K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresJust received packet 3 email, really confused!
Every embassy is different. I had to send the ds230 via email wich I did and that allowed my embassy in Jamaica to schedule the interview once they revived the ds230. All the other forms listed has to be hand carried to the embassy at time of interview. I recommend you email your embassy for clarity. As for the medical yes your instructions show he has to go to all three doctors for medical blood work and X-ray unfortunately.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP PLZ!!! K1 DEADLINE PROBLEM
My fiancé never received his packet either however I emailed the embassy and told them I wavy a duplicate copy of everything they mailed to him and they sent it to me next day. If the appointment for interview is July 4th he will not have enough time to process everything. The medical needs a 10 day advanced appt. without that the interview will not be approved. Inbox me for more info

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion for those that have received K-1 visa
The visa will not be issued same day as interview. If your fiancé passes the interview he will be told that during interview. He will have to leave his passport and the visa is usually available 2-3 weeks later. Check consulate review tab on this website.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRFE Letter Received
Today I have received my I-128F RFE took them 5 days to send it to me which was nice!!! usually people get them within 15 days..

I'm currently 22 years old and my Fiancee is 17 .... I got a letter stating that

BENEFICIARY IS UNDER 18

Information you provided on your Form I-129F indicates that the Petitioner/beneficary is under age 18. Please identify the in which you intend to celebrate your marriage, and submit a copy of the relevant state's marriage laws permitting a person of the petitioner/beneficary has obtained parental consent in accordance with state law.

State of New Jersey law 37:1-6

A marriage or civil union license shall not be issued to a minor under the age of 18 years, unless the parents or guardian of the minor, if there be any, first certify under their hands and seals, in the presence of two reputable witnesses.

So I have sent the document of parents consent with the original copy translated in English and the Birth certificate showing the parents of my fiancee. I also have sent the law of New Jersey.

I just curious the document of the parents consent was notaries and sealed but the only problem is that there is no two witnesses. I think it not necessary into me and her get married, I will be traveling back on December 30 and I have a document from health department of new jersey so we could all sign and with the two witness. This will give me the ability to make an appointment when she arrives to united states.

My understanding is USCIS they just want to make sure that parents have consent that I could marry her when she arrives??? I have sent the papers already, just need advice...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 APPROVED

Congrats!!! We seem to be going through the same process at the same time. My NOA2 was approved November 15th and I started calling NVC last week to see if they have received the papers but nothing yet. They told me it can take up to 8 weeks so I will keep calling and keep you updated so you can have an estimate. The not knowing on how long they will take or not knowing when I will be together with my fiance is depressing, but hopefully the process goes by fast. In the mean time, you and your fiancee can start getting the paperwork together. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to ask me.  

 

  Good luck! 

 

I have called today just to see what they said.... They have told me USCIS send chunks to NVC let see and wait!!! Great thing we got approved now, just need one more approval!!!

Today USCIS have look into my application for my lovely fiancee. I have an email stating they need request for evidence which i am was pretty upset. I have thought I have gave everything to them. At the moment I'm worry about the whole thing i sent everything between me and her, like love letter, Pictures me and her family, Phone call and video chat, Supporting her overseas etc.. There was one thing I might have miss which was her parents authorization, my fiancee is 17 years old and I am 22 years old. I have already ask there parents for the permission and they said yes. We have went to get a letter notarize from Dominican Republic. I didn't send that piece of information because it wasn't necessary. I really stressing out about this. Could anyone could give me advice please, I really want my fiancee here with me and I know that USCIS have there hands on my relationship at the moment. :(

Sometimes it takes Montreal awhile to acknowledge your P3. A lot of the numbers on the spreadsheet are just an average of one week later, but for example, mine took almost a month for them to finally acknowledge (even though I had the tracking to prove it had been delivered).



Thank you everyone for all the information. Can I just give them my montreal case number or do I have to give them the other number (NVC#)? If I have to give them my NVC number where do I find that? I'm so confused!

Hi Everyone! I am a new member. I sent out my package 3 to Montreal on May 12, 2008. I know through Canada Post that they have delivered my package but how can I tell if it is in the system in Montreal. The reason why I am so worried about it is because the Montreal Consulate told us that they mailed my package 3 to me and my lawyer on March 15, 2008 but we never received it and they had to mail us another package which we ended up receiving at the end of April. I am really worried that they are going to mail my interview date and we won't recieve it like we didn't recieve the first package 3. Thanks!

Maybe I am wrong and please correct me if I am but aren't they giving out these vaccinations to 8th grade girls for no charge so how can they go about charging older women to get the vaccinations. I am 28 so I don't have to get the vaccination, I don't really have an opinion about it but maybe I would if I was forced to get it. But who came up with that age anyways, under 27 seems like a funny age to pick!

why is it illegal to have two different DLs? I really don't know why I want to keep my ON DL but I was going to change my name on my ON DL. I guess it doesn't really matter if I don't have it, I guess I just wanted it as a keepsake or something. I'm weird, I know!

umm cause it would be almost like having two different identities...


really? I don't know why but that doesn't make any sense to me. What about if you have dual citizenship, are you not allowed to have to 2 different passports, lets say a Canadian Passport and an American Passport?


You can have two passports as proof for citizenship, but you won't be able to have two passports for two different countries in two different names without raising suspicion, you know what I am saying? If they are both in your married name, or both in your maiden name, it's not a big deal. Same with driver's licenses.

People use DL's or state ID's with different names as aliases in crimes all the time. They are super sensitive about this at the DMV, hence you having to hand over your old DL in your maiden name.


No I know you can't have them in two different names (maiden and married) but you can have two with the same name right? I guess that was my question and I wasn't clear about it! I understand people would use them for crimes and they would be suspicious of it but I guess I didn't understand why you couldn't have them if they were both in your married name or lets say both in your maiden name if you didn't change your last name.

At some point you're going to get a DL in the US, and depending on where you're going to live, you can use your passport, just remember to always bring your marriage certificate. I'd order a couple of certified copies so that if you lose one, you'll still have another.

Getting a DL, depending on where you live could be a nightmare...fair warning.





Just wanted to say that in CT they treat your CDN licence as an out of state licence.. so there's no written test or driving test just an eye test (so bring glasses if you need them to drive). Another note, I went on a Saturday to the DMV but they couldn't verify my paperwork with USCIS (or whoever they verifiy your immigration status with) cause it was a non-business day adn they said responses are slow on weekends and evenings, so my recommendation is to do the DMV during daytime hours.. it was a snap here in CT... so no problems!!! Oh and they took my CDN drivers licence.. i never got it back.


Oh thank you so much for the information on the CT DL, I thought I would have to do a test or something. So just an eye test. Now did you have to show that you had valid CT insurance as well? They took your Canadian DL? Are you from Ontario? or another province? I just wondered if it varied from province to province? I was hoping to keep my Ontario DL!

Just to clear up this EI thing....

You must apply within a month of quitting your job whether you're still in Canada or in the US. Don't wait for your ROE, you just send it in when you get it. You can apply on-line.

Other than the 2 week waiting period, you'll get monies from then until your I-94 expires. Then the benefits are suspended until you get your EAD. Then they resume. You can't report on-line...they'll send you cards.

The Belleville office processes out of country claims and they're helpful if you run into questions that you can't find answers for.

I'm just clarifying the "until I move to the US.." which might be longer than 30 days since you've been unemployed. You'll run the risk of not being eligible if you wait too long.



Thank you for the clarification. My plan was to work up to a couple of days before I was to leave and then apply as soon as I get down to our place in CT so probably apply within a week or two of quitting.

I will be living in Connecticut. I guess my concern is that I know I won't be able to work right away as I have to wait for my SSN and what not so I was wondering if I should still start applying before I get the authorization to work? (sorry I don't know all the names and what not for that stuff).

YEAHHHHH Another Nutmegger!!!! You do realize that CT is where Insurance started in the US right? the heads of many Insurance co's are in Hartford smile.gif So if you are moving close to Hartford then you are all set!!!

If you are moving near New Haven.. the word on the street is to get on with temp agencies that place people into Yale - it's employees get AMAZING benefits (try 1 month off vacation a YEAR), etc.. so it's the most desired place to work and they have all KINDS of different jobs to do over there..

I had no problems finding work in CT.. seems like a dedicated, hardworking and intelligent worker is difficult to find in these parts (who knew).. the hardest thing in CT is to actually find a job that pays well... that's the trick.. it's an expensive state so you need to make 15$-20$ an hour to even think about it being worth it!!

http://www.ctjobs.com/

http://www.kaiserwhitney.com/


thank you so much, finally another person in CT!!! I know that Hartford is the Insurance Capital of North America but for me to drive into Hartford from where I will be is aroundan hour or more! We are in Redding, CT! I don't know how far away we are from New Haven (not too familiar with CT). But I definitely like the idea of 1 month vacation!!!

I know that CT is expensive, gosh just by looking at the prices of houses I almost had a heart attack! How do people afford to live there! That is good to know about the hourly wage, thank you!

Thanks for the websites, I will keep them handy when I start to look for work. Still waiting on my interview! Just a quick question is the second website you gave me a temp agency??? Thanks again.


Yep the second is a temp agency that fills positions at Yale.. but yep.. New Haven will be further for you than Hartford.. and from where you'll be geographically the traffic to Hartford would be attrocious!! Danbury will be your closest "big" city.. haven't tried a job search there, but CT jobs might be a place to start! smile.gif People here find it pretty hard to make ends meet here.. We struggle, but make ends meet by getting stuff for free or almost free with CVS (drugstore) and shopping at Aldi's (super discount food place), and just watching the gas we use (it's 4.14 a gallon here tonite) UGH>. anyway, I'll help ya out as much as I can with the "do's and don'ts"!! I'm just thrilled there's another CDN out there in CT!! YEAH!!!


Yeah I talked to my fiance tonight and he said that New Haven is a bit of a hike and so is Hartford where we are right now. I don't anticipate we will stay in Redding forever, since my fiance has to be within so many miles from work that will limit me as to where I can work but if I do end up working in Hartford our plan would be to move somewhere that is between Hartford and Newtown. I have heard that CT is very expensive and it does worry me especially since I am moving there without a job. I would absolutely love to know the dos and donts especially when it comes to saving money! I am totally thrilled that there is another CDN down in CT!
