K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary 2010 K-1 VSC
As MAPT says, VSC is a complete ####### shoot.. We saw Dec 20th NOA1's being approved before Dec 2nd, etc...

It's a warped game of musical chairs, you just gotta home your box ends up on the desk of the adjudicator that's ready to plow through em'..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOctober 2009 K-1 Visa filers

I have questions about all this financial stuff too. My parents are going to co sponsor, so that's not problem. Nowhere on the I-134 does it say what documentation I'm supposed to have like bank statements and that sort of thing. So why do I have to send them? Do I have to get noterized copies of my tax information AND my parents'? It's all very confusing...do I have to do all of that stuff for both copies of the I-134 that I send in?
Thanks guys,
Sorry I'm so whiny, but I'm just so confused and overwhelmed by all of this.

Oh, and Does he have to take the copy of the 1-129F with him to the interview??
And what is a "Police Certificate" and does he need one if he has no criminal record? If he does, how does he go about getting one???

J


1) You'll want tax transcripts (Google or check the IRS website for what these are) for both you and your co-sponsors.

2) You'll fill out two copies of the I-134, spend time to make sure you fill them in correctly and that the information is the same on both (minus the financial differences)

3) If you're "paranoid" you can also print out a few pay stubs for both you and co-sponsor.

4) I-129F is not needed

5) Police Certificate/NBI Clearance I am pretty sure that's if your fiancee has lived out of her respected country (ie; lived in France) for a specific amount of time. Check out the embassy's website for more information.

Best of luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2009 K1 CSC Filers

Hello Everyone,

While I am happy about everyone else's progress on Packet 3, medical exams, etc., is there anyone on this forum like me that filed in November and is still waiting on their NOA2?

I filed Nov 23rd, got a touch on Nov 26th, and nothing since. Next week will make it four months and while I am trying to adopt a Zen attitude about this whole process it is starting to get a little scary. I feel like I'm the only VisaJourney November filer that hasn't had my application touched since November. Someone posted on this forum before how they basically lost his app - after five months he called and they said it had "timed out" and he had to start all over again - very scary stuff:(

Mike


Mike,

It might be worth your time to try and call the CSC.. Clearly California is out of whack.. As you can see from other's timelines they are processing Jan & Feb filers at this point and may have somehow misplaced your application..

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFebruary 2010 Filers - California Service Center

Hey everyone :)

Hope you're all having a great holiday weekend!

I'm compiling a folder with all the required documents and relationship evidence in preparation for my interview. I was just wondering how much stuff people are including with regards to evidence - I'm sure I'm probably overdoing it but I don't want to leave anything out in case it might be important! LOL. Well, here are the things I'm including:

Photos (tons of them from all 5 of our visits to each other)
Phone bills
Emails from 2009
Emails from 2010
Boarding passes / e-tickets from our trips
Receipts from our visits
Photocopies of passport pages showing US entry stamps
Chat transcripts
Wedding venue contract with both our names on (not sure if this will be useful or not, but didn't think it could hurt!)

I was just really wondering how much of any one type of evidence other people are planning to take to their interviews... I know the interviewing consular officer is probably gonna get bored after looking at even 3 of our photos, so they'd never in a million years look at all of them! (that won't stop me including them, though, haha). But how many emails do you think I should include? The folder has 40 plastic wallets and I've gone through labelling sections so that I can find things relatively easily when/if required. I've allowed 4 plastic wallets for emails from 2009 and the same for emails from 2010, and about the same for phone bills and chat transcripts. Is this roughly what other people are including?

As an aside: I don't think I've ever been so organised in my life! I don't even have an interview date yet! This really isn't like me... :D

Emi :star:


You can also request tax transcripts through the IRS online.. It's better to bring those then the tax returns. Anyone can fudge a tax return, much harder to fudge an official tax transcript from the IRS.

Are you planning on bringing your fiancee back when you travel next?? I sure don't know that we could bear it if we couldn't be coming back to USA for the wedding if we were in your shoes!

:star:


LOL I wish Milagros was coming back with me next week, but she's hell bent on taking the nursing boards before she goes.. So July 4 & 5 she takes the nursing boards, July 6 she flies from Davao City to Manila, and July 7th she's flying into JFK.. So it's going to be 59 days between the day I leave her in Davao :crying: to the day I pick her up at JFK :dance:

It'll go fast.. (I hope)

I just want to wish all the February filers good luck with their journey. Please go in expecting a 4 month waiting and being delighted with anything shorter. It's been a long couple of months for us December filers and the November filers can attest that the VSC just isn't cranking K1's out as quick as they once were. There are many reports of the CSC being quicker which is true, but please don't let it get you down. Keep your heads up and the positivity flowing! :thumbs:

Jared,

That's over 90 days after POE. Are you going to have a civil ceremony before that?

On another note. We need to start AOS thread for all of us, December VSC filers. I can do that if you guys agree.

Cheers


Wedding and Marriage are two different dates.. Getting "married" maybe 9/9.. Wedding with family, etc is 10/23..

Yeah we should do an AOS group if you don't mind.. I know I'll be having questions..

How's life?

I'm so happy for you my friend..

I've been MIA for a few weeks, but have good news...VISA APPROVED!!! :dance: :dance: Carol will arrive in US on July 17.
The CO had many questions for each of us, but the waiting was the hard part. Carol received her visa in Cali on June 29, 12 days after the interview. I am so glad that this is over and I can relax for a couple of months. Many thanks for everyone's help and support.

Congrats to everyone that had their visa approved and received NOA2.

Thanks for the encouragement... I had already contacted one of my senators, and even they told me that I had to wait for the official processing time to expire before they could do anything for me.

I guess at this point I have nothing to lose, so I will contact them (and my other senator) again.

Thanks for teh suggestion... Anything and everything is worth a try.


Sh*t you guys are still waiting???

They seriously need to fix this situation, people in Jan/Feb/March are being approved and your petition is still there.. :wow:

A senator is probably the only person that can really help you at this point....

Man I'm really sorry, that's just an awful situation.. They really need to institute a FIFO setup for all immigration petitions. This lottery system is just so unfair.

Good luck!

Charlie,

You're going to have to keep us kano's going even after Pam gets there.. I remember seeing your posts from a few months ago when you were about to start pulling out your hair waiting on the NOA2. I'm about there brother, it's only been 2 months but it feels like even longer. I got back almost 3 weeks ago from a trip, meeting my fiancee in Hong Kong.. I'm going back on May 1st to meet up with her in Manila and spend a few days in Bohol. My sweetie is so excited to see the tarsiers on Bohol Island :wub:

Congrats and best of wishes to you both!

Few months gap each child can work it out. :D Before the eldest first birthday, another one is on the way. :rofl:


LOL, you laugh at this.. But I have a feeling my May is going to be wanting 3 kids in a row.. She's already planning on getting me one of those baby slings to carry the kids around in.. We saw a really chubby baby in Davao and she informed me that she doesn't want to carry a heavy baby and it would look much cuter if I carry em'... :wub:

This will be me...
