K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 - Consulate : Data points and general over view of what we are looking at for post-NOA2
I think your plan is very doable, as long as you and the fiancee move with speed and urgency. Provided there are no hang ups at USEM, and no medical issues, she very well could be in your arms by Christmas day.

Now that would make a great New Years!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis my fiance's income is enough???
I had my head up my @#$ when I posted the figures backwards.

I don't multi-task well.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis my fiance's income is enough???

I'm terribly sorry, the 125 Percent rule is used here.
Nota Bene: This is in the wrong forum.



Darnell you are correct, thanks for pointing that out. I was multi-tasking and got the figures backwards and did not finish my thought on that point.
My finished thought would have been "you only need to be 125% above the poverty, not 100% as stated on here."

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis my fiance's income is enough???

that was his income that appeared in his ITR for 2010.. he is currently employed as a full time and part time nurse.. and his income for this year i could say is much enough than the given poverty guideline.. what do you think?




yes! he is currently employed as a full time and part time nurse... :)



Since you're your fiance filed a I-129F for the K-1, he will submit a I-134 (Affidavit of Support) therefore you only need to be 100% above the poverty level, not 125%.

And from what you have written here, with both a part-time and a full time postion as a RN, he will meet the guide lines with no problem.

Your fine!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures90 Days questions

GG just arrived yesterday to the usa on 11-11-11. They told us our 90 day date is Feb 8th even though it should be Feb 9th? Anyways what I want to know is do we turn something in at the 90 days? If so, what? or Do we only have to be married by the 90 days?

Also I know this is nearly the same question but if we have something to turn in Does it have to be turned in by the 90 days or only have to be married on a date before the 90 days?

We're getting married on Feb 4th. What I'm trying to get figured out is if that is enough time before our 90 days of the 8th.

What happens at the point of the 90 days? I mean what do we need to do?

Thanks in advance.


What a nice date of arrival to the USA. Get married in 90 days and you have fulfilled the first step of the K-1.

When you're ready to AOS, click here and follow the guides.

Congratulations!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresaffidavit of support, gross or net?

I'm trying to make sure I'm above poverty level but I'm not sure about 2 things. Do they base it on gross or net pay? I also have other deductions on my paystubs for pre tax medical insurance, 401k and child support. Are those deductions also considered when trying to make the 125% poverty line for 2 of $18,387? I hope smbody understands what I'm trying to ask and can help me...thanks for any help.



Gross income.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F while on B2

Thanks for your replies!

I feel a bit dubious about crossing the border while I-129F is pending, although most of people on these forums say there shouldn't be a problem visiting on B2 in such situation, provided that sufficient ties are presented. Last time I visited my GF I got pulled into secondary inspection (second time ever, POE ORD), but everything went smooth :thumbs: and I managed to ask the CBP officers a few questions. I got an answer that in 9 out of 10 cases one would be returned back home, cause they come here to stay and adjust despite having their petition pending. So yeah, after that I decided I'd like to stay in the US and wait there for our approval.

Also, I noticed that I-129F processing times are a bit shorter than 6-9 months ago, I guess it's possible to get the NOA2 after 3-4 months of waiting? If so, that's great news and makes my plan even more feasible :)

Kind regards!


Good luck for a speedy approval!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForeign Anulment for Philippine K1 app

I think it may affects a Philippine marriage since it hasn't been legally recognized but then again all I need is a Legal capacity from my embassy to get a marriage license so I will not go through NSO. My fiancee would have to but not me. I may still get itrecognized but thats the least of my concern honestly.



No need or requirement for you to get your previous marriage recognized in by a Philippine court. The process of getting an annulled/voided marriage or divorce recognized by the Philippine court is not simple and does not apply to you.

You are correct, your ex will need to endure the process of the court recognizing the voided marriage should she want to marry in the Philippines again.
LeatherneckMalePhilippines2011-11-13 12:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForeign Anulment for Philippine K1 app
Submit proof of the voided/annulled marriage, that proves you are legally able/free to marry.
That is what USCIS and the CO will look for.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa denied, USCIS received it after 1 month
Even though you have no plans to continue the K-1 process, you need to be ready to deal with a NOIR should that be the course of action USCIS takes. Your K-1 situation does not prevents you from getting married, you're free to do so.
LeatherneckMalePhilippines2011-11-14 08:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa denied, USCIS received it after 1 month
OP be ready to respond to any NOIR (Notice of Intent to Revoke) or NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny) should you get one.
You have a pending 212(a)(6)(c )(i) in the your file. If you (the petitioner that is) fail to respond, USCIS will revoke the approval of the petition. If that happens it becomes a finding of misrepresentation in the beneficiaries file.

Even if you get married, this will result in a denial at the interview for your CR1.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChange of Address of the PETITIONER

HI VJ'ers! Just want to ask about my fiance'change of address. When we filed our 129f he used his old address to all the forms required for filing the 129f . And now he moved and got a new address and our case is already forwarded to USEmbassy in Manila.I will have my interview this month and he put his new address to affidavit of support and forms needed for my interview.I am a bit worried that it may cause trouble about changing of address. :bonk:



No, it will not cause any trouble, people move all of the time. He simply does a change of address, you are aware of the new address should the CO ask you about it, so no problem.

Make an attachment to the I-129 for that question then explain you do not have access to that information. Provide her name, date of birth and SSN if you have it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance changing decision

I really appreciate all for taking time to share your thoughts. I believe that we can still work out on this. I just need to listen to some thoughts out here before I / we could finally decide as this is a serious matter. I don't wanna make a decision that I would regret later. There was no problem with my Fiance before then just recently he felt so much pressures. He is just the type of person who wants to be prepared all times. He has an excellent credit rating as he is financially responsible. He is a good man and we do have a very good communication. I just think we just have to delay or take time for now. Time is running fast for our visa expiration but in the essence it is best to pray and ask God for guidance. I trust God to take care of us. Hopefully whatever outcomes we have it would be for our mutual benefit. I'm very optimistic that this situation is just temporarily and that things happened for a reason. Thank you all for sharing wonderful thoughts and God bless everyone :) Bye ! :)



You're difinitely the person that know's best and is capable of making the right decision for you, your children and your relationship.

Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance changing decision
Much of what you post is personal and only you and your fiance can decide what is best or if your relationship will work out. But if he has cold feet now at this point when you have the visa (s) in your hands, that doesn't bode well for a smooth relationship once you're here.

This is the moment all the waiting and effort was for, so for him to have doubts now, that really should alarm and concern you..

If the visa for your children expire, you have to get new visas.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI need to bring her here!!!

I love this site! I love you, i love inky, i love my wife, i love God, i love everything! I posted a couple of hours ago after days of research as a last resort, thinking it was a lost cause and when it came time to process the paperwork id be taking the biggest shot in the dark of my life! But within 2 hours, every question i was worried about has beeen answered:) thank you both sooo much!

Will my wife have to wait even after shes had her interview and been approved to come to america, if shes had the child already? I would think they would let a lil baby come with the mom. But i could also see them saying, hold on, you have to wait till the birth abraod form and the babies passport is approved b4 your wife can come to the U.S. with the child. And whats the bio pade of the babies passport going to look like? Are they gonna take a picture of a baby? passports are valid for ten years, what about 9 years from now when i take my kid to see his relatives in the philippines, when he hands baggae check in his passport and the guy opens it up to see a babies photo lol??? Is that really what happens?


After the birth of your child, you and your wife need to take the necessary steps to secure a CRBA and passport so any travel delay is kept to a minimum. Yes pics of the baby and both parents are required. Read this and this.

As far as taking the baby to see the relatives in 9 years from now, you have enough to be concerned with now in this process -- You can worry about 9 years from now, well, 9 years from now.

Good luck.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMedical Examination and Visa Expiration
Bob makes a very valid point about your medical and interview. Simple math says your visa will expire long before March 2013.

It's far easier to reschedule an interview than to get an expired visa reissued.

At this late stage of the process -- you should have your case number.

My husband received a phone call 1st week of March 2012 (gosh, it took a year to find out the result) saying that our CR1- visa was denied again coz we are married less than 2 years.


"CR1- visa was denied again coz we are married less than 2 years." Simply put -- that is a bold lie.

Tell (do not ask) him you want to see a copy of the I-797 he received from USCIS. He can even show the I-797 to you on via webcam.

Yes you need to file a separate I-130 and fees for your fiancee's child. That I-129F you plan to file will be closed administratively -- the K-3 is an obsolete visa option. After your I-129F is closed, the I-130 will continue to be processed so your fiancee can apply for the IR1/CR1 visa.

If so, how can i cancel my interview? pls help me.


Personally at this point I would not cancel anything -- stop digging holes for yourself, don't complicate things. :)

Now that you have two different interview dates -- I would just attend the earliest scheduled interview. After attending that interview, I would send an email to the immigrate visa unit to cancel the other interview. What you don't want to do at this point is for some embassy employee to get confused and cancel both interviews based on an email you send or some other attempt by you to cancel one of the two interviews that are scheduled.

This is the email address: IVMNLAppointments@state.gov
