K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 vs. I-864 Affidavit of Support

Has the I-134 been replaced by the I-864 already.  I noticed the I-134 expired on 31 Dec 2013 but it is still available on the USCIS website.  Reason why Im asking is because my fiancee has her k1 interview next month and when I visited last month I left her the I-134 to take to the interview.  But now that it is expired Im wondering if I should fill out a new I-1864 or if the I-134 is still valid.  Does anyone know?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to write Alien Fiance Mailing Address in 129F

Use the address as below, don't worry about the "fraccionamiento" part, that usually is used to locate the neighborhood she lives in.  However, if you want to use the whole address, I suggest you leave that blank and and write with pen after you print because it will not let you type the whole thing because not enough characters are provided.

"In care of" is only used if mailing it to someone else's address

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOnce K1 visa is given

Personally, I would wait and purchase the ticket until the visa has been approved.

As to where to fly, I would chose the cheapest route, so that would depend on the itinerary.   I would not go through another country unless it was necessary

Having money to pay for the application fees is not what is going determine whether it gets approved or not.  Your boyfriend has to make enough money to support you, being a student has nothing to do with anything.

You are obviously stressing out more than you need to, it has been stated numerous times that it isn't a big deal,  these forms can be typed or done with pen or both, have your fiance white it out and write the correct age with pen, save yourself the DHL costs.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk1-visa/ birth certs- dominican republic

 

Granted, even more if you are a certified translator.. but, competent translator also means having the legal capacity or legally qualified  to translate certain documents and personally, and not only because I am fluent in english, for this K1 process I rather have a legal translator to translate any document the US Consulate requires, I've used the services of this place I know,  good reputation, and they even allowed me to review my documents before finalizing the translation, specially with medical terms.

 

Wrong, you don't have to be legally qualified. 

I translated my own and never had an issue.  All I did was state that I was fluent in both languages.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhere to get married

 

If you get married in Mexico before he enters the US then he can't enter the US on K1 visa. 
 

 

Actually, they can.  I went to Mexico and had big wedding before my fiancee came here on a K-1.  We had out Catholic wedding there and our civil wedding here.

Just keep in the same envelope in came in to keep from getting damaged more than it is already, shouldn't be an issue as long as it doesn't look like it was opened and resealed.

Jose&EliMaleMexico2014-09-12 09:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes the intent to marry have to be original signature?

From USCIS' I-129F instructions:
 
b. Sumbit evidence that you and your fiance(e) intend to marry within 90 daysof your fiance(e)'s entry as a K-1.
     Evidence of your intention to marry may include a statement on intent to marry.
 
It does not state that it has to be original. You can send the copy that you have, however it is not guaranteed that they will accept it and you risk the chance of receiving an RFE

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

Well, I am not here to encourage you to go ahead and have a ceremony prior to having the visa in hand, but that is what me and my wife did. 

We had a big catholic wedding in Mexico prior to entering the US, once we entered the US without any issues whatsoever we had our civil wedding.  In Many countries getting married in the church does not mean you are legally married, you still have to have a civil wedding to make it legal.  Because she was coming here with a fiancee visa obviously that was not an option, but we still had our wedding with all of our family and friends.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Visa Whats Next?????

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to the main "AOS from Family-Based visas" forum -- OP is beyond the K-1 phase. ***

 

(Moderator hat off)

Hint for all:  The time spent waiting during the petition process is ideal for becoming an informed student of the rest of the process, so that you can hit the ground running at each step.

 

I guess it depends on who you deal with at the SS office, my wife got hers and all they asked for was passport, I-94, and marriage certificate.


Jose&EliMaleMexico2014-10-05 00:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Visa Whats Next?????

You can get a SSN before or after you get married.  If before, you will have to make another trip to the SS Office to get a new one in her married name if she is planning on changing it

Have with you a copy of your I-94 since K-1 visa on your passport is expired when you enter the US.  Keep in mind that, although most people have returned succesfully, AP is supposed to be used in case of needing to travel on an emergency, there have been some that were given a hard time when returning using AP

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMexican Document Translations

You do not need to translate anything unless it is in a different language other than English or Spanish for the K-1 visa process

Once you move to the US, for the AOS process, any documents that are in Spanish will need tro be translated to English, i.e Birth Certificate.

We applied for Military Expedite because my fiance is currently deployed in Iraq...we called them first but they never got back to us...so we decided to send a fax anyways including: Cover Letter, A letter explaining the situation, a letter from his commander stating he is deployed in Iraq, copy of his military I.D.


Just curious, but if he is in Iraq, and you are going to the States, how on earth do you get married in the 90 days theK1 allows?

As he commander stated on the letter we faxed to CSC he will redeloyed in Jan 2009...finally!
