IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow To Do Attachment Sheet for Long Address???

I was wondering about this too but I found the answer in the document Instructions for Form 129-F under General Instructions. 2. If extra space is needed to complete any item, attach a continuation sheet, indicate the item number, and date and sign each sheet. Since it states to date and sign each sheet, it seems like you should have a seperate continuation sheet for each item that needs more space. Since you are filing for fiance, I assume you are filing I-129F. The item number on my sheet for fiance address is in Part B number 2.

According to the CIA World Factbook, there are 25 Provinces in Peru. Lima is listed as a Province. I think you are correct in having Lima listed in both City and Province/State.

The form you are showing is G-325A. I cannot find special instructions for this form. Since it is going to the same department for processing, I would assume you do the same as instructed on form I-129F.

 

Does anyone else have any insight into these matters?

 

Chris

You will save a lot of money by doing it yourself. All I did was read and followed all the steps in here. I also did a lot of reading Forum/Philippine topic, and I asked a lot of questions and they were all very helpful in here :)

Thank you I will ask lots of questions. I did post another question, maybe you can help. How many years of taxes did you need to provide? One attorney told me 3 years. Is that correct? The directions seem to indicate 1 year.

As the rest say just file on your own. It is straightforward just read all the instruction on filing and you'll be fine. I just sent mine in on 12-21-2012 I just tripled checked I had everything in the envelope. I myself started from the beginning of the instructions and put everything in the packet in the same order it was asked for in the sheets. Not sure how much that helps but it helps double check you have everything. I to have a fiance in the Philippines Iloilo (cabatuan)to be exact. You will do fine on your own.

Thank you

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this site. Soon I will be filing the petition to start the K1 process so I can bring my fiance Jean to the U.S. from the Philippines. I am wondering how many of you used a Visa Service, Immigration attorney, or chose to file on your own. When I read the attorneys websites, I see that they try to get you to use them by saying the services cannot go to bat for you when something is wrong. Is it worth the added expense to use an attorney? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProof of Financial Support Question
Thank you. The lawyer I consulted with said the only Embassy not accepting a cosponsor is the embassy my fiance will go through in Manila Philippines. I shouldn't need a co-sponsor since my income is well above the needed level, I have a 5 year contract with my employer, and own my home( no mortgage yeah. I just wasn't sure about those additional years.
Be blessed

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProof of Financial Support Question
Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding the Proof of Financial Support for K-1 visa. I have been reading website after website trying to learn as much as I possibly can. I have read the instructions that go along with the Support Affidavit I-134. On one immigration attorney's website, he had something listed that I had not seen before. He says that I need to show 3 years tax filings as well as current pay stubs. The instructions for I-134 says if self employed, show last years tax filing. My challenge is that for the past few years I have been non-employed working as a volunteer teacher and doing missionary work. I returned to full employment for 2012. Will my inability to show stable employment for the years through 2011 hurt my chances of being approved? How many years did each of you have to show for the K1 visa?
Be blessed

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiances child question
Hi Everyone.
We are finalizing the petition for K1 Visa, hoping to send it in early February.
We listed my fiances 6 year old son on the I 129F form. Is there any other form I need to complete in order for the child to be included in her immigration to the U.S.? Do we need to send passport photos of the child too?
I have been reading the guides but they don't address this issue clearly.
Please advise

Chris

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInitials versus Signature
Hi all. I hope someone who has knowledge on this topic can assist me. My fiance sent me the Letter of Intent to Marry and G-325 forms through FedEx. Upon inspection I noticed that she initialed each form and the letter. I asked her about it and she said that is how I always sign my name. Does anyone know if this is allowed? Should I have her complete the forms and resend? Will the USCIS accept scanned copies or originals only?
Thanks
Chris

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew I-129F form different

I just completed the i-129F form today. I liked some of the features of the new form. I don't remember seeing the Alien Fiancees Mailing Address portion on the old form. This was important to me because my fiancee lives in a part of her city that does not receive mail and courier packages. She has to use her business address for all packages. As far as the phone number portion, there were enough spaces for a Philippine phone number excluding the country code. I just wrote the + country code in front of the area code brackets. Some of the spaces they give you are not big enough but the instructions say to attach a signed and dated continuation sheet for each item that needs more space. I had 4 continuation sheets.

Overall I think it is an improvement over the old form.

I am just beginning this process even though we have been engaged since November 2012 and I have been reading this forum since that time. I have learned from the mistakes of others and hope to avoid mistakes of my own.

Hopefully all things go well and we all see timely approvals.

Be blessed

Chris

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresinsufficient requirements

Make sure you have plenty of evidence with dates of your visit. Your word is not good enough for USCIS. I sent copies of receipts from restaurants in Philippines and copies of boarding passes. Unfortunately the boarding passes only have Day and Month but no year. I received Request for Evidence after only 3 weeks. The letter said to send proof of dates because of year not being on boarding pass. I returned copy of the confirmation email from online booking agent and copy of paid receipt for the flight.. If my information had been complete to begin with, we would have had NOA2 in only 21 days. Now we have been waiting for review of RFE since Sept 20 about 6 weeks.

Good luck in your journey

Chris

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNo Year on Airline Ticket/Boarding Pass!

Yes, That was my only RFE. No year was printed on the boarding pass. I sent other proof that had dates but they sent RFE anyway.

My reply to RFE was again copy boarding pass front and back, the luggage claim sticker on the back had the complete date. In addition I sent copy of my flight confirmation, receipt of purchasing the airline ticket, and copy of all pages of my U.S. Passport even though it is only valid for 3 more years.

 

Six weeks later we received NOA-2

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew i-129f form uscis instruction leave it blank or put N/A or None

We just finished our packet and sent today. I was wondering the same thing about the blanks but read the directions and they said to leave them blank, so I went back and deleted all of the spaces where I entered N/A and None. There were 4 places where there was not enough room so I put see attached and made a seperate continuation sheet for each.

We are very excited to begin this process. This forum has been a life saver, or at least a money saver. We decided against hiring a service or immigration attorney and go at it alone. Just us and VisaJourney.

Be blessed

Chris and Jean

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List

Our RFE stated that I sent boarding passes that had Day and Month on them but no year. I'm not sure why they didn't look at the date on the 20+ receipts I copied and sent as part of the proof of having met. I resent a (1) copy of boarding passes front and back (on the back the baggage claim tickets had day/month/year) (2) Copy of the flight confirmation email (3) Copy of the paid receipt email from the booking agency. (4) Copy of all pages, including front and back of my passport. I figured it is better to send too much than to receive another RFE.
