CanadaThe Canuck EI Thread
WOW I still can't believe that, I had no idea would could be entitled to EI. This will totally help our situation. I will plough through this thread and find out the information. Thanks again. Another quick question, is the cheque mailed to your US address???

CanadaThe Canuck EI Thread
Sorry I am new here but I just want to make sure I understand this thread. If we move to the States to marry our fiance and quit our jobs we are entitled to EI? Is there somewhere on this thread exactly how to do that? Thanks so much and sorry if you have probably explained this a bazillion times! If I can collect EI that would totally help us out considering we can't work for awhile.

Philippinesdual citizenship
QUOTE (frostysoftyeaton @ May 20 2008, 06:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I am getting ahead of myself but we have talked about retiring to the philippines when we get to that stage i was wondering if she will be allowed to maintain her citizenship there when she gets her citizenship here and what we would have to do to maintain it


I asked my lawyer if I was allowed to have dual citizenship (I'm Canadian) cause I really want to maintain my Canadian citizenship, she advised us that it depends on your birth country if they will allow dual citizenship. She advised that she was pretty sure that Canada allowed dual. You should look into whether or not the Philippines allow dual. If they don't allow dual then I would recommend she keeps her citizenship. My understanding is that you can remain in the US as a permanent resident you don't have to become a US citizen, if I'm wrong please let me know!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG325A - Spent 5 months traveling - no fixed address!!
My fiance had sort of the same kind of problem. For the first two years of our relationship he was a pro athelete and travelled all over and he couldnt remember the exact addresses where he lived so what he did was just put the timeframe and put where he was so for example, September 2007-December 2007 Atlantic City NJ. I hope this helps!

Scary but true fact about my relationship with Tan: 1 yahoo chat is 3-5 hours long and just ONE chat log comes out to around 30 pages!!!! Should I really include these in my I-129 packet?????

Further, is there a way to edit these yahoo chats or emails? When I try to put them in Word or another program, I lose the emoticons blush.gif <~~~these little dealies - and I didn't want them to look "messed" with, you know what I mean?

On the OTHER HAND, while I am sure they don't have the time to read 4 hour chat logs, we say many non-PC things to each other (I call him my slanty eye jungle boy and he calls me "the other white meat") further, we won't even MENTION the sex talk that goes on, plus of course, talking about his interview, plus tons of cussing, etc etc etc etc.......

Same problem with our emails, very very candid. How does everyone else get around this? Certainly I am not the ONLY person talking dirty in my chats and emails to my loved one .... AM I?? devil.gif hihihihi

Thanks for your help!

Heck no! For the initial filing, you don't need to provide ANY evidence of a bona fide ongoing relationship. The key is your two original signed letters of intent and evidence of meeting in person within the last two years.

Save your bona fide relationship evidence for the interview. Even then, logs of chats and some examples of the text scattered through the relationship (maybe one a month) are enough for that kind of evidence. Actual visits are the best evidence of bona fides, not boxes full of printed paper.


6. Any other relevant documentation to establish that there is an ongoing marital union

It doesn't say to send some of them but many people do. I was advised to send a few.


We were told to send documentation of our relationship which included, pictures of us as well as pictures of us with our families, phone records (we just provided his cell phone records and then I provided proof of my phone numbers), emails and airline tickets!

The K1 petition you dont really need chat logs or emails as they dont show proof you have met in person. What the USCIS is after is boarding passes, passport stamps,hotel receipts, photos together, etc.

If it makes you more at ease use phone bills and letters with the postage stamp for proof of on going relationship.

If you do use the chat logs or emails and there a bit sexuall lol, just stroke them out with a marker pen. Im sure they have seen a few good ones haha.

Good luck.

yes.gif

I did include a selection of letters and e-mails in my petition; probably wasn't necessary but it made me feel slightly more comfortable. I didn't include many, though, just 3-5 example pages and I used a black marker to block out any sexual stuff.



I sent emails but what I did was copied and pasted just the heading of the emails and not the actualy email content into a word document. So there would be around 10 or so headings per page. Our lawyer advised us to do it that way so that we didn't provide the actual emails. All you have to show is who the email was from and who it was sent to and date.

Within about 8-10 days call NVC at (603) 334-0700 you can ask them for your case number. From there they will also be sending your petition to the embassy in your finances country.
nadi2444Not TellingJamaica2013-05-21 19:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCSC Approved

your next step is to wait about 10-14 days for the NVC to get your files, you can call them periodically to see if they have received it, if so ask them for your case number once you have that you will be able to track your case as it goes on to the embassey in your fiance's country.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPreparing for the US Embassy on Jamaica... can you help?
To answer question about non impedement form yes it is required and mandatory you can obtain it from the same place that issues the birth certificates in that area.

The online process for the forms are perfect! Although with the 157 you have to bring in a paper copy as well to the interview. The DS-230 fill that out ASAP! I had my fiancé sighn it and return it to me as soon as I new I was approved. This way I could email it to them the moment I got my KNG number from DOS. The sooner you email the DS-230 the sooner your interview is scheduled usually 5 weeks from the date they receive your emailed DS-230

I was in administrative processing for 5 weeks after my interview and the same thing happened to me where my creation date changed to July 1st.....I think this happened because after the interview your case is "created" at the embassy level.

Part II of the ds-230 is not required for the K-1. You should follow the instructions exactly as they say. The other fos like 156......

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshelp misspelled name on fiancee's birth certificate
I personally would not fix it this late in the game. Because it will take a long time to make the corrections on all her forms especially the birth certificate. I know someone who filled for the k-1 and their year of birth was wrong by an entire year! So they just used that year of birth on all forms. This is something you can correct if you choose later down the line when your fiancé is permanent. Do not change it now!

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.
