K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhere do we stand?
My SO is an american citizen and was over on a visitor visa. We tried to get married over here and then apply for a spouses visa for america. However we found that we could not get married in the UK because the UK goverment brough in a rule banning anyone not a resident from marrying. You have to enter the country on a fiancee visa or a special wedding visa or get married in a Church of England church.

www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/en/home/news/press_releases/getting_married_in/new_rules_for_getting.html

However this was recently challanged in the European court of human rights and the immigrants won, so this law might be repealed.

We ended up applying for K1 fiance visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew and it may be a silly question
We used a lawyer as we hadnt found this site yet, but have found them to very slow to respond to anything and took months after they had all the information to get the petition sent off.

Anyway if you are going to use one dont use *** immigration service as ourselves and another VJ member havent found them to be the best.

Just my two cents

Good to see it in the press, but it is rediculous that it was signed into law in January and bush gave Homeland security 2 months to insert two questions into the form, but 4 months later they still havent done it.

I know the wheels of goverment are slow, but .......

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAre California Transfers Going to the End of the Line
I got the same message this morning, informing that my petition had been received and they would mail me a response once processing was complete.

I would make a educated guess and assume that it has been recieved at CSC. I do love the flood of information that USCIS are giving me. :D
thesnowmanMaleUnited Kingdom2006-06-15 02:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long does it take?
Mine took just over 2 weeks, but I have heard of it taking over a month
thesnowmanMaleUnited Kingdom2006-06-21 11:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGotta laugh about new processing times
I tried using putting the zip code given on the USCIS website into google earth, but all it shows is a housing estate. If you have the proper address you might get an idea of the size of the building.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCase transferred from Nebraska to California


I received my NOA1 on May 5....my case was also moved to California, but I haven't been touched since. I don't know if they are only touching cases that were before May 1...does anyone know? Or has anyone had a case touched on June 1, June 2, and June 3 with a NOA1 after May 1?


Just glancing at timelines it seems the transfers from Nebraska to CA and then had multiple touches are on people who filed in March


Not true we filled in April and our NOA1 date is 24/04/06 and we have had 3 touches recently.
thesnowmanMaleUnited Kingdom2006-06-04 10:01:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCase transferred from Nebraska to California

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTouched
We got touched again today as well. I dont think my RFE will have arrived back there yet so hopefully they are working on the other aspects of my case and we can get approved quickly when the RFE comes in (wishful thinking I know)
thesnowmanMaleUnited Kingdom2006-07-05 09:37:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescenter change
I had the same problem. It appears that USCIS is restructuing the way it deals with petitions. California is becoming the service center for marriage based visas (alongside vermont) the other service centers are processing other types of petitions.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProcessing Times

My fiance talked to a USCIS representative on the phone yesterday and he told him that they process the cases according the NOA 1 .....


Well this is obviously not happening either at CSC or VSC. Must be the party line they are giving out

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting married before entering the US?
The K1 visa is used for getting married in the USA. If you are already married you need to file for a spousal visa which is a K-3 visa (i think).
thesnowmanMaleUnited Kingdom2006-07-14 10:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisitor Visa worth the trouble?
I visited the US when my K1 was pending, I would just ensure that you get your better half to bring strong documentation (letter from employer, pics of daughter, rental agreement etc) showing ties to Manila. She will likely get grilled for a good while at immigration, but as long as she doesn't lie and has no intention of screwing over the system you should be ok.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespolice check - Vanuatu
i am having the same problems trying to figure out if my fiancee who had worked in kuwait but now lives in the philippines will be required to get a police certificate from kuwait. Kuwait is on the list of "must be physically present to obtain certificate list". It says that it is impossible to get a certificate unless you are a resident of kuwait and submit fingerprints.

It seems clear cut that it wont be required at interview but it is impossible to contact manila embassy and get an answer. I am considering writing the kuwait embassy in the USA and hopefully have them write me a letter stating the impossibility of getting the certificate and having fiancee take that and the kuwait police certificate website info to her interview.
