planned), i will head over to the States, get married in court, file for all things necessary to be filed (SSN, Advanced Parole, AOS, etc) and then finish the wedding preps. Once we get approved for advanced parole, we will head back to my country and have the church wedding and honeymoon there. So, my question is, is this even possible and do we have enough time to do all this before we do the interview for the adjusment of status? we wanna be married in church before that. How long does it usually take to get the interview date for AOS from the time of filing. and is there a chance that advanced parole will get approved AFTER AOS interview? I'm a newbie here so I need all the help i can get. thanks a lot : )




If you really must have the church wedding before you feel married, han you'll should have proceeded as followa;

Had the church wedding in your country, than filed a CR1 for a spouse visa.

Filing the K1 will not give you'll the time and space to do what you have indicated above in a timely manner or fashion. You won't know when and if you will need an interview for the AOS until the interview letter arrive after filing for AOS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures5 year ban - file for waiver before i129f?
She may have be denied entry, but he stated she received a ban, so just asking for a visa does not give you a 5 yer ban.

Again, everyone is skirting the facts, a ban is no issued unless a law has been violated. Asking for a one day pass is not breaking any immigration laws.

She could have withdrawl her request to enter the US, and turned around and walk right back to the Mexico side of the POE, without a ban being issued. She came up in their computer and hey issued this ban based on what they saw there.

Op I am saying this again, either you don't have all of the facts or she was using someone else ID if your GF has never been in the US before.

Thank you for your helpful response. As with dependents, he doesnt pay child support and doesnt claim taxes from his kids. Will they still be considered as fully dependents or partially?
As of his money in his bank,he just had opened his savings account last June 2012. Can he also adds his checking account?




It doesn't matter what he does or donot do regarding the children, according to the laws in the US he the father will always be considered their full finanical responsibility, unless the courts deemed it otherwise.

I believe that you have been given some soft information regarding this aspect and you are finding it hard to understand that these children will always be his finanical responsibility,

Just be prepare for this going forward in life.


A checking account will not count, becase money in a checking account is used for daily living expenses, so the checking account amount moves on a daily basis.
