K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportstransit visas and flight issues for Kenyans on K-1
Good place to check is visa

Note that he is not considered a resident of the US with the K-1 visa, he has to have the green card.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportstax returns
You being his wife has nothing to do with him filing his prior years tax returns, he will still be listed as single and file accordingly. You can do all the paperwork for him if you have the knowledge, a straight forward return takes like 15 mins as said previously, and then he signs it and mails it.

There is something else going on here, perhaps he owes back taxes or child support? No one just doesn't file a tax return for years because they "are too busy".

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportstax returns
A US citizen is required to file a tax return each year unless their income is below a certain level. Since the military offers free tax assistance I find it hard to believe he didn't have time to file his returns.
Even if somehow you were able to get an approval for the visa without the tax returns they will be required for filing for AOS when you arrive in the US.
He needs to find his pay records and file his taxes ASAP.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsour story
Email works great. Then follow-up with a letter. I don't know about now but we had to send the Packet three UPS from the US. So get copies of it and UPS it to them and keep checking the website for an interview date. I know it is a big pain in the A$$ dealing with Ankara but keep on it, the pay off in the end is well worth it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow can we cancel our k-1 visa?
Sounds like maybe you are using a visa service? I have never heard of USCIS offering to refund a fee, at best they would instruct him to refile the paperwork with a letter stating why there is no fee attached and a copy of the canceled check from the first filing. I am also curious how USCIS was able to look up the case without a case number.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCalling Congressman before 5 months ???
A congressman can only assist if the case is outside processing times or if there is a specific problem. If contacting them would speed up the processing all of us would have done it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdvance Parole
Yes. It will take about 3 months to receive the AP document. If there is a compelling reason you must leave the US soon after arriving on the K-1 perhaps you should simply delay coming here until said reason is past. The K-1 visa, once issued, is usually valid for 6 months.
belinda63FemaleIran2011-05-02 10:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdvance Parole
You have to apply for AOS to apply for advanced parole. You can file the AOS, employment, and advance parole paperwork all at the same time. But you must have an AOS application pending to obtain advance parole.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMY K1 Visa
Have your SO call DOS (department of state) and they can tell you if it still under administrative processing. The length of time is dependent upon a lot of factors and no one can predict how long it will take.

Hoping you get an answer soon, and never give up the hope.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsLetter of Invitation for inlaws
A letter of invitation while nice, is not required for a person to obtain a tourist visa to the US. What they will be required to show is strong ties to their country to show they will return. The embassy considers all applications for a tourist visa to be for immigration purposes until proven otherwise. It would be best for them to gather things such as proof of employment, rental agreements or mortgage papers, proof of property ownership, etc.

Dennis&DaneMalePhilippines2009-08-24 08:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsnoa2 today!!!!
update: I recieved the hardcopy NOA2 on 8/29/09. then I got the NVC notice in the mail 8/31/09... I called the Dept. of State this morning they confirmed that our case was in Manila and being processed. so.. tonight at 8:05pm eastern time, I called the embassy in manila to try to set up the interview date and they said that our case was not yet in the system... so now I guess I will wait until monday evening(here)/ Tuesday Morning (there) to call back.. Hopefully it will be in the system!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsnoa2 today!!!!
UPDATE!!!!! Still no hard copy Noa2, But I called NVC today and was given A MNL case number.. they said it had not been forwarded to manila yet but to check back next week! Also they said they received it on 8/26/09 my approval email was dated 8/23/09 so only 3 days from USCIS TO NVC that seems pretty quick after waiting 139 days for the noa2!

I GOT MY NOA2 TRACKING THRU DHL

1) 2 days after NOA2, starting calling NVC: 603-334-0700 press 1 then 5.
2) Once NVC has your case, they assign a new case #. Ask them what date they sent your file to the embassy & also for the NVC case #.
3) Once you know the date NVC sent off the file, track it at DHL's website: http://track.dhl-usa...?nav=TrackByRef For the reference code, enter EXP 10 JUL 2009A (adjust using dates just before the date NVC told you), with a shipping range of that day to a few days later (July 13 - July 14 worked for the example above). Look for shipments to your beneficiary's embassy.
4) To find out if the embassy processed the packet, call the Dept of State before 5pm: 202-663-1225 press 1 then 0

So NVC sent our petition to Manila USEM Oct 07... I have been calling the embassy 888 number to get an interview.. and everyday I have been getting the same answer.. they cant schedule an interview because the hard copy docs are not there yet... so, I got worried that it had been lost so today I called NVC they confirmed it had been sent.. then I called DOS they said Congrats..your interview is November 20, 2009 @7:00 am.


well tonight I called back to the embassy to try to get the appointment changed to earlier.. the embassy asked how I got the interview date.. I told them.. then they acted like I was crazy.. and said to call back in 2 - 4 weeks to try to change it...

Hey good old April folks, :-)

Congrats to those who got their visa and our prayer to those who will be getting one soon. My Fiancee's interview is on the Nov 17th. I am scared and excited at the same time. We are going through New Delhi which they say is a tough nut to crack. Lots of people have received 221g but hopefully we can satisfy the CO. Keep us in your prayers please. star_smile.gif
