maybe ask for a partial refund from the lawyer, as he/she/it did not submit a COMPLETE I-129F casefile.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresReceipt Number on NOA1 not in System?
If it's not online at the status portal thingie, a CSR can't see it either.

OTOH, an ISO can see it - so if you really need to get some confirmation,
call into USCIS, talk with the CSR a bit, ask to be transferred to an ISO,
then ask the ISO to look up yer casefile.

Good Luck !

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP! Confused.. Entered on K-1 Visa getting married next week
for 'exact status' on your visa type, CBP will have a record of what they recorded at the POE,
back at a CBP deferred/secondary inspection office.

I say go in, see the shift supervisor, ask for a review on the SAVE record on you, ask specifically WHAT visa type they recorded at the POE.

Don't bother calling, simply find an office close to you, and go.

It's worth it to go, IMO - just to 'tick off' the fact that it was or was not screwed up by CBP.

Bring all yer papers, as CBP can FIX the SAVE database record on you, if'n you need fixing.

na, that's not it, the ssn name fix.

Something else is amiss, the IV unit or the POE screwed up.

if'n yer still on hold, ask for an ISO, a Tier 2 human. They have the same computer access that the folk at a local USCIS has.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Withdrawal Request

what u talking about back door?

NVC has casefile info in the SAFEFILE system. When a casefile hits the IV Unit, the SAFEFILE version is also reviewed, as sometimes there are annotations from NVC.

The back door -> Call into NVC, getting a supervisor, request that the I-129F be withdrawn, ask them to make an annotation in the SAFEFILE version that the petitioner has withdrawn the petition.

Manila IV will see that annotation.

It's also recommended to email the IV unit in Manila, requesting that the I-129F petition be withdrawn.

IF ALL FAILS, if she still gets an interview date - make certain you've NOT submitted an I-134 and required docs to HER, aye?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Withdrawal Request
use a telephone, call into NVC, get a Supervisor, inquire for 'how to do'.

NVC routinely does stuff with IV units worldwide, so it might be a good 'back door' for you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance has overstayed Visa
His Visa was invalidated the moment he crossed into the USA,
and his 'status' was then governed by the duration dates printed on the I-94.

Since he did get married, he did fulfill one major piece of the K-1 visa.

However, he's been out of status for some time now. If he and his wife had filed for the Adjustment of Status (leading to a green card) and if he had the green card already in hand, then he has a great chance to stay here.

That's not the case, alas. He is not allowed to adjust status inside of the USA at all, except on Adustment of Status WITH the Petitioner after marriage.

I think you're in a hard place, really. Any coptic church in your area? Have him go there, ask for some legal assistance.

(1). Conduct a background check on yourself. See who the database shows is living in your home.
See who it shows is sharing assets or debts with you. If the DB is wrong, point that out in your filing.

Hey Marc - good on ya for checking in ...

for those of you who don't know of Marc - he's an immigration attorney specializing in petitions filed to Guangzhou and HoChiMin - and has vast experience in assisting petitioners with overcoming blue slips, white slips, and initial prep for red flag issues.

How does one attain access to the contents of the database -- FOIA request? Other? What if items in the database are "classified" or are otherwise ineligible for release?


Hey Si Man - http://www.usaimmigr...tiveReview.html

That's mostly 'current' -

fwiw, it's not one database - but there is a commercial service (the link escapes me) that can run a background check on ya - the same one an employer can run without 'security checks that the FBI might do'.

if you two not get married within that 90 day period,
but do get married after that 90 day period and DO wish to adjust status still,

well, you can.

file the I-130 PLUS the I-485 plus all the ancilliary stuff with the fees, and go forth.

if you'd like an earlier interview, get online, cancel the one you have, and try for an earlier interview date.
expect this to take 3 to 5 business days,
as you'll be clicking a lot, refreshing the web browser, looking for 'the open spot' that you want.

DarnellMaleChina2012-11-21 11:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPost Interview asking for forms that I do not have
look, the IV unit wants proof of income for 2011 in a form they understand. So far, you've not given this to them, in a form they understand. Since they can't understand it, they can't vette it, and they can't finish up with the final adjudication on the I-134.

You have a fear of the AMOUNT of 2011, but it's meaningless at the moment, as you not provide the right stuff to them, yet.

Remember, a casefile, in it's entirety, in adjudicated based on the totality of the casefile. IMO, if you are showing 'current income' to be stellar, with a prior year (via tax forms) being below the line, you MIGHT be ok, as it's the totality of the casefile , not just one thing.


You probably want to 'fix this today' and IMO, don't try. Take a few days, stew more, work up some tax forms, at least find yer local IRS office, and make a solid plan to get the IV unit what they want.

'today' is Thanksgiving, and they be closed.

in a pinch, fill out a 1040X for tax year 2011, file it WITH the local IRS office -
they will stamp it as received - then ask for copies showing the stamp.

IMO, that's the fastest way to meet the IV unit's requirement.

London allows this, fwiw.

I don't have the answer for you, but I suggest you prepare 2 I-134 sets - one just on you, then another set with you and her stuff.

If any possibility of you getting a co-sponser - a USCitizen or a permanent resident, I suggest making a 3rd set.

Then, on interview day, spread out all 3 sets with the Interviewing Officer, ask him to choose.

in that quote, sponser = him, not you.

So whilst it's possible for you to self-sponser, it is also possible for him to submit the audited income/loss statements from the cpa and the business tax returns AND the corporation paperwork showing him above 50 percent partner or owner.

Have him talk with his CPA a bit, showing the entire thread to the CPA.
