K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk1 visa medical
Hi Flower,

You do not need appointment letter for the medical. This is just booked over the phone. What your fiance need to take is his passport, vaccination records, 1 passport type picture (UK size is fine for medical) and the fee of £180.

He will received an appointment letter for the actual interview at the Embassy.

All the best rose.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 filing confusion!!.. help!!
Hi there, welcome to VJ,

It really depends on when you entered the UK but if it was less than 18/20 months ago (you don't say when you entered with the fiancee visa), you're out of luck and will need to file the I-130 in the US.

I believe the Embassy doesn't just look at what type of visa you hold, they look at how long you've been in the UK. My husband entered the UK in March 2003 on a student visa, a year before we were married, so although he has Limited Leave to Remain (until April 2006), they accepted our DCF application, as he had, at the time, been resident in the UK for 2.5 years.

Also, this way he can adjust his status to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and apply for Naturalization before we head to the US, and should we ever want to return to the UK, we won't have to go through all this paperwork again. Just something to think about... We stayed in the UK a year longer than we wanted to, but in the long run we decided it was worth it.

Good luck with your immigration,
Liz

well fiance called up today and the USCIS didnt have anything for us on there records, so we have deceided to refile and shes gonna make sure she gets the email/text updates and sends it via UPS so she knows when they get it, wish us luck and i will keep everyone informed as to how things go


Oh no :( Did your fiance send it via normal postal service? I don't trust the postal service, my fiance never received my valentines card. yeah it's best to send it via UPS or any other courier service and have it tracked. :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A - Province or State?

My guy was born in London and I had the same issue. The other annoying thing is that the hospital he was born in was considered one Borough on his birth certificate but then the boundaries must've changed and his passport has another. For simplicity, I just put London for the city, left the province blank and the put the country as UK. I know some people put England as the state too, but I didn't since it's a country not a state/province. I didn't get any RFEs so I think London, UK is the easiest thing to do.


Thanks for the quick response :) I thought about putting my borough but then i read people were putting their county down. There is alot of conflicting information on what the county of london is...some say it's 'greater london' others say that London is not within a county :wacko:

Hi everyone!

I'm from London, UK and am filling out the G-325A form. In the section that asks to provide 'province state' i am unsure what to put. I've read that people from the other parts of the UK are putting the county, but what are Londoners putting? Do i put greater-london? I'd apprectiate your suggestions :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLondon Specific - What needs to be sent in response to Packet 3?
Hi Nich-Nick,

Just wanted to clarify London does not want passport photographs sent with packet 3 forms. I read on another thread that people were sending in passport photos with the forms....

London gives their instructions on their website here http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html

They don't want documents mailed in. Documents are birth certificate, police certificate, divorce decree, financial records.
They do want the forms as soon as you get them prepared.

In order to be assigned an interview, London needs 3 things in their hands.

  • The four application forms and copies as noted in Step One of their instructions. Mail ASAP.
  • The results from the medical exam sent over from the clinic by courier. arrives 3-4 days after medical exam.
  • The form DS-2001 which says you have all the required documents in your possession and are prepared to interview. A cover letter must be attached to it giving the information they ask for in Step Two. Mail when you have all the documents that are taken to the interview. That means the I-134 that must come from the US fiancé by snail mail is also in the UK fiance's hands, not on the way.
This London K1 help thread might be very useful for where you are now http://www.visajourn...terview-thread/

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List

A different city is OK, the main thing is the COUNTRY. I landed in a city a good 12 hours bus journey from where my fiance lived, and had no problem. :yes:


What about a different state? I'm from London England & my fiance is from North Carina, there are no direct flights from London to north Carolina so my POE was a different state. I threw away most of my boarding passes not realising I may need them on the future, I managed to find my boarding pass from London to Washington (this was my POE & i took a conecting flight to nc) should I still include this as evidence? Also does anyone know if it is possible to get hold of past boarding passes from the airlines?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWaiting for NOA1
Due to the holiday season, perhaps I am being a little over anxious.

However we sent our K1 application at the end of Nov and the check was cashed Dec 2nd. Yet we havent recieved our NOA1 yet.

To make matters worse, my fince used a bank account that does not allow you to see both sides of a cashed check online !!! Never been an issue before but obviously is now LOL

I have been looking at other peoples timelines to see if there has been a general delay in proceedings, but I dont spot any trends.

Any advice from you experienced campaigners ?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat status must the petitioners own immigration status be ?
Hi,

I have searched the site and Google but thought I would ask here for clarification also.

What does the immigration status of the petitioner have to be. My fiance has lived in the US since she was a child, she has a green card and is a permanent resident, but we are unsure if she is eligible to file a K1 petition.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I filed an I-134 with my original I-129(f) application, even though it might not have been necessary to do so. But that was last August. Do you think I should fill out a new one? The only thing that would be different is the date, my income was a little bit less in 2007 (but still well above the red zone), and I have a LOT more money in the bank now. What do you think?



I don't really know but I would ger a new one for the interview ....just to make sure star_smile.gif

Hi all,

First nice to meet you all. star_smile.gif great site

We filed at CSC and they received F129 on 15.10.07.
I know I am still a few months away from the interview at the Embassy in London but I am trying to collect all papers necessary and I am bothered by the "evidence of support" part. I am french citizen, living in London (been there for 14 years). My fiance has a steady job with the County in Las Vegas NV (worked with them for 15 years) and he is earning over the level of poverty. Neither of us have assets or savings, but we know we will be ok. Do you think that a letter from his employer will be sufficient to prove he can support me and my daughter? That and my intention to get a job as soon as it is possible.

Thank you for any advise

I have been working to get my fiance's file transferred to the Dublin Embassy for a while now. NVC just sent the file on 01/18/08 to London. I have attempted to contact the London Embassy as NVC told me to which I was then informed to email.

Has anyone had experience emailing the London Embassy for requests? I submitted the subject with "Urgent" as I was instructed to by the Embassy operator. I got the autoresponse email back that says it was deleted (as apparently this is normal). How will I know if the request has been handled? Will they contact me via email? I gave them all the information I could with his new address in Ireland and the request.

Thanks!

Hi Dawn,
