K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTracking Package on DHL
Hi everyone,

We are really praying for you all to have quick and easy NOA2s...I know a ton will be coming in the next week!!

So for those of you who have already gotten your NOA2 and been tracking it...I read the description above on how to do it through DHL, but don't understand at all...

What exactly do we type in for the Reference number? Do we need to get that from the NVC?

Any explanation on this would be great!

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1/DV Approvedsame day...But I and J want DV.God Granted it.

Interview Experience.........I was scheduled for K1 interview 18th and Dv on the 19th just the next day to my K1. But i was at the embassy with the  both two document.i waited till they call me in for 7am.

 

    I saw this  lady working at the gate with the security which i thought i should ask for advice.I finally asked her (ma,please i just want to ask you if you could advice me,because i have another interview tomorrow which i think i might have to leave my passport once the k1 is approved,she just wow,only you and i smile at her and she advice i should tell the co who will interview me when i get inside.

 

 Waiting continue till i get to the interview section sitting down waiting for my name to be called.I heard my name called which i walked to the window.I met another black lady which ask for my int passport,two photograph,police certificate and medical result and my DS forms.

 

 Thereafter i saw this lady i spoke with earlier just at the back of the lady at the window i was waiting.I heard her telling the lady that this is the guy i told u that has two interview scheduled both smile at me and tell me to wait.Then they call there supervisor(Black)while she say to me congratulation and ask if i have the documents for my Dv with me as well,which i said Yes,But i have the 330$ with my brother waiting for me outside the embassy(car park).she gave me a small sheet of paper to go get it and told me to pay to window 21 when am back and after paying i should sit for my  number to be called again.

 

 I keep waiting while i look at K1 applicant doing interview,i see this old white man denied most k1 but there was this other white lady giving both k1 and Dv.I just keep praying silently.My number was called again around 10.30 am by this old white man.i just keep on my  faith because i don't know which interview i will have to do since they are keeping the two application(K1 and DV).

 

 The CO  told me to raised up my right hand and do the oats which i did.Questions asked by the CO

whats Ur highest level of education?answered

have you ever been teaching before?answered

did your fiancee knew about this DV?i told him we do everything together so he smiles

what do you do for work?answered 

have u ever traveled out of Nigeria before?Yes

so finally he asked which one do you prefer from the two?i told him me and my fiancee prefer the Dv

he asked why?i just told him because will we have time to plan for our wedding and save the money to file for GC if i had the k1,instead for our wedding.

He show a very big smile and said congrats you are approved for Dv and he gave me a white ###### to pick my visa up next Monday.

 

 Thanks to all vjs family u r all awesome.Big thanks to God almighty.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-134

I was wondering what everyone entered on the I-134 for question 11.. I mean really what is a correct answer for a fiance Visa.. "till death do us part" ???

Also I know this is a dumb question but when you sent the first packet (I-129f)  off (just starting the process) do you send originals or copies?

What needs to be original and what needs to be copies?

 

 

11.
I
intend
(If you check "intend," indicate the exact nature and duration of the contributions. For example, if you intend to furnish room and board, state for
how long and, if money, state the amount in U.S. dollars and whether it is to be given in a lump sum, weekly or monthly, and for how long.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPhoto requirements for K-1

there are not hotel, shopping or food receipts.. its cuba.. american's aren't allowed to spend money.. I also stayed with him on my visits but the first one which was with friends in a family house.. when we went out he paid and they never gave reciepts because he knew everyone.. we never had a bill. No credit card usuage for americans either..

Only passport stamps, I do not have all boarding passes because they usually take them or they dont have dates on the stub but I have reservation emails. I think stamps would be fine without plane tickets because its a stamp in my passport with dates and the country..

just worried about lack of photos.


pepper44Not TellingCuba2014-04-21 22:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPhoto requirements for K-1

I was wondering if anyone could share how many photos they submitted when they sent in their I-129f packet?

 

Reason I ask is because we do not have alot of photos to put inthe packet. Actually we might have a total of 8. Due to religious reasons photos are not to be taken for a year.

August will be a year but I'd rather not wait till then to go back and visit just to take some photos..

 

Any thoughts... suggestions? If I explained this in a letter with the photo's I do have would that be ok? I have passport stamps, emails, phone logs, text logs, and plane tickets.. so lack of a ton of photos but only a few .. what do you all think?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 Visa Rejection....

I wanted to chime in and let everyone know what type of people are working at these places processing our petitions. I've been looking for work and had applied for an open position in VA that processes these claims- Texas sends some of them to other locations just an FYI.

They only pay these people 14.88 an hour and do not require any background education but a HS diploma. So we are probably dealing with teenagers or early 20 year olds who will work for such pay.. I've worked in an enviroment like this before when I was 18 and all we did was good off at work..

It's horrible these people have our lives in their hands and as for an alternative.. I am out of luck in that dept because my Fiancee is Cuban and it's practically impossible to get them OUT of Cuban to begin with. He was already denied a visitor visa this year.

 

All I can say is keep calm and send them what they want.. A k-1 can take a year it all depends on what you provided in the original packet.

Good Luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsrequest for expedite. ..past success? recent requests?

what is the request for? As far as I know they do not grant expedited requests for cuba. I could be wrong but Ive never heard of others requesting it. It is funny how there are other countries that are allowed to have expedited requests and they go through rather quickly but Cuba a country known for its horrible gov't mistreating their people they do not offer an expedite request.. stupid if you ask me.

 

If they do offer expedited requests what does it have to be based on?? I hope someone else can chime in and give you clarity.

Good Luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsShould I be worried? Whats app conversations

Someone posted something similar to this a few weeks ago. They called each other husband and wife and they were asked to send in more documents to prove they were not yet married. I don't know the exact documents that were requested or if they had friends and family sign something stating they were not married.

 

I would try to leave that conversation out of the packet if it was already sent and it was just one sentence then I wouldn't worry about it too much. If they ask then just be honest and tell them you call each other that because you are in your heart already married.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A Forms

I have the same question.. filling out the I-129 form it states for the Cuban City/Town, then State then postal code and province and then last country.

How would this get filled out for someone that states municipio - plaza de la revolucian, provincia - cuidad de la hababa massulisco (not sure that is spelled correctly hard to read the certificate).

But as for his current address I have no idea how to fill that out on the form? He lives in Marianao so would that be his city/town then i would put la habana as the province and cuba of course as the country and forget the postal code and state?

 


pepper44Not TellingCuba2014-03-22 13:03:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresRFE on I-130

When you submitted your original packet did you include, photos? Photos showing the marriage? Did you include emails, phone logs, texts, or skype chats? Did you include the marriage certificate as well? These are the only things I can think of that they could be asking for beside proof you two have met in person with plane tickets, passport stamps??


pepper44Not TellingCuba2014-04-26 13:29:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow much evidence is enough for CR-1?

Zetete-

does your fiancee speak english? Just curious because mine only know a little.

Anyways with what you are saying I think it will be more than enough when you file the CR-1. Receipts, photos, flight tickets, wedding photos, family and friends as well as chats, text and emails prior to the wedding (since you won't have any during the 3 months together)! :-)

 

You can always write a breif letter explaining how and when you met and your story..

As for the K-1 as someone else stated no reason to go into details because they will see it on their end.

Then realize they made a mistake!!

 

Godd luck!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresArrested and 5 months in Jail after filing now at NVC...who do you tell?

I would say yes since it was a criminal offense. He will probably have to submit the papers as well showing his charges and the outcome of them.

Do DUI charges affect a petition? Could it be denied if the petitioner has 3 DUI's?

Is he now a felon?

A 3rd DUI is a felony in most states. He is now not eligible to visit most countries.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSUPER Confused.. 160 vs 260

Question in reference to this document. Since this is all new to me.. My fiancee who is Cuban is the one who would fill this out correct? Once NVC approves the application of course.

Also in the state site it still confuses me it states immigrants fill out the 160 but non immigrants fill out the other 260.

I know it states across the board the 160 but does that mean immigrant and non immigrant?

I would have called the offices today but they were closed due to weather.

Thanks VJ friends for any help

I have a question in reference to sponser. what if I am unemployeed but I can find a co- sponser. When using the income poverty chart do I add a person since I am using a second person?

Another question would be if I have equity in my home and a 401k can I use that information without adding a sponser?

how can someone find out of a country accepts co sponsers or not? I thought they all did since it is on the application?

Is cuba one? I might need to get a co sponser if I do not find a job soon. I have made well over the poverty level this year and previous years however unemployement income will not count as income. haha but no in all seriousness I havent filed yet because I am looking for work. I knew I should have filed this past summer but then I would still be in the same boat if not more screwed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNo Year on Airline Ticket/Boarding Pass!

ditto what janice said.. you can use the passport stamps to show the matching date as well as the email confirmation from the airline that was sent to you. If you don't have it saved (example orbitz saves your trips for 2 years I believe) then call the airline you booked with see if they can send you something.

My boarding passes dont have the year either so I didn't keep them I am going to use my passport stamps along with the airline emails showing my flight dates which will match the passport stamp dates.

Good Luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI129F Possible Mistake Awaiting Possible RFE!!!!!!!!!

If you send in divorce papers do you also still have to send in a letter stating you are single and elegible to marry? I read for Cuba this document is required but if someone sends in the divorce papers would this other document still need to be sent in as well?

I would think even if you send divorce papers for the second you would also need to send the first in as well.. some people tend to get married when they are still married to the first husband/wife.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmisdemeanor -129F

I think you also need to make sure when you get a copy from the courthouse their stamp is on it. I have a DUI conviction and what I have is a copy of the arrest record notes from the police officer, I also have the court outcome with all the fee's that were applied and showing paid. I think that also needs to be provided but double check that part. I also sent in a letter explaing the conviction and the outcome- fee's what I was charged with my probation and all that good stuff.

Shouldn't be a problem if you tell the truth and provide all the documents for the charges.
