K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi changed my email . Does the Consulate know?

Pardon, I forgot one important bit. 

 

The IV Unit at the US Consulate in Guangzhou never utilizes the Petitioner's email address for anything, 

 

unless the Petitioner contacts the IV Unit via their web-email form thingie .

I suggest you bank some monies and make a new trip late summer, then file again.  Suggest additional budget to pay the chaperone. 

 

Sorry you're gonna have some problems, prior.

impedimente / tia de salida - that makes perfect sense.  

 

So the big trick is to find out if one is on that list, prior to packing the luggage.

no, I am speaking of a D.R. National Human, 

getting through the airport, 

to leave D.R. 

 

The list is maintained there by Customs Control.

it doesn't affect the petition. 

it affects ability to board the plane IN the D.R. 


DarnellMaleChina2013-05-07 19:01:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy foreign wife has bad credit

I have read of this before, for D.R. - 

 

 

it's my understanding that if she is not in some repayment plan 

then 

her name is on a list 

and the list is reviewed at the airport at customs control. 

 

bad credit is one thing, that's ok. 

not being in payment plan for debts is another thing, and that gets one on the list.

Apologies for the brevity of the prior inquiries, from me,
but


Do you have any news of the tracking number?

IMO - when a company overseas sends something to USCIS without a tracking number of any shipper (DHL, UPS, EMS, etc) then that's one thing that smells. Dig a little deeper, and you may find other things that smell.

IMO, having/not having a tracking # is a MAJOR fork in the decision tree for 'whats next' for you to do.

When you received an invoice from them, were there any itemized things, line item details? IF SO - was shipping one of them? If yes, what, in the invoice, was listed in the name of the shipper?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical Exam documents to turn in
prior to 19 march 2013,

the applicant brought all forms to document intake day, and interview day was the next business day.

this 'putting inside of the medical exam packet' - i've never heard of this. medical exam results, only, are put into the medical exam packet. one needs the Guangzhou IV interview letter at the medical exam, to take the medical exam.

when you are learning of it, are you being told by your lass, because she's reading the 001 BBS web portal ? If that's the case, stay away from those ladies, they munge up newbies all the time, on purpose -is a game to them.

after 19 March 2013, there is no splitting into 2 days, one day document intake, one day interview.

Now is all same day. The forms in that link, she brings in on interview day, and that's that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresACTUAL answer for i-864 not speculation
is very rare an I-864 is utilized by the IV Unit when adjudicating the K-1 visa application.

Perhaps you are thinking about the I-134, instead?

For those folk with layovers, it's:
1) get off plane
2) go through immigration and security
3) collect baggage
4) Go through Customs
5) exit international security area
6) drop baggage at the right baggage drop off point (this varies, based on what's on the bag tags)
7) go through next security checkpoint to get into the right terminal
8) get on the plane for the next jaunt.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancee comes tomorrow, question about departure

So just to clarify..1.  .I don't need to contact the ETSA or do anything out of the ordinary?

 

2.  She will go to the airport, check in, and go through security as any normal traveler would at the airport of departure?

 

3.  She'll just show her passport with the visa page? 

1.  NO.

2.  YES

3.  Make certain the airport folks see the k-1 visa, else they will assume 'yet another VWP travel'  when boarding, and that is troublesome at the POE. 


DarnellMaleChina2013-05-28 14:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancee comes tomorrow, question about departure

there's side effects of having a return trip. 

 

USCIS gets a data feed from the airlines about passengers and tickets, and cross-references all on some batch process. 

 

So, sometime after she hits dirt in USA, is best to cancel the return leg of the flight - if'n you are lucky, is possible to get some partial refund. 


DarnellMaleChina2013-05-28 13:23:00

if asked at the CBP desk - she can tell the truth !!!   

 

reminder - the truth ->  It was the cheapest price found that day for the ticket

 

---

re: preflight check in - I suggest not do it, as she's travelling through using the K-1 visa, not the VWP.   The Airlines 'app' not handle that, K-1 visa stuff, at all.

DarnellMaleChina2013-05-29 11:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLast minute checklist before departure tomorrow!

Oh Holy ####### - I forgot one bit. 

 

are all of the kids coming over, this trip? 

and 

 

did each kid get a visa packet from the IV Unit, or no ? 

 

or are they going to seperate K-2 interviews later on?  

 

What I hope you can avoid: 

1.  all visa paperwork on all humans is in one sealed visa packet and

2.  the kids are coming over by plane later .  

 

This will be a problem, as THEIR visa packets might be inside the mom's visa packet.   The only way to be certain is by visibly counting the number of visa packets - so if there be 3 humans, there should be 3 visa packets. 

 

Was some problem with Guangzhou IV on this, late last year, and the petitioner went through h3ll with CBP and USCIS to get it sorted.   His K-2 child came through without a visa packet - his stuff was in his Mom's visa packet, and she came in months earlier.   

 

So, when you get a moment, do a quick visa packet count.  If all she has is ONE - is OK IF all the kids are travelling with her at the same time.  It's not ok if they are coming later, if just one visa packet - she'll need to get back to UB IV and have them rework the packet into a number of packets, asap. 

 

EDIT - nevermind - I just studied the comments in yer timeline in the Embassy review section - looks like the kids will interview later , so they'll get their own visa packet back.  yay !

DarnellMaleChina2013-05-28 23:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLast minute checklist before departure tomorrow!

 

She's flying Ulaanbaatar -> Beijing -> Los Angeles.  While Ulaanbaatar -> Beijing will not be a problem, I seriously doubt they have anyone fluent in Mongolian for Beijing -> Los Angeles.  Would they just look at her passport and fill stuff in for her, without communication, in that case?

 

For secondary, I'll be giving her a home-made phrasebook for her to point to stuff, and an explanation to call me if they need an interpreter, especially if they have trouble getting one for Mongolian (it's not a very common language, obviously).  I am concerned, though, that they won't know what to do with her, and that she will be freaked out, having never left Mongolia before.

'doing with her' will be very obvious, as she's hand-carrying the visa packet for the Department of State, acting as a high-paid (ticket paid by you) courier for the Department of State. 

 

Don't sweat the customs form.  Is rare an immigrant uses it, anyway.  Mostly that's for tourists. 

 


DarnellMaleChina2013-05-28 17:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLast minute checklist before departure tomorrow!

I'm curious about this myself, actually... My fiancee doesn't speak/read English, so how much, exactly, filling out needs to be done for POE on a K-1?  It's nice we can do the I-95 electronically (I can fill it out for her that way), but is there anything special at POE that requires English knowledge?

 

Her English is literally zero.  I'm not entirely sure she knows "hello" or "thank you," even.  Mongolians studied Russian when she was growing up.

Customs form. 

 

Don't sweat this - she can get help on the plane from the air crew. 

 

If really touch-y about this, she can ask for interpreter at secondary - they will hook up the on-call person via telephone .

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLast minute checklist before departure tomorrow!

i hope it is enough time.. My fiance got stuck in the immigration line.. and missed her connecting flight.. she spent night miami but flew out the next morning.. 

You bring up a really nasty issue. 

 

Usually, if the ticket holder is delayed because of immigration, the airline will put the ticket holder on the next flight out, but ya gotta get to the ticket desk at the airport, first.    If it's 'next day' for the next flight out, ask for a hotel voucher, as well.
