United KingdomPacket 3

Hi! Check out the UK regional forum, this thread in particular: http://www.visajourn...terview-thread/

There's a few pages, but read them all - there's so much good information about the next steps. Someone even posted the "packet 3" letter they received with their personal info blacked out.

Based on the responses in that thread, the packet 3 letter will be sent to the beneficiary in the UK and be just one letter with a link to the embassy where you can download all the forms and mail them in. If you want to take a look at them now and start filling them out, the link is here: http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html and all of the forms you need are on the right side of the page.

The process as I understand it is (if I'm wrong, please let me know):
1. Receive "packet 3" letter.
2. Download DS-230, DS-156, DS-156K and DS-157 and send these forms to the embassy with your case number noted. Don't send the forms or try to book the medical exam until you receive the packet 3 letter. Also, you don't need to send the police certificate, evidence of financial support, photo, all that extra stuff just yet. Just send the forms (DS-156 and DS-157 should be prepared in duplicate)
3. Schedule your medical exam.
4. A few days before your medical exam and after you have your police certificate and all the extra stuff, send DS-2001 and cover letter to London embassy to schedule interview.
5. Get letter with interview date - aka "packet 4."
6. Go to interview and get approved :)

Russia, Ukraine and Belarusapostille
The apostille is an international certification of a legal document, whatever legal document you need in the Ukraine has to be taken to a Notary Republic so that they can put an Apostille to it.

This will cost money and you should shop around.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusHit a bump and need some advice on flying with the wife.

The name on the ticket must be the same as the name in her passport, call your airline and have them issue you a new ticket with the correct name!!

 

Good Luck.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusI-134 and Post-NOA2 Checklist

This is from the guides above, http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide

 

1.A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one). Your fiance(e) should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well).

2.Send copies of the documentary proof that you submitted with the I-129F for your fiance(e) to have on hand for their interview at the embassy. Your fiance(e) should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well).

3.Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4.I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5.You will need several items (for the above form). Gather duplicate evidence of income and resources as appropriate: 

(A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits, identifying the following: 1. date account opened; 2. total amount deposited for the past year; 3. present balance 
(B) Statement(s) from your employer on business stationary showing: 1. Date and nature of employment; 2. salary paid; 3. whether position is temporary or permanent (also include copies of your last two pay stubs and your previous W-2 for the associated employer if available) 
© If Self Employed: 1. Copy of last income tax return filed (or IRS transcripts); or 2. report of commercial rating concern 
(D) List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s). 

Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. See this FAQ for more tips and useful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6.A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail. (backup information; the embassy will have copies of this as well)

7.Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, online chat logs (pick several over the prior few months), etc.. from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 until date-now).

Examples: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate emails and letters you have sent including the stamps on envelopes (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Dutchies sign this Petition!!!!

Nederlanders overzee mogen niet van hun staatsburgerschap worden beroofd
Posted ImageMinister Donner wil Nederlanders hun Nederlanderschap afpakken als zij een buitenlands paspoort krijgen en het moeilijker maken het ooit terug te krijgen. Maar identiteit en loyaliteit aan Nederland gaan niet verloren door een tweede nationaliteit, die men vaak aanvraagt om puur praktische redenen. Nederlanders in het buitenland zijn ambassadeurs voor Nederland en het Nederlands belang. Schilder ze niet af als het Nederlanderschap onwaardig.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Dutch/American couples: have you used tax form M?
When your fiance moved to the US he has told the Dutch IRS that he moved to the US, they will send him the M-biljet before the end of February. If you do not receive it by then give them a call and apply for one. Their phone number is Belasting Telefoon Buitenland (+31)555385385
Also check with the US IRS to prevent paying taxes in both countries, the M-biljet needs to be returned before the end of July.
