Also are you calling/sending an inquiry directly to USCIS? Any route that you choose, I hope works for you bro. I really hope its not taking a few months more, that just wouldn't be cool. I am sending good vibes your way. Keep checking that mail box. :)

 

Thanks and the same to you, i will prob put a call with uscis aswell but i already know im gonna get the wait 30 days response from them, so Senator is next on the cards.

Sorry to hear. I hope you do hear something sooner than later. Hang in there. Are you gonna contact them or the senator/congressman option?

 

Yeah we are going the senator route which i believe is Pat Toomey for PA.  But even then i still think that we could be looking at a delay of another month maybe more.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting married in the US Virgin Islands

Hi there, this is my first time posting here, just hoping someone can help me out regarding our choice of wedding location and if this will affect Visa.

 

So myself and my Fiance who is a us citizen are engaged to be married.  We have filled out the whole initial application and are about to send it off.  I read in supporting documentation that if you intend to leave the us at any time you need to apply for an amnesty.  Basically we want to get married in the us virgin Islands after i land on the US mainland.

 

Does the US Virgin Islands count as us territory and if we get married here will it affect my return to the mainland with my then wife?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPostcode on I129f and total cost

Thank you very much, completing these forms has been a bit daunting and this site and the people on it have been a great help.  I dont see anything on the postcode on the link however.  If i leave that blank will it be ok?

Hi everyone, so myself and my fiance have finished filling out the forms and are just about ready to send them out however in the address section for fiance it asks for a post code and in ireland they dont have any.  Should this just be left blank?  And can someone please tell me what is the actual cost of the i129f, i want to write out the check but I cant find anywhere that says what the actual amount is.

 

thanks in advance.

Thats great thanks a lot for the info!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting documents collected before interview

 

we prepared the following before we got the NOA2:

 

- Get Birth Certificate petitioner

- Make a few us passport size pictures of petitioner
- Get Police Record of petitioner (depending on the country you need some for the embassy and for the medical)
- Collect evidence of Relationship (Photos,  Plane tickets, Decaration of meeting in person, Loveletters, etc)
- Bank Statements,  Employer Statement, Tax Statement of usc
- Vaccination Record of petitioner ( I had to do the required vaccination before the medical)
- Medical Appointment (I asked if they need my Case number and they said no)

 

Maybe depends on the embassy/country and the length of the process (maybe some documents are not valid forever)

 

Wow thats great so you can basically get everything before hand thats great thanks for that info.  I belive the Irish embassy the police records are fine as long as they are with 12 months from the petition so im going to go get them immediately.  Medical is expensive but I will get that predone aswell.

 

On the subject of police clearance, Although I am now living in Ireland, I was in the UK on and off for 3 years while I attended University.  Does this mean I need a UK police check as well as Irish one?

Hi All, although its still early days for my K1 as i am still awaiting NOA2 i wanted to know if I can get the Medical and police background check pre done now in order to save time later as we are on a bit of a tight deadline.  Anything I can get predone now to save time I would like to do.  In addition to these two things is there anything else we can pre do now to save time later?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Application photo size

Hi everyone,

 

I believe that I may have sent in wrong size passport phtos for K1 application I (the beneficiary) sent 2 passport photos over to my fiance, which were taken at a standard passport photo machine in Ireland, however those photos were deff not 2 x 2 inches.  Will we get an RFE for this?  We got our NOA1 already and nothing has been sent to say otherwise.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWedding in April 1st NOA recieved yesterday

Hi Another member from Ireland here, I was in the exact same position as you, filed everything correctly and booked my wedding for September of this year, parents had booked flights etc.  After coming to this forum and realizing just how long everything could take i made the reluctant decision to move my wedding back to May of next year.

 

Although it was a painful decision at the time and I ended up having to refund my parents it was def that smarter move rather then overruniing my own wedding and losing thousands.  Most venues will let you pick a later date at no additional cost if you do it early.  Having any sort of ceremony that looks like a wedding puts you at great risk of getting denied for K1, my advice, bite the bullet and move it like i did.  Later down the line when everything is finalized youl thank your self for doing it all now while you have the chance.
