No, you can sent off your AoS package without your SSN. After you got at least your EAD, you can go back to SSA office and apply for SSN.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswaiting time for indonesian divorce

 
Hi there, I'm the fiancee.. :) Thank you for your response. No I don't have joint custody. I actually have settlement agreement signed and notarized before divorce. In that agreement, my ex gave up his parental rights. But when I filed for divorce I didn't put the agreement in, meaning the court didn't know anything about the agreement, even so I still got sole custody of my son.
 
 
Is my settlement agreement good enough to prove that my son doesn't have a father anymore and make my fiance easier to adopt my son?




The US embassy in Jakarta will likely ask a proof that your former husband gave up his parental rights which is you already have now. But, gave up the parental rights does not mean your son doesn't have father anymore. Your former husband still the father because his name on your son's birth certificate ( the US embassy will ask a copy of this as your son will apply for K-2 visa).

If your fiancé wants to adopt your son, better to learn US family laws, I am not sure about that since I have only learned Indonesian laws in my university. And it will likely apply to the US laws because he will adopt your son in the US.

I suppose I should've said we 'were quite worried' instead of 'are'. Nonetheless, we probably will be somewhat worried throughout the whole process until everything goes through.

 

USCIS focus to the petitioner instead of the beneficiary for at I-129F's stage. But after approval and your fiancee has ready for the interview of her K-1 visa , there is a chance the US embassy in Jakarta will ask legal papers to show that the biological father of your fiancee has agreed to let him go with his mother. You need to prepare this possibility.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswaiting time for indonesian divorce

thank you for your response. it's been quite a road and we haven't even filed our i129f yet. we are quite worried about her getting approved because she has a son. so she had to ensure that her ex let go of his rights as the father. we want to change her son's name on the birth certificate. i want to adopt him when we come together. she also is from Jakarta. do you have any knowledge as how the USCIS looks at all I've said about her son? and what should we expect.

 

Does your fiancee have joint custody with her former husband? If yes, then she can filed to ask judge granted her sole custody. It is the only way to let her bring the son to the US. Indonesian family laws are quite tricky, sometimes, including adopting children. Better consult to a lawyer who familiar with these matters. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswaiting time for indonesian divorce

My fiance and I are in the process of preparing our i129f package. Our brief history: I am from North Carolina and she is from Indonesia. We were both months separated in our previous marriages when we started talking and building our relationship. I flew out to meet her in April. The best 3 weeks of our lives. We knew that we were to be together. My divorce was final in May while hers has just now become final. Questions we have with our situation: 1. even though our previous marriages were over months before we starting our relationship, will this be a problem with my petition getting approval because we began our relationship before our divorces were final? 2. We have found out that Indonesian Muslim law states that she cannot marry until 90 days after her divorce. She is not Muslim and did not have a Muslim marriage. Does she fall under this law? or If we plan on getting married in North Carolina, does that law affect us? I know that USCIS site states that we must be legally free to marry. Under North Carolina standards or Indonesian standards? I also realize that it will be long past 90 days when our package gets evaluated. We will soon be ready to submit our package but we have these concerns. Any and all input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

  1. It might be come to the questions but as long as both of you free to marry when filed I-129F, it won't be a problem.
  2. No. Indonesian government separate Muslim marriage law with other religions. She should be fine.
  3. No. See my answer number 2.
  4. Legally free to marry is under federal rules since USCIS is federal agency who handled immigration process.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNo Last Name/Surname/Family Name on fiance's passport/birth cert. But he has one. What do we do?

So are you saying to me that the officer who reviews the I129f is not the one that approves the name, it's the officer that will speak to my fiancé when the papers are sent Malaysia and he continues the process there before flying over?

Thank you again.


USCIS only deal with I-129F. So my opinion is that I agreed with you this step only deal with USCIS first. One of my friends here, Bob, dealt with same situation with you. For USCIS stage, he only put FNU as I remember he told me. After approval, he just found out that his fiancee's name on her passport different from her birth certificate. So, he tried to change the name on the birth certificate since it was a mistake. He stick with all information he put on I-129F. Based on that, the US embassy in Jakarta does not make a big deal if a beneficiary does not have surname.
If you want to talk to him, I can give you his profile link.

I haven't gotten my noa2 as of yet but, i have been reading over some of the things that are required on I-134.... if i make a lot more than the 125% do i still need to get my statements from the bank? 

 

No. You only provided I-134 form (signed and dated by petitioner), W-2, and the most recent tax return. My husband also provided me his bank statements, stock and bonds, life insurance policy but they never asked these before my interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhere do they get the address to send the package to the fiance

First of all, congrats for engagement.

 

Regarding your question, just put her old address on your I-129F and when she's finally moved and then when the US embassy contact you as her petitioner just give them her current address. It shouldn't be a problem at all.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew to this process, have some questions.

Hey All,

 

I am new to this process. I am a US citizen from California and today I have started to work on the K-1 visa app for my Fiance who is in Pakistan. I was previously married, got a divorce and now am looking to remarry. So as you all can tell i have some questions.

 

1. It says to mail my package to TX lockbox? What is a lockbox and what is my process center ( i am from California, if that helps any) ?

2. on the example letter of  intent to marry it says to put the address of filing location... what address would that be and whats my filing location if i am mailing it to Texas?

3. The date on the G-325a form doesn't fit. Would numbered months be OK?

4. What kind of "bags" do you guys use for the photo? I was thinking sandwich bags or ziplock??

5. Any anyone happen to know whats the average wait for K-1 visa for someone in Pakistan? i heard 6-9 month?

 

Also, just wanted to say sorry if my questions are silly/common. 

 

This website is VERY VERY helpful, i have gotten a lot of info from here in the past week or so. hope you all have a smooth process!

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

  1. Dallas Lockbox is address where all petitions of K-1 visa (I-129F) are mailed to. If you are in California, your petition will processing at California Service Center (CSC) which is way more faster now than Texas Service Center (TSC) nowadays.
  2. Put address of Dallas Lockbox and attention to USCIS.
  3. You can put additional sheets if it does not fit. Do not forget signed the sheet.
  4. My husband used small plastic bag and put it on those documents with big clips.
  5. I would say beneficiaries from Pakistan have to deal with administrative processing since it seems mandatory for security background checks. No one can tell how long it takes. Could be a few months to years. Just be ready to deal with one of the toughest US embassies.

Good luck and keep us posted.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI have never been in the US before (applying for Visa K1)

Hello there, we are new to this process and we want to apply for the Visa K1. My concern is that I've never been in the US ever before, not even outside of Argentina (my homeland) would it be a red flag when we present the Form I-129F? we've been 4 years together and she came to my country twice already. Thanks in advance.

No, there is no red flags about never being in the US before. You should be just fine. Make sure you read the guide on Visa Journey and ask questions if you do not understand the whole process. People here are will gladly to help your immigration process. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures221 (g) Refusal Letter

Fiancee had interview this morning in Tirana, Albania and was issued a 221 (g) Refusal letter asking for additional information of ongoing relationship.  We submitted greeting card that I mailed to her and she mailed to me, updated letters of intent to marry, Skpye logs, Viber logs and Facebook logs and engagement pictures and other pictures.  We have been communicating back and forth since 11/2013 so just a sampling of different days and different months were submitted for Skype, Viber and Facebook.

 

What else can be submitted other than additional Skype, Viber, and Facebook logs and 2 additional cards that i have received in the mail from her.  Thank you in advance for your assistance.

 

Maybe you can go there and attend perhaps if there is a second interview? Some consulates do have second interview for K-1 visa. My husband came to my K-1 visa interview and the CO stopped asking me questions after I told him that he was with me and waited me at the waiting room.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa on passport expires in less than a month

Thank you for replying! My fiancee should be here aug 16, Wedding will be on sept. Follow up question: for us to not have problems with aos later, does my fiancee need a repeat medical exam upon entry before aug 30? If so, would a general practicioner suffice for this exam?

 

If he did his medical within a year, he does not have to redo whole medical. Looked up to his DS-3025 that he got from his medical exam. If it is all completed vaccination records and boxes are ticked he only needed to send a copy of his DS-3025. But , if it does not completed yet, then he has to complete missing shots and ask civil surgeon that listed on USCIS website in your local area to transcribe his DS-3025 onto I-693. You have to go to civil surgeon to do I-693 that listed on USCIS website. Try to find cheapest ones (some of them will ripped your pocket off), if your fiance's medical is good for a year then insist not to do the whole medical. Just transcribe DS-3025 onto I-693.

 

Out of my curiosity, when he did his medical exam?. The reason why I am asking because the short period of his visa expiration.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa on passport expires in less than a month

My fiancee got his passport delivered aug 8, 2014. Looking at the visa, issue date says aug 6 and expiration date says aug 30,2014. my question is, what does this date mean? Does he need to have the medical again before this date expires? I booked him a flight for aug 16. Do we have to get married before aug 30? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, he was Required to undergo the TB test so could that have affected this short expiration date?

Thank you!



 

For beneficiaries from the Philippines, the expiration date ties to the date of the medical exam. I assumed he did the medical too earlier or he had waited too long scheduled his interview. In some countries like mine, my expiration date was from the date of my visa was issued up to 6 months. You don't have to get married in August 30. But your fiance has to be in the US before August 30. After he entered the US, K-1 visa is void and now his lawful present started ticking from the first day he came and up to 90 days. You both have to get married within 90 days otherwise if married beyond the deadline, you will have to file I-130 along with I-485.

IM GETTING READY TO FILE. BUT COULD THIS BE A PROBLEM WITH CONSULATE.  


No, there is no problem at all unless you filed I-129F less than two years then you need a waiver to overcome it. But seems you don't need one since it was happened many years ago. Make sure you are front-loading petition with many evidence and when apply K-1 visa after approval of I-129F especially I heard US embassy in Santo Domingo is very tough toward K-1 visa applicants.

Hi everyone, new guy lol
My question is in regards to part 1 question 14 have you ever filed for this or any other husband/wife before.

I'm not sure of the answer because my second wife was in the U.S and a green card holder when we met and got married. Because of our marriage she was able to get her citizenship a little earlier.

So would the answer be yes or no and if its yes where would I obtain the information to fill out the rest of 14a-h ? I'm not sure I can get it from her lol
Thank you for your help!!






If she already had been here and a green card holder before you got married, it means you did not file for her. What kind visa she was obtain to get the green card?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat Does this mean?

 

after waking up at 3:30 am my time :ranting:  I FINALLY got my NVC cast number! They told me on the phone that it was sent out to Montreal on August 12th :joy: . When I entered the number they gave me into the tracking system I get this message

   "our case is ready for you to schedule an interview at the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal. If you have already scheduled an interview appointment, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the Consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at:http://travel.state..../info_3731.html"

 

 I'm not sure what this means though, I have not received the packet 3 yet, does that matter? I also haven't paid the 240$ fee. can I still schedule? I thought for some reason they would just give me a date and if it didn't work for me I could just reschedule? was that just totally wrong? or what I'm just really confused O.o. maybe it just doesn't make sense because I only got 4 hours of sleep last night? but if someone could shed some light on the situation that would be great!

 

 

 

I also had this status updated after the US embassy in Jakarta was received my I-129F approval from NVC. I did not received anything after got this status. For the next steps also better to post on Canada regional sub forum to get better responses.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCase Status- What do they mean?

 I live in Dallas texas and it was sent to the lockbox here (so why would they have to transfer it??) OR did they open a new office to help the backlog?. I got the NOA 1 in may. This is what it says for the initial review, but what does this mean?. Does this mean they are going to get started on it?

 

 

On August 11, 2014, we transferred your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), to your local USCIS Office for further processing. The new office has jurisdiction over your case and will send you a decision as soon as processing is complete or you will be notified if further information or action is needed. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address.

 

 

 

It means your case is going to transfer. Wait until you have received a letter via mail to see where your petition will going to. Until now, only CSC and TSC are processing I-129F which probably means yours will going to CSC.

The I-134was signed and dated before my birthday so it shouldn't be a problem?

Or does it have to say I'm 28 since I am 28 when I will have my interview?

No, it should not be a problem. My husband and I had just updated the info and the embassy should've known it better. You and your fiance (e) signed and dated it based on what the date was and how old both of you were at that time. Otherwise, you will be feel like in the Twilight Zone, lol. Just kidding!

Thank you. I was wondering if there were steps I needed to take, file a motion, wait for x before doing y, etc. Seems not though.

 

There was a member here after got refusal of K-1 visa and got married instead. The petition of K-1 visa had returned to USCIS and consider revoked. But oddly enough, USCIS reviewed again the petition.  Unfortunately I could not find the post. You should make a call to USCIS. Got married is one of available options you can have now.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRefused/221 (g) /administrative processing

How can I find out the main reason? Out of the all the questions they asked, the only one my fiancé tripped up on was the last time I came to see him. He said August, and then corrected himself and said it was February/March. Which even I couldn't remember, but she didn't ask me that. The only evidence they looked at were photos. Even thought I told them we had a ton more. Including messages from 2011 when we first started. But they did not want to see them.

 

Oh so they questioned about bona fide relationship from both of you because your fiance could not remember when the last time you visited him. I don't know your situation but I believe something beyond that made the CO thinks your relationship is not real. 


Girl from CelebesFemaleIndonesia2014-08-08 11:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRefused/221 (g) /administrative processing

Gather information why your fiance has been refused for visa. Is it about bona fide relationship from both of you or he had trouble with the US immigration before? After you found out what is the main problem then you can decided what is the best route for your fiance comes to the US. Many people here would suggest get married and filed for a spousal visa. But still not a guarantee an approval. If your problem is much bigger than you can handle, better consult to an experienced immigration lawyer.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow much evidence of relationship do I need?

Hello,
 
I am in the beginning stages of applying for a K1 visa for my fiance. I have plane tickets, passports with stamps in and out of the country, pictures of her and I, but the problem is that we mainly use skype as a way of communication.
 
How can I prove our relationship without any chat, emails, letters, cell phone bills, if we don't use any of it to communicate?
 
Thank you for any help.
 
 








Passport stamps and boarding passes are sufficient. Pictures are only secondary evidence. I communicated with my husband ( then-fiancé) mainly with video calling on Skype and took prints screen while we were talking. I also had Skype unlimited calling subscription, printout the records, and attached to our I-129F package. We were approved in 38 days without an RFE. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhere can I find my National Identification Number?

I live in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and I am starting to fill out the DS-160 form. It's asking for my National Identification Number. I was wondering where can I find that number, or does it not apply to me?


Some countries like mine issued a national identification number for citizens but though I had it and put on my DS-160 form, it turned out after completed it, doesn't apply. You should just left it blank.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresquestion about the A# on the NOA2 mail

I just received a physical K-1 NOA2 mail from USCIS and noticed that there is a 9-digit A# next to my name. I think this A# stands for Alien Registration #. I became a US citizen 8.5 years ago and the officials on the oath ceremony confiscated everyone?s green card. I no longer remember my green card # anymore after 8.5 years. Does anyone know if this A# next to my name is my then green card # (a.k.a then Alien Registration #)?

 

Yes.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A form

I am filing for a K-1 Fiance visa and I need to send in a G-325A form for my fiance. I am wondering about the signature that is required at the bottom of the form. Can I use a photocopy? Or do they want the original copy?
 
Thanks!


To avoid for getting an RFE I would advised to provide the form with an original signature.
