K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGOT B1/B2 for my parents
The length of stay they allow per visit depends on the Immigration officer. Should you need your parents to extend their stay though, you can always send out a request.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCAN SHORT TIME IN MARRIAGE AFFECT CO DECISION
Nigeria is a high fraud country yes. And so is the Phililppines. YOur meeting through a family friend might indeed raise a red flag. And for everyone's understanding filing for K3 involves, I129F as well after the I130.

Make sure your husband knows almost everything about you especially the relevant things: your employment, your position, the department you work with, how much you are getting, your full address, you date of birth, full names, your parents' name and contact details, your family, joint bank accounts will help too. Show them that despite the very short courtship, you are building each other's future after marriage. Chat transcripts, and yes if work allows you, make another trip.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInformation Packet

I think there is a partial misunderstanding of the question. There is no reason you cannot begin getting together the stuff you will need for the interview now. Police reports, birth certificates, divorce decrees... and all the translations and certifications that will go with it. Go to the Kiev embassy website and download their KEV-1 form to see what you will need. Ask again on VJ if you are uncertain on some of it. (E.g., you do NOT need the DS-230 for a K-1). Sure, some stuff takes a long time, start now!

Diana is right that you can't do the physical or pay any fees until the embassy has your packet from the NVC. I believe the police reports do have a lifetime, they're either good for 6 months or a year. Forget which, but either way you should be good. My Kiev interview is in 2 weeks and will be 6 months after filing the I-129f and that includes one RFE. You may be faster. Good Luck!


As far as required documents are concerned - go ahead and start with it. But with the forms to fill out for the interview at the consulate/embassy, I would advise you wait until you have an interview date as forms may be updated.

GOOD LUCK!

US Citizenship General DiscussionShipping jewelry overseas to my fiancee?
I think it's more than the customs... It's really not advisable to send any piece of jewelry in the mail.

I forgot to add that the one person who was not able to show up on time arrived after the ceremony. She said there was another wreck on her way in and that got her really late. The IOs accommodated her even after that and conducted another oath ceremony just for her - which was AWESOME!

 

Overall, it was a happy day!

Review for Oath Ceremony: Louisville, KY, 9/25/13

 

My schedule was at 10am and I live about 30 minutes from the venue. I was told that there would be a registration and check-in so we decided to leave the house at 8:45. My in-laws were with us in a separate vehicle looking forward to witness the ceremony. About 20 minutes into the trip, we encountered a standstill traffic on the interstate due to a bad wreck. We got stuck for about an hour with a screaming toddler in the background. My son was not happy that the vehicle was not moving as much as when we go through decent traffic conditions. I got to the building at 10:25am. My husband dropped me off to find a parking. I was checked in in less than 5 minutes and the IOs are all aware of the traffic situation and decided to wait until 11 to give everyone  a chance to make it. There was a total of 50 people taking oath. There were designated seats for friends and family and a separate set of seats for oath-takers. At 11 there were 49 of us and the ceremony started. The program was very laid back and easy - but it was solemn. We then introduced ourselves to the rest of the crowd stating our country of origin and our city of residence in KY. 

 

We then stated our pledges and oaths and listened to the speech of the President. We were then given our certificates and the program concluded at 11:25 - short and sweet. Took pictures and we headed for lunch to celebrate. 

 

Congrats to Vanessa and Azure!

I'm getting ready for mine this morning. The venue is just one block from yhe USCIS office where I had my interview and bio. Wish me luck. I have a very active and independent 15-month-old who is VERY vocal about his needs. You know I'm just saying things in a positive light regarding my baby. Lol I still don't know what to wear either. I will update as soon as I can!

No he did not say, he just said that I have to go back. I introduced him to my principal who needed to give me the time off of work.
 
 


The only angle I can see what is conflict of interest that you have his son as a common ground? Oh heck that is weird. And for him to pop-up in school telling you "unofficially" that you have to go back is even weirder. I would like to see how this pans out Friday. Good luck!
