K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlease help me. My boyfriend can not find the divorce decree since 17-18 years ago he can not remember the date too.

You have the information to get what you need.

That Divorce Decree is on file in the State and County you stated here.  GO TO THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE. where they filed for Divorce.  It is there on record.

What he will need is:  Get a Copy in Full.  A Seal and Stamp and Initial by the County Clerk DATED.  About $5.00 US dollars is the charge.   He should call ahead to pull from the Archives of Records.  Not a big Deal.

A Copy is Fine to Fax and show.

 

Thank you so much for help

I feel better after i have read your post.

Here's a thought, assume the higher of the two answers, better safe than sorry. I assume the USCIS will update itself soon enough, and exceeding the minimums will only make your process easier.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Fiance Visa : Same-sex

 
 
Hi Jonathan,

There are a number of same-sex couples that have joined in recent weeks, so we'll be in this together and learning as we go. From what I've read, here are my thoughts on your questions:

1. While older posts suggest that in the past a foreign post office box was acceptable for mailing purposes to the foreign fiance, more recent posts say that a physical street address is now required for mailing in an attempt to cut down on fraud. It appears that there would be no problem using your family's physical street address for this purpose in connection with the I-129F petition itself, but keep in mind that the U.S. Embassy will later be using that address for mail to your fiance. You will need to use your fiance's actual physical address for the G-325A Biographic Information form that you will send in for your fiance along with the I-129F petition.

2. As far as proof of physically meeting goes, I'm in a similar situation as my fiance lives in Brazil. I sent a complete copy of my U.S. passport showing my Brazilian visas and many trips to Brazil, along with several dated photos of the two of us together. If I had thought about it I probably would have included my fiance's passport showing our trips together outside of Brazil as well, but if we're asked for more evidence we can produce that. I think if you can connect the "primary evidence" (your passport stamps, boarding passes, etc.) with some credible secondary evidence of the two of you together (such as dated photographs) you should be OK.

3. I also suggest that you read the information available in the Philippines portal on this site, as it will give you a great deal of country-specific information that will be important for your visa process.


Good luck!












 

Thanks for the reply I called USCIS, he went ahead and got himself a PO box. My sister who recently filed petition for her fiance told me most of the documents they were gonna send will also be sent on petitioner's email (just as long as you fill out the e-notification form). As for the proof, I'm afraid I have too much chat logs, and skype logs. But I think it's better than getting an RFE. LOL.

 

Thanks again.
 


Hi Jonathan,

 

I think using your parents address would be better than a PO Box, and as far as his age I would not see any problem because he is of age and can decide for himself.

I was told that USCIS is supposed to be sensitive to situations like this.

 

Your passport stamps, boarding passes, photographs, emails or chat logs should give you some good material for evidence.

 

I'm glad that both our families approve of our relationship, going on 9 years now.

 

Hold on, be brave and go for it.

 

Best of luck

 

Fred and Tonton

 

 

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Are you petitioning your bf back in the phils as well?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Fiance Visa : Same-sex

So with the recent DOMA rulings, I believe I can now petition my long term bf back in the Philippines. I'm very excited with this, and I've been trying to process all our documents ASAP. I've never petitioned anyone before, and I have couple of questions that you guys may hopefully help me with.

 

1. Can my bf rent a PO box in the phils. and use it for sending our documents (it's because his parents does not approve our relationship and has long been trying to stop us) And can that (both using a PO box, and his parents being against us (bf is 23 y/o) affect our approval in anyway? As an alternative, can I use my family's address back home instead as his mailing address?

 

2. For the past 3 years, I have been visiting him back home yearly, but all my tickets, passes, even hotels, are all under my name....and not his ( we do have photos together, though). Would that suffice as proof of our relationship?

 

Thank you guys for your help.

 

Sincerely,

Jonathan

Why?  Someone's got to read that tome - if the 'stuff' they want is in the first paragraph - then they don't have to read to the last one.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresemergency advice -stolen bag at airport with visa packet

ya, i will assume she wasn't admitted as a K-1 at all.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresemergency advice -stolen bag at airport with visa packet

Long story short with more detail to come after we've spent some quality time~

 

She was given a 1 month parole visa and passport was surrendered.  We have until this time to get the appropriate paper work gathered and submitted.  They said lost/stolen/damaged/etc happens fairly frequently overall - it's still better to do it the 'right' way but they do have a contingency plan.  Don't rely on it, but it's there.

 

Thanks to everyone for the support, and we definitely took a chance but it paid off - as I get the details of what needs to be gathered and submitted I will add to the post.

cool.  

 

but uncool about the passport being surrendered.  she make copies or scans of bio page prior to getting on plane, and emailing to you ?  

 

I suggest getting married immediately then filing for adjustment of status . 

 

Howeverr - did CBP give you a path for fixing this? if so, what is it ? 

 

it's going to be hard to get a SSN without showing the K-1 visa at the SSA office.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresemergency advice -stolen bag at airport with visa packet


FIancee arrived at airport and had her bag stolen containing the sealed packet. She still has passport with visa inside. She is reporting to police now but flight is soon. Can she travel and have packet replaced/confirmed when state side? This is time sensitive so if you have advice or help or contact of some one who can please let us know

Yikes.   I pray the police at the airport have recovered it by now. 

 

As for travelling and transit - 

1.  she can get on the plane in her country. 

2.  she can get on other planes not in the usa for transit and layovers 

3.  she can land inside the plane where the USA POE is . 

4.  she will be stuck at the POE, as the handover of the visa packet is required for entry into the USA.  HOWEVER - is quite possible the CBP fellas will let her through, if she has a police report from the first airport police office in her hand. 

 

I've read of other folks with similar problem, but it wasn't that the visa packet was stolen - it was that a K-2 entrant 's visa file was with the K-1 visa file that came through a POE 3 months prior to the K-2, so there wasn't any visa packet to hand over.  The K-2 was allowed in, but was really messy.  In the end, an electronic record of the A-file, sans medical stuff, was able to be accessed and a paper A-file recreated. 

 

 

I think it's a gamble, either way, either to remain in her country and beg the US Embassy to help recreate the A-File before travelling again oor come into the USA without the visa packet. 

 

Let us know what transpires, aye?

You are signing a legal document.  With your legal name represented in the signature.

 

IF you not put your full legal name in the upper part when editing the PDF file,

have another go, and leave that box blank.

 

After printing, WRITE yer full legal name up there, using a black pen.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTax return question (China K1)

 

I'm a fool for mailing them in without making copies. But going directly to the IRS office is a good idea. If for some reason they just "don't have them," I'll just fill them out again.

I say give it a whirl for 2011.. 

 

A stamped thing with an IRS stamp on it trumps a lot of silliness.

you have originals or copies of what you filed for those years? 

if so ... 

 

make 2 sets of each year. 

 

WALK into an IRS field office.  

Have clerk stamp each set, each year. 

 

IRS keep one set for each year. 

YOU keep one set for each year. 

 

Walk out of IRS office. 

 

That's the fastest way.

yes, she can come in.

 

Her new period of authorized stay starts with the I-94 (usually 90 days) issued at the POE.

But it's really not issued, there's no paper now - it's all electronic - must to get it online after POE date.

 

RE: AOS - is no limit for when to file the AOS SET.  The limitation (per the regs) is to get married within 90 days of arrival in the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support, supporting docs

I recommend, for Guangzhou IV, for the I-134:

1.  3 years of tax data, on tax transcripts or complete copies of tax return documents (forms, schedules, etc) and

2.  something showing current (2013) annual income.  this could be a letter from your employer, or pay stubs or a combination of both.

 

if your projected current annual income for 2013 falls below the poverty guidelines (@125 percent) then is ok to show assets to make up the shortfall . 

 

formula goes like this, for asset inclusion:

 

thresh-hold amount = current annual income + (1/3 * X)

 

where x is the variable to seek for the asset amount to show or include.

those have a duration of 90 days past the POE date. 

 

if you ONLY co-sponsered yer friend's fiance on an I-134 - then is most likely that by the time YOUR I-134 is adjudicated, 

the duration on the prior I-134 is way past.
