WE filed our K1 last January 2008, my foreign fiancee hired a lawyer to represent him on the process. Is it advantage to have a lawyer? does it shorten the period of processing?


I personally dont think there is any benefit in hiring a lawyer unless you forsee some problems with your case, most people here file on their own. Their is no precedence given to cases handled by lawyers. All the info you would need is here either in the guides or by peoples personal experiences.

Good luck with your journey and timeline.gif .



Fully agree, with all the information posted here, tell your significant other just read here and he will get as much information and help as a lawyer. I don´t see where a lawyer fits here.

Philippineswhich number to call? please share.
The number is in the NOA1, ask for it to your husband.

Then follow the following secuence


Call the 1-800 number.

Option 1,
Option 2,
Option 2,
Option 6,
Option 1,
ENTER I129F (K3) receipt number
Option 1,
Option 3, Wait for "If our system"
Option 4,

this will connect you to an officer


1-They only provide information to the petitioner, so if his mother calls she is not going to get information from them, nor even you that are the beneficiary. I was mad when they told me that. Maybe your husband can call during lunch time.

2-You are not out of the timeframe. They will tell to him that you both have to wait. California Service Center is approving December filers now.

Good Luck

Just beware of Work-at-home businesses - especially online. They target stay-at-home/out-of-work individuals and very few (if any) ever make any money at it.

Their ads are everywhere - even 'legitimate' job-posting sites like HotJobs, Monster and the like - doesn't make them any more promising.

It depends on what kind of home business you will have.I am a stay at home busy working mom. I been making money on my own thru selling stuff on EBAY . You just have to be creative and be competitive enough to make money.



Hi,

Sorry to ask you what are you selling at EBAY. I haven't moved yet but I have been thinking about what am I am going to do once I get there. I have 16 years of my life working and it is going to be difficult for me to stay at home all day long without doing anything until I get permission to work.

I do home sewing like curtains, sheets, bedspread and so on. What do you think?

QUOTE (ghomnet @ Mar 3 2009, 06:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I called my girl friend on her cell phone a strange woman picked up the phone she says hello a bunch of time she could not hear me. we said hello for three minutes, then hung up then i called again within five minutes this time a guy picks up. i was extremely worried now thinking she may have been kidnapped (i had just seen the movie Taken which should the story of sex trafficking). We said hello a bunch of times for another 3 minutes. I wait ten minutes called again this time the call drops with 18 second then i call right back within that minute my girl pick up the phone. She was at the airport and it sounded like all the people was at the airport also. Now i don't think my girl would lie to me, but i am feeling strange she said no one had her phone the whole time. I am wondering if it is possible the line crossed. I am using skype to call her, i am in New york she is in the philippines manila.


There is problems with the lines there, maybe is the snow. I had problem to talk to my SO last night. I couldn't hear anything. Called twice, same issue. Don't worry it was just the line.

this has nothing to do with a K-1 .... moving


I am agree unless she has to work specific amount of time, when she takes a training. The company that I work for once you receive a training you have to stay one year or to pay back the amount spent in the employee training. There is an agreement that you have to sign before attending to the training. Maybe she has to check if they have something like this.

QUOTE (Aneudy Martinez @ Jul 2 2009, 12:09 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi everybody and thanks for your help!

Review!

On April 1st my mother received the AOS FEE
Later she paid $ 70.00 on April 14.
And send the requested documents on April 16.
On April 24 she received an email with the IV FEE AGENT (here are my questions)

I want to include my three (3) kids to travel with me, but the case is just for me, they were not include it when my moms filled the form

-Should I pay $ 400 for each one of us now?

-Or do I have to do it later when they ask for?

-Their birth certificates should I send it with the DS-230?

-I understand that they are going to ask for the form DS-230 after payment received, am I right?

Thanks,


Yes, you can include them when the time comes but you would have to pay US$400 for each one. You have to send the birth certificate with the DS-230. Yes when the payment is received. Please read the guides they are very helpful. Good Luck good.gif


QUOTE (L179 @ Jul 2 2009, 12:11 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You can not pay the fee unless they have been petitioned for.
Nor will they be able to travel you.


Here in DR there is a rule where you can include your kids unless they haven't been included in the original petition. It delays the process a little bit but not that much.

I don't know if there is an exception to the rule for this country, or it is in general for all Latin countries.

I almost sure the poster was petitioned from his/her parents.

1- Yes, I have gotten more than generic email from them.
2-My case is not overly long.
3-There are 2 or 3 persons in charge of check this email, give follow up and response to the email sender. Not all the workers go into that, it will delay their work in their desk.

I understand that if you don´t complain with them they are not going to know the frustation of people out there.

I am wondering why you don´t complain at National Visa Center Inquiry email about delays in the processing times, your cases and so on. Minutes ago i sent an email asking to them to update the processing time because they read as of December 14, 2007.

I encourage you to write to their email: NVCInquiry@state.gov, so they realize that there are real people outside waiting for them, that we are not only papers in their boxes or files.

I have written in other occassions and I have gotten response from them I hope to get one now. whistling.gif whistling.gif unsure.gif blush.gif

It doesnt mean it is the most current case.
