K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	updating you guys	thank you guys for your replies and thank you for the info, i'll research it some more just want to let you guys know that after all the drama, i recieved me and my older son"s visas today. it was printed yesterday and i picked it up today. See how easy that was. If you're going to USE those visas and leave the prodigal son behind then he can simply follow to join as the his eligibility date is less than a year from your issue date. If you want help, expect to answer questions. People volunteer their time here. Make it easy for those who are helping, not easy on yourself.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-06 00:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	updating you guys	so yesterday was my blue slip interview for my 14 year old son who for whatever reason decided he wanted to test out marijuana. well he got the one year ban. the paper stated he won't be eligible for a visa until june 29 2012.to anyone who has been through this before,when this date comes, how do i go about reopening the case? Not enough information. Did YOU obtain a visa? Which one and when? Did you use a fiancee or spouse visa to enter the USA already?	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-05 14:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	should the passport be really valid for at least 5 years when filing i-129F	The beneficiary's passport has to be at least 6 months before expiration. .

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	should the passport be really valid for at least 5 years when filing i-129F	He was born here in the philippines and he doesnt have certificate of citizenship. So, the only thing he has as for now is his passport as a proof of citizenship. We sure are trying to understand the right instructions to provide the right requirements and to avoid delays. Thank you for the response. If on the day his passport was issued, it was valid for at least five years, it can be used as evidence of citizenship. Provide a copy of all pages and get on with a happy life. As you move forward, read carefully (complete sentences) and interpret literally. The past tense verb, "issued" is what you and others have missed in your reading and interpretation of the instructions.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-06 09:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	should the passport be really valid for at least 5 years when filing i-129F	http://www.uscis.gov...i-129finstr.pdf The instructions state that if you were born outside the US give: a Certificate of Citizenship OR Form FS-240.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	should the passport be really valid for at least 5 years when filing i-129F	i needs to be atleast 6 months still valid after the aproval thy say it also in the Packet though how long it needs to be still valid ~~Jorim This is incorrect.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	should the passport be really valid for at least 5 years when filing i-129F	on the i-129F instruction form no. 3 (What documents do you need to show that you are a u.s citizen) Option D says 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. My fiance (the petitioner) has a valid passport that will expire on Oct. 2012. In my own understanding, i thought that the passport should be valid for at least 5years more as part of the requirement. But I guess I misinterpreted the meaning of the validity period. This was my concern. And with all of the replies I got I came to a conclusion that since his passport is valid still valid and unexpired he can still use this and make a photocopy of it for completing the requirements. Question answered. If it is a 10-year passport, and it is unexpired, you are good. Period. Thank you for all the replies!!! God bless us all!! Note the predicate (verb) of the sentence is "issued" as in issued with. That means that on the date it was issued, it was valid for at least five years. Read carefully (complete sentences) and interpret literally. If you cannot do that, get help from somebody who can. This will not be the only sentence you must read carefully interpret literally. Think in terms of at least a hundred more.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-06 00:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	should the passport be really valid for at least 5 years when filing i-129F	I didn't say it is the instructions. That was just my understanding! So, then do we have your attention. Read carefully and interpret literally. That means you must read and understand every word of a complete sentence. If you cannot do that, then you need somebody who can, to help you. http://www.uscis.gov...i-129finstr.pdf The instructions state that if you were born outside the US give: a Certificate of Citizenship OR Form FS-240. OR... a valid, unexpired US passport with a validity period of LEAST 5 years and submit ALL pages. He'll need to apply for a new one. NO, that's NOT what it says, so NO, he doesn't need a new one. The intructions mean that the passport must be valid for another 5 years. I'm not sure exactly when - but I assume this rule is meant for when you apply. Someone else might know for sure. --- I could be wrong. Bet on it. You ARE wrong.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-06 00:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	should the passport be really valid for at least 5 years when filing i-129F	valid for at least 5 years? and as of what I understand of validity period, it is generally 5 years from the date of issue. therefore his Passport is still valid and unexpired. That is NOT, what the instructions say. Please note that instructions are written in complete sentences. To follow them, you must read carefully and interpret literally. Now, read the instructions again and see if you don't see the error in interpretation. Any U.S. passport is valid for 10 years. Only those of minors an some diplomatic passports are valid for 5 years only. If you are a US citizen over the age of 18, you will have a US passport that's valid for 10 years unless you got mugged while getting a full body oil massage with "happy ending" in Phuket and had to get a temporary passport from the US consulate there to be able to travel back to the United States.

Then, using my dad as co-sponsor, however he need to put my mother and the child as a dependent on their wages, although my mother has her own salary? I know my dad's salary meets the requirement, but my biggest concern was headed whether my mom and the child should be a partially or whole dependents in the I-134F. Many thanks for your time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-134 joint signature	Just one parent completes the I-134. No combining of incomes allowed with the I-134. Mom, Dad, and dependent child makes a household of 3. Add the intending immigrant and that is a household count of 4. An income of $50k satisfies the requirement. To be clear, the person signing the affidavit is asked to complete the sentence, "I derive and annual income of..." Note it says "I", not "We" and answer accordingly. When you supply a tax return, use the complete return including W2 forms, etc. so that the sponsor's past individual income can be clearly verified and a recent pay stub or two to verify their "current income".	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-07 18:27:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	International gay marriages in New York	According to the link I posted above, you aren't required to have a legal civil union, if you are a same-sex couple. You must show that you are in a committed relationship, for at least 12 months prior to applying for a visa to Australia. But, the simple answer is "yes, Australia recognizes same-sex relationships for the purpose of immigration." And my point was that relationships are one thing and marriage is another. I don't know whether Australia will recognize the marriage but clearly they provide an immigration benefit for same sex couples. The two are separate issues.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-08 16:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	International gay marriages in New York	So what you're saying is, if we got married in New York, we'd be able to move back to Australia together (even though she's a US Citizen) because Australia recognises same sex marriages federally? Because Australia provides an immigration benefit for same sex couples, is what was stated. You're the Australian, so you know whether your marriage will be recognized there.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 Visa- How long is the "real" wait? & I-129 F vs. I-130	Hello everyone! I am so excited to have found this website; a community of people willing to share their experiences and advice regarding the complicated, tedious, expensive, and long process of visa/immigration applications. I know the process first hand; being a naturalized American citizen and Mexican native. Here is a summary of my recent history, and newly found interest in all things Dominican. I took a very needed vacation to the Dominican Republic in May 2010. During this vacation I met the man who I now intend to marry. We were inseparable since the moment we met, and we have kept daily contact. I am planning on going back at the end of July in order to spend more time with him and meet his family. We want to be together and we are both certain we are meant to be together. I have been reading different websites and forums and it seems as though the fastest way to get him to the US in order to be together is to file for the fiance visa (K1 I-129 F) rather than marry him first and then file form I-130. Obviously, we want to be together as a couple as soon as possible. Am I correct in that the fastest and easiest way to get him to the US is through the K-1 visa? Or would it be faster if I marry him in the Dominican Republic when I visit him at the end of July and then file I-130 upon my return to the US? So, that is my first question. Now, for my second question, -a question that I am guessing is what everyone wants to know at some point or another of their visa journey- how long, in average, is the "real" wait from the moment of filing the application until a fiance visa is granted? I am fearful because I have read that the Dominican Republic is a "high fraud" country and has a backlog of applications. I would like to have a rough idea or estimate of how long we will have to wait before my fiance is able to come to the US and we can start our life together. It seems to me like the processing times vary greatly from country to country, and even in the same country and consulate, it varies greatly from case to case! I am particularly interested in reading the comments/experiences of people whose fiance(es) are from the Dominican Republic and had to work with the American consulate in Santo Domingo, but all advice is welcome and appreciated! Sincerely, Aztec in love with a Taino. You'll need specific interview delay data for the DR to get the complete picture but not only is K1 "generally" at least a few weeks faster, you must also consider that you can file the I-129F petition now, rather than waiting until you are married. So, add however much time between now and when you could arrange to marry to the normal two weeks. Again, check on current wait times for the interview in the DR, as they vary by country and sometimes by petition type. Something in the back of my head is telling me that one visa type has an extra long wait in the DR. I don't recall which.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-06-28 09:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Citizenship Through Parents- I-129F form	I had a quick question. I am filing the I-129F to bring my Canadian fiance down to the US to get married. I was born in Peru, SA, and received my citizenship through them. I have a Peruvian birth certificate and my American passport (valid since 2005), but I'm not sure how to answer question 10 on the I-129F form. I've clicked that my citizenship was through my parents, but I don't have a certificate number. I did have a Certificate of Birth Abroad at some point, but that was misplaced while in Peru. Not clicking either "yes" or "no" seems like a bad idea. If I click "yes" I won't be able to fill in a certificate number. If I click "no" I'm worried that could have a negative impact on my filing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Tom Check no and indicate N/A where it asks for a certificate number. A CRBA is not the certificate they are asking about. You would then provide a photocopy of all pages of your US passport as evidence of citizenship. You were not required to obtain a certificate of citizenship. That's optional.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-08 10:17:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Question about personal info on emails, chat logs, letters, etc...	I used the term "wife" thousands of times in my chats with the fiance. We never had an issue. The only thing I blocked out were a few account numbers and passwords we've shared. Still not a good idea, particularly for India. No problem blocking out things when it's clear what is being blocked but still no need to include examples that need anything redacted.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Question about personal info on emails, chat logs, letters, etc...	My fiance and I are very close to submitting our I-129F package, we have all of our forms completed and he is in the process of mailing me his signed paperwork from India. I've been gathering evidence of our ongoing relationship and starting printing out emails, chat logs, facebook messages, etc. The first question is, I understand you are allowed to black out personal information with a marker, but how much is too much? I have one email message that I would like to submit because of the date but my fiance mentions a lot of personal info on that email so I had to black out a few sentences. Should that be ok? Also, in some of our messages he refers to me as "wife" purely as an affectionate term. I'm just worried that if USCIS sees this it will arm them with more questions to drill Kirpal with at his interview, or worse make him prove that we are not married! Should I just black out "wife" from our messages to be safe? Thanks! My advice is to avoid using messages that require any redacting or where a fiance is called wife or husband. And then, simply find something else to call each other instead of husband or wife or anything that might confuse ANYBODY about your marital status, no matter how innocent.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-13 13:41:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	unsure of question on I-129F?	hey everyone i just have a quick question im sure its an obvious question but im still very unsure. me and my fiance already filed for our k-1 visa over a mont ago and we already got our noa1 hardcopy. i was going over some of the questions and taking a glance at my copy that i filled out of our I-129F and the questions where it asks about you mother and father like "where was your father born" "when and where was your mother born". i was looking at those and i dont speak to my father or see hm so i had to ask my mother where he was born. she was unsure but she told me to put down what she though. me and my family are all from canada and my mother told me to put down vancouver, which i did, but she nor i was 100% sure. now, im pretty sure a question like that wont effect the visa, but i dont know this for sure. i also when listing down my past jobs had to try my best in my head to say when i started and left the jobs ( i have a record in the past from going to job to job and only staying for about a month or so at each and had very lttle paperwork of when i started and when i had quit). so i had to rough it out on those questions aswelll just for the when i started and when i quit. the answers i gave in my I-129F about my fathers unsure birthplace and my being unsure about when i started and quit a job but tried the best in my head to remember. WOULD THIS EFFECT THE K-1 APPROVAL? everythng else i answered on the I-129f i know is a 100% correct. i was just asking a queston like this because i know everything has to be perfect on these documents.. (i hope i made sense in my question, and added enough detail, i had a little but of a hard time explaining this) This should not be an issue but the questions about your father were on the G325a form, not the I-129F.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-16 12:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Expedite request denied, background check under way	Not to be negitive but you are aware there is No Expungement when it comes to USCIS. Small correction. Expunged is what it is but it doesn't hide the record from USCIS. I'm not at all certain USCIS will become aware the record was otherwise expunged but it really doesn't matter.

However, two of these three have now been expunged, which USCIS will discover during the background check. So, will my arrests on misdemeanor marijuana possession charges potentially cause a petition rejection, in your opinion?

My fiancee is from Mexico so I will certainly get rid of NSW and put the complete name of the state. I will also answer question 18 as best I can in the space provided and put see attached at the end. No sure why put the country in all CAPS, but I will do it. Also the attachment for question 18.... VJ says.. Declaration of how you met in person in the last two years. This should be a single typed page attachment regarding question 18 of the I-129F. Make sure to sign and date it. What is the best way to format the attached sheet? Should this just be a brief story of how you met and are still in a relationship? The attachment related to 18 would be a "letter". I would make it an evolution of relationship letter but keep it brief. You can cover the actual answer to 18 in the space provided. How, when and where you became acquainted, then dates and place(s) of in person meeting(s). Simple stuff. Make it match the primary evidence you're sending.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-17 09:16:00

I know many people have done the VJ forms as presented and have had no problems, but do you think this is best case scenario... On this one, I would spell out New South Wales because it fits. Don't abbreviate foreign provinces. The biggest thing of concern is item 18. If you want to say "see attachment" as the last two words after answering the question briefly, OK but DO NOT fail to answer the question on the form itself. Attachments get lost. Wherever possible, I would do countries in all CAPS. Edited by pushbrk, 17 August 2011 - 12:27 AM.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-17 00:26:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Called USCIS for Assistence and they gave interesting answers....	I am in the process of sending my forms as well. I had a friend of the family that is a paralegal go over them and she did say to use None for things such as middle name which I have none... Also for previous husband, none and nothing in the rest of the boxes. I think if you put None and in the next ones n/a is fine but if you leave them blank shouldnt make much difference since you already stated you have no previous husband. Your friend is correct but I still avoid using None as a middle name, as in some languages "None", pronounced "Nawnay" is a "Name". ---- works every time it's tried.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-16 08:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Called USCIS for Assistence and they gave interesting answers....	So if the fiance has no middle name should we put NONE or N/A? I just want to make sure because I don't want to get an RFE for putting the wrong one. That would be frustrating. If you don't know the difference between the meaning of "none" and "n/A", I suggest you learn it. Once you have, you'll know which to use in which circumstance. For middle name, "None" is a name in several languages. Do not use "None". The question is certainly applicable so don't use N/A. I prefer ---- You won't get an RFE for N/A or None in that space but you might get a case with the name None as the middle name. Otherwise, when the answer IS "none" enter none. When the QUESTION is not applicable, such as the date of birth of a prior spouse when there has been no prior spouse then "NONE" for prior spouse name and N/A or leave blank for remaining questions about former spouse. Another place of confusion is often the question about last address outside the USA for a year on the USC's G325a. If you never lived outside the USA for a year or more, answer NONE, not N/A, as the question is applicable and the answer is none. If those examples don't clear it up for you, hire a professional to help you.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-08-16 07:34:00

USCIS doesn't issue visas. The Dept. of State does. Perhaps they are referring to the C in USCIS, meaning Citizenship benefits.
