K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDiferrence Age
I don't think 3 years will be a problem. Some members have more than 10 years of age gap but they got approved.... i think 3 years is not bad at all B-)
disney09MalePhilippines2011-10-09 16:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLength of processing
Some cases were approved faster than the others because they were expedited for some valid reasons.. and some are lucky to have their cases approved within 2-3 months :))

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I have the medical exam even without the letter form the embassy?
You don't need to have your Eligibility Letter from the embassy to have your medical done that would be an additional wait.

BTW, same name =)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExcessive Chat Log - Too Many Pages
On my experience, I printed at least two pages of chat logs, emails and skype calls per month but the pre-screener and the consular officer didn't bother to look at them. I felt like I just wasted ink :) But it's better to be ready anyway! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat do they usually ask in the immigration im my port of entry..(Hawaii)
My POE was in Honolulu. They asked me few questions like when is our wedding, name of my petitioner, what is our address and how long does the K1 visa is valid. They took the Xray cd too.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProblems with K-1 visa Entry
That's what we did, but I've been tempted to get married in the PHils for fear of taking so long. We had our engagement party, catered by a close friend, and had so many happy friends and family to celebrate with. I hope that it was our engagement, and not just all the Red Horse and San Miguel Lite, that made the partygoers merry! Heh heh!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCHAT LOGS FOR K1
We used our Facebook chats, and archived them, forwarded them to my email. From there I copied & pasted to a Word document and deleted the racy comments (heh heh!) and petty arguments, and minimized the font size. Minimizing alone cut the number of pages in half. I think what I'll do for the interview is just provide a few extra chats since we sent the petition. I remember someone mentioning that the Service Center is required to go over every paper and form sometimes, so maybe it would have been a better idea not to send 65 pages of chats. Not sure what the interviewer will require. Love to hear from more VJ'ers. Good luck!

Congrats! Just got our NOA2 today! From what I've gathered send as much as possible to your fiance/e now, and then more as needed. I brought all my info to my fiancee in December, but I forgot it in a trike. I was so mad at myself. . . .couple months later, an honest trike driver brought it back to her address! Whodathunkit!?

I think you should get as much done as soon as possible, but there are more experienced VJ'rs here. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan anyone answer this question? Please and thank you :)

We're planning on getting Maui'd as well.  Hopefully in July after my fiancee arrives in. . . (prayerfully) June!  Woohoo!  Good luck to you both!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen can I schedule my interview?

We're right behind you.  After we pay the visa fee I think it's this site that you can sign-up with (create username/password) the # on the BPI payment slip, and then you can schedule your appointment:  https://cgifederal.secure.force.com

 

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!


kambingasoMalePhilippines2013-05-05 21:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlease help! I'm still in INITIAL REVIEW after they touch our paper.

Man, oh, man!  That's the same kind of stuff I was freaking out about--and mine actually said, "Approved!"  And I still couldn't breathe easily.

 

Just keep checking, even late into the evening.  Hope it's an approval, and then you can freak out, but in a good way!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNA02- Phils (merged topics)

We're hoping to schedule our interview for early June, but I booked my return flight for the end of July.  If we get our Visa earlier, I'll change my return ticket.  For me, it should be painless, because I purchased Insurance on my flight on Hawaiian.  I'm not sure if there's something similar with UA, but I'd look into it if I were you.  I anticipated changing my flight, and I'd rather pay the roughly $100 that Haw'n charges than have to pay that enormous change-fee that you mentioned.

 

I hope you can get something like that for your flight!  Here's hoping to getting our approvals early, and having the luxury to choose the best return flight options!  Woohoo!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCFO Signature (Legal Guardian)

What age is the fiancee?  The difference is the parental consent letter and the parental advice letter (see guides and forms).  I forget the exact age, but my fiancee had to get the latter, being that she's 23.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresconfused...as always

I'm having trouble scheduling the interview online!  I created a user name, profile, and it keeps booting me to the travel.state.gov site, or the option to actually schedule disappears. . . . not very user friendly!  


kambingasoMalePhilippines2013-05-14 20:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConcerned

I think she should be fine. I imagine it would be nice to be there so if she brings her phone by accident then you can bring it back to the hotel, etc.  Many on VJ have done it solo and reported on it.  Good luck!

 

I set our Interview for June 10th!  Can't wait!


kambingasoMalePhilippines2013-05-15 19:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy fiance is upset

I'm sure she will make new friends while waiting in line, and they'll all be rooting for one another.  Everyone's in the same sort of boat.

 

If my fiancee were to do the interview alone, it would be a good thing she can't bring her electronics in, because she might miss her number being called with her headphones on--heh heh!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBiggest Age Difference
We're 27 yrs. apart, and I thiiiiiiiiink we just got our NOA2 today. I don't think it'll be a problem. . . we're soul mates. We BOTH act like kids--heh heh!

You're trying to figure out what your RFE was for? From what I've read it could be something silly like you put your middle initial on the app, but forgot it on your signature! Waitaminute. . . Dang! I hope my noa2 isn't an RFE, because I may have forgotten that! Aieeeee!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresnic name

Yeah, make sure as much of the evidence has her real name.  They may do a search of some kind, at any stage, of any other names she may have used. I've had many nicknames throughout my life.  Hope that pose a problem--heh heh!

Wow!  Be strong!  I really feel for you.   I agree about taking some time to make a decision.  Speak with her and find out what's going on.  Maybe he highjacked her phone. . . .sounds like it would be hard to stay together even if this whole thing could be worked out.  Best of luck to you in your decision.  God bless.

Hi all vj members,
Very new to this site so all help and comments are most appreciative. Let me first say that finding this site was a pure blessing now trying to figure out and using it will be challenging. Anyways, Kaori and I have submitted our K-1 fiance petition to the CSC on May 11, 2009. Following the tracking info they received the package on May 14. We are being patience but i would assume that I would receive a notice by now. Should we wait a little longer or make a call and see whats going on? From reading some previous posts it would seem that something would have arrived now but maybe their busy or just taking their time? Any advice?


Welcome to the journey!
My NOA1 came in fast but I think it depends on the case and the person reviewing it.
Don't worry about it too much. Its only the beginning. It takes much longer for the NOA2 to come in.
Then again, it all depends. You can't guarantee anything.
Anyway, hang in there! and good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI129F Beyond Processing Time
ugh, my laptop messed up.

Hey, I'm a September filer. My approval of the I129F was in mid-April.
My fiance called the USCIS when it was processing and they told him the same thing. Just wait. I thought the same thing and got very frustrated with them. I mean, a lot of people were getting approved before me! And they say they're working on cases in order. I don't think thats true.
But it seems like they don't need anything else from you. I guess all you can do is wait. I'm guessing you'll get approved soon. You should start gathering papers needed for the interview if you haven't done that already.
And yes, getting a short term job in Japan is very difficult. I really hope they would speed up the process and get to your case!
Anyway, good luck!
