US Embassy and Consulate Discussionjaurez mexico no packet recieved
i emailed jaurez and asked these questions

WOW! I just got off the phone on that 900#! I called to see If you had received anything on my k3 visa cdj---------. I have been receiving letters on my I 130 but nothing on my k3 so I called and WOW, what a shock, not only have you receive my papers, I have a interview date of June 6th. They did not say what time, I need to know that as well. They say that they mailed a packet on April 1rst, and another one on April 8th, I have never received anything at all! Now since one of our kids will need a tuberculosis test, I guess we have to be there four days early, and since our appointment is on Thursday will have to be there 7 days early in order to be ready, to go to the doctor on Friday is this correct? So now I have 23 days to get ready for something in which I received no papers to tell me how to get ready. I have several questions, I was born and raised on a farm in northern Indiana and do not know much about big cities, to make matters worse, while on hold on the phone on your pay number, they warn of a lot of violence and robberies in your area. They say not to show up before 6;30 as you do not open until 7:00, yet I read often that people have to show up at three or four in the morning to be able to get in to there appointment. The people on the phone somewhat agreed. If I have an appointment on June 5th will I get in on June 5th? I will have been in your town a week by this time, I here people say that it takes days before they get interviewed. I am told you have to sit on the street to wait to get in, and once in there is no food allowed, and you may wait inside almost a entire day. We have three children, one baby ten months old, and a 9 and 13 year old, if my wife needs to feed the baby, will she have to go out side? Will she lose her place in line if she goes outside? Should we even bring our children? We really have no one to watch them we are unsure of what situation we will encounter there with all the kids. My wifes neighbor said they were at your office getting some kind of visa and they were there untill 12 at night how late are you open? Also to pay doctors and visa fees may I use a credit card, as the 900# recommends you carry as little cash as possible.

I hope you can inform me on some of my concerns, hopefully tell me its all false!

Sorry for so many questions but I just learned I have a lot to figure out in 23 days thanks for your help!


and there only response was this


You don’t need to be here one week early, if your appointment is on Thursday, you can be here taking the medical exams on Monday or Tuesday. If you take a taxi do not let them take you to any Hotel because they usually scam the people charging a lot for a dirty room, we recommend that you stay in a hotel that belong to a chain, like Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Lucerna or Fiesta Inn. You also don’t need to be in line at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, you should be here at 6:30 a.m.

kind of odd isn't it they ignored most of what i asked who else can i ask inn the goverment?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMedical Exam info...Packet 3 or 4?
Hello everyone

JMy Fiancee just got her number 3 packet and our lawyer filed the response. Getting the medical and police report done will be helpful to have that filed. The medical examination and police check was done in Bangkok this past Monday. Both were done in in Bangkok. It nearly took her 3 to 4 hours to get all that dones plus innoculations. I am working on getting my financial documents in place as well as all of my correspondence recodrs and trips made to show a relationship clearly to the office as well.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionBangkok Interview
It is the wee hours of the morning and I am still in shock that my VISA process has moved ever so rapidly and the interview is set for March 18th.


See the posts at for further background
http://www.visajourn...h...=108011&hl=

Since that Radio show,engaging my Senator and just pure support from this forum I am shocked how things moved so quickly. I have not posted lately, because work has had me drained and my Mom's condition is getting worse and all of that really has worn me out. However, at 3AM this morning my phone rang with great news from the Bangkok embassy, your fiancée interview has been set for March 18th. I said What?, who is this and what again. It was nothing less than the US Ambassador's aid calling me. Again, I asked, who is this and he explained, again and I was left shocked. My VISA process has flew like the wind. Take a look at our time line and it speaks loud and clear. In came the NOA 2, Out it went from the USCIS, through the NVC and to Bangkok requesting the interview in record time. The interview, which normally takes a time of 2 months to get, as you guys know, is now set for March 18th. This is really quick considering also that there were no interviews for this month of February in Bangkok. On March 18th, my fiancée and I will be together in Bangkok for her interview.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionBangkok Interview
Hello everyone,

My SO finished her medical and police report. I am now trying to get the interview expedited in hope of having her here to be wed before my mother passes. My congressman is forwarding a expedite request to the US Thailand Embassy to see if they will move the interview date up. I am not sure yet when the interview is but my attorney in Thailand has all the papers for package 3 and 4 ready to go. How do you guys find out the interview date? I will do some searching perhaps I just missd it. Sawadee and it is hard enough having a long distance marriage Thai style.

QUOTE (Texas Farang @ Jan 4 2008, 12:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Just found this out last night: There will be no immigrant or fiance visa interviews at the Bangkok embassy during the month of February. Interviews will resume in March. I'm thankful we're set for 1/31, but also disappointed for those of you still waiting for your interview date/time. Want to make sure you can plan accordingly.

Good luck to all!




Taxas Farang,

Happy for you and your fiancee,

Boy I am hoping that the Febuary interviews do not push back everyone's timeline but it could. Good luck to you and I did use a US based attorney who resides in Thailand to help my fiancee through the process, but I am learning a lot through this forum. My Thai Fiancee is from Sakaeo near the Cambodian border and likes to eat frequently. I think all of us who have a Thai fiancee can relate to that statement, but she never gains a pound. Gee how do they do it. Good luck to you.

By the way they can sleep mak mak.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionFixing my mistake
Question (tried to call NVC, but they are closed due to snow): In my excitement/rush to keep things moving, I paid my I-864 invoice on the NVC website Saturday. Yet, today I received an email from the embassy in Turkey giving me instructions (I'm guessing this was the 'packet 3' as they said no paper version would be sent) on downloading the forms and what other documents they need. In this, they said I need to submit the I-134 support document. In my confusion, I went back to the NVC site and see that it says to contact NVC if we are planning to adjust status after the beneficiary comes here. That is the plan. So, will me paying the support invoice mess things up? Or can they cancel it (payment is still showing as processing)?

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionvisa fee
Ok, I am sure this question has been asked many times before. I have called all the phone numbers on the usis website, i have even called the foreigh embassy, and still I have no clue as to what the exact cost of the visa is going to be. I filed the I-129f before the increase in july. On the embassy website it says as of Jan 1 2008 the visa fee has risen from $100 to $131. My question is do I only need to send her $131 for the visa or will I have to pay $455 on the day of her interview as well? I just want answers, maybe i have not made myself clear to the operators, or maybe they just dont know how to answer my question. but i need helpsmilie.gif . The only information i can give is that when I called the washington office they have told that I have not paid any fees, I do not know what this means for sure but this is what they have told me. They then gave me a website link that has fees listed, and I am in the same boat I was in before. Do I or don't I? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure what number he was using. He is going to give it a try again tomorrow. He was pretty busy at work so maybe he just called at the wrong time.

Oh I have seen the info on that james and Miranda. I'm a pretty avid troller. Just miss a few things here and there. :D I've told him to ask for the paperwork before leaves the medical office. Sure don't want to it all over again once he gets over here. It's expensive enough without having to repeat things that are already done.

Thanks guys,

Yeah we are moving right along. Right up to the point when we file the waiver then we will come to a screeching halt and be waiting and going nuts i'm sure. But at least we are expecting it .

He's going to put a note in the packet before he sents it back and see if they will try to schedule his interview the same day. Can't hurt to ask. All they can do is ignore it. He doesn't have his medical that day until 3:45 so if they would schedule his interview early in the morning he should have enough time to do both.
Keep our fingers crossed, if not well we will do ok.

Well we got a date for the medical. Boy they must be backed up. At first they were going to make it for the end of April but fiance ask them to look again so we ended up with April 6th. My question is since he has to fly over to do the medical, would it hurt to ask for an interview the same day so he won't have to fly back again? We already know we won't be approved that day due to filing the I-601 waiver so it really doesn't matter if the medical is done by then anyway.

Should we include a note asking for April 6th? I figure what could it hurt

JoeCanukMaleCanada2007-06-12 09:01:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussionpaperwork for interview

I believe that's only for the application process to USCIS. The interview at the consulate is a different matter altogether.

Your checklist (Packet 3) should have mentioned what you need to obtain so that you can bring it to the interview. Depending on where your interview is at (Vancouver or Montreal) that list can change.

Can I ask why you're including proof of military service in there? In all likelihood your certificate is good enough, but that depends on what kind of purpose you're intending it for.


Thanks for answering. Ahh...the checklist is 'packet 3'? I had no idea that's what it was called. Nice that I could get the answer from you on this thread but nobody could answer me on a thread about packet 3. lol

Ok, my checklist mentions nothing about bringing anything from the 129F. I wouldn't see why I'd bring it when the Consulate would already have all that stuff because the petition was approved. It tells me to bring MY birth certificate (not my fiancee's...and honestly...I wouldn't be bringing hers because I don't have it and it's not wise to send you ID to someone through the mail), police clearance, etc.

I'm also including proof of military service because I was in the Canadian Forces. I have my certificate of honourable discharge and still have my service card so I will bring those two. They will, however, not be keeping them and I hope they don't expect to be keeping them. Thanks again.

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

At the discretion of the officer, original documents may still be required in individual cases. Please be advised that USCIS no longer returns original documents submitted with the exception of Certificates of Naturalization, Forms I-551, Permanent Resident Card, Forms I-94, Arrival/Departure Document, valid passports, or those specifically requested by the officer. Such documents will be returned when they are no longer needed.

FAQ:

4.3.6)...What should I bring with me to the interview?
A...You need everything from the checklist, of course, but you also need originals of everything that was originally submitted as a copy, even with the I-129F petition (except the US Citizens passport and the original I-797 approval notice). Original birth certificates, divorce or death decrees, and originals of any documents to support the I-134 fall into this category. The Consulate has the right to ask for the original of any document, so best be prepared.

http://www.visajourn...tion.html#4.3.6


They need 129F stuff that they already have?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Supporting Required Evidence
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why. I'm bringing with me what the packet requested. It said nothing about an updated version. I am not going to go back to Montreal for another interview so they will have to accept it. Yes, the financial info is 6 months old. The guy is in the air force on a salary. It's not my fault the consulate takes a third of a year to get back to you for your interview after you tell them you have everything.

JoeCanuk,

When the consular officer reviews the material that you submit they will tell you either that it is adequate or that they would like to see something more current.

From what you write here it seems that the fiancial documetation that you have to present is 6 months old? I cannot predict what the officer might say - I would not be surprised either way.

Yodrak

Ok. So how come I wasn't informed of this in my packet? I'll have to go with what I have now. My sponsor is in the US Air Force. The officer will have to be satisfied with that. I wasn't informed otherwise. Nothing in my packet said to bring an updated version.

JoeCanuk,

The consular officer will decide how current the financial information needs to be. One officer may be comfortable with information that is a few months old, another may want to see information that is more current. You won't know for sure until the officer looks at the information you present and forms an opinion.

Yodrak

What the hell is all this? Where do you people get this information? I was under the impression that the affidavit of support I bring is the one the petitioner gave me back after she filed. Now I have to get an updated one by tomorrow? What the hell!?

Photo copies of past 6 months pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview??? Uh...sorry...but I was not told that in my "packet 3". What the hell!?



The information I have from my sponsor is up to the end of December 2006. I then notified the Consulate in January when I had everything that I 'supposedly' (according to my packet) needed. Then it took until May to get my interview date. I was still not notified that I needed to bring an updated version. Therefore I cannot and the officer will have to be satisfied.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Supporting Required Evidence
Update. When you inform the consulate that you have everything you need, you are telling them you have the affidavit of support completed as well. Then it takes a few months before you get your interview. When you go to your interview you bring the completed affidavit of support that you got when you said that you had everything.

There is no need to 'update' it to just a few weeks before the interview. My "packet 3" never told me whatsoever to "update" it.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionBringing petitioners birth certificate, etc. to interview?

And all I know is, subjectivity or no subjectivity, I am following instructions and bringing what I was told to bring. And my fiancee has stated over and over again that she is not giving me her birth certificate.


You will most likely be fine without it - people just want you to be aware that you could be asked to show originals of any documents, including the petitioner's birth certificate. Probably very unlikely (it varies from consulate to consulate how much they want to see at the interview, in any case), but... just be aware of the possibility. Before I had my interview I was asking questions to find out if I'd really need a copy of my then-fiance's marriage certificate from his previous marriage (he is the USC) - he was of the opinion that that was a ridiculous requirement (given that we'd already sent in his divorce decree with the I-129F), he didn't have a copy of it and wasn't about to apply for one. In the end, I was barely asked for anything at interview, let alone that. But... when I originally asked the question, I was a bit worried when a couple of people confirmed that yes, they had been asked for the petitioner's previous marriage certificate at interview. If I remember right, those people had been interviewed in Montreal... I know it's not the same thing, but it sounds like Montreal aren't above making seemingly pointless requests of K-1 applicants at interview, just be aware of that!

Also... I would second what Yodrak says. There's no point having the attitude that any requirement in this process is ridiculous/pointless/whatever, because at the end of the day if the CO asks you for something, you have no option but to smile sweetly (or not) and give them what they ask for - they couldn't care less about you, me, or any other foreign beneficiary, they're not there to do us any favours, they're not doing us a service, they are allowing USCs the PRIVILEGE (not right) of applying to bring their foreign fiance(e)s/spouses to the US. Our opinions on the efficiency or otherwise of the whole process are less than irrelevant!

Oh... good luck, by the way. And really, you should be fine without your fiancee's birth certificate - I really don't think it's something people are asked for on a regular basis! Don't let the infuriating-but-accurate standard VJ response of 'they have the right to ask for anything they like' worry you overmuch... just be aware that the reason people say this is because it's true! :)


No problem. Thank you very much. I understand they're just trying to say it could happen.

I do think we have the right to be annoyed with things though. If you bring everything you're told to bring to your interview and they pull a fast one on you, you should be angry even if you don't show it. You're paying for the whole process after all.
