K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about Proof
We sent in pics from each trip and wrote the date and where it was taken think we had about 10
Copies of all pages from out passports, and did not hi lite the entries which is a good idea
Copies of the e-tickets, dont have the boarding cards I always seem to loose them
I did not send in any e-mail copies or evidence of drawing out money in the States
Hopefully we wont get a RFE on any of it, but we did get out NOA1 in under a week
Good luck with yours and welcome to VJ, there are so many great people here who are willing to help and it is great being able to talk to people in the same boat

laughing.gif I was happily married at the time and Russell and I were just great friends. He was friendly with my ex too. unsure.gif Still so tragic having him leave the US back then too though. He'll tell you he waited 10 years for me... knew we should be together. Guess I shoulda listened. whistling.gif Took me several years to get my divorce even though i'm still friendly with my ex. That's why we've sorta been in limbo. I feel blessed we actually got to live together and that I was able to have my kids live abroad for a while but it's been SO expensive for us and this past year has been tragic being apart. That which does not kill us..... wacko.gif

I'm very much into music as well. I sing and my ex plays several instruments and has been in a band as long as i've known him (20+ years) ... as does my son and my 16 y/o daughter travels New England to see her favorite bands. I'm into mostly hard rock but I can appreciate all kinds of music (ok, cept Country and that gangsta rap ####### laughing.gif) This is my cousin... Mistress Carrie from WAAF in Boston. Perhaps it's genetic? laughing.gif

I see you're a bit of a rock chick - good for you. Me and 'er indoors met through rock 'n' roll (AC/DC forum). I lived in London for 12 years, and always used to go to The Standard in Walthamstow - you been there? Fantastic place for tribute bands, but sadly, due to close sometime next year.

Why is it never the ###### chav joints like Yates Wine Bar that close, ffs!!?? mad.gif

Hi Damien
Dont sweat it you could never put me off, we are already at the Ozzie and Sharon stage lol

yes I am a rocker I promote rock bands just came off tour with Ministry which was amazing

I met my boy on myspace was sending a message to one of my bands Prong, and saw his picture on a comment he left and the rest is history, it is so great the wedding is all sorted we are getting married at the Ministry compound in El Paso Al Jougensen is gonna get ordained to perform the ceremony, Chuck Billy is gonna give me away and Tommy Victor from Prong/Ministry will be best man as it is all down to him that we met, and lots of other band people I know will fly in for it

Of course I have been to the Standard it is about 10-15 mins in the car from my house,

Small world eh

The best bar in London to go to is the Crobar ever been there............

Its great to have some other rockers on board

My friend Emma is going through the Visa process as well she is getting married to Tom from SOiL

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresknowing your fiance!!!
I truely beleive that having not spent as much time physically with your finace does not make such a big difference, except in the missing them stakes.
When all you have is the phone and the internet you spend so much time talking that I feel you you get to know that person better than if you are together all of the time. All the time you have is one on one with no distractions.

Of course it would be better to be together but I feel that I know my fiance so well that it is more other people who are concerned about the lack of physical time spent together. I have no doubts and the times we are together are so special....

Cant wait 4 weeks today we are meeting in Cancun for a holiday.........bring it on

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespassport pic
I was told that I had to tie my hair back so that my ears showed
The size is very important and there is a list of requirements but if you go to a company that says that they are for american passport then they will make sure it is ok. They took my pic and then it goes through a computer programme to make sure it meets everything required
You can also send in an appropriate pic to Snappy snaps online and they will alter it to the right size and send it back to you.
I know I was worried when I looked into it I did not want a RFE for something wrong with a pic
also they said not to show my teeth, dont ask why I dont know

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresnewbie presenting myself
I am adopted and I submitted a copy of my adoption certificate, it is a legal document, it was sufficient to obtain a passport and I am sure that it will be recognised by the USCIS, I am not overly concerned about it. I did actually go through the process of obtaining my actual birth certificate some years ago and my name is different on that, so that would have only caused problems due to a different name on it, and I feel that as I never have or never will use it that I will just forget about it and use my adoption certificate.
I have done some reading up on this and it does say to submit either a birth or adoption certificate, this is all the information that I have if I do get an RFE I will let you know but I doubt it.

Good Luck

I am going to be totally honest with any questions asked and I will take a letter from my employer saying that I am on leave and the date that the expect me back, and I will have a return flight. However when they ask me first of all who I am seeing I am gonna say I have come to see my boy for the holidays which is not stating that he is my fiance but it is not denying it either, if they ask for more then I will tell them he is my fiance I will not lie, but as I arrive Christmas eve hopefully they will be rushing us all through so that they can get home, and be full of the Christmas spirit, if I do get turned back then I hope Santa wont go visit that immigration persons home ha ha I was going to take my full luggage allowance of 2 cases so I can start leaving stuff there, but have decided against that as they might be more worried about me staying and not returning to the uk, so I will just have to ship more stuff over when the big day comes

If I do get turned back I will have to accept it as it is a risk we have taken although we have done nothing wrong.

I have also looked into if being refused entry has any effect on your K1 and as far as I can tell it does not just as Eric and Teresa have said

Thanks so much!
I booked my ticket!
I was also told that if they do deny you you just withdraw your request and that way it shouldn't affect the visa.
And I hope Santa fully skips their house if they don't let you in too! Or maybe even lets the reindeer poop in their chimney!!!
I will let you know what happens to me and hope that it will help you.
I was told that once your application/petition has been approved, they will be aware of it so be prepared for Fiance questions.
Thanks so much, I feel alot better about it now.
XOXO


Good luck to you, you go for it!!!!!!!!!!

Well lets hope that I get my NOA2 by Christmas

If packet 3 comes I will get everything ready and just send it as soon as I get back, wont risk it before I go for my Christmas trip

Worrying about it is not going to change a thing, and I know a couple of people who are also waiting for their NOA2 who are travelling while in the process

If this is for the petion, all that we sent in for this is a photo of every time we visited eachother, copies of our passports and we hi lited the stamps that were applicable to our visits and copies of our e-tickets for the flights. From what I can gather most of the additional eviidence is for the next stage. This is what we did but we are still waiting for our NOA2.

I pay £0.02 a minute which I thought was good. It just seemed fair that we split the costs as he has to pay to receive calls, which we dont over here in the uk

thaks for the advise

Well if he has a landline he doesn't have to pay to receive calls. And as for a cell phone, he only uses up minutes to receive calls.



Unfortunately he does not have a land line, and we do talk for quite some time which uses up his minutes very quickly and the free minutes are only during certain hours on his plan.

Better get him to look into it

I wish that I had enough money to change the way we speak, I use a number that I obtained from the internet I call that and then I dial the number in the states. It gets billed back to my home phone but the connection number shows not the number in the states which proves nothing. I hope that if I show the authorities this together with the 20 or so e-mails per day and so far my 5 trips to the states and my fiances visit here and a holiday together in Cancun last month that this will be sufficient.

That is all I have to give them and I hope it is enough, I am saving for the wedding and for moving to the States so I really cant afford to add the extra expense of calls that can be logged. I hope that they can appreciate this, in this day and age.

So it recent talks with my SO about the best way for her to transfer her money to the states I thought about paypal. She said for 30 euro her bank will wire her money into my account. But I think she might be able to do that for free using paypal. has anyone done that?



I use paypal all the time but that is for ebay ha ha yes I am an addict

However if you are trasferring it over to the states and exchanging it into $'s, then I would check the rate that they give you, as it might not be that great, and if you are doing a lump sum it might be worth checking out if the rate means it would be better to pay a fee and get a higher rate

I have not done this yet, will look into that once my visa is in hand, and hopefully someone who has done this will be able to shed more light

I am very sorry but why does she want you to come as you have already said that she has left you for someone else?

Why would you want to go then? If it such an amazing love story and you are both in love then ask yourself why is she not with you anymore if she loves you is it not worth waiting for and you even have your visa

If it is true love then why are you considering marrying someone else?

You will see that VJ members are always concerned about how the other members are getting on, you will see by evey time someone has accomplished another step, the congratulations that they receive from people that have never even spoken to them before.

You should take a very long look at your situation before doing anything else, I love my finance and so if this process takes 5 years then so be it, I have found the one for me and he can not be replaced nor would I want to

I would suggest that you advise the authorities that you will not be using the K1, it sounds like you are intent on going to the states by any means possible.

Just have a thought for all of the members here who are in truely in love and desperate to be with their partner, the more people who are found using the K1 to get into the states fraudlently make it harder for all of us.

I would think long and hard before taking the next step.

I am just going to tell the immigration if asked, that I am visiting my boy so not lieing, I am not saying friend but also not telling them fiance, but if they ask I will be totally honest with them

I will have my return ticket, a letter from my employer confirming my employment and date that they expect me back, I will also take copies of all forms that I have submitted in the K1 process, a copy of my noa 1 and if received my NOA2

It is a risk but I think one worth taking so I can spend the holidays with my fiance, you are never guaranteed entry on visa waiver

I want to be with this girl and I know I'm a bit young but I would love to be with this girl forever. Now I heard that you need to have income tax and properties to get married and I don't have any of those yet cause I'm still young and about to start college. Is there any possible way around this? I really hope there is cause I want to be with her so bad. If you need anymore information to help me work this out that isn't too private feel free to ask.


I met my fiance on myspace so I know how you feel, however I think that before you concider getting married to this girl that you should actually meet in person and see how you feel then. Also one of the requirments when applying for a visa is to have met in person, why dont you get her to apply for a visitory visa and she can come and visit for 6 months and take it from there

Good luck

I would get another lawyer.......if he is not doing what you are paying him for, it is not that hard to do it yourself if you do your homework, read the guides and get help from the other VJ members, most of us seem to be doing it without the help of a lawyer as long as it is a straightforward case

It's not a problem what if you could not get a direct flight to California your POE would be where you land to catch your connecting flight not your ultimate destination

Relax about it and just look forward to your wedding

That is not a problem as far as I am aware, all that matters is that you get married within the 90 day time limit

I am thinking of going to Texas Via New York as they sometimes stamp you for work approval there


Good luck with the Wedding Anna

If he's working he could get a letter from his employer saying he'll be back such and such a date.

well we are in the process at the moment awaiting out NOA2, I have booked a flight to Texas over the Christmas holidays and that might meen delaying my packet 3

I am nervous as well but I will have my return ticket and a letter from my employer stating my return to work date and that I am on holiday

I will be totally honest with all imigration questions that may be raised, and if asked will tell them that I am in the process of obtaining a K1

I have seen lots of VJ members travel whilst in the process so it is a risk I am willing to take, nothing in life is guaranteed and I dont want to be away from my finance over Christmas and New Year

Lets just hope that imigration in the US is in the Christmas spirit and does not give us a hard time


I am hoping the exact same thing, christmas spirit all the way! But as you said, there is no guarantee. It must be so hard being denied, but he will get a letter from his employer I hope!!

Do you know of anyone on VJ who has had the misfortune of being denied?



Just out of curiousity...having ur person here over xmas or thanksgiving-xmas in my case would delay ur I-129F? or deny it? i'm confused and worried now


Dont worry about it sorry if I was not clear, no it is me that will delay the process, if I am lucky enought to receive my packet 3 before I am due to go I will not send it in till I get back, as if I send it in and get my interview date before I leave for the Christmas holidays, I would have to go at Christmas using the K1 which I dont want to do as I wont be ready to leave then.

Going to the states while in the process will not delay or deny anything

So sorry to make you worry

No sorry I dont know anyone that got denied while waiting, but it will have no effect on the process
I know someone who got denied before they filed for their K1 with the big entry denied put in the passport and they have just got their NOA2, so even if I get denied it wont have any effect on the application, if it did then I would not be taking the chance. I am also going to take a copy of my last pay slip as well. I dont know your situation but just take a copy of everyting that shows you have a tie to the country, motguage....lease.....

I have a good feeling about it, I am going to save my panicing for the line to immigration ha ha

It's done now flights are booked so no point in us worrying about it till we have to

We will have a great Christmas with the ones we love

I am going to tell the immigration that I am visiting my boy for the holidays, if they ask me to elaborate then of course I will tell them my fiance I will not say that I am here to see family or friends I will be honest.



Your "boy" is not your friend? whistling.gif


yes he is, he is actually besides the love of my life (yes pass the bucket ha ha) but my best friend

I just thought if I said boy instead of fiance it is not exactly lieing and as I get there Christmas Eve they might just might be in the Christmas spirit and not give me a hard time.

I am nervous about it already but worrying is not gonna change a thing

I will take evidence of my ties to the UK and will produce them if asked I will not volunteer this unless requested.

I do realise that even if I was not going through the K1 process I could still get tured away on the waiver programme

I have seen lots of members are going to visit their loved ones for the holidays and I am going to be one of them

I am off to the states for Christmas

I am taking a letter from my emplyer and a copy of my return ticket, I live in my family home so dont have a lease or mortguage but if I had I would take that.

I will not volunteer to immigration that I am in the process of obtaing a K1 visa but if asked I will be honest

Lots of people travel while in this process, there is a small risk of not being allowed entry but a risk worth taking, as long as you have spent more time in your home country than the states the risk is quite small


Have fun on your trip

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresg325 a and employment history
QUOTE (realc4ever @ Oct 3 2008, 02:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
i am a us citizen petitioning for 129f.

on the g325A, what happens if i can't get the dates exact on employment history
as well as remember each job i worked ?

at one point in the past, i went through a period of working short term jobs and i can't remember the order and/or the dates as well as each job.

could "ballpark" information be frowned upon ?

also, including an additional sheet for employment history...... can i just use regular typing paper ?



I had a panic about that as well, so I wrote off to the tax office to give me the exact dates, they sent me pages of tax stuff that I cant really make head nor tail of, as all they could say was the companies that I was employed in, in that tax year. So if I cant get the exact months then I dont know if they will be able to check or weather they are that interested.
But as long as Pushbrk says it can be ballpark then I am not worried anymore. That will teach me for slightly altering dates on my CV, and not holding onto the original.

I have the same problem with all my visits to the us I can remember the dates that I went to LA when I was 16, I am not 44 and no idea if I had a visa or not, called my passport office about that and they dont have the records either

FYI I put my pics in a small zip lock bag and attached with a paper clip not had an RFE on that yet

Copies of our passports and hi lited all the stamps that were relevant to our visits
Copies of out e flight tickets, we did not send in any copies of boarding cards

We are waiting for out NOA2 since June but we have not had an RFE
Good luck with your journey
