K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCould someone explain to me how much time I have to enter once approved.

anywhere from 4 to 6 months.  all depends on what is printed in the visa. 

 

what's printed in the visa depends on when the medical exam is done.  usually - it's 6 months after the medical exam date.

I'll say no - as one of the requirements to get a K-1 visa is that :  that human must have legal presence in that country.

 

That's not the case for your fiance. 

 

Sorry...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresafter the interview and approval for k-1, next steps

 

SSA is federal, the process is the same (of course there are idiots in some offices that don't have a clue)

 

My wife did not apply for the SSN until after we were married (month after arriving in the USA), then we took the marriage certificate and the SS-5 form to SSA and got her card in her married name.

 

Ya know - I'm gonna follow you - each time you write this stuff.

 

Why? It's #######.   You're giving false hope to folk , leading them to believe that what worked for your wife will work for all.

 

 

It's not that way, at all.

 

You got exceptionally lucky.   USUALLY, when folk apply in the married name (K-1 visa holders) within the 90 days on the I-94, a properly trained SSA staffer will send the stuff out for DHS Verification.

 

That was skipped, with you and yer wife.

 

I hope you realize how exceptionally lucky you were.  I also hope that you stop repeating 'your story' as the gospel.

 

It's not the gospel.  It doesn't work (mostly).  You and your wife were exceptionally lucky, IMO bullying a SSA staffer to make it happen without the SAVE db lookup. 

 

I ask you stop repeating your story, as it's not the way it's supposed to be done at any SSA office. 

 

Thanks in advance !

I'm beneficiary please help
 

There's not much you can do until (and if) the casefile arrives at the US Embassy, IV Unit, in your country.

 

When (and if) it does -

write a letter telling the IV Unit that you are not seeking any Visa Application, that the relationship between you and the petitioner has ended.

 

Sure, it may mean you wait 2 to 4 more months, but - wait until the casefile arrives at the US Embassy.

 

How to know?  email the IV Unit or call the DoS Hotline.   (# in my profile - but note the number is changing next week)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 hard-copy notice undeliverable

so, the postal forward order has mucked up getting the NOA-2.

 

Got it.

 

how to fix?

 

call USCIS again, get a Tier 2 Human, an ISO ,

and

go over 'returned mail pieces' with the ISO.

 

expect a long wait on hold, after talking with the CSR and the CSR transfers you.

 

stuff to go over with an ISO:

1.  confirmation of returned mail pieces

2.  NEW address to send the returned mail pieces to.  use an address that doesn't contain any postal forward order on it (suggest a parent or relative) and give this address to the ISO, and ask that the returned mail pieces be sent on to the NEW address.

 

---

none of this stuff slows down the processing between USCIS and NVC but

 

you need the NOA-2 for filing the adjustment of status casefile after marriage in the USA.

 

---

sorry you got a braindead human at USCIS the first time - do note that these folk are contractors with SERCO, aren't trained very well, and make sh|t up all the time in an attempt to get you off the phone.   They can't see anything about your case other than what you can on the USCIS status portal but

 

an ISO can fix things for you.  A CSR is useless.

I think the K3 option is no longer available. So it will be a I/CR1.

It's been dead since 2010 everywhere, but most folk declare it dead circa 2009. 

 

I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader, to ascertain why.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp! Brown Envelope Not Surrendered at Port of Entry

USCIS can't fix this. 

 

Only CBP can fix this.  No need to call.  Just pick an office, for CBP, and go in person.  Hint: POE offices rarely close...

He can walk in to any CBP office and give it over, his hand to a CBP worker's hand, in person. 

 

Doesn't have to be a POE office, can also be secondary inspection or deferred inspection.  

 

However, must to talk with said CBP human, make sure he/she understands that the packet was not given over at the POE, and must be routed to USCIS. 

 

Also, whilst there, make certain that the K-1 visa was noted in their system, or it'll cause a rash of pain later when applying for AOS.

That's a very good plan!  Someone else has had the idea of dropping the new immigrant at a college library or student center in the morning, and picking him/her up after work.  Just thought I'd throw that in.  It sounds like everything will be well because of your thorough thinking, which is enviable. good.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWould like your input

I just read the post on the woman who is 40 yrs older than her Nigerian fiance, let me tell you mine. My fiance is Nigerian and we are 24 years apart, we have been together for more then 4 years now. Although he is a Nigerian national he is currently living and going to school in Finland. I went to see him this past December and stayed with him for a month. We filed for a K-1 on May 13, 2013, and received our NOA1 on May 17, 2013, after reading all the post from everyone I was a little disheartened. We have talked at great lengths about the uphill battle that we are facing because he is from Nigeria. I plan on attending the interview when we get to that step and if for some reason it does not go our way I will be flying to Finland and we will marry and file for the CR-1 and he will continue attending school. 

 

One of the questions I have is, now that he is in Finland does that play to our favor, since it is not about getting out of Nigeria, "high risk country".  I would appreciate as much input and advise that you can give.

 

Thank you

 

One thing you have to realize is he is still a Nigerian and depending on how rough or easy a country  is on a applicant thats something you really need to research.

 

have you read all the interview reviews for Finland to see how they are? I know like Malaysia is very hard on Nigerians. Russia not so much. So it depends.

 

And that brings me to this. It's all about your petition and how you presented. Did you front-load? What was your evidence?

 

Also your visits that is really not that great but it is a K1. One thing I can say K1 Visas when you are dealing with much older people doesn't have as much validity than a CR1/IR1. That shows commitment.

 

You saying he is doing his studies and will continue when he gets here. On a K1 you are talking about a 6 to 1 year or longer wait he will not be able to do anything. So that there shows how bad is schooling really to him. On a CR1/IR1 he can start school soon as he gets here.

 

Don't focus so much on age difference but focus on the visits and be able to address that and being within child-bearing years (it may never come up but just prepare).

 

I have many women friends 15 to 30 years older than their Nigerian husbands and age was never even brought up. But they presented a good petition. One was denied but got it together the second time around. The key I feel was they all spent good quality time with husbands in His country. And they were all married. Which speaks to commitment.

 

Since you say you went to Finland that means you have not meant his family? I know some women who husbands aren't living in Nigeria they still booked a trip to Nigeria to meet the families. That is #1 for Nigeria and really shows the bonafides you meet family, stayed in village or home or whatever and was accepted.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresITR US Embassy in Manila

Hi People,

 

I'm so desperate right now. T_T My problem is that on my last year's ITR it shows I've earned 10,000 from August 2012 because I started working August, I've heard from a friend that there are a lot of cases where they deny it because it is below the poverty guideline. So I would like an opinion from past experiences whether to go with it or not? Or if there are ways to go through and still pass. My fiance is really down because he has to wait another 6 months until we can be together again and I would rather not wait for 6 months for this years ITR showing my complete earnings.

 

Will your income this year be above the guidelines? And are you at the same place?

 

Just have in your cover-letter when you submit your affidavit of support 2012 was 5 months of wages.

 

But I am sure others from your country will let you know how much they look at previous year I know every embassy is different on that point.

I was never caught during the years I did heroin... I had my interview at the New Delhi Consulate in June 2006... I provided the police certificates dating back to when I was 10 from the cities I had lived in which were London, Mumbai and Delhi... I got my approval in September 2006 and was married in November.  I had no trouble going through immigration. I did not have to go through any form of rehab; but I had been clean for more than 20 years... I wish all of you luck. For me, it was simply not worth it to lie/conceal my drug past... despite the fact that i had no desire to live in America and still have no desire to live here... I do love my spouse and would not want to be anywhere other than with him, even it means living in a country I can't stand!
