Pregnancy is not an issue for the process or for approval. Her interview i would think will be well before the end of the pregnancy. Congratulations and good luck.

My fiance is assembling the K1 visa. Does the biographic information G-325a form have to be filled in by the US citizen and the alien or is it just one of us? I also see theres 4 exact pages to be filled out.

Thanks

I am just wondering whether it is legitimate to apply for the business visa during the process of K1 application? If applied for, are there any chances for approval? or if got rejected, would that affect the K1 visa? Anybody knows about it? Looking forward to the answer.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLosing UK citizenship
QUOTE (william_wallace @ Oct 21 2007, 10:12 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Whats does actually happen after 5 years when you naturlize. Do i become 100% US citizen or do i have the option of having dual citizenship with the UK? Obviously my fiance and i dont know how the future holds as in whether we want to stay in the USA or not. We have talked about maybe in 10-15 years time to move back to Scotland. Will we have any problems if we want to do this once i become a US citizen, or do i lose all ties altogether?

Thanks


You dont loose it, I have 3 now Aussie, UK, and USA. Just in reality you use just USA as you no valid visa in the others, NO green card for re-entry, you hand it in when you get natralized.

Call and use the RFE trick. I have called twice and each time the person I talked to looked my case up for me. At least it's reassurance that it's not lost somewhere.

I was just reading a post elsewhere on VJ about the outside agency that is contracted to work on processing USCIS immigration files. I'm starting to wonder if that's how some May/June/July filers have been left behind while they work on August and I've even seen a SEPTEMBER that was approved already. Someone there is WAYYY behind with a few boxes of our files.


I agree. Try the RFE trick. It's one way to get an officer to look at your case and give a little more insight (even if you technically need to wait 6 months from the NOA 1...


I would be calling them everyday, hope to see you on CFL. wacko.gif

I think your only solution really is to voluntarily leave, do not attempt AOS.

Let your k-3 progress it will more than likey be denied for "material misrepresentation" hopefully they will allow you a chance of a waiver.

Sorry you are in this mess, in a way I can understand why you did it, but unfortunatly you have put yourself in a world of troubles by doing so. sad.gif


This may well be their best option but they really would be wise to consult a qualified immigtration attorney before taking any action.





I agree a good immigration lawyer.

I was under the impession they had consulted one who told them to do AOS, and remarry here. That just seems to me to increase the potential for a more permanant ban.

No such thing as a stupid question when it comes to this visa stuff!

Registering for account

You will need to go to the bottom of the page and then hit accept. Then fill in the next page. Once you finish filling in that page it will make you log in. once logged in there is sort of a menu bar on the left and that is where you will go to search your case and add it to your account once you get your NOA1.

You can set up an account with out having your case number. It will just be empty. So the choice is up to you to wait until you get NOA1 to open it or open it now.

QUOTE (ChrisB0707 @ Feb 28 2008, 10:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I know how you feel and think its BS. We filed at the CSC in October and still waiting. They raised the fees in July then said it was to hire 1500 new employees but it didnt make it any faster. They dont care about us and the ones we love. Our country spends 100's billions od dollars on a war that should have never been started. The housing market has crashed (I lost 90,000 on my house already) and the American dollar is worth less then Canada for the first time in 50 years. We have a stupid president to top it off. Point is our country is screwed in so many ways. We see approvals in less then 2 months at the NVC and over 6 months at the CSC. They need to open the Texas again to help with CSC. Anyway like everyone says we have no choice.



By raising the fees, they had to hire more people because there was a huge surge in the amount of petitions filed to beat the fee increase. It almost like the "which came first, the chicken or the egg" question. You can't hire more staff if the money is not there to pay them, Hence the fee increase. But before you can hire more people, visa applications sky rocket flooding the case workers, causing big delays for everyone. Do you think that those 1500 NEW employees are just going sit down and work just as fast as a veteran case worker? Their going to have questions on how to do things or process things. Part of the delay is US, the filers. Once the new staff gets familiar with the process and they work through the huge amount of "fee beater" petitions then they should speed up.

You can't just blame the gub'ment for everything even though they do some stupid stuff. I hope your approval comes soon, but we are all waiting... right there with you....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOverwhelmed with the task, considering hiring a lawyer?
Filling out the forms by yourself is not bad. The major things with the forms are

1. make sure you have the most up to date version of the form.
2. make sure you signed and filled out forms completely

I thought about getting a lawyer as well when I first started the process back in January and found that most of them want like 600 bucks just to basically verify the forms are filled out correctly. So i would suggest researching here and then do it yourself.

If she is already approved for a K1 why do you need a tourist visa?

Why does it matter? Why do people so often need to know what is none of their business?

Maybe the person would like to travel to the US and stay there for, maybe, only a few days. K-1 is valid for six months and not everyone can be ready to leave and not come back to wherever they come from the moment some Embassy stamps their passport. At the same time, not everyone in the world is dying to immigrate to the US, either. Maybe K-1 was their only option, for instance, and they would have loved to be able to avoid it, actually.


To the OP: I am not sure if it's possible to hold K-1 and B2 at the same time. While K-1 is pending, it of course IS possible to travel to the US on a B2. Whether or not you can get one is.. another story. I'd rather not get into that. =/


This is another case where correct terminology and meaning is critical. An "approved" petition is not a visa. If the foreign fiance has a K1 visa in their passport, their next US entry will use that visa regardless of any other US visa in their passport. You don't get to choose which visa you use. So, if a K1 visa holder isn't ready to immigrate, they need to delay US entry until they ARE ready to immigrate.

A foreign fiance with an approved petition may not have a visa for several months. As such, they may wish to visit the US during the interim between NOA2 and visa issuance. This can be difficult and just how difficult will depend highly on the country.

The OP is not asking about any of what I just mentioned. He's asking about applying for and using a tourist visa during the K1 visa process. The chances of accomplishing this from Mexico are pretty slim primarily because doing so at any time is pretty difficult from Mexico, particularly if it's the first time requesting a visa.

so pushbrk you seem pretty knowledgeable, do you think i should tell my fiance not to come to visit me from Japan or not? I really don't want her to waste her time coming if she is going to be turnedright back around again. I think we should definetly have our noa2 by then. Do you think it is too much of a risk?

I am very confused about the affedavit of support for my fiance's k1 visa. Last year i just started my job and on my tax return it only showed i made $10,000 on my tax return. This year i havent received my w2 yet but i have made well over the $17,500 which is the minimun for a household of two. My lawyer said i need to show my 07 tax return and if thats the case i am short and need a co sponser which is fine because my sister said she would help. I really don't want to take that route if i don't have too so i was wondering if i can show a letter from my employer and show pay stubs that i have made well over the minimun incom level this year would that be fine? If i do have to do the co sponser than what proceedure would i take. Would i send my sister a i-863 or a i-134? I am really confussed and any help would be great.
