K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTranslation for itinerary?

Sorry for the mix-up, I thought it was evidence because in the K1 visa guide it says "Copies of all airline boarding passes, train passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, passport stamps...and other documentary evidence that you have met within the last two years. " Thanks for your help.


Sure, if the itinerary can add something to the primary evidence, it won't hurt. But, I wouldn't bother translating it. If you have primary evidence of the trip, I wouldn't bother including it either though. It adds nothing when there's already primary evidence.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTranslation for itinerary?

One piece of evidence we have is a reservation my fiance made for a hotel here. He made the reservation on a French website so everything is in French. By looking at it you don't need to know French to see it's for a hotel in Miami, FL on November 16th. Everything else that's in French is just a description of the hotel and the websites policies. Do we need a translation for something like this?



An itinerary is not evidence of meeting. Primary evidence of meeting in person would be passport stamps and/or boarding passes. You could also US ATM receipts from in country. Photos are secondary evidence.

I believe you can request them from the IRS and can have them in a couple weeks.


Or the tax return transcripts can be faxed immediately if requested by phone. Again, tax information is about past income. Pay stubs and employer letters are about current income. I strongly advise all to provide either a pay stub or employer letter in addition to at least the most recent tax return.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPassport for the I-129F
QUOTE (Azul @ May 15 2008, 08:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
The directions for the I-129F pedition state: In Place of any of the above, you may give USCIS a copy of your valid, unexpired U.S. passport issued with a validity period of at least five years. You must submit copies of all pages in the passport.

My passport validity period is 10 years, but will expire in February of 2009. Can I still use this as proof of citizenship, or should I track down my birth certificate?


You can use your passport. Some children are issued passports with only five year validity.

Whether for the petition or later, yes it would be a really good idea to obtain a certified copy of your birth certificate from the State in which you were born.

A memory stick or CD are not going to do you any good at the interview when they tell you something is missing. What are you going to do, hand them a CD and tell them it's on there?


The beneficiary needs a paper copy of everything. No electronic media will be accessed by Consular officers. Too risky to the government network. Paper rules the day at interview time. Printing from the PDF scan is just an easy way to make sure everything is in order.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresALRIGHT. HONESTY Please

I'm about to mail out my I-129F petition tomorrow... or actually today since it's 12:34 AM. I'm usually in bed at 11PM... I need answers to this: What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):
1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

SERIOUSLY. How CRUCIAL and IMPORTANT is this? I think it's a suggestion. If it is, TELL ME it is. I know damn well that not everybody has made an ENTIRE copy. I started to do this as I was piecing together my petition... but since I am so thorough, it began to get too overwhelming to focus on basically TWO petitions... I tried to print everything *times* two still, but I found myself needing to focus on my IMPORTANT petition... copies don't seem as important to me. Now... I'm staying up late because I told my fiancee I'd mail out the petition tomorrow. I don't want to let her down. The separation has been very hard and I can't help but think of her pain the most. I need honest answers. Flat out answers. I'm making black and white copies of my forms/passport/birth certificate as we speak. I can't help but think it's overkill. What's the chances of her consulate/embassy requesting an ENTIRE copy of my petition, if it's forwarded to them anyway? I plan to go to the interview with her, and also plan to help her gather things for the interview.

anyway... other than the most important stuff, I have facebook messages, some skype conversation chat logs, excess pictures printed on regular paper... copies of atm receipt, copies of tickets when we visited tourist attractions in her country... I have so much as far as ongoing relationship stuff. As I said, I'm very thorough and if I was to sit here and make copies of EVERYTHING... it just seems like it'd be a total waste. Especially since I read about many people going to interviews with heaps of stuff and the officers don't even look at it. I know it's worth it, for the outcome but FOR REAL... do I need copies of all the ongoing relationship stuff I ALREADY HAVE in my petition? We plan to print a bunch of that stuff anyway, when I'm there because we'll obviously have more saved chat history/pictures/receipts/etc. I am planning on flying to see her as soon as I send this damn petition because I can't stand being away from her anymore. She feels the same too. I'm going to propose to her on this next visit... and we're also having a small ceremony since her family won't be able to see her get married here with me, in the US when she comes. We'll have more evidence then, for her interview.

I know that what I pasted here: What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):
1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

this is a very good suggestion but in the same token it is NOT asked by USCIS. I see a lot of "smart people giving their 2 cents" here very often... I read a lot of posts. If you're gonna just tell me it's "a good idea" then I don't want to hear from you. If you are somebody who has been through this process and didn't make an entire COPY and your process was fine, tell me. If you're somebody who knows a lot about it, did include all of this, yet didn't end up needing it... TELL ME. Just don't pass it as concrete fact if it's not.

Thankyou very much, I'm limited on time

Matt


My suggestion is to focus on one petition, get the stack built and throw away the copies you made. Then, on the way to the post office, stop ad FedEx Office or Office Depot etc and hand them the whole stack. Ask them to scan the entire stack, in order, to a single PDF file, reduce the file size and put it on your thumb drive or burn it to a CD. That way you have a soft (electronic) copy of the whole stack without worries. You can email it to your fiance and upload it to your own computer. If you want to print it, fine. This way, if there are any problems, you'll know exactly what you sent.

You know this for a fact? I love it how experts from half way around the world provide specific answers for a consulate they have no personal knowledge about.

My wife's documents were 8 months old at the time of the interview (dated in October, Interview in May). As for exit, our documents worked more than two years later for exit from Ukraine...

To the OP.... If the consulate has a time limit on the permission document, which if it does it might be one year, then it is best to e-mail them directly (kyivIV@state.gov). Then you know that the answer you get is what it is for that consulate

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1/k2

Hello
I need to ask a question. My fiancée, who lives in the Ukraine, has two kids. One of them is under 16 years of age. In October 2010, we filed documents which her ex-husband signed to allow the children to leave the country. I paid $300 for those documents. Today she talked to her friend who is in the same situation. The friend told her that those documents are not valid anymore; they only valid for 3 months. I really do not want to have to re-file these documents. With processing times in Vermont now over 7 moths I do not know what to do now. Are those documents still valid? Who would have this information?
Thanks Alex.


These documents will need to be current at the time of both the visa interview and exit date from Ukraine. No way around that. They were NOT needed when the petition was filed but I can certainly understand why you would want to obtain them before filing.

So I got this NOID asking me to fill out a form indication I have not ever been convicted of a crime etc. This form actually has a line saying "None apply" so fine I check it and sent it back. But what gives? The original 129 F Part C asks you to check a box if you have ever been convicted of this or that crime but does not have a box for "none" or "not applicable" or "for god sake I am a law abiding citizen". So why I have I gotten this NOID? This makes not sense.

Will


Sounds like you used an old version of the I-129F, as the current one certainly has a place to check a box for "NO". If so, what you got was an RFE, not a notice of intent to deny. Of course, if you fail to respond properly to any RFE, your petition will be denied.

Okay, I am crossing some 'T's and dotting some 'I's and found this interesting tidbit.

Ensure that the supporting documents written in a language other than English are accompanied by an English translation. ---- see link here http://tinyurl.com/ykw6fu down in the lockbox tip area.

I have a variety of receipts along with train and musuem ticket stubs from visiting Ukraine that I was going to use as evidence we met in the last two years along with my boarding passes. Do I need to translate all of these documents? I taped a few of these together on one sheet of paper, if they need to be translated I would guess it would be best to have them on separate pages. If so, I might just remove a few.

Thanks for any information. I was hoping to file tomorrow, this may make me have to wait a few days.


Your passport stamps will suffice as evidence of meeting in person. Extra would be boarding passes. No need to translate receipts or even include any foreign language receipts that don't contain ANY English.

For clarity though, you are not "applying for a K-1". You are the US Citizen, filing an I-129F petition for fiancee. This is an important distinction, as once your "petition" is approved, it is your foreign fiancee who will THEN be extended the privilege of "applying for" a K-1 visa. Please don't interchange the terms "petition" and "apply" or "application" or "petition" with "visa".

No. If he gets medical and visa at the same time as you, his visa will be good for only 6 months from the date of the medical, just like yours.

Or would the cost just be the same if he'll come with me and we file together for our AOS? Please give me an idea on how to do this thing that can help us spend less at least.


Unless the child is old enough to travel to Manila alone to get their medical, attend the interview and get on the plane alone, following to join will mean an extra trip to the Philippines to assist and travel with the child. That extra expense within a year, may well outweigh any benefit. One option is to delay both interviews until the funds are available to pay the needed expenses.

You ARE wrong. There's only one petition filing fee covering the K1 and K2 beneficiaries but each pays their own visa application fees prior to the interview and pays for their medical exams.

Do you have a wife or a fiancee? It makes all the difference in the world with regard to sponsorship. If it's a fiancee, you must qualify on your own, regardless of the considerations you mention above.



pushbrkMaleChina2011-03-24 07:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressmall income and no co sponsor

You need to consider that first, Manila is a notoriously picky embassy, and second, even with a co-sponsor (which usually has to be a close relative to be accepted) they will likely also judge your financial standing - meaning even if your co-sponsor's income is sufficient, they might question why yours isn't.

The bottom line is that they want to make sure your fiancee will not become a public charge while in the US - and if your income isn't sufficient to prove that for whatever reason (low pay, limited training, high unemployment in your area) they will likely think you can't financially support your fiancee once she arrives. You might want to consider that you (and a co-sponsor, if you choose to take that route) will be required to show sufficient income to provide for you, PLUS your fiancee, PLUS your child - which raises the requirement level even higher. I think you should ask yourself if you feel you can financially provide for those people that will/already depend on you, because they will DEFINITELY be asking you that (and I don't mean that disrespectful in any regards).

You mentioned that 100% of your income is saved - if you have saved a substantial amount, you may be able to offset your low income with assets - but again, that depends on how much you currently make and how much you have stashed away. Just an option.


If it weren't Manila, a lot of what you write above would be meaningful. Unfortunately for the OP, it IS Manila, and although they sometimes will accept a well qualified close relative as a co-sponsor, it's almost always for young adults just about to or who have just graduated from college and have great prospects. I've NEVER seen them accept a cosponsor in a K1 visa case where the need is as a result of nothing more than underemployment or low income.

In a SPOUSE case, they MUST accept a "joint sponsor" and when part of the same household, the you can combine income (and household size) to qualify.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI NEED ADVISE!!!

Whether she's "triggered" anything yet depends on how she entered and how she left. Unless she crossed the border and cleared US immigration each way then the US government has no idea how long she was in the US. She'll need to admit to the unlawful presence in her visa application, and that will be enough to trigger a ban. If she didn't clear immigration when she reentered Mexico then she might need to provide evidence of when she returned so that the date the ban started can be established.


Jim is right, in that it's not as simple as it sounds. Considering the consequences of lying on an immigration form or to an immigration officer can be a lifetime ban, my answers presume the foreigner will tell the truth and can back it up. Telling the truth about illegal presence will trigger a ban. (In this case ten years.) The ban would begin on the day the foreigner can provide evidence they left the USA. That may or may not be the same day they left but evidence of being IN another country is evidence of having left the USA. One need not clear US or any other country's immigration to be in a position to provide evidence of being IN their own or another country. Certainly the ban would start no later than the marriage date as the marriage itself establishes presence outside the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI NEED ADVISE!!!

There are sometimes ways around this, using hardship waivers and while they are very difficult, long and expensive to process, it's not impossible. A lot depends on how she entered the US, how old she was and "about 1 and 1/2 years" isn't exact enough. If it was under 180 days then it's a different story.

Please don't give out vague "bad news" advice without fuller information.


"About a year and a half" is more than a year, triggering a 10 year ban. The trigger is leaving, not coming back in, so calculate the 10 years from the provable departure date. The difficulties involved in most hardship waivers have little to do with how one entered and far more to do with what "severe hardship" to the US Citizen would justify the waiver of the penalty.

Nobody is doing anything to you. What they need is another interview. They want to ask questions, not be sent more documents. Of course, he should take his entire file of documents in case they want to see something. Prior to the interview, he'll want to clearly remember the first interview and make certain there are no contradictory answers or documents. Hopefully, they'll grant the visa but they may just need more information prior to doing more processing. You'll find out after the interview.

You may be correct, but my point to the OP was simply that I was asked for a letter from my fiance's employer, and it wasn't such a wild request that he should just not bother with one.



It is not a wild request at all. However, they are equally happy with pay stubs bearing company name, rate of pay and year to date pay. Best practice is to hand over a complete package all at once. If they see what they need, there's no need to ask for anything more. If they see a current pay stub, they usually WON'T ask for an employer letter at all and will certainly accept the pay stub instead. This is BECAUSE the pay stub is a more reliable indication of both employment and income than an easily forged employer letter is. They KNOW this.
