[quote name='mozplay' post='357807' date='Aug 4 2006, 10:30 PM']I'm Monique - Canadian, fiancee is David (USC) and we should be filing by Monday!!! yay![/quote]
Woohoo - I wish you all the best!

[quote name='Amanda-Lise' post='357857' date='Aug 4 2006, 11:15 PM']and my lease, which he cosigned for me.[/quote]
Wow - that's a good idea!

[quote name='Amanda-Lise' post='357857' date='Aug 4 2006, 11:15 PM']We're hoping to have it together to send out the same day he recieves the documents from me...which were sent on the 1st and just cleared the border yesterday. Beginning to think he would get the docs faster had I opted for a carrier pidgeon.[/quote]
Yeah I know... the first time we were getting ready to file, back in January, he sent me his forms in a box with other stuff. Well, it disappeared for a MONTH. He paid 40-something Euros to be able to track it, and tracking didn't work on it. I guess it must've been customs, or something, I dunno. The box arrived smashed with holes in both sides. At least nothing was lost - other than the stamps he sent me for my stamp collection. You can imagine how much we were freaking out about THAT, with his G-325a and passport photos and letter of intent in there, right? Well, this time, the forms will be sent to me alone in an envelope, and we're paying the 40-something Euro tracking shipping again... hopefully the tracking will WORK this time. He's already got a SS# because he was here for 3 years on a religious worker visa, and we don't want something with his SS# just sitting in the mail. :no:

[quote name='Kirsten L' post='357891' date='Aug 4 2006, 11:59 PM']Well, I JUST sent my packet off on Tuesday. Putting it together was a time-consuming venture, I can tell you. I'm sure you all have the same feeling.[/quote]
It feels like a scavenger hunt, don't it?

[quote name='Kirsten L' post='357891' date='Aug 4 2006, 11:59 PM']My fiancé, Laurent, is also French, Angilla[/quote]
Oooh! Where in France is he? My fiancé is in Rambouillet. It's an ironic mix, isn't it, since French stereotypically hate Americans, and here we have 2 French men in love with American women? :D I wonder if Laurent and Saint-Clair would like to get in touch?

[quote name='Kirsten L' post='357891' date='Aug 4 2006, 11:59 PM']Besides...WHEN, I ask you, has God EVER done anything but work in surprising ways? I know He's taking care of things. I trust him to do that. Why can't they?[/quote]
I know what you mean. Take a look in the story in my profile to see how Saint-Clair and I met, how's THAT for surprising? We take it as God's sense of humor in our lives. :lol:

[quote name='Kirsten L' post='357891' date='Aug 4 2006, 11:59 PM']I pray for myself, for Laurent, for our relationship, and for my parents every day. And I'm seeing results. The thing that God has really shown me in all of this is that I need to follow him and no one else. I stay much calmer and saner emotionally when I do that, as opposed to giving in to the fear and discouragement that my family often slings my way.[/quote]
This is really teaching us both how to pray and trust because it really IS discouraging having nearly everyone around us so negative about what we're doing. We've been thinking and praying on what to do since January, and the K-1 visa along with sharing an apartment once he gets here is what we always come back to. That's what looks to be the most sensible option, and we're at peace with it. This is an extraordinary circumstance... if we lived in the same area and didn't have to go through this visa process, no, we wouldn't get an apartment together. Why the people around us can't get through their heads the idea that we don't really have any other options I don't know. They tell me to move there... but he's in financial hardship and I'm having trouble learning French. You'll learn French there, they tell me. Well, umm, how am I supposed to WORK in France with barely any French knowledge? He can barely support one person, so I'd have to support myself and help support him - with nearly no French? Yeah right. It's hard enough to find a job over there NORMALLY. Well then stay where you are longer, you'll be together eventually, they tell me. But they have NO IDEA what it's like to be in a long-distance relationship like this. None! If they had to be 3,536 miles away from their loved one for 8+ months straight like we have, I think their advice would be a little different.

The fact is that they don't know. They haven't been in our shoes. It's much easier for them to say things like this when they go home to their family each day.

[quote name='Kirsten L' post='357891' date='Aug 4 2006, 11:59 PM']Anyway, I just thought I'd respond to this thread since I saw some common issues with my own. And since my submission is literally just days old, I didn't think anyone would mind...Hope I'm right about that. :)[/quote]
I personally don't have any problems with that... I hope this can be a thread where we all stick together after filing, and go through the process at the same time. My sister had a forum where she met other pregnant women who were as far along as she was - they all had doctors visits at the same time, baby showers at the same time, gave birth around the same time... it was so cool.

Thanks jmagayreh! :D

Right now it's extra tough for me too because my parents (ahem, step-mom) are not fans of China or my current situation at all. And they don't even know we plan to get married yet! I really can't talk to her about any of it. The family situation is stressed right now because of other issues, and I am feeling the brunt of her disdain and down-right hateful scorn because she doesn't like that I went to China, let alone that I now have my "Chinese" "girlfriend." Sooooo, in dealing with not being with Allie, and then having to be in this type of situation everyday, I'm gettting like 4 hours of sleep a night. So stressful. I should move out, but it'd be pretty dificult to find an apartment for just a few months, and then I don't have to worry about change of address forms etc. I don't need to give the CSC any extra reason to delay work on our petition!

I don't think I need to tell anybody here how hard it is being away from your most loved one. But hey, we all know what kind of ending we'll have. I just keep telling myself it will all work out.................. But that advice is still so hard to follow.......

I wish us all luck!


French people stereotypically don't like Americans, and my fiance's run into a lot of problems with that. My mom's been pretty good with our plans, but the rest of both of our families haven't been. Especially since we, and most of our families, are Catholic and the only option SC and I have with this visa process is to share an apartment once he moves here. All our friends and family can't agree with us on the fact that we're two grown adults with self control and our own sets of values and morals that we have decided to follow... and the fact that this is a very unusual circumstance! But, well... *sigh* We've even lost friends because of this, I guess it shows what true friends they were to begin with.

My fiance and I have been apart since December and we don't think we can afford another visit before he moves here since we're both scrambling to save money, so this will be a long haul for us. As we get closer and closer to filing the petition it's getting a little easier for me... but... it's still really hard for him. What keeps me going is the thought of that hug when we re-unite and head off for our new apartment hand in hand, where we'll NEVER have to say "goodbye for who-knows-how-long" again! :D

We're gathering paperwork and whatnot while I look for a new job.

I think it'd be neat if all of us preparing-to-file folks could meet up, maybe we could find friends amongst ourselves to go through the process with, especially from the same service centers. If you're preparing to file, let us know what you have left that you need to do, when you hope to be able to file by, the service center you'll be going through, and the beneficiary's country.

But your fiance NEEDS you to think positive - if you're worried/nervous/anxious, you'll rub those emotions off on your fiance. If you're calm and self-confident, your fiance will be too.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A Typing Question
I did a combination of both. For my fiance's 3 middle names I needed to use an attachment because there was no way of fitting them in that space even by hand. But for the things that wouldn't fit in by print but I could squeeze in legibly by hand... I just printed out the form and wrote them in.

If you use an attachment sheet just make sure you sign and date it. And for the G-325a, make sure you make 4 copies of the attachment - one for each sheet - each signed and dated. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarrying in USA on a B1
Someone else really needs to answer that. I'll try, but I'm not 100% confident in myself here. ;) By getting married and adjusting status, you're immigrating right here and now - you're not leaving, ever. By putting in the paperwork for the K1 you still have to leave at some point - you're applying to be able to immigrate, but you're not immigrating now.

Let someone else take it from here, I need to learn more before I keep going. ;)
RosaMystica7FemaleFrance2007-01-06 16:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarrying in USA on a B1
Ok. :) As far as I understand it, you two can start the fiance visa process while you're in the States - you don't have to leave until your B1 visa expires, or when the time for your medical/interview in your home country rolls around, whichever one comes first. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that.
RosaMystica7FemaleFrance2007-01-06 15:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarrying in USA on a B1
Well here's an important question - when you entered the country on a B1 visa, did you intend to get married and stay here?

If no, you can marry and adjust status without leaving the country.

If yes, you can apply for a fiance(e) or marriage visa but you'll have to leave the country at some point when your B1 visa expires. If you marry and adjust status it'd be visa fraud. How long the process takes depends on what state your boyfriend lives in and what country you are from. You could still try to visit, but you'd have to bring proof of strong ties to your home country - lease/rent, letter from employer stating that you'll return, etc. and you may be able to enter the country... or you may be denied entry, it'd be up to the officer at the border.

So we need some more details before we can know how to advise you. The place to start is that question in my first paragraph. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBank Statements
I would say include them, but not because of the money transfer to buy your tickets... because they show purchases made in his hometown while you were there. That, in my opinion, is the important part - placing you in his hometown. The money transfer to buy the tickets isn't so important because you could've used the money for something else, whereas the e-tickets show you bought the ticket, the boarding passes show you got on the plane, baggage stickers (you know those green and white ones they put on your bags showing your name, destination, airline, date, etc.) show that you checked baggage... you get the point. :)

A piece of advice... in the end, that's all you get here - advice, and other people's experiences. People here tried to talk me out of sending a notarized letter I got from my parents stating that he stayed in their house and they met him and stuff because they thought there was no point in sending it. There was no way I was sending off that petition without it - I wasn't comfortable doing that. Don't do anything you're not comfortable doing. If you're only comfy sending off the I-129F with the bank statements, then I suggest you get the official bank ones. ;) Just get 3 copies: 1 to include in the petition, one to bring to the interview, and 1 for your records in case something happens.

If both you and your fiance can travel to the states, I suggest getting married in the U.S. then applying for AOS for your fiance after marriage.

If you're suggesting that they enter the USA on a visitor visa intending to get married, apply for AOS, and not leave... that's visa fraud. ;) If that's not what you meant, my apologies for the misunderstanding.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPLS THIS IS AN EMERGENCY
A denial at the border wouldn't void the petition, no worries about that. :) And local sources wouldn't be able to help her... the individual border patrol officer at the point of entry is the one who will make the decision. So, unfortunately, there's no way for her to board a plane with a 100% guarantee that she won't be denied entry. All she can do is bring a load of proof that she has ties to her country to prove she has reasons to return, not volunteer any info she isn't asked for, and hope for the best. Coming from Spain she should be ok, that's not a high fraud country, but you never know. :(

Girl, just gather proof of your ties to Spain and get yourself a flight to be with your baby. ;)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPLS THIS IS AN EMERGENCY
You need to calm down. Freaking out is not going to help you or your fiance. Your fiance needs you to be strong and calm for him.

Yes, people here HAVE visited to the US while a K1 is processing... that's how we know what to advise you to do so you can get in, too. Bring proof of strong ties to your country (rent/mortgage, employer letter, etc.) and you have a good chance of getting in. However, there's a chance that you could be denied entry too - there's no way for you to know until you try. That's why I'm suggesting that you have your flight connect in Ireland. There's a US Point of Entry in Ireland. You could find out there whether or not you can get into the country, BEFORE you do the long haul over the Atlantic. So you could spend the last 7 or so hours of your flight with peace of mind knowing you're already admitted into the country.

Ive been in US lots os times and never had a probelm about entering bcos of my citizenship.. Tha only thing is.. because we have our papers in process I dont know if theres any problem about enetering US for visit right now. If my papers will affect or something??'

That's why we're advising you to bring proof of ties to your country. Having a fiance in the US gives them reason to be suspicious that you could be planning on moving here illegaly rather than visiting, so you have to be prepared to show proof that you DO have reasons to return to Spain. ;) And like I said, transfer in Ireland so you feel better, knowing that you'll have your answer as to whether or not you're allowed into the country before you cross the Atlantic. :) Can someone confirm my memory on that, is it Dublin that's the US POE in Ireland?

Make sure you have strong documentation showing your ties to Spain - letter from your employer stating the date you'll return, bank accounts, rent, etc. Don't bring too much stuff with you when you go that could make you look like you're planning on moving. There's a POE in Ireland (Dublin, I think?), I suggest transferring there. At least that way, if you have a problem with a border patrol officer and can't get into the country you have to fly back to Spain from Ireland... not the USA.

How bout "Nightmares" instead of "Dreams"?

I am having the opposite delusion (or at least hope it is just in my head!)
I am thinking every worst case senario possible.


Oh just wait til the interview rolls around! What will they ask? What will they think of his responses? What if he says the wrong thing? What if I forget to mail him something? What if the ORIGINALS that I have to mail across the ocean get lost? What if they don't like my affidavit of support and demand a co-sponsor? What if they determine our relationship as fraudulent because we haven't seen each other in 14 months? Ok ok, our interview should be totally smooth. But... I'm worried anyway. :wacko:

But ya know what? I was that worried, if not more, about the I-129F submission - and that got approved hassle free. This process is just one thing after another to worry about, things that could go wrong, more stress added to our already burdened shoulders... the government is playing with the most fragile part of us here - our soulmates. So you (we) have got to find a way to channel all the energy running through you positively NOW or else it's gonna eat you alive over the next 2 years. Don't focus on the nightmares. Don't even focus on the dreams. Focus on the reality, and put all that energy in you into researching the process and making sure you two are the best prepared you can be so you can just wham your way through this process as quickly as possible!

So yeah, filing thru VSC, I just knew it would be a solid 7 days from when I sent off paperwork until we were approved..... 18 days and counting :(

If I check the site one more time, I think I'm going to get banned. After checking the 10th time on any given day, they should just lock you out until the next business day.

Let's look at it this way. What's a USCIS adjudicating officer gonna do with it? Absolutely nothing - it's not a part of their job. It will either get thrown out or jumbled around with your petition, with the adjudicating officer confused and not knowing what to do with it. Maybe it'd be forwarded onto the consulate/embassy after NOA2... but it'll be outdated, so your fiance will need to bring an updated one to the consulate/embassy, where the old one will be thrown out or obsolete.

My suggestion: just spend your time on the things the USCIS needs now. ;)

:lol: That's funny!

And yeah, Bora Bora, you wanna talk about long, try this:

After I get my citizenship I would like to apply for my brothers green cards how long does the process normally take? I mean on average


Takes about 11-13 yrs as of now.

I don't know much, but from the looks of that thread it takes 11 - 13 years to bring a sibling into the States... they said it's 20+ to bring in a sibling from the Philippines. :dead:
