PhilippinesLeaving USA after arrival using K1
Hello all,

I have a family reunion cruise in USA sometime in June or July that requires a passport.
If everything goes to plan, my fiance will be here sometime in February.
I believe she needs to have her green card before she can leave the country and be able to return. If this is the case, how long will it take to get her green card after the marriage?

Thanks for reading,

-Charlie

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew Job~ (I-134 Affidavit of Support)
I think I found what I was looking for here:
http://manila.usemba...v/wwwh3238.html

Can you look at the bottom links and tell me if I can disregard the IV (Immigration Visa) instructions?

I'm pretty sure I have to follow the K1 Interview Preparation Instructions.
I am filling for K1 visa as well.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew Job~ (I-134 Affidavit of Support)
Hello everyone,

I recently accepted a new job and start Oct 13, 2009.
I also recently received our NOA2 approved on Sept. 29, 2009.
I am going to visit my fiance Oct 16-25, 2009.

Getting the NOA2 early was a pleasant surprise, but I'm not sure of what I should do about the I-134.
Should I just ignore the job that I am at today and fill everything out with my new job?
OR, should I just fill out the form now with my current job and ignore the new job?

Is there some way that I should include both jobs?

My main issue is that I was hoping to have all the forms together to bring with me so there is no risk of using the postal system.

Also, what exactly is in packages 3 and 4 that the Embassy will send my fiance? I want to make sure I help her with those forms while I am there.

Thanks so much VJ~

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about NVC for those who were processed VSC recently...
I received my email on 9/29 and just got the hard copy yesterday, 10/5. I live in the DC area. I guess you can expect your hard copy today.

I'd like to know about NVC as well.. I tried calling the number and all I got were busy tones.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLittle confused...early approval of I-129F?
Wow.. I am so amazed!!! I just got the email too!
I can't wait until my baby wakes up so I can tell her the good news!

Does anyone know on the top of their head how much longer until we get the visa?
I'll start researching now...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow up to date are required for the K1 interview?

Have her get a couple NSO BCs. She may need them later in the US.
Do you have your tax transcripts and the I-134?


Yes, I included 2008 taxes and W-2's. The I-134 is dated 10-11-09.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow up to date are required for the K1 interview?
Hello everyone,

After getting the NOA2, I promptly started working on getting the forms and evidence required for my fiance's interview. The dates are below:

I-129F NOA2 : 2009-09-29
NVC Received : 2009-10-16
NVC Left : 2009-10-19

The USE in Manila should of received the packet by now, but my fiance has not received anything from them yet. I am assuming that the interview will be sometime in December.

With that, I prepared all the forms for her before my trip there last week. So the forms, proof of income, and phone bills are all dated up to 10/15/09.
My fiance is now getting the CENOMAR, Birth Certificate, NBI and Passport now.

If the interview is in December, then would any of these be too old?


Thanks for any input,

-Charlie
