K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresskype and video conversations
My fiance and I met via a Christian dating site and we chat everyday on facebook and talk on the phone whenever we can but we did not video chat too often because of the conflicts on our schedules. She work for a call center with an American account and works at night (which is morning in the US) and I work on 2nd shift (3pm to 11Pm). She also works on the weekends so we really don't have a lot of time to have video conversations. Are video conversations very important proof of the on going relationship? Will we still be approved even if we only had a few?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview schedules from July 20 to August 13 were all taken???
My bride told me yesterday that the earliest interview date that she will possibly get is on August 14. She said she talked to someone on a facebook group for VJ members who just set an appointment for interview. Anxious about her interview, she asked that lady if there are still a lot of slots left for July. The lady said the last for July is July 19 and the next interview date available after that is on August 14.

Is that possible?

We got approved on June 19 and still waiting for our case number. We are hoping to have her interview between the last week of July and first week of August.

No, just photocopies. I think for the payment, they don't accept personal checks. My fiance sent a money order.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat do I bring with me to the k1 visa interview

Hi, I am scheduled to appear for an interview in less than a month from now. I was just chatting with my fiance, and he asked me to make sure if I need him to send me the original NOA1, NOA2 and NVC confirmation letters since he is a bit apprehensive about sending it fearing that they might get lost in the mail. Can anyone here please tell me what to bring? To those of you who have done this before please let me know what I need to bring to the embassy in Manila. Thank you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat to do
Usually you have to wait from 4 to 24 hours for them to update their system and have your payment on file. Maybe the system is down because of the flood at Roxas Blvd. They will resume business tomorrow at 10am. You can try scheduling online or call tomorrow. Good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFilling out I-134
If you meet the income requirement your fiancee only needs your 2009, 2010, and 2011 ITR and W2, recent pay stubs and your employment certificate. My fiance meets the income requirement but we decided to add his bank statements and 401k. You don't need to send her the 129f and noa2. keep the noa2 for the adjustment of status

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Denied :(

Thanks for all the replies.

I will wait to get the letter, but I am pretty sure the denial is due to not enough info.

So it looks like my best bet will be to refile. Now since I filed once, then do a completely new I-129F submission, there won't be any issues? It should not be too hard to get the info needed. The big hassle will be for her G-325 with signature, and passport style pics.


Ask your fiancee to fill up the form and send it to you the earliest time possible. You can help her in answering the form when you video chat. Ask her to send it via express mail or fedex. Good luck!
nealxetteNot TellingPhilippines2012-08-01 09:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Denied :(

Thanks for the list. Needed or not, I will provide all of that and more. At this point I would rather send a box of stuff than risk not having enough info and getting denied again.


No, don't send to much stuff. Read the guides. :)
nealxetteNot TellingPhilippines2012-07-31 22:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Denied :(

You do not need that much evidence Nealxette. A lot of people have sent 1 picture or no emails and cards. While what you have is a good guide and general overkill/ frontloading, you do not need all these things!

Read the guides MJ. Be prepared to start again. Ask any questions you have here before you post anything new off.

Our K-1 petition was approved before we changed our course of action so feel free to ask me any questions.


Those are the exact numbers of evidence that we sent and we were approved. I was just trying to help.
nealxetteNot TellingPhilippines2012-07-31 22:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Denied :(
I hope this could help:


1. I-129f Cover letter
2. Payment
3. I-129F
4. I-129F Supplement: Part B, Question 18, explanation of meeting in person
5. G-325A and passport style photo (Petitioner & Beneficiary)
6. Birth certificate (Petitioner)
7. Letter certifying intent to marry (Petitioner & Beneficiary)
8. Proof of having met in person in the past two years
- Photocopy of with passport stamps
- Boarding passes
- Hotel and restaurant receipts
- Tickets (movies, parks, etc.)
- 5 pictures together, 1 picture with family
9. Proof of ongoing relationship
- 5 copies of e-mails
- 5 copies of letters
- 5 copies of cards
- 5 skype screen shots


You can add more evidence but 5-10 pieces/copies of each are enough.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Denied :(
I'm sorry to hear that. Aside from the I-129f form you should include evidences to prove your relationship. Read the guides for K1 visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting Fiance' next month what should we prepare?
When my husband (then fiance) first went to the Philippines he brought all the paperwork that we needed to send for the I-129F petition. We reviewed and signed them together. Maybe you can just download the forms in your laptop and you guys can fill it out together and just print them at the business center of your hotel. You may want to bring a copy of your birth certificate and 2 previous tax forms and w2's so you don't have to worry about sending them for her interview. If you bought an engagement ring you can also bring the receipt. They didn't ask for the receipt of my engagement ring but there are some strict CO's who might ask for it. If you were previously married, bring a copy of your divorce decree. We took a lot of pictures and saved restaurant and hotel receipts. Just prepare everything on the VJ checklist. :)

We received our NOA-1 Feb 19th, and no news yet.... what drives me crazy is sending my Petition from the Mid West all the way to Cali and then wait, wait, wait ...while it seems all around me are dates of people receiving NOA-2's. It makes me worry that something is wrong with mine, maybe I filed it incorrectly... I don't know... it's just hard. We get excited because the dates are bouncing all around us, and of course Vermont is going like gangbusters (which doesn't seem fair, but what is in life) and here we are still waiting... it's hard to get all pumped up, then slow back down and wait... you know? Good luck to all us Feb people,,, maybe someday we will hear the mailbox calling innocent.gif

I place I-129F on the question, but actually the question was refering to the G-325A. Sorry..

Hello all, smile.gif the kind of work I do is for a large Corporation. The corporation is broken into 6 divisions. Mideast, Midsouth ect... all have corporate addresses, and each location within the 6 Divisions has addresses.... I manage a location in Indiana, for the Midwest Division that is located in Chicago. But the Main Corporate Headquarters is in Birmingham. My paychecks come from Birmingham, so do I use this address? The reason I am concerned is because when I fill out the I-134 support form, the letter will more than likely come from my HR department in Chicago, with the Corporate letter head and all... but the address will be different... Not sure how picky this is going to get. Thanks, John

Maybe a really stupid question, but I have to ask.... Is there ANYTHING that would cause my wife to be forced to return after the Visa was approved, entered the country, and we are married?

We get married and stay married.... my job status, my support income changes, or I go to jail.... none of these things (I dare say) would never happen, but the question remains, and with answers is knowledge, and knowledge is important.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures3 Questions
QUOTE (jnav29 @ Jul 28 2008, 05:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
1) I was born in Puerto Rico so that makes me a citizen from the day I was born. On the I-129F, question 10, it asks how I obtained my citizenship whether by Birth in the US or by Naturalization. I was not technically born in the US. Not sure how to answer. I think born in the US makes the most sense. Anyone out there born in Puerto Rico or and American territory that is not a state?

2) I have a past criminal history going back 15 years. Can anyone explain or tell me if they have had past criminal history and if they encountered any issue when filing the I-129F? What would cause me to be denied a finace visa based on past criminal history? My criminal is history is not the worse in the world, no murder or anything like that and like I said it was 15 years ago.

3) Also does credit history play a part in the I-129F proccess? I am going through foreclosure and was wondering if that would be a cause for me to be denied. I have not filed for bankruptcy. Should I avoid filing for backruptcy while I do the I-129F process?


I only can help with 3) They will look at your income level only and see if you qualify, from what I understand and have learned, they do not look at your credit.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCR1 Interview Manila...She Was Approved. !!!!!!!!

Congratulations :thumbs: It should only take a few days to get the visa to DELBROS. Good luck! Did she do the CFO thingy?

She has done the CFO Seminar already once, but it my understanding that she has to do so again to get the sticker placed on her Visa, so she will go back again after receiving her Visa.Seems like such a waste in knowing she had to do so once when she changed her name on her passport to her married name...So now we wait for the delivery, and buying her plane ticket.



HI

I WANNA KNOW, IF AFTER THE INTERVIEW THE CONSUL WILL IMMEDIATELY TELL WHETHER ITS APPROVED OR NOT? IF ITS DENIED WILL THE CONSUL TELL U ASAP?

HOW MANY DAYS ESTIMATED WILL THE VISA ARRIVE FROM DELBROS?

IS THE CONSUL WILL CONGRATULATE U , DOES IT MEAN ITS APPROVED?

PLEASE ANSWER ..THANK YOU VERYY MUCH....GOD BLESS!!!
