K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Denied today!!! HELP!!!!
sorry about what happed to u .i think they are trying to play safe with u, in the sense that they want u to get married and by getting married, u will b more committed and the risk of this man absconding would b minimal. am sorry to say this but am trying to think like them. I think u should consult a lawyer who has experience in this area, never give up, it happens to someone I know and atlast he was able to bring is patner back. this is long time ago and 2001 to b precise, he married 2 women previously and filled for one of them which they divorce after just few years. stay strong and get a lawyer.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresResponse From Congressional office

Last week I contacted my congressman's office to help inquire about my case - this was the response from  USCIS to the congressmans representative -

 

I received the following response from the USCIS:

 

This Petition for Alien Fiancé (e) (Form I-129F), Receipt Number , is currently Outside Normal Processing Time.

 

I will request that this petition be expedited on that basis.

 

 

Should I get excited? I am so tired of waiting and today is 207 days :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa for international student in Australia
Thanks a lot for your help. However, she came to Australia when she was 17.5 years old. She wanted to prepared for single certificate; however, her parents asked for it in Vietnam, the Vietnamese government in Vietnam said "she came to aus before she turned 18 so they cannot help her to provide evidence. The vietnam embassy in sydney told her that she can contact australian birth, death, married to get a no record of married in aus since they cannot obtain her the single certificate. So what should she do?

Hi there, I'm applying for a K1 visa for my girlfriend in Australia. She is currently studying in Uni in Australia as an international student. She came there when she was 17 years old to study high school. She's been there for 6.5 years now. Is it possible for her to get her interview in Sydney embassy instead of going back to her country in Vietnam?


Thanks for your help?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresObtaining copy of Divorce Decree from California
Hello there, i think you need to ask ur fiance to get the no record of marriage in his state first.
A letter by the local vital statistics office certifying that no marriage license or marriage
certificate of the applicant is found within the state where the applicant is residing in. The
search period must be started from the year when the applicant was 18-year-old to present. In
case the applicant was divorced, or a previous spouse is deceased, a certified photocopy of
death certificate must be submitted. (This requirement may vary from province to province).

Affidavit of Single Status. The applicant can request this document from the civil registry in
the state in which he resides or complete an affidavit at the U.S. Consulate. This document
must be signed within three months of application for a marriage certificate. The
notarization fee at the U.S. Consulate is $30 USD. If the applicant had a previous marriage,
present an authenticated copy of the divorce decree or death certificate for the previous
spouse(s);

Hi! Thanks for the positive response. You and your girl are so adorbss.. Just had to. Haha! Anyway, I agree with you and I definitely know how you feel. My fiance and I skype each other everyday, even while we sleep. :) Did you file your petition yet? Is there any specific address that we need to send the I-129F? :)


I would reccomend you follow the guides on this site...I was on the verge of hiring a "Visa Service" to complete my petition...and through the process of vetting the company I relayed to the preparer all I had learned from this site...he was actually surprised that I knew so much of the process and excatly what items I needed. He confirmed for me indirectly that the guide on VJ is spot on

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMoney Remittance

IMHO, this won't look good at all.

First, generally the USC is better off financially.

Second, it's a K1 so you're not maintaining a household.

Third, the appearance is that you're paying him for a GC.


I have to agree with this statement...it looks suspicious....proof of ongoing is just your emails, texts, im chats, and phone logs

that would be if beneficiary is sending money to us petitioner, kinda hard to buy a visa if you are the one receiving money :)


actually it can look like the petitioner is buying a "mail order bride" think about it...when has money ever been considered a measuring stick for emotional involvement? it looks bad...proof of ongoing relationship is text messages, phone logs, emails, letters etc

They want to see consistency in your potential to provide support, which is why they request three years worth of tax returns. Of course future earnings are important I didn't mean to suggest that they would ignore your potential earnings it's just difficult to document what you haven't earned yet.

I have been a student all this time, I haven't had stable jobs in the past before. I appreciate your help but my question is what are the alternatives for W 2's since I'd be just beginning a new job. Anything would help. :)


a letter from your employer, when you get a job stating your hire date and annual salary...you may need a co sponsor..because they don't base your ability to provide support on future earnings but on past and current earnings

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion 18 on I-129F
I can't point to a specific but the reason I included a great deal of "proof" at the petition stage is because I read here on this forum of people getting an RFE for lack of proof of "bonafide relationships" I'm assuming those people included no proof in their petition
DIME777Not TellingPhilippines2013-04-07 08:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion 18 on I-129F

USCIS is not interested in your relationship at all. They are only interested that you have met physically within the past 2 years and that you are both willing and able to marry. That is all they need and that's all the question is asking.

It's the consulate's job to figure out if you have a valid relationship, so all of that info should only be needed at your interview if they ask you how you met.


is this true? if USCIS is not interested in an applicant couple's relationship why do they send out RFE's for lack of proof of a "bonafide relationship"?

In addition to what others said, don't forget to print out the bank slip online that you will use upon paying and bring your passport. You don't need NOA2 when paying just MNL case number. And wait 4 hours after paying BPI before you can schedule your interview. Good luck!

I can't assure you that the date format will not result in an FRE, but if you are so concern about that then best thing is to fill out again form him and sign it yourself to prevent any FRE since it is accepted to so. Take care!!!

You can fill out the G-325A form for your husband and sign it as well, trust me I know so because I was having a problem on how to get my fiancée form here all the way from Nigeria. So I called USCIS customer service and the representative that pick up told me that I can fill the form for her but I should put my own on signature on it and I did not receive a RFE on it. I will also suggest that you right date in full for example: 03/27/2013 or 03-27-2013

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAnyone ever get RFE for wrong size passport pics?

If the foreign fiancé's passport pics are a tad bit smaller than the 2" x 2" USA norm, would that generate an RFE?

Has anyone ever sent in smaller than 2"x2" (by very little) pics and APPROVED?



Yes you will get an RFE if you sent in a different size because it is clearly stated on USCIS website that not following the picture requirement can cause your application to be rejected. I also suggest that you don't scan the picture in order to enlarge it because this can give it poor Brightness,Contrast & Color. What you can do is to tell your foreign fiancé to have someone snap him again with a digital camera on a white background adjusting the size to 2in by 2in or 50.8mm by 50.8mm for European standard. Then tell him to email you the picture so you can have it print out at walgreens or he can also print it out himself and mail the picture through DHL. GOODLUCK!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSent in I-129F two weeks before 2 year mark, will it get denied?
Hello,
The requirement only stated that you guys have to know yourself for at least 2years before filling and since you both have a child together I you have know each other for a long time. The requirement also state you guys should have meet in person at least once before filling and you have done that too. You will be fine, nothing to worry yourself about. Your NOA1 should arrived in the mail one week from the date USCIS receive your application maybe two weeks the most. GOODLUCK!!!
