K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresyour opinions.
Hi! I'm from Ireland too and applying for K-1 visa. It says you need two to five of everything on the list. We have loads of photos and a few plane ticket stubs (we live together in Ireland although he is a US citizen so we don't have much in the way of emails and flights and stuff)

We have receipts of holidays we went on etc. We have our engagement ring receipt. Loads of photos will help, and if you have a real relationship you shouldnt worry too much. If you're going to be having a baby you need to file for a K-2 visa i think. it's different. The fee is 455 dollars for K-1 but not sure about K-2. It's not too bad. Her parents signing the affisdavit of support for you is totally fine as long as they tick the box saying they will FULLY support you as i presume you don't have a job yet?

Thank you! I know you send DCF to your local embassy but K-1 is definitely to Texas. Great! :)


Also... He's the USC and he's living in Ireland with me. Would there be any problem filing for a K-1 with this situation?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfrom ireland
I'm sending a K-1 visa application from Ireland? I send it to Texas right? Not Ireland embassy? I've asked this question before but was just looking at forums where one lady said she sent her K-1 package to Dublin. It was not a DCF visa, definitely a K-1.
thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWe want to fire our attorney. Please advice!
We were going to hire a lawyer too but they were so expensive and we would have had to mail all forms back and forth with signature. I would reccommend people not to hire one!

but i don't think they would be bothered to sabotage your case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresjust one copy....
Ok, thanks. Do you think this is a big deal? Im so mad at myself! We waited 3 weeks before sending to make sure everything was right and i just remembered I never sent that stupid attachment while sitting at the computer!!! ahhh!
aoifemcFemaleIreland2010-10-09 08:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresjust one copy....
thank you!

also, iv just realised.. On the g325a form all my employment wouldn't fit on the lines so i said 'please see attachment' and then i completely forgot to send away the attachment with my employment details on it!! this is like a smack in the face. i dont know what to do! should i send the attachment and a letter explaining or wait to hear from them?
aoifemcFemaleIreland2010-10-09 08:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresjust one copy....
i sent away our 1-129f package yesterday. i made copies of our proof of meeting and ongoing relationship for the interview but not any of the other forms. did i need them for the interview??
aoifemcFemaleIreland2010-10-09 07:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresquick question
I did a bit more of a detailed letter. I said on the space in the form 'please see attachment' and then i went on to explain the date we met, where we met, our anniversary date, holidays we've been on and our plans for the future etc... It might be a bit much but you have to do what you think is right. I wouldn't have felt comfortable saying we met on such a date and thats it!! I think all experiences are different, one guy on here sent in only one photo of him and his fiancee and another post i just read said they sent in 25! i sent 12.

best of luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressponsors sponors!!!
Just read the guidelines for minimum amounts and co sponsor makes more than enough to qualify very comfortably. so is this ok?

As long as the sponsor qualifies you are ok. If the petitioner does not meet the income requirements then a single co-sponsor may be used who meets the requirements.



thanks very much Anh map

Hi everyone. We have a family friend who has filled out the affidavit of support for us. My question is, is this sufficient to have him as our one and only sponsor? I'm reading alot about co sponsors here and just wondering if our sponsor is enough on his own. Does this make sense?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow do you track your package?
how do you keep track fo what's going on with your visa application. we sent away the electronic notification form with our package. do we have to wait for them to send us an email or is there a website?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresblack ink or blue ink does it really matter??
amyyduck you're so funny. i too shall poke my eyes out if something as ridiculous as blue or black can influence your petition!!! aaaaahh!! i refuse to stress over this. also, i was really really bold, i didn't attach the passport photos to the g325a with paper! i put them in a plastic freezer bag instead and slotted them into the plastic shee tthe g325a was in :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdvice needed before visiting my fiance please!!
hey sarah :)

have you read 'The Secret'? i know this might sound silly but everything helps.. Keep saying to yourself 'i'm so grateful i got into the US so easily'. we had a huge problem finding a co sponsor for our petition because my fiance is a dual citizen of ireland and US and we're living together in ireland with no jobs unfortunately... you knwo the way things are... so we needed someone to cosponsor us because really the both of us will be starting from scratch in US even though he is a US citizen. anyway! i kept using the secret, i kept saying how grateful i was that we found a sponsor... and then in 3 weeks a family friend in US volunteered out of the blue. people have been amazed by the secret!!! (i'm not a kook i swear ;))
aoifemcFemaleIreland2010-11-02 09:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTouched!!!
hello!! you type in your case number in the uscis website. then on the left once you log in there is an icon that says 'log in to my acocunt'. you can create a username and password there and then check the last updated section to see when you were touched. the thing that confused me was that putting your case number in does not mean you are logged in. you must be logged in with your username and password to see if you've been 'touched'. you must select 'add a new case to my portfolio to make an account.

good luck :)
aoifemcFemaleIreland2010-11-05 06:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestime of relationship?
i'd say your age is totally fine. it qould only be an issue if you were 57 and she was 20. there's not really a time limit on relationships. and by february 2011 you'll have known her close to a year. have ye visited each other? that would be good for providing proof of relationship for the 1-129f and your interview. I know we're all expecting to wait between 5 and 9 months for our visa's to come through. hopefully no longer!! i'm not sure if the daughter is a plus eactly but i'm sure it's not a negative either. but it's defintely not automatic denial if you're only together 6 months. whats important is getting al your proof of relationship ready like phone bills, engagement ring receipts, photos, travel itinerarys and passport stamps. good luck!
aoifemcFemaleIreland2010-11-05 06:56:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressponsor is aunt of fiance/pregnancy
We're also using a cosponsor. But I think Ireland is a fairly easy consulate so we should be ok, hopefully you will be too. It would be so unfair if they didnt accept a co sponsor. good luck.
aoifemcFemaleIreland2010-11-05 06:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA few logistial questions
i only know the amswer to one question and thats about the interview. bring absolutely everything that is proof of relationship, even if there are not many phone records. just bring everything you can! best of luck, we're waiting for our NOA2 aswell :)
