I never wait for the hard copy read my time line, at soon you receive the cover page you can send the I-864 and after you paid the IV fee they will email the cover page for DS-230

Hi everyone, I submitted a petition for my wife I 130 in September 08, but i still have not gotten the the second notice yet. I called USCIS several times. The last time i called i was told that my case is out of the processing time. Since it was USCIS fault for delaying my case, I requested an expedite process. The next day,i received an email saying that my request for an expedite process is approved. It was on the 25th of March 09. since that date i have not heard anything from them. I decided to call again last week and i was told that my case is still pending. Iam sick and tired of this painful and bureaucratic process of the USCIS. Pls help what should I do!!!

thx

QUOTE (Dave 'n' Hai Au @ May 21 2009, 02:21 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I think .MythaG- is on the right trail. I think maybe the CO asked about "previous" marriages for you and maybe your husband thought she meant how many times have you been married. The CO knows you are married now, so if the question was about the past, the answer would be once. Talk to your husband and see if he can remember the exact wording of the question. My wife has interview in June and I told her to make sure she understands the question being asked before giving an answer. Once you answer, it is too late to take it back. I agree with others that you want to stop the case from going back to U.S. If you can convince them he maybe didn't understand question, you will get 2nd interview. Best Wishes and Good Luck to you.



I also understand like that, he include our marriage, I just call Madrid Embassy, the unit about immigrant visa is open from 3 to 5pm no one can help me at this time, I will wake up at 8 am i need to convince them to have a new interview and my attorney told me to be present this time, good luck to your wife with the interview

Keep your hopes up! I know it is very sad, because yall are man and wife. They probably will give you another interview. When a person is officially denied they will send your passport and other info. back to you. My finacee from the Phils. was denied, it was stated on her letter, they determined the intent was for immigration to the USA only. I have been there to see her 3 times. Good luck, keep your chin up, and think positively. I am planning to appeal their decision, having already contacted my Senator's senior staff. May God Bless!


I keep my chin up............, he doesn't have any letter or any denied document, only a word from the officer telling this is a fake marriage and I send the case back to USA, ???????

What make me feel so sad is my husband telling me this: honey can you talk to the Ambassador why she make fun of me? why she keep telling me why you look to my hair do I have something? she said more than once crying.gif he don't understand what he did wrong why she don't let him talk.

NO!! NO!!! Definitely don't wait til you case goes back to USCIS!!!!
I've read some here who was able to get 2nd interview and passed.
Call embassy first, confirm what happened. Maybe they lost your divorce papers... or maybe there was a typo in the system.


I called, but today is only interviews, tomorrow they will answer all the call for citizens, I paid 10 euros just to know that, of course I will requested a second interview because I am so lost, even the lawyer told me something is wrong there, but i will call tomorrow, I even want to take a plane and be there face to face

First of all why did they say it was a fake marriage? Something must have happened or been said for them to come to that conclusion. You need to overcome this obstacle. Did they say the file was going to be sent back to USCIS?


since the beginning she don't like my husband she was laughing of him and ask him how many time she was married and he answer and she said no is not true and he said it is, and she said not this is a fake marriage you have to know how many times she was married and what he answer is true i don't know why she said is wrong i don't understand what is this?

For the K-1 Visa, how many interviews would we expect?

What type of questions would be asked?

What type of documents would they ask for?

Will we need a lawyer during our interviews?

Having illegal members, like my mom, would affect the process?



you will have better information in Immigrate2US.net because you case is EWI= Enter without inspection is so many cases like your case there, Amy Guerra is very good in that forum talk to her good luck to you good.gif

I just turned 18, I have been living in the US since 12, and my girlfriend and I want to get married. I have not passed my 180 days of illegal stay, I will finish high school, and go back to my country right after that, and live with some family members. But I will not pass that deadline. We have been going to a notary/United farmer worker foundation employee...

Yesterday, we filled the 129f, but nothing has been sent off, we need some info still, should the stuff be sent before I go, or after I go? Also my fiancee's family dont like the idea at all. My fiancee and I have decided to marry and spent our lives togehter no matter what. I am a good student, I got accepted to UCLA, Berkely and such, but I cannot assist because of financial aid problems. Maybe this could help or something...I came into the US, without inspection, and have no criminal record at all.

We dont want to be separated, and I am very uncertain of this k-1 process, I have been stressing too much lately, and would like some advice. I plan on joining the military once I am back, IF I am back of course. So far we have 3 letters testifying our relationship, e-mails between us, some letters, some pictures, some phone bills. But we havent gotten anything related to the church, we have not talked to a priest or anything like that either. I want to minimize the chances of the process being delayed, I am paranoid and scared, I love my ...help!


more information can be found in immigrate2us.net most of the cases are about EWI= Enter WithoutInspection this is something I found in that site I hope this help you
For example, if an alien entered the US EWI when they were 10 years old in 1996, left at the age of 14 in 2000, then EWI again later in 2000, he is not eligible to file an I-601 waiver as he accumulated more than 365 days of countable unlawful presence from April 1997 until 2000, then left and re-entered without inspection. As the law is interpreted currently, there is no exception because all of this happened while the alien was a minor.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to send my I-129F?
Unlikely. Something had to be wrong, not the date format.

Regarding the subject, I made a huge mistake and sent my package First Class mail. Three months later I found it in my mailbox destroyed, smelly, as it was soaked in water. The following I sent Express Mail which was delivered the next day.

Learn on other's mistakes.


I read somewhere that someone got an RFE for a date mm-dd-yyyy format but on the example VisaJourney gives for letter of intent, that's the date format?


Peter__MalePoland2011-05-29 12:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA# - None, N/A or blank?

Peter,

Are you saying that I am asking these questions because I haven't read the form instructions? I have, many times. The only statement in the I129-f instructions that addresses my question says:

State that an item is not applicable with "N/A." If the answer is none, write "none."

This does not specifically answer my questions, it is just a generalization. I was simply asking for clarification on the subject.




Yes you're right, these instructions can be vague. I was confused many time myself, sorry.

As previously mentioned, leave NO blank spaces, so they know you did not skip anything. I think for mine A# I put N/A since it just doesn't apply. Even though we have it, we are also citizens and you fill in your Naturalization Cert number anyway.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMissing Job History Information
I would say approximate, businesses move, but addresses don't. So if you have a name and know where the business uses to be, check the address and put there at least something. I don't believe that USCIS checks on every little tiny piece of that information, and it is also unlikely that everyone can get their job history 100% accurate.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresneed an ideas:) (Prev. K-1 withdrawn, new petition & petitioner)
That exactly was my impression when I read the subject. You may be in love, I don't know, you have to take a look at this issue as an immigration officer would.
One person filed for you, then it was cancelled and short after that a second person files the application. That just doesn't sound right.
Either way, let us know how you did.


I honestly don't know if you'll be okay. They could accuse you of attempting visa fraud with the first K1 and trying to get the visa even though the petition was cancelled... but they might also just ignore it but you won't know until the time comes.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhen to get your police certificate

hey everyone

i was just wondering because im very confused, when exactly am i supposed to go and get my police certificate for my k-1 visa?
and ow long do they take to get?
we just filed for our k-1 visa and we just got our hard copy of our Noa1, when am i supposed to get my police certificate?



Every country has something like Criminal Record, if you don't know, call your local police dept. and ask where can you obtain one. Check with your visa papers that this is the right time to get one, don't get it too early, because it may become invalid after a period of time and you may need to pay twice. Also, check if you can deliver one to the embassy, or you may have to supply a stamped envelope so it will be sent directly to the embassy without your further involvement (I had to go that route).

Hi tttrrr,

The case number I gave them is from the orignal NOA notice I received once I sent in the app/fee/evidance. Have you done this so far? The number I called was 1800-375-5283 - also listed on the notice. To talk directly to a rep, choose option 1-2-6. These are options for the English language.


thanks that was helpful. im calling now, but what file number did u give them when u called, was it the number on the reciept or on the GC.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI did not receive Biometrics Letter Notice…
Well, this is my case. I sent off my I-751 app Sept 17, 2010, received my NOA at my physical address – no problem. On the app I have my physical address and a P.O Box listed as my mailing address. I thought all correspondences were going to come to the P.O Box.

Anyhow, Yesterday (Nov 2nd) I decided to come on the forum to check if anyone who filed in my time frame received their Biometrics letter. Come to find out, everyone received an interview date for fingerprint this week. So I’m frantic now and thinking to myself…where’s mines? First thing as I reached home I gave Customer Service a called inquiring about my status. Of course my file number could not be found so I was transferred. The Rep said it was mailed out to my P. O. Box and that my Hubby had his interview TODAY at 8am. And of course he needed the letter. We went to the P.O. Box nothing there, nothing at our house address. Called back told a Rep the situation and he said he could fax it. I don’t have a fax machine. To make a long story short, I gave him my Aunt‘s fax number in which we received it, after 2 attempts. Second Rep stated 1st Rep did not fax it, it was showing in system. When I looked on the address listed on the letter – all is correct and the date it was generated was from Oct 8, 2010. I couldn’t believe it.
What hurt my head more was on the notice it mentioned if an appointment was missed, not rescheduled – the app/case would be considered abandoned. All I can say is Praise God. If I didn’t decided to check yesterday on this forum – my case would have been thrown out.
Relief- Hubby, went in this morn, did his fingerprint/took pics – in and out in 20 mins. Had no issues.

Anyone experience not receiving their notices? I hope this mishap doesn’t occur again. I do not want to miss anything important especially the Visa if mailed out.
TashFemaleJamaica2010-11-03 14:34:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionno biometrics schedule no notice except for NOA1
I would call again tell them you're checking on your status of your case. Because you don’t have the Biometrics Letter to give the CSR the receipt number (It's diff from the NOA receipt number) they may say your case cannot be found then you should be transferred to another Dept who will be able to access your file and give you status on case.
I didn't get a Biometrics Letter, even though they said they mailed it, and I was schedule for an appointment the next day. :o Luckily I called and they faxed me a copy and I had no issues. :yes:

Just try calling again.
