K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Interview
QUOTE (andria @ Dec 1 2009, 05:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi everyone, I am Andria and I just joined visa journey. I really need some support. My husband is filing for me to come to the US to live with him and it seems as if the papers will reach the Jamaican embassy soon. I am so anxious and nervous about this visa interview. First of all I need to know all the documents that you think they will need and as much questions you know, that you think, they will ask me. I also have a major problem my mom did not know her correct name until she was 31 years old by that time all her kids were already born and her name that she knew growing up is on all our birth certificates. I want to know how much of a problem this is and how much of a negative impact this will have on the visa interview? I am awaiting your response. Thank you

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPaying the visa fee

I received the visa appointment checklist and we have our interview on May 10 in Kingston, Jamaica. It states that we must pay the non-refundable US$131 visa fee. I am assuming that we need to pay this prior to the interview and take the receipt with us, is this correct? Then at the interview, hopefully it will be approved, we have to pay the DHL fee for delivery? Thanks to anyone who can clarify for me!




yes the visa fee is paid first you pay it at the ncb and dhl is after approval it was 10 us or 750 ja in november for ours

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCoSponsor for K-1

Yes, your father can block out all but the last four digits of his SS# on the tax transcripts. But if the 134 form request a SS number he will have to supply the correct 9 digits. Most petitioner tend to go JA for the interview date, so they hand carry their 134 forms.

The K1's do not send their forms to NVC, everything is given directly to the Consular at the interview.



the forms do go through nvc for K1 a few people got hung up in processing through the nvc

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMailing I-175 Question

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMailing I-175 Question

The 90 day window for ROC on my permanent residence starts on July 4th. My husband is set supposed to deploy again later in the year (no orders cut yet) so we want to get our paperwork in as soon as possible. We have everything ready and just need to mail it off. Being that the 4th of July is a Sunday we were thinking about mailing it off on the 3rd which is the Saturday before. If we send it on the Saturday we're hoping it will get there by the Tuesday or Wednesday (Monday the 5th will be a holiday) and we can get the ball rolling on the process before the end of the short week.

My question to anyone who can answer is, do they go by the date you send or the date they receive the package? We just want to make sure if that's o.k. before we do it so they don't send it back for being too early.

Thanks.

Yeah, they use the little signature flag in Adobe, which could lead one to believe that the form can be electronically signed. But if you notice, there's no "submit" button anywhere on the form.

Anyway, since you're posting this in a K-1 forum, I presume you're referring to the I-134 Affidavit of Support, which the


ds230 part one can be scanned and emailed ....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFiling For kids

Total cost would be $1012.00 per applicant.

$420.00 filing fee
$088.00 affidavit of support application fee
$404.00 immigrant visa fee. How u got $350? Please advised.
$100.00 medical fee as u said.

If over 16 years old a police report is required. Airfare - unknown.



how i got 350 was someone who just filed for a child. that is what she had said she paid . thank you for your info

They're applying for K2...not IR2. So the $404 does not apply to them (btw, the $404 already includes the $88 affidavit of support fee).



my3rmylife, if you already filed the I-129F and the child(ren) is/are listed on the form, the petition fee is $340 (if I understand your situation correctly, you already paid for this).

At the Embassy stage, the visa fee is $350. The medical fee depends on the fees imposed by the medical clinic at the country of origin. If there is a visa delivery fee, it is paid of each child included in the petition. Ricardo4Eva is correct about the police clearance, the child(ren) need to provide one if they are 16 or older. You can only petition the child if they are below 18 by the time you and their parent get married.

Later, when the child(ren) arrive(s) in the US, they will need to apply for adjustment of status, same as their parent. Fees depend on how old the child(ren) is/are and if s/he/they will be applying at the same time as their parent.

If their parent already filed for adjustment of status and is approved, then the children must undergo a different visa application process.



no the parent is here and has already adjusted

Make sure he remains FIRMLY to that!!! The doctors may press him to admit he used to smoke or tried ganja in the past, if he says he did, they'll deny him.

Good luck!!!

We go through to the desk get our number . we go inside and sit we are chatting and didnt noticve our number was on the screen ...We noticed after a moment the lady said you were right there and didnt come up right away she then said we need to pay attention.. So she asks for all the forms we give them to her she askes if he has ever been married he said no.. then she asks me i said no then she says so this would be your first marrige i said yes . Then she asked me again have i ever been married i said no .She aske him my name and he pronounced it wrong i was like OMG .Then she was looking through the forms and my co sponsor forgot
his tax return and she said they couldnt use him ...I started to get so nervous because I was sure i needed the co sponsor.. SHe tell us to si and watch for the number to be called then she clls me back and asks for his passportport wich was in my hand i was so nervous i didnt realize and started looking for it finally i realize it was in my hand she smiled and said it was in your hand wasnt it..I said yes maam she typed something from the passport and handed it back and told me to have a seat.. So as we are wating i see that one window seems to be doing the final interviews. As I am watching and listening i was so nervous Ricky was trying to calm my nerves . The interview guy was giving out blue slips left and right..Ricky was talking about our plans later in the day the week and for life and this helped me he made me laugh alot.. there was this guy walking around directing people and he walks up to me while we are waiting and asked me when i leave i said friday he said you know he wont get to go with you > he then say no travel plans till visa is in hand i said yes i know ...Ricky said to me when the guy left im so confident we could make plans . They call our number we go to the window we get sworn in .The man said to Ricky who is filing for you he Jessica Puckett.The man had him write my name and sign the paper below it then turns to me and says are you Jessica I said yes . He then asks me to sit down and tells Ricky to pick up the phone.
Question asked
How did we meet? He saisd va at the pool i worked
Did she work for the same company or did i live in the area? He said she lived in the area
where does she work? Walmart
what does she do at work ? Im not sure of the exact title but its in the customer service area

I will be submitting our I-129F packet in a couple short weeks (fiancee will be signing while I'm in JA). I didn't think that I would experience nervousness...

Don't get me wrong, I'm so excited about my sweetheart being here and us starting our lives together - its just all of the unknowns (marital success, employment, extended family, etc.)...

I'm curious, has anyone had these feelings, concerns/fears?? Did you share this with your fiance(e)?

Hello All

I filed the K-1 visa 5months again, it hasn't been touched in 4months. Does anyone have any experience with filing a K-1 visa with the California Service Center and how long it takes to get the NOA2?


Thanks



everyone's case is different my for example Your I-129f was approved in 133 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 238 days from your I-129F NOA1 date. while others were longer ...and some went extremely fast there are times when they will fly through a bunch of petitions and then there are some when they move slow.
