K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMEDICAL CHECK-UP MARIHUANA QUESTION TODAY!

That's crazy! So what are you supposed to do? Let one night from college ruin your future? That's so messed up :(



Your right one night shouldn't me up your future. I think, this one area that, if nothing ever became of it, meaning you were never accused of, or been caught doing, they don't need to know of. If asked then I would advice not say anything. I'm not advocating everybody to lie, but I think this is one area that they are little to stricted. Why should it matter, if you are truly not using drugs, what you had tried years ago.

I joined the military, as an army MP, I had told the military that had experimented with pot two times, when I was younger. I had to get a waiver to be able to get my security clearance of secret. If I was able to get a waiver for that then one person should not get banned from getting a visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about Medical app.

Thank you for the reply.

 

I think we have figured it out after we did the DS160, we needed to go to the embassy page and request an appointment and then download the appointment letter for the medical  


ThebozMaleMalaysia2014-05-14 23:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about Medical app.

My Fiancée(Kuala Lumpur) received her checklist last January and we had waited a bit before getting the Medical and Interview.   We just did the DS160 online and have the receipt for that. 

 

Now, we have a question about the Medical.  She called the doctors that does the Visa medicals and made an appointment for the 21st of this month,  Does she need to have an Interview date prior to the medical, as it says to bring your appointment letter.  What is the appointment letter?  Does she need to schedule an appointment online with the embassy before going to the medical?

 

 


ThebozMaleMalaysia2014-05-14 21:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNow totally confused need help to figure out they want us to do

We thought we were ready to get medical and so my Fiancée scheduled an appointment for the 21st.  But, found out we needed to have an appointment letter at the medical.  So, we were going to go online to get an interview date, so that we could get an appointment letter fo the medical.

 

I sent an email to the embassy as follows 

 

"We received the Approval letter December 2, 2013 and we had waited a bit to proceed with an interview.    So, now we would like to continue with the K1 visa, We have received the checklist from the embassy a while ago and we have finished doing the DS-160 online.  Do we need to set up an appointment for the interview before we do the Medical and if so would we be able to do that online?  My fiancée said she scheduled an medical appointment for the 21st of this month.  Does she need to have an Appointment letter for the medical appointment? If so how do we get the interview appointment letter?"

 

The response back was the following

 

"Your fiancée should not do her medical as yet until we instruct her to do so.  As for first step, she must complete and submit her checklist confirming her documentations. "

 

From my understanding the DS160 has replaces some documents that they are asking for in the checklist

 

the link to her embassy does me little good as it is just as confusing

 

http://www.visajourn...ysia&cty=Lumpur

 

What is need to be able to have them send her info needed for the medical.

 

Or do we just have to pay the 240 for interview and then download the appointment letter to show at the medical.


ThebozMaleMalaysia2014-05-15 03:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressend checklist or pay 240 visa fee thats on the checklist

On the checklist it has the 240 dollar fee for the visa. Do we go online and pay that fee first or do we need to wait until after the checklist is filled out and send to the embassy and my Fiancée receives her appointment letter, then she goes online to make the payment for the visa.

 

Thank you

John and Anya

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancee lost her passport, sometime between the medical and interview of Tomorrow

Thanks everybody.  She has had her Document turn in and is currently waiting to go back to the Embassy, I believe she said she wont have to wait in line as she was 1st or 2nd.  Anyways , I had to try to keep from falling asleep, That's something hard to do when you are half way around the world and she wanted to get a nap in.  I did not want her falling asleep and not getting up in time lol.  I think she is making me more nervous then she is of the interview. 

 

ok back to my Bourbon and coke, beer is just not enough atm and I usually don't drink the hard stuff, must be the nerves

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancee lost her passport, sometime between the medical and interview of Tomorrow

Well, she went to do a police report and fill out the paperwork for a new visa but she was wearing clothes above the knee, so they denied her to going into some office building to finish getting her new visa.  

 

When she got home she looked again with the help of her mom and she found her mysterious safe spot, lol.  Four hours ago I had asked her to look under things like the couch, the bed ect,,,,,,,well it was under the bed.   So all's good and after her panick of looking for it, she can now relax and wait for the interview tomorrow, 

 

I told her not to put stuff in a mysterious hiding place again

She is going to make a police report and get a new passport, I told her to go to the Embassy Tuesday morning and explain what happened and show them the police report and then if needed reschedule the interview until she had the passport

What should we do if she can't find her mysterious safe spot, she said she put the passport, after the medical.  Her interview is on the 15th.  How do we go about getting a new interview date, if is not able to find it by tomorrow.  Of all the things to lose, why had it be her passport.

You will be fine.  Although not for the initial petition.  I had bank records and a letter from my job dated and signed from last year and my Fiancée used them in her interview, last week without problems-8+ months, granted I would not recommend going that long. lol

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting married after 90 days of entering the U.S with a K-1 visa
I think there is a lot of confusion when it comes to the medical, even doing searches on this forum, you get conflicting information. The way I understand it is the medical is valid for 6 month for immigration and it's valid for 1 year for AOS purposes.

But for all tense and purposes whatever the date that is on the visa itself is the date you must be here, regardless if the date is taken from the medical or issuance of the visa itself


ThebozMaleMalaysia2014-07-22 15:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting married after 90 days of entering the U.S with a K-1 visa

You have 6months to use your K1 Visa once it's granted

 

Not true, technically.  You have 6 months from the date of your medical, as they are only good for 6 months.  So if you had done your medical a month prior then when you had your interview, then you have 5 months to arrive in the US

I would like to know what the average time will it take to get through immigration at the Airport when my Fiancée arrives in the US.   She will be landing in Chicago next Sept.   I understand it depends on various factors and what not, but I just want to know if she did not have to wait in line, how long could I expect to wait while she in-processes.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForm Signature Expiration?

Its always better to have paperwork signatures close to filling as possible, but we had the forms you mentioned maybe 2 months or so before we filed.  Although, you don't need a letter from your employer yet and bank statements, I received those back in Nov. 2013 and I sent them to my Fiancée in May 2014 and we never had any RFEs or other problems.

All may not be lost.  You may need to give them more information that was needed at the interview.  Did you have an document that stated that you are affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa.   Did you send your Fiancé documents of your relationship?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarijuana arrest

I know this may sound mean, I don't want to be mean, but seriously: why would you marry a drug user? Aren't you afraid he'll do that in the US too? I know, like I say, I don't mean no harm...just curious of your perspective on this...all the best!

 

 

I don't do drugs. But its legal here in two states and plenty of other states have medical marijuana laws.  Now I could understand if the person was doing something like meth or cocaine, but pot is not that big of deal for most people.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWedding in April 1st NOA recieved yesterday

I hear ya. Thats another concern. I have a job currently with a US multinational based in Ireland, i can get a letter off them. I have a return flight booked and intend to use it as i am not planning on moving over to the US full time until feb march next year.

Has anyone done this before?

 

 

Once you enter the US to marry during the 90 days, you can not work, until you receive AOS, social security(I might be a little off on all that's needed).  You can not leave the US for 2 years, but you can file for early parole and after that is approved you may leave and return.

USCIS Service CentersNBC is currently working on October 2012 I130's.

Hey, I just spoke to the NBC where they are handling my I130 and they told me that at the moment, they are working on October 2012. I sent my I130 on February 2013. Thats a lot of time, toooo much time. We basically have about 4 or 5 months before they get to my papers. THATS CRAZYYY. Should I cry or should I laugh?

USCIS Service CentersRFE TSC?

No problem, They asked me for 2 people to write a statement saying they know we are in a relationship. In this statement they must include there full name address and how they know you. It can be a very brief statement. I got my dad and a co worker to write one.
Then they wanted a letter of intent to marry from both of us. This must be original copies. You can find examples of this letter online.
Also Two passport style pictures 2x2 in size of both you and your fiancée. You must write your full names on the back of these.
Also I sent 4 pictures and had to label them of where they were taken. They just need evidence for their files. Everyone has to go through this mess.
That is what they wanted from me. I did not include this in my petition when I sent it.
To expidite means they will just re-mail it to you. I would definitely keep on top of this. Time passes by quick.
I am open to answer anything to the best of my ability. 





thank you so much... i think they will ask me the same thing. Except for the paspport size picture,i already included that on ourapplication. If they will just re-mail the hard copy why they didnt just tell us that they will do it, why thry need to tell us thatwe will here something from them on friday? God weve wasted two monthssince thry emailed us that we are fot RFE.
Thank youso much

I got a letter in the mail of what evidence they wanted in about a week.


would you mind if i ask what documents they adked for. I received an email last november 2013 that our case is for RFE..But unluckily our hard copy was sent to Kuwait, me and my husband lived there begore but we already changed our address online. Anyway we already talked to the uscis people and they admitthey made a mistake and they told us they will send an expedite request forour case in CSC which ourcase has been transferred. Im still confuse if that means expedite should we still need to waitfor a hard copy of RFE and respond to that? Anyway, just to be prepared what documents they asked you for?
I dont know what else they need, in our applucation its obvious that me and my husband are living together in kuwait with a 1 year old baby, we assumed that is enough proof that we are genuinely a married couple. Living together in kuwait for almost 2 years..
thanks a lot

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi-130? K-3? something else? Need advice please
My advice is to extend another year in japan. Me and my husband live in kuwait before, he is usc and hes working in kuwait before. Then last april 2013 the company didnt renew his contract so we decided to file spouse visa so he can bring me in US. But no more USCIS office in US embassy kuwait so we mailed ourapplication last June 2013. His work in Kuwait is until first week of August, so obviously the visa was still on the process. My heart was broke when August 2013 came and i need to go home in Philippines and my husband will go back in US. My visa just got approved this March 25 2014. Yes weve been apart for how many months, but he visited me last December 2013 here in the philippines. Yes we got approved but another journey in NVC is waiting....for how long we need to wait is I dont know.
I really miss my husband.
so if i were you, while youre I130 visa is on the process, stay with your wife.

We are in the same situation, in my I 130 application i used my maiden name, then after the application i changed my marital status and changed my name on my passport, which i used my married name. My husband asked USCIS about that, they told him you will change your name during NVC processing. When they ask you all the original documents thats the time we will submit a paper ( for me a copy of my new passport) that we used now our married name. Hope this will help
