K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSo Confused, Who to Contact
a withdrawal of this type is handled by postal letter.
Fax, sometimes, also works.

EMAIL? TELEPHONE? Not work at all.

You're not getting the IV Unit at the Embassy. I'm sorry.
Keep at it - as you need the IV Unit at the Embassy.

Hullo GringoD -
can tell us, from the receipt from the post office, exactly what level of delivery service you paid for?
options:
--first class mail
--priority mail
--express mail

that 'certified mail' tag is not a delivery type, I'm sorry.
DarnellMaleChina2011-12-20 17:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI made a Bone-Head mistake
i guess the big thing should be - uhm - what , exactly, did you pay for ?
review the receipt you walked out with - what did you purchase?
DarnellMaleChina2011-12-20 13:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI made a Bone-Head mistake
well, unsure of 'type', but you could have had 'priority mail' or 'express mail'.
Did you choose either of these, or something else?

'certified mail' doesn't let us know the speed you chose.

you have any tracking number on the packet, or no? if yes, easy to track.

I do note that postage paid online is much easier , also cheaper and tracking is free.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa approved but Entry deny

She is coming from Canada and she has been denied entry for visitation before on one occasion due to lack of ties to return.


She is now K-1 visa holder. CBP will allow her through, as is assumption she is coming to marry, adjust status later, not any 'visit'.

go by the dates on the i-94, for getting married.

fwiw - the k-1 visa was invalidated when he came into usa.

He had until March 2012 to come into the USA - once here, is a new, different calendar.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStarting a K-1 Visa While She is in the US on an F-1
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

see - give us ALL of the info???

you get different answer.

here's today's answer, based on your CURRENT pile o info:

no - filing for AOS whilst in USA on a 1 month educational visa makes no sense at all - in fact will be viewed as an attempt to defraud the immigration system.

So, stay on that 'other' path you mentioned, prior.

Good Luck.

[ps - any more info you'd like to add, wish to add, at this point?]

ain't nothing instant, sorry.
no concept any more of 'same day service'
as there's still that final background check that she may or may not have coming

so, best thing to do? call the DoS Hotline, get a Human™ there, inquire for casefile status every day until you hear 'visa packet sent'.

Good Luck !

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlease tell what does this Mean

But, my fiance believes that he wasnt denied because they didnt stamp his passport book which I think is irrelevant.


He is mistaken, alas.

If they were going to do additional processing at the Embassy IV unit, they would have told him so. They may or may not have kept his passport, as well. If they did not keep his passport, he would have gotten another 'sheet' of stuff, requesting additional information to be sent in, along with his passport.

He didn't receive that.

He received a 'hard denial', instead, with a sheet containing verbiage stating that the casefile is being sent back to the USA for possible revocation.

Right?

Way back in post #6, I was trying to 'get you' to 'get' your fiance to send in an exact copy, a scan, of all documents he was given. You really should get them, study them, todayish. Removes a lot of conjecture and doubt, all the way round.

PS - there is no Jamaican Embassy in Jamaica. Same way there is no US Embassy in USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExcessive Chat Log - Too Many Pages
Skype huh. Man wished I had know years ago when this courtship started I would need every conversation logged and such. I have had landlines (at least I have those bills) but mostly cell phones. The cell phone company wants $25 for every month you are requesting. My husbands cell phone company wants $50 for every month. And its only a phone long not any texting. Guess you have to get a court order for that stuff.

And I was using alot of those disposable calling cards not the cards you have accounts. Live and learn. I just hope we have so much overwhelming evidence that phone records for every dang day won't matter. Heck I too have 750 pages of facebopok emails, 350 pages of hotmail and yahoo email. The log alone for facebook was 43 pages, Hotmail 27 pages. I so love the way Yahoo puts IM's and emails all together they really have it together over there.

Anyway keep us posted how it goes with CO. I bet they don't even look at all your efforts.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresApplication Revoked
This is confusing...who e-mailed the consulate to withdraw the application, the USC or the foreign fiance(e)? Was there any reply affirming that the withdraw request has been granted or some sort of communication from the consulate or DHS? Its a little confusing how the foreign fiancee can request that an approved petition be withdrawn, resulting in a DHS revocation, since the underlying I-129F petition was completed by the USC and approved by USCIS, not DHS. The beneficiary can not attend the interview, or request a cancellation of the interview...but not the withdrawal of the I-129F...that is not within their power.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134: non-permanent job?

I am looking over the required information for the I-134, and I see that in the letter from your employer they require the following information:

1. Date and nature of employment;
2. Salary paid;
***3. Whether the position is temporary or permanent.***

I am in a grant-funded position, and funding will run out at the end of 2012. I should be filing the I-134 in early 2012. My employer is generally very good about securing more funding or moving people around so that no one is let go due to lack of funding. I'm not particularly worried about my job security, but I'm don't know if the Government will see things the same way.

I really don't want to have to find a co-sponsor (embarassing!).

Will this jeopardize our K-1 visa?

FYI - current salary is well over 125% of poverty level.

Thanks!


I am sort of in the same boat.... I work from home teaching chess & trumpet so I am my own boss.... how what should I do for "letter of employment" etc?? Please help.... want to make sure everything is done 100% right.

I see you still haven't learned that throwing tantrums and ordering people around isn't going to work for you here. Posting questions and not liking the answers is no reason to have a bad attitude, but I'm sure you've heard that before! :whistle: :lol:


Are you as stupid as you look? How exactly am I ordering people around? In case you cant tell, I'm just asking questions which is generally what people do on forums such as this. But obviously you're an uneducated fool so I'll just let this rest. :bonk: :whistle:
Either way, do me a favor and dont reply back to any of my inquiries. You're not the only person on this board. Dont give 2 cents what you've got to say.

Ok, yes, the bottom line is that you can withdraw and file for k3, spouse visa.....so why do I read here on VJ and people complain of been put on AP for months and years, isnt it advisable to get married and sort out the issues of removal, becos to my understanding, most of the refusal is proving bona fide relationship....
I mean it doesnt make sense waiting, forget the money and time, one could even waste more time waiting on AP to be denied again!!!!!!:wacko: :wacko: :unsure:

What if you apply for the withdrawal of the k1, get married and file for k1, if the reason is that there is no bona fide evidence of relationship, instead of waiting 4, 5, 6 months????????
Am just curious :blush: :blush: :blush:
