K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	clothing on passport photo	hi everyone.. Just want to ask you guys if clothing on passport photo to be sent along with letter of intent, g-325a form, matters? Is it necessary to wear a collared blouse? Any help.. Thank you.. Yes, a shirt/blouse with sleeves and collar will do. Also, no earrings (or any other jewelry) and no hair accessories.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NBI clearance problem	another question, so even if i dont have my nbi clearance yet,i will still have my interview and they will still decide if im approved or not? Yes. I don't know the "exact" words that you will hear, but if you show up on your interview WITHOUT the NBI clearance, you can expect a 221g from the consul. You will need to send in your NBI via 2GO and wait for your passport with visa to be delivered/picked-up. You can email or call the Embassy in between for follow-up.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NBI clearance problem	When my Fiancee renewed her NBI in Las Pinas she picked it up the next day. I am amazed how it varies at the different NBI offices in the Philippines. I'm from Las Pinas too. If a person doesn't have a "hit" (same name with another person/s) they will receive their clearance on the same day. If there's a "hit", like in my case, clearance will be released after 10 working days.	apple21	Female	Philippines	2012-12-04 22:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NBI clearance problem	Do you have a "hit"? Try to go and claim your clearance before your interview date. When I renewed my NBI clearance last June they told me to come back after 10 working days because I have a "hit". I tried to claim it a day ahead (because I happen to pass-by the NBI office), luckily it was already available for release. You might want to try it too, but if no luck, you can go ahead with your scheduled interview. Expect a 221g though.	apple21	Female	Philippines	2012-12-04 05:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Stephen vs Steve- "other names used"?	So as to not add a not a new post, I'll ask my question here. For other name, If my legal name is Stephen but I mainly go by Steve would I add this here? Or is it for cases where one might use a middle name or another name, and not just a shortened version of our legal name? As far as I can understand, "Other names used" refer to all the names you have used in your legal documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport, naturalization certificate etc..) and identification cards (driver's license, state ID etc..). Nicknames are not included. Edited by apple21, 07 December 2012 - 02:49 AM.	apple21	Female	Philippines	2012-12-07 02:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	USC fiance lost his job	Hello! I was searching for similar situations, but didn't find any. My fiance has lost his job right after i've received K-1 visa. of course, we are both upset and have postponed my coming to States. so the question is : what should we do? may this thing happened to us hurt my coming there? fiance keeps telling me i can be denied at POE because of his unemploymence. is it true? or he has to have job and incomes only for applying AOS for me? i want to calm down him and myself, but can't find any information about that. You can come to US. You will not be denied entry at your POE because your fiancee is jobless at the moment. But he will have to find a new job SOON... for your everyday living expenses, your upcoming wedding and AOS.	apple21	Female	Philippines	2012-12-13 03:29:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Children to join	9 & 6 ... assuming were married (but the kids aren't mine) she has to be the one to file? I guess there's nothing technically wrong doing adoption. Just sounds strange to me. Joint adoption, adopting her own kids. Mmm just more complicated than I thought. You don't have to adopt them. They become your stepchildren. You have 2 options: 1.) You can file i-130 for them. 2.) Fiancee waits after 3 years, then file i-130 for them. The faster route is if she becomes a US citizen too. She will qualify after 3 YEARS of being married to you, just in time for her desired timeframe. After she gets her Naturalization certificate, she can file i-130 for the kids. Either way, it'll take less than a year for them to immigrate since they will be under the IR category (Unmarried child below 21 of a US citizen). http://www.uscis.gov...000082ca60aRCRD Edited by apple21, 06 January 2013 - 02:03 AM.	apple21	Female	Philippines	2013-01-06 01:53:00

You might want to consider using that as evidence. Just my opinion.	apple21	Female	Philippines	2013-01-11 01:37:00
