K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI royally screwed up our K1 app!!!

Oh God, thing have gone from bad to worse so quickly. I somehow put down the year for my fiancee's birth as 2006 instead of 1980! My *** **** dyslexia screw me again!!! I simply cannot do numbers.

####### do I do now?! I am dealing with HCMC in Vietnam and we all know they will use any excuse to send you into oblivion. As you can see from my timeline, somehow despite this huge error the application is proceding towards HCMC.

Please, what do I do? :help:



Matt,
I had also made the same error, wrong birthdate on the I-129F. But I did put the correct birthdate on the G325A. My fiancee discovered the error when they sent her packet 3. Here is what I did: I sent the HCMC consulate an email describing the wrong birthday as an inadvertant error, I also told them that the G325A had the correct birthday on it. They responded to my email saying that they had forwarded my email to the NVC. Thats it. So I decided to send to my fiancee a notorized affidavit that she can take to the interview. The affidavit explains that I made an inadvertant error on the I-129F and that the G325 was correct. This just supporting evidence that the mistake was realized by the petioner and therefore brought to the attention of the consulate.

i think they do a FBI name check, they route the petition to the appropriate embassy all over the world and they give the embassy case number and schedule the interview.

FBI check on who, me or my fiancee?

PhilippinesThe Document Verifcation Code Cracked!
QUOTE (mary12 @ Apr 6 2008, 01:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Ok, just want to let u know what happened in my case. After i paid Delbros at Metrobank, i received 2 texts from Delbros acknowledging my payment. A day after that, i called Delbros and said they will inform USEM right away. Several days after, I called Delbros again saying tho they have informed USEM, USEM hasnt beeng giving the request for document verification tho i paid Delbros fee a month in advance. Now, after i got the pink slip and wanter to verify why no verification has been done, i was informed by one of the USEM staff that they dont do verification unless after the interview! So there u go! That's from the horse's mouth. They dont do verification process unless after the interview of the applicant. So in essence, i dont know the reason for paying Delbros the P650 in advance if they will not process it anyway.

Just sharing with you what actually happened on the day of my interview. As a matter of fact that lady was shocked to ask me where on earth did i get the idea that I should pay delbros in advance so there would be a document verification in advance of the interview. Its a shock to them.. and all the more Im shocked coz that is now how their process works.

My fiancee had her interview on April 2nd, and everything went very smooth. She paid her doc. verification at a different window to Delbros. The CO told her to pay there inside of the USEM.

Expect a couple of weeks, with the large influx of cases being filed before the fees were increased July 30.

You did use a trackable method like priority mail certified? This will at least tell you they received the petition.

Also update your profile, you are no longer filing for "N/A" are you?
Yeah, I thought I did a time line, but its not working, how would I do this

Good Day Everyone,
I want to submit my K1 petition, i have over 1 inch of yahoo messenger chat, what would be the best way, to send copy of chats, being over a inch of paper work. Or should I just cut that in half?


Pick 4 or 5 of the best and include that, anymore is overkill. Also chats are more useful at the interview rather than the K-1 petition. The petition is concerned only with the evidence of your last meeting.

Ok, but you said, piick 4 or 5, what do u mean? 4-5 sheets of paper with chats, and also, when i do submit the yahoo chats for the interview, should i send that packet of over a inch of paper work showing our chats?

VietnamVietnam VisaJourney Members

Matt, my fiancee Huong is the same way. She is worried about the interview because of her English. I tried to explain to her, the person interviewing her has interview probably thousands of Vietnamese people speaking broken English. I am sure that they are very familiar with hearing them speak English, so it should be no problem. We also wanted to wish you both good luck.




Matt,
My fiancee was the same too. I encouraged her to break the ice just when she stepped up to the window and look the CO in the eye and say 'Good afternoon' or morning. Keep building her confidance up. After she said this the CO looked back and smiled and returned the compliment, then the translater left the window. Have her establish the fact that she speaks english at the very beginning, this will giive a good first impression.
