I believe the service center location is determined by your proximity to the nearest service center.

Does USCIS notify the petitioner of when an approved application is forwarded to NVC? How would I know when they sent the petition?

Is it reasonable to call NVC, even if you haven't received the confirmation message stating that it has been forwarded to NVC? I received my NOA2 last Friday, but no other notifications.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS to NVC - Update?

Just curious: where do we get the update that our case has been shipped to NVC...is it on the USCIS status site? (my fiancé hasn't picked up the NOA2 hardcopy yet from his father [we get everything mailed there] so I don't know exactly what it states)

 

 

TSC has been sending notification when they ship to NVC. I received my text and email from USCIS two weeks after my approval. CSC, from what I understand, doesn't give notification.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsEnlighten me pls!! Income requirements!!

For the income requirement does this mean you have to have this amount in the bank or you have to annually be making this amount? If I have to annually make this amount then what form does my co-sponser have to fill out?

 

 

you need to earn 125% of the poverty level per year. If you earn close to this 125% annual guideline, then you will probably want to include bank statements showing additional funds on hand. 

This is from another thread that involves your question about which form to be used:

 

"Many consulates follow the guidelines for the I-864 even when using the I-134, and that includes the 125% instead of 100%. The USC petitioner fills out an I-134 and provides their supporting documentation. The co-sponsor fills out their own I-134 and provides their supporting documentation. They should also include proof of being a USC or LPR".

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsEnlighten me pls!! Income requirements!!

For annually she make $32000 plus and right know she make up to $24000, so is this Gud we use pay stubs without tax fills coss we can't get those untill march 2014.

 

 

No, You need the tax filing(s). You can always get your tax transcripts for free from the IRS. I ordered mine for the last three years, and received them in about a week. Again, free of charge! You will need 2012 and 2011 transcripts...maybe 2010 depending on your consulate's requirements.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview Preparation - documents translated?

 

You don't need to translate every bit of paper that is written in Ukrainian, Russian, or English ... but you do need to have certified English translations for important legal documents (as stated in the instructions for many, if not all, immigration related forms... ie: previous marriage certificates, divorce decrees, birth certificates, etc)...

 

While the US consulate in Kiev has the ability to translate documents written in Ukrainian, Russian, or English... your local USCIS office assigned to your case probably won't accept none English "legal" documents without you including certified English translations.

 

 

Save yourself some time, money, headaches, stress, and possible RFE's and have important legal documents translated properly into English, before your bride-to-be steps foot in the US... just a suggestion.

 

Good luck to the two of you on your journey smile.png

I'm confused. I thought the original question was whether or not to include English translated docs for the embassy interview. When filing aos, of course, translated docs are necessary, but that could be done in the US, no?


Hin-dMaleUkraine2013-11-10 08:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview Preparation - documents translated?

Wow, I can't believe we're this close! What a crazy ride this has been.

My Fiancee seems to think any documents (she needs to give to the interviewer) must be translated into English.

Example, we have hotel receipts from my visit in September. The receipt from the engagement ring. These are in printed in Russian (with the exception of my name)



 

Should we translate the receipts? Anything else that should be translated to English?

Any advice is appreciated.  

Hello,

Nothing needs to be translated into english, as long as the documents are in Russian, Ukrainian, or English.

Thank you! Good luck to you, too! Don't forget to take the bank receipt, for the visa payment, with you to the consulate...and DS-160 confirmation page(I'm sure you knew about the confirmation, but you didn't list the receipt).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview Check List - Am I missing anything?
You need two more letters of intent, dated for this period in time (for you and your fiancee). Also, I don't believe that you are required to complete ds-156. Tax return is good, but they prefer tax transcripts from the IRS. Maybe someone else can chime in on the ds-156, but I believe that they replaced it with the ds-160.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAlien Registration Number Changed!!!! I-129F

from what i've read and gathered in this forum, this step is taking at different stages depending on your Service Center.
 
With the CSC it is one of the first steps, so no, no NOA2 any time soon (i'm talking days here). with others apparently, this is one of the last steps and your NOA2 should come soon.
 
good luck




Let's hope that this still holds true! I'm at TSC, so that would be great! Not getting my hopes up, though.)

Wait a week before you call NVC. After, one week, call everyday..
Remember, NVC has to receive and process your documents, and it takes a little time for this to be done.
Good luck! You're getting closer!)

Our NOA2 was 10/30 so I guess I shouldn't be getting impatient yet...so why can't I stop looking at the USCIS website hoping it's sent to NVC...? 


They forwarded mine to NVC exactly two weeks after the approval.
Should be within the week that yours will be sent!
Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2013 K-1 Filers

Can someone tell me what the next steps are once you receive the NOA2. I just got an email that said there was an update on our case.

 

Post Decision Activity

On October 16, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

 

Does it go to the Dept. of State and then the countries embassy? I am hoping someone here knows and can tell me smile.png Thank you all so much!

read what's written towards the end of the page. Congrats! Hopefully, I will be in your situation soon!

You have a little more leg work, but not as much as what you had  to complete with the original submission. Read carefully, and don't forget to submit anything that he, or she will need for the interview!!!

yes, it will go to the National visa center, and then to the consulate. after a week, you can begin calling NVC for the application number that they will assign to your case before they ship to its final destination.

I was born in a different country and derived citizenship from my Father. I have a certificate of Citizenship from the US. Now, my question is this: I used to have an alien ID, should I use this number on the application? Or, should I consider it to be a thing of the past?

Hin-dMaleUkraine2013-08-27 10:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew and confused... Could use some guidance!

Your list looks good, you DO need BOTH of your sets of visa size photos (two each) with the initial petition. You don't need the beneficiary's birth cert until the interview. A word of advice though, include as much proof of having met and proof of an ongoing relationship as possible in the initial packet. It's very beneficial to front load at the lima embassy, it will make the interview go smoother. Anything in spanish being sent to USCIS needs to be translated. 

 

Don't worry about the A-Number for now, if you don't have one leave it blank. The I-134, D156 and D-156K and if the beneficiary is male then the D-157 do not need to be filled out until the interview. Along with them, and proof of ongoing relationship, you'll need the beneficiary's passport and police certificates, they have a period of validity though so don't worry about getting them until your case has been forwarded from NVC to the embassy

 

 

Two passport photos each? Ithought it was one photo for each of the G-325as submitted.
