K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1/I-129F Military question
I just read that you will only be in Korea for another 4 months. Maybe you should work with your parents' address then, so all the mail can be sent to them and they can forward it to you. That would work too as previous posters have mentioned before. :)

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1/I-129F Military question
For questions 14 (Where she will be staying after arriving in the US) I would put your units address in Alaska. You already have orders, right? Just put down the address that's on the orders and attach a copy of it. Also include a copy of your current orders to South Korea.

For your address put your APO/FPO address. I did my Lifting of Conditions while we were stationed in Germany and all the mail was sent to our APO address there.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List
+ Always send in the LONG version of the birth certificate (USC) - not the short one. If you only happen to have the short one, include copies of ALL pages of the passport of the US citizen.

+ Always send in your vaccination supplement and medical copies (if obtained) with your AOS. Some countries (like Germany) don't give you any copies of that, so be sure to get them again from a civil surgeon in the USA. It might cost a few dollars.

Also, I would like to add that even though we had two RFEs (one for the K-1 and the other one for AOS), we never complained because RFEs are not a big issue at all. It took only about 14 months from when we first started this entire process by sending in the K-1 application to the issue of my Greencard..... and all that with two RFEs.

It wouldn't hurt if you'll get them notarized just to be on the safe side. although it is not necessary.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionCover letter

A cover letter also act as your checklist to make sure that you've sent all the documents that you have and not leave anything behind. Goodluck :)

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionROC- not living together

My husband and I were away for a year because he had orders (military). If you guys have documents showing both your names such as bank accounts, bills, last will, filing of tax, your vacation logs, anything that you could think of that can show that your relationship is genuine. You can also explain your situation in your cover letter. Best of luck :)

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHow does walk-in bio work?

I just  tried a walk in last week since I was off. The office wasn't that busy. The security told me to get approval from the officer first then I explained to the officer why do I need to do an early bio and he approved me. I was done in less than 15 mins.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHow long to get 10 year green card

Looking at the records from Aug filers, looks like around 6 weeks from your biometrics appointment and you can get approved if you have a solid strong case. this is just my estimate :)

congratulations!!! wait for another mail from NVC which will contain your case #. a week after you receive that letter, e-mail the US embassy and inquire for your packet #3.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 visa questions
my fiance was married twice too but he only submitted his last divorce decree (the most recent one) and so far was not asked for the previous divorce decree. However, to avoid getting RFEs, make sure that you send them the certified copy. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk1 visa for g325a for fiancee

Does my fiancee have to sign form G-325a now? I read so many different answers. Some say she can sign at embassy and dont need to sign it now when I send in the I-129 form. Is this accurate? If she dont sign now, will I get any RFE?

Yes, she needs to sign it before you send the I-129 packet. You dont want to get an rfe bcoz it will only add some more months in your waiting time. Also, dont forget to make an exact copy of all the docs that you submitted.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresquestion about the interview

I'm only 3 months into the process and haven't gotten my NOA2 yet but I suppose it can't hurt to start getting ready for the interview.

I'm a US citizen trying to bring my Japanese fiance over. Her English is limited (we communicate 99% by Japanese), so is that going to be a problem at the interview? Also, I've read some about the interview and it seems like every couple I've read about in Japan goes to the interview together. Is this a requirement? It would be difficult for me to attend an interview in Japan because of my job.

Thanks for all the great information on this site. :)

Looks like you have a month or two left to get the noa2. If you'll be with your fiancee during the interview, she might've a shot to pass it since the co will see tht you two can communicate, otherwise he will have a doubt bcoz the co wouldnt know that you can speak her language as well. I'll say call the us embassy in japan and inquire if they can provide a translator since the co usually does the interview in english. Tell your fiancee to start learning more since she'll be going to US anyway and she'll be needing it. Goodluck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance name change help

Hi All.. I did some searching but could not find the answer on the forum and timeline guides.

My Fiance arrived as K1 Fiance Visa.
After arrival nov 21st..we got married on Dec 13th
Today Dec 19th we went to the SSA office with our marriage certificate and requested a SSN and for them to make it in her new last name (she is taking my last name).
However the SSA admin told us we should NOT do that because there would be no SSN record because her I94 is in her maiden name. I went along with her suggestion and am now unsure how to make sure I get her green card in her married name. I don't know how to make sure her green card will be in her new married last name when filling out the i485.

TLDR: How do i get my fiance now wife a green card in her new last name..ssn is in her maiden name.

Sometimes it depends on the ssa rep that will assist you however here's what ive done, i filed for AOS under my married name and ssn under my maiden name. Once i get my gc, im going to update my ssn, drivers lic and passport to my married name.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Issuance

Hi guys,

I am here again with a question... does anyone knows in the countries that they dont issue the visa for the same day how long does the visa issued in the passport takes to leave the embassy? because from that with the new system you can track it by DHL.

Thank you!

My k-1 visa was issued from kuwait and it took 3 days, but it depends on how busy is the assigned US embassy coz like in kuwait, i think theres only few applicants. Goodluck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBith Certificate

Ok Maybe a dumb Question, but it says that I need a copy of my birth certificate FRONT AND BACK showing i was born in USA. But there's nothing on the back of Birth Certificate and when I make a copy of front it shows up on copy of being VOID, like its incriptid in there or something.

Any feed back would help.. Thanks

How bout scanning it and then printing a copy. Thats what i did and you dont need to make a copy of the back part since theres nothing in it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresphoto album

hi Everyone. this is my first time to post a topic here.

I'm just wondering if I can bring a photo album in the interview and not only pictures of me and my fiance?
thank you very much.:)

I agree with the above answers, i only took 10 pictures of us together and they kept 2 of them. Bring only the evidences thats significant to your relationship. Goodluck!
