K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI need advice.

I am thinking of bringing her here on a visitors visa to get treatment here in the US and a second opinion a lot of the medical there in the Philippines leaves a lot to be desired as we know. During her time here I think I will use it to get to know her completely. I don't care she has it and I want to get her the best treatment possible. When the guy first told her she would not talk to me for a week because she said she thought I would not love her anymore, I told her she was stuck with me! LOL I told here if it did make it where she could not come here I would move there to the Philippines to be with her. She is the light of my life. I have started filling out the K 1 paperwork and when she gets here after a month or two we will try to file for the k1. I know it is possible it could be denied but that is a chance I have to take to get her proper treatment. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

There are some problems with your path.
1. it will be near impossible for her to get a tourist visa , even to seek medical treatment in the USA.
2. medical tourism is big business in Singapore - why not send her there for a bit, instead? Visa for medical trip much easier to get there.
3. 'try to file a K-1 after she gets here' - I assume you two never meet before? Her chances of getting a tourist visa into the USA are next to nil, and if you are basing 'face time' solely on her trip into the USA, to be that 'first face to face visit' - you're in for a sad disappointment.

Going forward, I suggest you use your time, perhaps this weekend, to research exactly what it takes to get a tourist visa to the USA, and why most folk in the PI don't qualify. Then, refactor your plan a bit (or a lot), based on your research findings.

Good Luck !

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmail to foreign country?

when the embassy sends the packet overseas does it go to my fiancees address listed on the i129f? or does it go to the us embassy in his country to pick up?


Why would the embassy do that?

2. no - include 'accumulated to date' in 2012 in your math equation - then make a projection as IF the income is for 12 months.

for example - take a month's intake, say, March, for example, all income, before taxes are deducted (not what's on the paychecks)
then multiply by 12 (as there are 12 months in a year).

THATs the 'current annual income'..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHer official name is different than the name I call her
legal name on all forms.

there's a block for 'other names used' but these are typically (emphasis on typically) other LEGAL names.

Aimee is not her legal name - she has no legal document with 'Aimee' on it, at all.

Sure, you could list 'Aimee' in the 'other names used' block, as it's allowed.

Good Luck !

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa one time entry. Is it ok to visit other country before entering US?
ya, doing it after K-1 visa in hand, entirely my point.

timeticks resemble this:
1. have interview in Japan at IV Unit
2. get visa
3. fly to 'home country'
4. meet up with beneficiary in 'home country'
5. both fly together INTO USA

<EOM>

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa one time entry. Is it ok to visit other country before entering US?
plan that trip before she comes to usa.
So, not come to usa just yet.
She flies from Japan to yer 'home country'. You meet her there. You have a party.
Then the two of you fly INTO the USA, activating the K-1 visa.

Come to USA prior? eek - she can leave usa, but impossible to return , as the K-1 visa is SINGLE USE.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWho pays in case they turn you away?

I'm talking about them turning you away when visiting while waiting for the Visa to be approved and not when you have the Visa on your hands.
Unless we're talking about the same thing, in which case, I apologize!

Oh ! See, I just assumed you were asking about transit whilst holding a K-1 visa.

Not the same thing.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 app while living with fiance out of country: expedited?

Hi Harpa,

Thanks for your help! Still in the learning process here. :) I've just talked to the embassy here and it corresponded with what you're saying. Perhaps a good option then is to get hitched in a civil ceremony here and opt for the I-130 instead? (So he can work, drive, etc right away when we arrive).

With the timeline of 11 months and being ready to get married now, what would you all suggest at the best solution for a couple living abroad together? Fiance or Spouse route?

Thanks again for the help.

If you've lived in that country for more than 6 months, you could get married this week,
file the I-130 on Monday, and have visa within 5 months if NO DCF, or within 3 months if DCF is available.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Petition sent to the wrong US consule, what should i do?
you might get stuck in the China Customs Warehouse for up to 3 months, before Guangzhou IV pulls the casefile.

Be Warned.

If it just left NVC, I'd be all over an NVC Supervisor,
to YANK the DHL Shipment, have it returned to NVC, then resent out to HKG.

DHL can return a shipment prior to it reaching China Border and China Customs.

If there's a hope , I say do it.

BUT - call NOW. Get NVC Supervisor NOW. Apparently they made a mistake (or theres more yer not telling us)
