K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F : Just making sure we have everything
Make sure in those emails/chat logs that you do not refer each other as husband/wife.
And also make copies of what you send, always be safe in having copies.
Seems like you have everything ready to be sent out.
Good luck to you both.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVisa Denied! :(
Hi,

Sorry to hear about the denial. I know how you both want to be reunited here and sucks to wait for 10 years.
I second the suggestions from other members to consider moving to Mexico until the ban is over.
Or Canada? That way you are closer to home?
What did your attorney suggest you do now after the denial? Just curious.
Good luck to you both.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTake the medical examination earlier. Better or not?

you need your manila case number.  

 

She is from Indonesia, so it has to be Jakarta number.

 

To the OP, remember not to go for medical exam until it is instructed by the Embassy to do so.

Because you will need your JAK# and the exam has validity. 

The same thing applies for police clearance (if you have lived abroad for more than 6 months). At the moment, enjoy his visit and wait for the NOA2 for further instructions.

Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMy K1 visa pending
I am sorry to hear this but there is no telling how long the admin process will take.
It can be two weeks or more than a year depending on the case. Did the consular gave you the 221G paper?
I completely agree with the VJ members here, that ceremonies like the one you had may trigger denial because you are considered as married (though it was an engagement party) while you have K1 visa process pending.
You might wanna regroup with your fiancee and discuss the possibility in taking the CR-1 route.
Good luck to you both

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMy interview experience today.
I completely agree with Kaydeecee. In my case the AP lasted for two weeks and they did not require anymore papers from me. Since you have provided more information the officer requested, all you have to do is wait.
Your fiance can email the consulate for updates. This is not the end.

Please be informed that K3 is obsolete. You might want to try the CR-1 route if you wish to marry your fiance instead of waiting for K1 to be approved. Which I don't recommend right this second because you just had an interview and still waiting for the consulate to respond.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMy interview experience today.
Did the officer give you the 221G? Did he ask for more papers from you?
So was your fiance with your during interview? Because you mentioned about both of you being treated as criminals?
The thing about AP there is no way in finding out when it's going to end. It could be days to months.
Hopefully by not returning your passport they will eventually issue the visa to you.

As others have mentioned, keep checking the ceac website. I was under AP too and completely understand how you must feel!!
:(

Good luck to you

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAP but no G 212 or 221 or anything ??
I also had an interview for K1 and is put under 221g. Kept my passport, original birth cert and my fiance original divorce decree.
After the interview, theofficer didn't say anything just gave me the yellow slip and advised to wait for further information from them.
And oh! Not to worry (hope he's right)
Such a bummer! Because there is no way that we can find out how long is the wait.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDenied I-129f, want to file CR1

Dhadz! First denial because consulate didn't believe the relationship was authentic. The relationship fell apart not too long because my ex fiancé blamed me for the denial. The 2nd denial as stated because I failed to supply proper document.


So if I may ask you, the second petition is with a different fiancè? As you mentioned "ex-fiancè" on your previous post? If so, make sure you do not have any petition for you pending with USCIS. And you can pursue CR-1 naturally, just make sure you have everything they requested. Because they might ask you for the same documents you failed to present the last time.

Good luck

Yes that is correct Indo police clearance is not required.

If your wife lived more than six months abroad, then you'll need it from the respective countries.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp with I-129F

Hey guys I'm Jon and I have a girlfriend in Dominican Republic whom I have been with for a year and 4 months. Long story short we wanna be together now I printed my I-129F form but I need help from people who are already in the process. What are the steps for this and what else do I send with the form?


Hi Jon,

Once you fill out the I-129F (please read and fill carefully) here are some of the documents you need to send along with the papers:
1. Check of $340 (please refer to the USCIS fees page)
2. Letter of intent to marry within 90 days, signed and dated from both petitioner and beneficiary (check out the samples on VJ website)
3. Declaration of how you both met in the last 2 years
4. Proof of ongoing relationship such as photos, itineraries, boarding passes, emails, chat logs, phone logs
5. G-325A filled out by the US Citizen and beneficiary signed and dated (so there are two G-325A)
6. One passport-type photo of the US Citizen. Write the full name of the US citizen on the back.
7. One passport-type photo of the beneficiary. Write the full name on the back.
8. Copy of the Birth certificate (front and back) for the US Citizen or a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport issued with a validity of at least 5 years or a copy of the US Citizen's naturalization certificate (front and back).
9. Beneficiary's copy of birth certificate with translations
10. Copy of divorce decree of both petitioner and beneficiary if any
11. Copy of all passport pages on beneficiary

Check out the K1 visa guides on Visajourney for more details.

Good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFile sent electronically?
Hi Billious,

During my interview April 23, they returned the original proof of relationship that was forwarded from NVC.
So I'm not too sure about this information on e-processing.
In my case, the consulate sent the checklist/packet 3 to my personal email, they didn't send it to my fiancè. But they will definitely reach out to either one of you so no need to worry. You need to email the consulate asking about the status of your case, calling is useless. Email them jakiv@state.gov and state your JAK#

Hope this helps

Please read these threads about multiple petitions for K1.

http://www.visajourn...iple-petitions/

http://www.visajourn...or-k1-petition/

 

Bottom line is: petitioner has to cancel the I-129F and yes it will affect your future applications if not canceled.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresprevious visa application will affect my present fiancee visa application?
There are similar threads here on the subject if you're willing to do some research.
As far as I know, your ex needs to cancel the petition since it is still PENDING with the USCIS. So they will see it as multiple petition on your behalf and deny it.
Good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDenied visitor visa - considering K-1 (Nigeria)
You both can meet up in another country if you'd like as long as you have met within the two-year requirement.
But I would suggest meeting him in his hometown, visit with his family and take a lot of photos as proof.
A week visit would suffice. Collect itineraries, receipts for petition purposes.

Or

He can always apply for B2 visa again. I understand it can be difficult to leave mom alone due to the illness.

Good luck to you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresImmigration Lawyer speeds up Process
Hi corvusheart,

From our experience with an attorney, we could conclude that we spent a hefty sum of money for nothing. Basically you can do this on your own. I suggest you keep the money for plane tickets.
He didn't provide us any new information or speed the process. Could not be reached through phone, only emails and those were seldom replied.
He did help with filling up the forms and mock interview, however, again, you can find very useful information on this website. AND there are tons of people who are willing to help here.

Hope this helps. Good luck
