K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 cost break down ???
I don't know if you want to include it in a list of I-129F fees too but you'll also have to pay for the medical. I'm having mine in july but the fee is around $300-400 from what i hear, obvs depending on vaccinations that you'll need etc

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA bit overwhelmed
Just re read your post again. For Proof of meeting within the two years we sent my passport stamps also. We also sent hotel receipts and copies of all of my borading passes and some stuff from our bank (We had to have been in the same place to open the accounts so that worked)
Travis and MeghanFemaleAustralia2011-06-21 05:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA bit overwhelmed
I'm not too sure about the name issue so can't help you with that one, sorry :( But if you move while in the process you need to fill out a form on the USCIS website, i can't remember what it's calle dbut it's on there and you just do it all on line (my Travis had to do that) I (beneficiary) have moved since filing aswell and i am just going to email the consulate soon to tell them about my change of address.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a set wedding date or plans. travis and I don't have a set date as it's just too hard to set one as i'm sure you would know, lol. we're just going to have a quick courthouse type wedding this year and then a bigger one with family etc in a year or so when we have the money and are all settled in :).
Engagement ring shouldn't really matter either. I actually told Travis not to worry about one as he isn't working at the moment but he just got me one a few weeks ago ( we've been engaged since January). but i really don't think it's an issue.

HOpe that helps even a little! Good luck with your Journey, I hope it is fast for you!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresParent sponsoring

How did you do this? Did your father-in-law fill out the i 134? Also, on line 10 of the 134 form it asks if you (the sponsor) have petitioned for anyone, I have petitioned, but my father has not. Would my father put my fiances' name in that box or put none? These qs may be silly, but if you or anyone can help I would just be so appreciative. Thank you.



Hey, my mother in law is filling out the I-134 for me, and she put 'none' for question 10 :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresco-sponsor checklist
my fiancee's mother is my sponsor ( he is not currently working and has never had to file taxes). Aswell as filing out the I-134 she is sending me her last years tax return, letter from her employer with date employment started, annual salary and type of employment, and a few of her recent pay stubs. I'm from australia though and i THINK that it varies quite a bit from consulate to consulate in that i think some are a lot more strict and others a lot easier. hope that helps a little :)

you have to change your address with them every time you move, you just need to fill in the online form.

aI'm not sure how they do it in Sweden, but in australia we send the affidavit to the consulate ahead of interview btu i know at some places they just take it to the interview with them

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Sydney Payment fee- Australia Post don't know anything about it!!
So on the link with all the different fees on it, it says that 'K visa applicants pay an application fee (also known as the machine readable visa fee) like any other non immigrant visa applicant.' I would go to the post office and ask to pay the US machine readable visa fee or non immigrant visa fee and tell them how much it is ($350). Hope that helps a little :) might not jurt even to print it off and show them if they get confused again, lol

I suppose it's always different depending on the country etc but when we filed our I-129F Travis (petitioner) wasn't working and actually wasn't working until about a month before my interview, lol. We used his Mom as a sponsor and we've had no problems at all with the financial stuff. They're not going to deny you for being unemployed

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPreparing POE
I'm not sure where your POE is going to be, will be a little different everywhere i guess but i can tell you about mine. Mine was at LAX a few weeks ago, i had to wait nearly an hour in line before i saw the CBP officer (this is normal for LAX though, lol). on the plane i filled out the usual customs decl. form and the white I-94. If you're not totally sure which one you'll need just ask the steward/ess on the flight, they should know which one you'll need. When i got to the desk and the CBP officer it only took about ten minutes, he checked my passport, took my customs form and I-94 then opened my yellow envelope from the consulate and checked through all of that stuff. Then he asked me a few simple questions like when the wedding is etc then did my biometrics and stamped my passport and stapled in my I-94. Was very easy and the guy was nice too.
As for flights, i went through a travel agent, I lived in adelaide so i got a one way ticket from Adelaide-Auckland-Los Angeles-Phoenix, cost just under $2000 including a week of travel insurance (i got the travel insurance incase something happened and i had to reschedule my flight or something). Someone else on here though recommended expedia to me a little while ago, there is some very good flights on there, i just don't like to book that kind of thing online.

Make sure you have your yellow envelope in your hand luggage with you. You will need that, passport plus the forms you get on the plane for the poe.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSCARS! I NEED THOUGHTS PLEASE!
I have a lot of old scars on my wrists from when i was younger, i haven't self harmed in about five years though. my doctor was kind enough to write me a letter to take to my medical explaining and stating that in his opinion i would be of no harm to myself or others in the forseeable future. The biggest thing that they want to know is that you will be okay when you get to the USA. You will probably have a couple extra things to complete for your medical but you should be okay. try not to worry, i know it's hard but just try :) I was also on antidepressants earlier in the year, i go on and off them a lot, but i was weaned off of them about a month before my medical, i admitted this to the doctor and he was fine with it. At my consulate interview too they asked about my depression and if i thought it would be a problem and if i had means to access medication in the USA if i needed too.

If you are the USC then yes, you will have to fill one out. If you don't meet the poverty guidlines for your household size then you will need a co sponsor. they will also have to fill one out and both of you will need supporting evidence ie. tax returns, pay stubs, W-2's letter from the bank if you are using savings etc

maybe..I'm in Illinois and i was told to sponsor someone it would need to be $25K, which was not a problem for me.


It differs by household size so i would assume he told you 25k because your household is bigger than two people?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE is LAX on k1 visa

Ditto. LAX on VWP and K1 and absolutely no issues. Quite nice and simple. It was waiting for my bags, then waiting in the customs and then finding my way to get back through security that was painful. I had a 2 1/2 hour layover and it was still close to missing my flight (maybe 1/2 hour till plane left) so that's my main advice, if you have a connecting flight give yourself at least a 3 hour layover.


Very wise advice. On my Uncle's advice, both times i went through LAX i made sure i had min 3 hour lay over so i could make my connecting flight in time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE is LAX on k1 visa
I've been through LAX twice, once on the ESTA visa waiver and once with my K-1. There is usually a bit of a wait to get through customs (they're a really busy airport) but apart from that i've never had any problems, all of the staff that i've ever dealt with have been really friendly and easy to deal with.
