K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPacket 3 Certified Translations
Try giving the embassy a call because it doesn't make sense why they would request translations of documents in their own country. If they still say they need them translated (to English I'm assuming) then they can be translated and signed by anyone who is fluent in both languages.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresASK FOR REQUIREMENTS K1 VISA
If you want to take the e-mails to the interview as proof of an ongoing relationship, you will have to print all the e-mails you think you may need. I printed two e-mails (to and from) per month for 2½ years and the CO read most of them. You can also print chats to bring with you, I also printed 1 page from each chat conversation, two per month for the entire time we were online.

It can take between 2-8 weeks actually. The average I've seen lately here on VJ has been 6 weeks. You can call the NVC every week (or everyday if you want to) to find out.

They're not a necessity but they help as proof of ongoing relationship if you have them. Try to gather as much evidence as possible though for your I-129F but MAINLY for the interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestourist visa for colombian fiance a good idea?
If her intention, and yours as well is for her to come to the US with a tourist visa to marry and stay, that's visa fraud and you'll get into trouble.

BUT she can come here with a tourist visa, marry you , go back to Colombia and wait for her K3 or CR1 visa. That's the way to do it if you marry here.

You can also file for a K1 visa and marry here once it's approved. Or go to Colombia, marry there and file for a K3 or CR1 and have her wait there.

The chances of her getting a tourist visa are slim to none if she doesn't have a good job, good savings, property and a very good reason to hold her back in Colombia.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo I have this right? K1 and I-601 -- this is bad...
QUOTE (fwaguy @ Feb 12 2008, 08:02 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
K-1 petition is I-129F not the I-130... Other than that it sounds about right..... Any alternative there is you will face the same requirement for a waiver... but others will hopefully chime


I Agree, I-129F for K1 visa. Is getting married before applying for the visa out of the question? It takes a month or two longer than the K1 and since you already have to wait about 1½ years for the whole process, might as well? Unless there are reasons not to do it.

I would advise you to call the USCIS first to find out if K3 visas are still available. I've read a lot of posts where people are saying that applications for K3 visas after July were being cancelled and processed as CR1/IR1 visas.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew here
Nobody is guilty of falling in love with someone who isn't legal in the US, that is not a crime. What is inconcievable to me is why not take the necessary steps as soon as you decide to be together as a couple or better yet, as soon as you concieve your first child. My first step would be to say "ok, let's go deal with this with a lawyer and that way we can be together in a legal and peaceful way in this country". That will save a lot of heartache in the future.

I agree, they only care about your relationship and your status, meaning that you didn't come to the US ilegally in the past. The whole process is 90%-95% all about you, the beneficiary.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 visa for my Domincan Fiance
I've seen cases here on VJ where they have waited about 2 years. And yes, it's an issue at the DR embassy. Each case gets a # and the number keeps getting bumped up over time. Kind of like the # you get at the DMV office and wait for it to be called. (bad example I guess). So yeah, unfortunately, you're looking at a looooooooooooong wait ahead of you. But hey, the sooner you apply, the sooner he'll be here.

It depends on the embassy and pretty much on the CO. Some people in Colombia are required to bring it to the interview and sign it in front of the CO and others are not even asked to show it. It's best to bring it unsigned just in case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions about Fiance Lawyers
If you have an easy case without any tangles, don't hire a lawyer. I think 8 out of 10 people will probably say the same.

If you can follow directions well, you won't have any problems. It'll be faster for you to make all the necessary calls and send any documentation needed without having a third person messing everything up.

If you have a complicated case for whaterver reason, then a lawyer can take care of it. Well, at least I'd like to believe that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmedical exam

Hi everyone im new here this is my first post. i just got engaged to my fiance from romania a month ago and we have been researching th k1 visa process. i have a question about the medical exam if someone can help me. my fiancee was just diagnosed with having hepatits b a few weeks ago. i have read that any communicable diseases will result in a visa denial. but i have talked with a lawyer and also saw on other forums that hepatits b will not be a problem as long as she is currently being treated for it and she has a follow up exam when she arrives here in the usa. he doctor says she will be free of the virus in about 6 months. should we wait for he to be cleared to start the application? and will this cause a visa denial if we dont? any advice is greatly appriciated. thanks

personally, i would wait for it to clear out. other than that i think it would be fine.

what you can do is call the romanian embassy and ask them. that might help! (the US citizen should call, they're nicer to them than the romanian ones )

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCrying!

Everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax. Stress is no good on your body. Crying about it is not going to make anything better.

Try meditation, prayer, herbal tea, whatever.



Stress definitely is not good for the body and we all need to try and relax as stated... though at times is easier said than done. While crying will not change things... it can be a healthy stress reliever, at least this is what I have found. Granted we all need to just remain hopeful and destress, which as stated can be anything from prayer to hanging with friends. Hang in there and you will come through this. God bless you on your journey!!!

I talked to a woman in Spanish but who also spoke excellent english. I set up a time for my fiance to pick up the packet this Wednesday and then will soon be able to schedule an interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresContacting US Interest Section in Habana

Hey all you with Cuban SO... What is the best way to contact the USINT to find out if our petition has arrived there yet? I know they will eventually contact my fiance, but wanted to see if there is any way to speed that up. I know there is a "toll free" (though a fee for a pin #) to call and schedule appointments for a family memember. Does the USINT have an e-mail that is regularly checked? I know the local number there but do not want to pay unless it is worth it. Just wanted to check with you all who have the experience... muchas gracias!!!


You can't use the toll free line for Fiance Visas. I don't know the email address off hand but I have posted it and may have sent it to you in a PM. I have sent 2 emails. The first was answered w/in 2 days, the other took over a week. You can also fax (number is listed on the USINT website) but I have had problems sending faxes because of the problem with phone lines.
Pocamuela



Thanks so much for your help. I will double and tripple check the PMs because I did not see it in there the first time... but do remember seeing it somewhere. Thanks again and best wishes.
