IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGreen Card Fraud
I doubt it can be revoked but with the pending case you filed, it sure will be practically impossible for her to apply for and successfully get her 10 year GC without u. She messed up big time and karma is a coming...

Run, dont walk. You might also wanna send a follow-up notarized letter to ICE to verify what you have already submitted.

Sorry u have to deal with this but it'll be over soon

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan we slow the process down? >.<

Since finances are an issue at this step of your process, I'd also point out that once you are approved, and have those 6 months to enter the US and 90 days to get married, you must take into consideration the AOS fees that come right after marriage, which are a little over US$ 1.000 so prepare for that as well.


more like $1365 or so :wacko:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOk, question

oh ok, was looking at the transcripts and obviously didn't work out the right one i need, so a tax return transcript. What sort of things do they ask when ordering the tax transcript? Cause not me getting them, my co-sponsor n wants to know. And then how do you get them to fax to you in stead of sending it?

and then getting that, i need the one for the 1040 right?


:huh: ok. lets try this again, u need the tax transcript. the questions/options are on the form; please take a look at it. to get them to fax it, again on the form, you can either fax them a copy requestin a fax back, or better yet call them when you are near a fax and have them fax while you are still on the phone.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOk, question

so they def need a letter form bank, even tho they aren't using any assets as their employment alone is enough?


Please read form instructions... form I-864 states that assets are optional, thus a letter from the bank would most likely only be needed if you income is not sufficient

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCustomer Service for USCIS

Hello, im new to this site but have been reading up on most of the forums especially for the K1 fiance visa. I just want to say that the customer service people at USCIS are no help. I've called several times and all they do is give me different answers and I feel as if I'm being rushed off the phone and just give me answers just to get me off. I even had a lady cut me off everyday I said something and then just said thank you for calling have a great day and hung up without letting me finish asking questions. How rude is that. I've never got a concrete answer from customer service so I need clarification from anyone out there who would like to help me out. My question is how long does it usually take for a approved petition to get from USCIS in California to the National Visa Center? I've been told it could take up to 6 to 8 weeks to get to National Visa Center. Then I was told it only took a few days to a week. Then I called National Visa Center. They said it could take up to 90 days for them to receive it. Looking at the time lines for most of the people on here, it only took a few days to a week from USCIS to National Visa Center. If its taken more than 2 weeks and even a month, what are possibilities that they haven't sent it yet to National Visa Center or what could be reasons for the hold up. Sorry If im just ranting, but it just gets frustrating when you call and ask for help and all they do is brush you off and get you off the phone as soon as they can. Customer service there sucks. Thank you. Any clarity would be appreciated.

Lucky u, i cant even get in touch with a live person to talk to.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F sent 1 month ago, Fiancee changed her mind

Please forgive me for saying so, but shouldn't the couple have already decided if this is the person they want to spend the rest of your life with BEFORE filing for K1 or any other visa? I'm just saying!! The 90 day requirement is not a test period for trying out the relationship.(WARNING THIS IS NOT A TEST DRIVE) You have signed legal and binding documents together and state that you intend to marry your fiancé within that time period. The relationship should have already been established and solidified with spending as much time as possible together. I do understand that things sometimes just don't work out with ppl and the logistics of these relationships is very difficult to overcome for some. But logistics aside a person should be absolutely true to themselves and have love for themselves. If they do not then they will never be able to give truth and love to ANYONE.

TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE these are words to live by.

To anyone new to looking for foreign wife/husband write some letters get to know as much as you can through skype and email and then first chance you get JUMP ON A PLANE AND GO MEET THIS PERSON and spend as much time as humanly possible with them in person. Don't feel rushed to do anything, your hearts will only get broken for jumping blindly into the fire of matrimony.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG325 mistake

I submitted my G325 and was approved and now will wait for interview, however I noticed that the G325 employer address and date does not match the police certificate (Vietnam). It is in the same city at least. I am wondering should I do a new G325 or just wait for them to ask me when I go into the interview. I do not want to have my visa postponed any longer. The interview will be in a little over a month.

Please help!

Thank you

I'd say that you should bring an updated copy to the interview and let them know you made a small error... I dont think they expect uus to be perfect in everything we do... It'll be ok

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp for a Friend

1. Can she marry her boyfriend on a tourist visa? Is it advisable to do this or what is the best thing for her to do? It is illegal and fraudalent for her to knowingly entering the country on a tourist visa with the intent to marry and apply for permanent residency. She could however go the K1- fiance route or the IR1/CR1 spousal visa route to legally apply to migrate


2.She has 2 kids in the Philippines and the eldest is 19 unmarried.what kind of petition do they need to file to get her kids over here?Going the fiance or spousal route could allow for her to bring her children with her if the bf petitions for them. Im not too verse on children processes though.


3. She thought that once she gets here on a tourist visa she will get the green card right after she married the guy? is it true? or does she still need to apply for her adjustment of status to get a green card?Once again, its fraud to enter with the intention or getting married while on such a visa. With that said, you dont just come and marry and the greencard is given to you just cause. You have to be eligible to Adjust status and successfully do so to get a greencard. Hope that helps


I would appreciate any help for my friend. Thank u very much.

Me, show off? Never! content.gif

 

Thanksgiving was good, spent 6 hours cooking, and then stuffing myself afterwards. My 3 year old loves to help.

I went to walmart around 4pm, and, it was just one big clusterf**k. I hate that place. I walked in, saw everyone hovering around everything like vultures, and walked right out. I went to the Christmas isle to look at decorations, and all the people lined up were giving me the stink eye, as if I was trying to cut in line. Thank goodness for online shopping lol I don't do black Friday. 

 

lol I hadn't planned on cooking because I came back to DE from MI the day before.  But then my BFFs husband and I were going *coincidentally* to Walmart at 5 so we decided to just cook so we can hang out before.

 

Im sorry your store was such a mess protest6wz.gif  Ours was calm enough for hubby, my bffs hubby and I to get 21 out of 23 items and be out in an hour between 5-6:30.  We went back to my house and had dessert and watched movies.  Got my last item online

 

Oddly enough, a lot of people missed dinner for shopping but we made sure we cooked early enough to eat... Glad you did the same

Was that routine service? That's pretty awesome! I got mine a couple hours later, after my appointment.

 

Our thread is so dead now, boo! How was your Thanksgiving, woman? 

 

Yes it was... show off lol

 

Thanksgiving was good. Cooked and had my BFF and her family over at the last minute, ate by 5 and went shopping. Was in and out of walmart in less than an hour. Got back home by 7p to serve dessert and watch movies. heart.gif

 

How was urs?

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 June 2013 Filers

how long did your oath ceremony last at philly? 

we made an appointment for a passport and wondering if 3 hours is enough, because it's about 4 miles away

 

I didnt attend the oath in philly due to me going on vacation. Instead, it was held in Wilmington DE. 

 

I'll tell you what I experienced nonetheless.  Honestly, it lasted about 3-3 31/2 due to the fact that there was an actual program preceeded by each person, individually having to go and sign their certificate.  And during the program (singing, dialoques, etc) each person was again presented with the offical "welcome to america" packet so it took a while.


besaangelFemaleJamaica2013-11-18 21:36:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 June 2013 Filers

Oath was fine, it was just... meh. I wasn't all emotional or hyped about becoming a US citizen, like other people. I also have a bad cold, so I feel like #######. I literally sat down and wished for it to be super short and simple, and it was. So happy it's over and done with now, though. Good luck with your clinical! I am traveling out of the country on Wednesday, picking my passport up on Monday. I don't think they keep the certificate for same day service, and I sure hope they don't staple it! 

 

Oh goody... lol @ the certificate.


besaangelFemaleJamaica2013-11-17 12:21:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 June 2013 Filers

They took mine too and also stapled it! This is such an important document to have two holes now!

I don't have any plans to travel soon, that's why I applied for routine service.

 

"When applying for a U.S. passport in person, evidence of U.S. citizenship must be submitted with Form DS-11. All documentation submitted as citizenship evidence will be returned to you. These documents will be delivered with your newly issued U.S. passport or in a separate mailing."

 

I get that but did ya have to staple it; now Im dreading rips and tears lol

 

"Bring a photocopy of the front and back of each ID document that you will present when you apply."

 

And this crockery cuz we technically arent supposed to copy our naturalization certs

Looks like it took 3 month for an Oath?did you change your name ?why it took so long?



 

Hi. My situation was such that we actually live in Delaware but since we dont have an Interview office, I had my interview in Philly. They offered an oath 3 days later but since hubby & I were leaving for vacation on said day, I had to decline crying.gif.  Well then since DE is soooo small, I literally had to wait until they had 50+ people for the oath to be scheduled waiting.gif
