Ask her to scan all, and email to you.

 

Once you have these papers, redact them, post here, we can vette stuff for you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTwo Letters of Intent?

Although it states stuff in the instructions,

most folk here have learned of the 2 letters requirement,

when other folk have reported getting dinged about it, an RFE seeking that 2nd letter from the 2nd human.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarriage within 90 days from interview or from entry into the US

maybe what you heard was exact, but the human saying it was wrong, a recent hire with scant training, giving over wrong info.

 

all is governed by what's printed in the visa, for her transit into the USA.

Then she has 90 days after entering USA, to marry with you.

 

Seriously™.

 

 

 

 


DarnellMaleChina2013-10-07 15:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarriage within 90 days from interview or from entry into the US

check her visa in her passport.  there are 2 dates in there.

she needs to come into the USA by the latest date on that visa - usually ppl want to be 'safe' and come in a few days earlier.

but ..

 

her time in the USA is governed by the I-94 document, not the visa dates.

 

Once she's in the USA, she has 90 days to marry to you.

 

so, check the dates in the VISA stamp in the passport, tell us what you see, earliest date, latest date,

as

many times, the validity of visa duration hinges around the medical exam date, and not the visa interview date.

 

IMO, you got a newbie human at the IV Unit.  It happens, sometimes.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshelp! how can i start to process K2

for Manila IV - it should be enough

and set up the K-2 stuff in the website. 

 

That's it, really.  Start with paying the visa fees somewhere in the PI, then go forth with the rest of it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 visa once approved and now being denied

They said: I regret to advise that the information has come to light that required that we return the K-1 petition to the national visa center. We will not be able to issue the K1 visa as we had initially indicated.

Then you have 3 choices. 

 

1.  wait for the petition to arrive back with USCIS - they will determine whether or not to re-adjudicate it, a notice of intent to Deny/Revoke may or may not be issued back to the petitioner via postal mail. If petitioner does receive that, then there is a chance, must submit whatever they ask for plus relationship evidence or

 

2.  file a new I-129F, adding in additional relationship evidence or 

 

3.  get married, file an I-130, chasing after a CR-1 visa. 

 

Good Luck, whatever you two decide to do.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChinese Characters Required on DS-156 But Don't Work
It might be an old document set - check the expiration date on the form.

Also check out the link I gave for the GUZ IV packets and forms - those are the current ones - I'm thinking you've got old stuff.

Let me know if the newer forms still have the telegraphic code - they're NOT SUPPOSED TO have that, any more. Here's some info on telegraphic codes - http://www.chinafami...indpost&p=26117

and yes, the China Post Office maintains 'the book' of all telegraphic codes, since most China Post Offices handle telegraph communications.

Good Luck !

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChinese Characters Required on DS-156 But Don't Work
the 'online DS-156 form' is a label/tag, for an adobe acrobat PDF form.

Instead of trying to handle it 'online' -

save it to disk, blank, first, instead.

Print One Copy as Blank, fill it out in Chinese, by hand.

Fill out one set on the computer in English, print it, put any extra chinese characters in there.

It's still confusing as to WHETHER or not they want one in English, One in Chinese, or two sets (one in English and One in Chinese) - so I suggest you make 2 sets - one in English, one in Chinese - and bring both in on Interview day.

Also bring some blank copies of that form, for interview day, as well.

Good Luck !

your petitioner is not a relative yet, so the petitioner's relatives are not your relatives, yet.

she's got what she needs in the passport , a good K-1 visa and a CFO sticker,

but

 

you might expect extra scrutiny at the POE, as the CBP goons aren't so bright and may give her some flack about that cancelled K-1 visa.  probability of that happening? imo, less than 20 percent.

as to your concern about the CFO sticker - as long as it's SOMEWHERE in the passport, she's golden.

although the IV unit mentioned a coupla weeks to get in the new documentation, 

I'll bet that the paperwork you received mentioned 1 year to return the new documents. 

 

Take a look at what you received from the IV Unit, see what their duration is, to return stuff to them.  

 

and then report back.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIt's not meant to be rude. Just a general observation.

I'm not starting this topic to offend anybody or to start a beef just for the beef sake. After several months of being on this very helpful forum (it's a life saver in many cases! smile.png ), I have this general observation that people do not even bother to read instructions and guides. It seems they don't even bother to use a search engine to look for answers to their questions, but just bluntly create a new topic to ask their question that has been asked 3 to 5 times the very same day. Sometimes there are several topics one under the other(s) about the same thing. It makes the forum bigger and bigger mess every day. 

 

I know this process is long, exhausting and above all confusing at many points. It really is and also has been for me. I always try to help whenever I'm logged in and I'm able to help (when I know how), because this is the main purpose of the forum -- to help and support each other. But even earlier today I read posts in a topic from more experienced forum members that the question about Texas lockobx and Texas Sevice Center comes up way too often and perhaps should be pinned somewhere to be visible. When I browse through the K1 forum, I see more and more replies that are only like "Read the guides" or "Follow this link", because these are basic questions!

 

It's all there in the Guides, in the Downloads, on the Visa FAQs etc. My plead for new users especially is to first research and read, and then if your question/issue is still not answered or it's very specific to formulate a question on the forum. 

 

I wish you all a good day and above all as smooth visa journey as possible! star_smile.gif

I chalk all of this up to folk using a handphone.

I say ditch it, come back to VJ on a PC, instead.

Handphones SUCK for VJ usage, one misses 80 percent of the functionality of the site when using a handphone.

I meant that she has rights to find out why his visa was denied. 

This was already covered, with a modicum of research from me.

you could think of it this way -

 

he has to wait a year, regardless.

 

you could get married and file, with an interview popping up right around the year mark from the last medical exam.

 

what are your thoughts?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdenied fiance visa

so is it a no period forever? I should start trying to move there? Do people go through this and eventually get a visa or is it pretty impossible?

a human at the IV Unit, on interview day, mumbled something about 'apply in a year'.

 

So, if I were in yer shoes, I'd try to figure out just what/why that human mumbled that phrase,

and then

 

act on it. 

 

I not suggest start trying to move there, at the moment.  More research for you, I'm thinking. 

 

However, someone dropped a golden nugget earlier in your thread about drug use and waiting - reread that, expound yer research in that area.


DarnellMaleChina2013-10-13 18:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdenied fiance visa

ok - so he was flat out denied under section 212(a)(1)(4)(4) of the US LAW governing immigration adjudication processes.

 

IMO, do more research on that, as it will outline what that section is all about.

 

IMO, up at

http://www.uscis.gov...0-0-0-2006.html

http://www.uscis.gov...0-0-0-2006.html

 

he falls into 'that' category' - ie -

 

In general.-Any alien-

(part iv) - who is determined (in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services) to be a drug abuser or addict, is inadmissible.

 

 

That's it, full stop.  But that's just my opinion.  I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV or podcast.

Although you quoted something from a website, please understand the context around the content.

 

OTOH , if'n yer lass is truly under 21, then there is some other stuff Manila IV wants to see, and the CFO wants to see, as well, if'n this interview is truly in Manila.

 

Since it smells like yer having the interview in Canada, though, disregard (mostly) .
