K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPhone Records and Excel Sorting

Not phone records, but I sent in our whatsapp chats along with skype records.  What I did for the whatsapp records was to include one day each week, alternating through each day of the week.   This cut it down from more than 1500 pages to 90, which I printed out with 2 pages per sheet.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk1 visa one of the requirement is.....

This is what the affidavit of support is used to verify.  You must meet the minimum income requirements, which is 125% above the poverty guidelines set.

If you are working at full time, say 2080 hours a year, that works out to be above the 125% of the poverty line for two people.  Do you have any kids or other dependents ?

I filled most of the boxes out on a separate sheet of paper as well, just make sure that the paper is labeled appropriately and that you do number/title your answers.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDealing with a previous marriage in a high fraud country.

You mentioned sending an additional packet of items to the embassy, I hope this would be with your fiancee and not directly to the embassy.  The information would help him during the interview as they are attempting to prove a legitimate relationship.  I think as long as things are thoroughly laid out and described as you described here (in more detail), you should be fine.  I don't think a previous marriage will have too much of an effect on them believing that this is fraud, especially given the circumstances of it being a traditional arranged marriage.

 

I wish both you and your fiancé good luck!

USCIS is fine with photocopies, once it goes to the embassy though they will need to see the originals for packet 3

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNone vs n/a vs [blank] on I-129F and G-325a redux

Maybe since I am used to it from work, but I used "N/A - None"  and everything went through fine.  I would not leave anything blank since that leaves open the possibility for getting an RFE.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long was your application?

ours was 96 pages in print, although about 30 of those pages were 4 in total, 2 in front / 2 in back.  we received our NOA2 about in about 25 days from NOA1.

 

i don't think the size of the packet counts much towards the processing time, it's probably more of the quality/clarity of your application/evidence.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUgh I made a typo

Well, you have three choices, 1) send an updated one 2) have your fiancee update 3) don't send one at all.

 

With what you have already submitted I think they can understand a small typo.  

 

No need to attack those who have attempted to provide you with some assistance.


ThaneMaleThailand2014-04-06 20:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUgh I made a typo

What did your supporting documentation say ?  Does it reflect the proper amount?  If so, it isn't too much of a worry as you can have your fiance(e) just mention that it was a typo if it doesn't get there in time.


ThaneMaleThailand2014-04-05 20:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUgh I made a typo

Its okay, submit the corrected one.  Our i-129F had a typo, the question about how we met was off by a year.  They seemed to focus on this during the interview, however we were still approved. 


ThaneMaleThailand2014-04-05 20:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRefused a U.S. Visa? (DS-156)

Answer that question truthfully.  It usually doesn't matter (depending on reason of the denial).  My fiancee had her B2 denied in January of this year and we just received the K-1 approval earlier this month.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUrgent: Might have sent a bad cheque with I-129F/K-1 Application. What can we do?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhich form is used by physician for K1 medical?

According to the packet 4 instructions we received, the medical forms are DS-2054, DS-3030, DS-3025 and DS-3026.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOriginal Signatures for Letter of Intent and G-325A

Some had mentioned that they have included a note stating that the beneficiary would sign at the date of the interview.  I am not sure whether or not this is still valid, but check here

 

Also, there is always fedex/dhl/UPS that you can send with.  It's awfully pricey, but if you are that worried about getting it there what is $120.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPacket 3 shrunk?

Did you read through the instructions?  Usually that will contain what is required for your packet and how to schedule the interview.


ThaneMaleThailand2014-04-30 10:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDid you book your fight before attending the interview?

I booked our flight the day of her interview since it was a lot cheaper to pay the $100 fee than to pay for the tickets closer to the intended date of departure.  Since you are in Canada it shouldn't be too much more as you are closer to the US, but I would check with fellow Canadians first to see how long it took them to get their passports back after the interview.


ThaneMaleThailand2014-04-25 15:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen can you fill out the ds-160 form?

We sent our packet 3 (including ds-160) in after the CEAC site was updated to a "READY" status.  I confirmed with the Embassy in Bangkok that this was acceptable and they had confirmed that it was.  This may not be the case with all embassies, however.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk1 poe

I just came back on Wednesday, and it took a total of 20 mins to get through.  We actually waited longer for the bags than for them to process her.  Another woman on a K-1 went in as well and was out in about the same time.

 

They really didn't ask any questions, just made sure that she was aware that she has 90 days to get married and that once she is married she has to adjust status.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarriage while waiting on K-1 Dominican Republic

 

I have nothing against people wanting to practice their religion but I am not particularly religious myself. 

That said, here is some thought on your situation...don't know if it can work for you guys. 

 

1. Do the official religious wedding ceremony so that you two can be fully intimate. 

2. But do not file them into government record in either countries. 

3. Continue the I-129F processing so that you are not resetting the visa clock by almost 1 year. 

4. Once you are joined in US, simply go to the local county office and get married by peace of justice.

 

If you can separate the religious ceremony with the official marriage filing with the court, 

then, you can be both emotionally and religiously proper for having sex, 

but you also keep the current K1 visa processing going. 

 

Best wishes

 

this is not the greatest advice.  there have been many others on here who have been denied for performing a cultural / religious ceremony that was never officially registered with the govt.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresbank letter?

I included just a screenshot from my bank account and 401k and this worked for me, but then again I also make quite a bit more than the poverty line so I am not too sure of whether or not they even bothered.

 

On the AOS, I included the same as well, but this is still in process, and for me optional so I am not sure of whether or not this is sufficient for the i-134/i-864.  I guess this really depends on your financial situation and whether or not you need to utilize your assets to meet their requirements.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlease dont shoot me down :)

Hello once again, I do apologize if this question has been answered, I just could not get a clear explanation on this topic. We are about to submit our K1 application this friday. jan 24th. My last question is about the G-325a.

 

Im a bit confusied about the G-325A because it says G-325A, Biographic Information: To provide biographic information on an alien. "You file this form only as instructed on another Immigration application or petition."

 

what does it mean as instructed on another immigration application or petition? Should we both fill this form (Sponsor and Benefitiary) and include it along with the filing of the K1 visa or should we wait until shes (American Citizen) asked to? 

 

Thats all I need answer for. Once again, apology if this has been answered, i searched all over and couldnt find the detail answer.

 

Thank you all once again.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGoing to visit for a few months before my NOA2

Hello all, just had a quick question.

 

My fiance applied for K1 visa in the  middle of January and she received the NOA1 on February 5. I work as a project manager in Canada, I just started a new assignment which allows me to work remotely for 2-3 months. I plan on going to the states and spending those 2 months with my fiance.  I will have my rental lease, bank statement, my work letter, car lease etc. with me when I travel by air in March.

 

My question is, should I wait until we get the NOA2 before visiting her in the states, or whatever time I visit doesn't matter as long as I have no intention to marry until the K1 is approved. If I visit in march, I can stay for 2-3months while waiting for NOA2, then return to Canada after 2-3 months once we have the NOA2.

 

NB: Who receives the NOA2 in the email/mail? Canadian or US petitioner? 

 

Thank you.

I had my brother drop me at Buffalo airport and I was sitting on the passenger side of the car. We got to peace bridge in Niagara Boarder and crossed with no problem.

 

Officer:  Where are you heading?

Me: Off to vegas

Officer: How long?

Me: 2 months

Officer: Why so long of a visit?

Me: I got extended vacation from work

Officer: Open the trunk for me please

Brother: Pressed the trunk button (officer went and checked the trunk and closed the trunk)

Officer: Well have a nice vacation. and then gave us back our passports.
