K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved?

I'm going to send my original BC, along with a copy, I have three. dancin5hr.gif


Thanks for the info, ill send boarding passes, pics and hotel receipts...

 

Thanks

 

 

Don't forget to include ITR,  W2, 1040, PAYSTUB / BANK STATEMNET and I-134 AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT - must be original signed from the petitioner. If you are divorced then include a copy of it.


 

 

Tax transrcipts are better than tax returns - order them here:

Depends on the consultate how many years you need.  For instance, the Uk only needs the most recent year.  2012 should be ready, as long as you filed on time!

 

Thank you, I got them already...

 

I'm so thankful I found this site, its been such a help during this process :)

I don't think you should send your ORIGINAL birth cert in the mail

 

Mail get lost sometimes. Safer not to do that unless you are meeting in person

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiancé for their interview at the embassy.

 

What exactly do they want? I guess all I can send is original boarding passes and hotel receipts? I already sent them the original photos? I can send them my passport, so...any help as to what they are going to look or ask for?

 

Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A
Hi...We have had our I-129F sent back due to mistake/missing "Classification sought" Someone pointed out to me that at the bottom of the G-325A you must check off what you are applying for....We put OTHER- K1 Visa. Should we have put OTHER I-129F? Could this be the mistake that sent our petition back 2X in 2 wks? We figured K1 is the classification because I-129F is a petition....Any ideas out there?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEmbassy VS Consulate

P.S. When you get your NOA1 (I-797c) acknowledgement of receipt of your petition by USCIS, update your timeline to either the WAC (California Service Center or EAC (Vermont Service Center). The prefix in your receipt number will indicate with one. You sent your petition to the Lewisville, TX lockbox location, not the Texas Service Center (it does not process I-129F petitions). Putting in the correct service center will enable you to get a VJ estimated timeline for your NOA2.

Happy trails. :thumbs:

Huh?!!!! I have address as PO box 660151, Dallas Texas. 75266 Please confirm

That's right.
I came from Hamilton yesterday, stayed the night in a hotel and rocked the interview this morning.
I'm at the train station in Montreal right now waiting to head home.

Congratulations!! When did you start this process?!! I have seen you posted on some of my other issues...Thank you! I am trying to get an idea of how long it takes for Canadians...I wish you all the best!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEmbassy VS Consulate

Come on, keep it in perspective. It is (hopefully) only one trip for a successful interview.

BTW, my then-fiancee and son had to travel over 1,900 km for their successful K-1/K-2 visa interview. Heck, I even made the over 10,000 km trek to join them and support them at the same Guangzhou consulate interview.

The time apart and the distance apart only make the end results of this entire immigration journey all the more sweeter.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Lets hope the "year of the Snake" bring good things for all of us.

Not Ottawa, Montreal.
And yes, K1's are only dealt with at the Vancouver or Montreal locations. As far as I know the Embassy in Toronto doesn't handle any immigration stuff at all.

OMG! You mean people have to travel that far to visit the embassy?

K-1 Visas are only processed through Vancouver or Montreal. We put Toronto as our consulate of choice but were forwarded to Montreal anyway.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSwitching K1 to CR1
Hi! Well all us people having our petitions at California Service Centre might wonder if we should change...I have a hard time deciding from the stats if it pays...granted depends on how much time you are into it. My personal issue is I have an elderly dad(90) in a facility in Canada and I am worried the longer it goes on...the longer it will take me to get Advanced Parole to travel if I need to go to Canada. I am an only child and things are fine now but it is a worry. CR1 comes with Advanced Parole and ability to work etc. And for heavens sake looks like it is cheaper...What do you think? btw i realise it is starting over..but given the timelines..is it that much worse or better?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWarrants?

In applying for a US Visa we should be aware of the limitations.  Clearly they have problems with criminal issues.  Not showing up for a scheduled court appearance seems to me to be a negation of your legal responsibilty.  OK maybe I am old fashioned but ....one must deal with the ramifications of their actions.   Its not like she said she didn't do anything. 

 

Why try to make a hard route harder?  Or impossible? 

 

I have heard over and over about VJers and the things that happened many moons ago.. All comes to haunt us.  It's sad really.  I wish you guys the best and that that the time and also (being a minor) will play in your favour.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT

My dear to me this would be a "Red Flag"  Some of us have money some don't.  some of our families do...some don't.  I believe that coming together in marriage is a sharing of everything.  If you don't trust "out of the gate" what is happening in the background?  Why does that person want you but not appreciate you.  I have to expand on this saying if you are older you may have older children already who may feel entitiled.,  But again that is up to the parents,.  I don't think you can go into a marriage with a disclaimer.  I personally made provisions for my children (im 58) and my husband has for his kids (57) but we will build a life together.  But you could win the lottery!  There are always things that can happen,  I think you are younger than I so I say...be careful.  Marriage is suppose to be an equality, a meeting of the minds and hearts.  Guess I am old school.  Not like we have millions to break up as we were "movie stars".  And clearly most of them have no "pre nup"

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdenial vs approval

 

If she is legally in Canada working at the time of the interview, she can interview in Vancouver.  But if she has to go back because her work visa expires, she would interview in her home country (or wherever she is living at the time, legally.) 

Thanks for the feed back.  Her Work visa is good until May 2015 so plenty of time. Thanks again

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdenial vs approval

 

The consulate you put will not matter, they will pick the one it can go to anyhow, which for you guys will be Vancouver.  It's correct to put the right one, but not even close to being denial worthy!

 

Question? If you don't mind?  Why not get married first?  Or is that a plan B? (or C?) LOL

Married visa takes longer but that is definitely another plan.  Does anyone have any ideas about my partner working abroad in Canada on a work visa, I read that the consulate evaluates and allows her to use Vancouver on a case by case basis, do you think they will make her go to her home country for the interview or is this a silly question?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdenial vs approval

 I hope not to offend anyone, but I am in a same sex relationship so this is one of the first visa applications that they will have received since DOMA was overturned June 26.  The only thing that I now know that I did wrong was that I put Calgary, AB as my consulate for my fiancee.  I didn't realize that it was either Vancouver or Montreal.  Hope that doesn't matter.  I guess I am just impatient.  I have no criminal background, neither of us have ever been married,  I have a very good job, and we have been in a verifiable relationship for over 2 years.

If my fiance (Benneficiary)  wants to change jobs while we are waiting for NAO2 do we need to update the biographical data or would it be better to stay put and continue waiting for this process to finish.  Lord knows that they are slow enough with processing papers so I would hate to cause a delay that could be avoided.

Received NAO2 8/22/2013.  NAO1 was July 12.  should be received at NVC anytime and on its way to her consulate.  My gf is filipino working abroad in Canada so hoping she still gets to use Vancouver Consulate, from what I have researched should be good.  We are in the process of waiting for her NBI but have all other documents in order so as soon as Vancouver receives  and sends out "packet 3" we will be faxing it back immediately and then scheduling interview/medical shortly there after.  Fingers crossed that these next steps move just as fast as the NAO2 did!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresinterview question re: fiance's child

Scheduling the interview appointment tonight YAY!!!

 

I have a question regarding the process at the time of interview for my fiance who has a child living back home in the Philippines.  We planned on him coming at a later date so we listed him on the application as we should.  My question is this:  Do we need his passport now if he is not going to be coming to the US within the next year or so?  We have his birth certificate.  I am just concerned because his name is listed on the bottom of packet 4 and I am afraid of delays if they want his passport.  He is 6 years old and does have a passport, however it is with his grandmother who is taking care of him at the moment.  Is it ok to tell the interviewer that we didn't intend on bringing him to the US yet?  

 

 

sorry, one more question...Do I need to pay for his visa to schedule the interview appointment as well?

 

Anyone with similar experience I would appreciate your feed back.  thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureschildren of fiance

My fiancee (beneficiary) had 2 children, one is alive and the other is deceased.  We are filing for the k2 visa along with her k1 for the surviving child.  Do we need to bring the death certificate of the first child if he is not listed in the original petition?  Just curious since on the surviving childs birth certificate it states that he is child number 2 and at the time the birth certificate was created there were 2 alive children.  Do you think this matters?  Interview is in 4 weeks and we want to make sure so we can retrieve the death certificate (from her home country) in time.

I had asked this question a few weeks ago but no one answered it.  Now that our interview is only 3 weeks away I want to ask again just to be sure.  My employment letter is from late August.  I thought the NVC process would be really 3 weeks as per the letter but little did I know.  Anyways, should I ask for a new letter from my employer to have it more recent or will the old letter with current pay stubs be sufficient.  I will also be providing copies of my last couple tax returns.

 

Thanks ahead of time for any feedback

Question, if my fiances' child is to follow later under k2, do we need to fill out the DS-160 for the child as well and have the confirmation sheet at my fiances interview even though we plan on him arriving in the summer under the k2?  I know we will need it later for sure but interview is in 2 weeks and as I am going over docs I re-read where it says per applicant ugh.  Problem is is that I am not sure if I will be able to get a photo to submit with that app in time.  My fiance works abroad and the child is in the Philippines.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThings to include in RFE for evidence of meeting
We are awaiting our RFE which i suspect will be for more evidence of meeting because I didn't include boarding passes etc in original application. If it is that I could only find 2 flight iternarys and confirmations and only 1 boarding pass which shows me leaving the states to come back to London in march. I'm also going to include my passport stamps again. Was wondering if I should include flight iternarys and boardings passes from my fiancées trip to London to see me, which I paid for, in June which is AFTER our file date? I'm also bringing her over again to see me in October so will have iternary and confirmation for that also which I could also send in. I know they say to send in proof of meeting within 2 years of application but because I didn't keep all that's stuff and only have a few bits will sending ones made after applaication help in anyway?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan NOA2 be granted at a INFO PASS?

They might be able to help at the Infopass appointment by giving you information on your case and letting you know if the hard copy RFE was mailed out to you yet or not, but you have to wait for that letter and mail back your documentation with the RFE notice that is required to send back with your evidence response. That will go back to the service center processing your case, and your approval or denial will come from there, not the local USCIS office you will have your Infopass appointment at.
 
 
~ Duplicate topic removed ~



If they are just got going to say the same "we will resend RFE again" rubbish like they said before then there is no point in the meeting at all as they said that 2 times before and not bothered sending it out and have wasted a month of our time with there incompetence. I'm going to have my fiancée phone me when in the meeting and im going speak to the officer as enough is enough and I'm not waiting another month because they can't figure out how to put a letter in a post box!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan NOA2 be granted at a INFO PASS?

Help me here..  You don't what the RFE is for ?  Do you have an Attorney ?  They get the information first and only notify the Petitioner when "They get around to it".  How can you be prepared to answer a question without a question.  thats what a RFE is.


We was issued a RFE (which we only found out by calling the USCIS) but never got the hard copy In post so called again and they said they will resend and again we have not received it. We did receive a letter stating we called them and what was said so they have our address correct just not sending the RFE. We don't have a attorney as our friend is an attorney and they are giving free advice but not handling out case. I went over all the stuff we sent in with application and we did not send in flights itinerarys, confirmations or boarding passes so guess that's what they need and my fiancée is unsure if she sent in correct part of her divorce degree hence why we suspect its one of those 2 problems.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan NOA2 be granted at a INFO PASS?

No.  But your reply will be processed faster.  They don't have the authority. time and means to do this immediately.  DO MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT and clear-up the matter what-ever it is.  It's paperwork.  They will note you were there and record the statement/paperwork of the RFE.  It's worth going.


Thank you for reply :)

We suspect strongly that RFE is for either more proof of meeting which I already have in place to send over to my fiancée or something to do with her divorce papers. Well it help if she takes all the evidence with her as they can look at it and say if its acceptable or not? Can they print of the RFE there or tell us what it's for?

I totally agree with you. For being so familiar to RFEs, I too think there's no RFE.
BTW I only got things done when I called late at night and had a supervisor on the phone.
 



But both times we have called and spoke to a tier 2 officer they have said a RFE has been issued.
