K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F for Interview?

http://www.visajourn..._1#entry5356158
If you want your fiance to have a clue at what the CO is looking at and have a smooth interview, you will provide a copy to your fiance so they are aware of the documentation. Other people question this as well although I don't know why. Do you want your fiance to be prepared for any questions that might arise from the CO in regard to the contents of your petition package? This is what you need to be asking yourself. It isn't a short cut worth taking IMO. I would hate to go to an interview unprepared, wouldn't you?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStarting My Visa Journey TODAY! - Hopefully..

I would suggest you start reading the guides to determine which petition is right for your situation (but ignore the K-3 part since that is no longer an option): http://www.visajourn...content/compare

For one, the K-1 visa is for unmarried couples, so if you plan to get married first, that is not the petition to file. You would need to look at the IR-1/CR-1 information. You should be able to visit one another during the petition process, however, it is up to the Border Patrol on if she will be admitted into the U.S.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting Started on K-1 in June

That's the best thing to do. It seems overwhelming at first, but all you can do is educate yourself. Look through the guides, the flowchart, the example forms. Print them out and fill them out (for practice) and ask any questions you have here so that when it's time to file, you're good to go! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSending Tomorrow MY FINAL CHECK
It looks good but did you think about a cover letter? an example is in the guide. http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide

And did you think about form G-1145, with this form USCIS can inform you on the progress. http://www.uscis.gov...form/g-1145.pdf

Make sure that all your forms are signed!!!


Good Luck with your journey.

You should have no more problems than normal, yeswhen he comes to the US he would have to bring all the proof of strong ties to his home country.

Enjoy your stay B-)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew Here!

Thanks for the quick responses! I have it complete with all supporting documentation already. One less thing I need to worry about later.

The wait is going to kill me! I'm heading up to Canada on Friday for a visit. That will help.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSupporting documents in K1 Visa Application

And here is how the confusion begins. He is submitting an I-129f petition, NOT a K-1 visa.

1. A personal check is acceptable for the I-129f petition fee. It is not acceptable for a K-1 visa fee but that is not what he is paying. Petitions and visas are not the same thing.

2. Emails not needed for a petition, no proof of ongoing realtonship needed for a petition, only proof of meeting in person.

3. dates do not matter.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 POE same as the city that we're gonna have a ceremony?

Your point of entry will be the first stop that you make in the United States whether it is New Tork or LA. If you plan to stop in New Youk that will be your first point of entry into the US so that is where you will go through Immigration. If your entry point is California that is where you will go through Immigration. Once you go through immigration you can travel anywhere you want to go in the US.

Sorry but that's how I read this nonsense...

Sometimes they don't update your online status at all, or sometimes they send you 5 emails saying the same thing. Unfortunately you can't rely on that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarrying in UK

Most people here don't advise it, because if something "looks" like a wedding, it can be perceived as one. If you don't sign any papers, or provide any pictures at the interview, this is possible. It's not a risk I would personally take, but that's just me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 and I-864 Joint sponsor?

I know that dear, but what I'm trying say is that its my basic right to have my husband it can be from anywhere.


You have the right to marry who you want but to live in this country you must also follow the Law.

Why not marry and live in his country?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 and I-864 Joint sponsor?

Why would a stranger agree to a contract with the US government concerning a person they did not know? Would you sign a contract with the government to sponsor my spouse and be liable if she collected any sort of government assistance?

Most of us here (myself included) on VJ "imported" a spouse through K or CR/IR visas. Just using a term, not making accusations. :)
