K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Anything I can do?	Yeah, New Zealand is not cheap or quick to travel to/from. I can relate. It wont hurt to at least try to expedite your case with uscis. USCIS Expedite Criteria Remember, they are going to care more about you and your own health/circumstances than your family members.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-10-14 15:37:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Address field on I-129F; format question	QUOTE (minibadger @ Aug 19 2008, 11:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (fwaguy) You can answer more than one "question" on the supplement page. You just indicate on the supplement something like Part 1, Question 5. Part I, Question 14., etc..... That's what I'll do, though I won't be putting SEE SUPPLEMENT anywhere on the form. I'll note that the supplement is included in my table of contents, however. I understand the concerns about a post-it but may do it anyway, if it falls off, I still have the supplement referenced in the table of contents and will label the sections properly. You need to note that the proper answer/format to any particular question is on the supplemental sheet and the place to do that is on the form itself. They're not just going to go through your paperwork looking for the right answer. This is all clearly stated in the GUIDES.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-08-19 11:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Address field on I-129F; format question	If you note the attachment on the form itself, as noted above, and then list the question # and answer in it's proper format there will be a lot less confusion. Many people have 'different' addresses and this is what they do. I would have a lot more fear of putting a post it note, that could easily be misplaced with all the hands on your documents, getting lost. good luck whatever you choose.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Form G325A, Q: Employment last five years	no you dont need to prove anything. just write down where you worked and when. dont overthink things or you're going to get yourself in trouble. There are example forms (link above) to help you be certain. you can state you can have the contract but if you're not there when you file you need to put that as well. Are you the beneficiary? Leaving your job to go overseas to await the process? You will need to show domicile and financial security in some fashion. Do you have a co-sponsor lined up and an address in the States in which you can receive your mail?	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-08-19 08:18:00

I'm sure someone with more experience dealing with that Embassy will chime in. You could always pick up a p/t job to be certain you won't need one. Keep in mind you'll have adjustment to think of as well.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-08-20 17:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Multiple questions regarding K-1 Visas	QUOTE (Misstisme @ Aug 20 2008, 03:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello Everybody, First Thank you for all the responses you give in this forum. I'm looking for all the informations I can get about the visa K1. But I read an information really important for me. I can go to the USA with a visa tourist and get married overthere (my boyfriend lives overthere), if i don't stay to live that's it?? Because with my boyfriend we would like to get marry in february for the St Valentin's Day , but I will move in August. Because I read on the French websites, it's illegal to do this, but they don't talk about stay or not after the wedding. I asked to embassy, but i received an automatic email, told me they can't respond. Because i don't want to go overthere and the customs tell me, go back right now... Thanks a lot You can come into the Country with the intention of marriage ... (although I would not disclose this at the POE or you're probably going to have issues ) but you can't not stay more than your visa allows. Well, I should add that you can stay, but you will face scrutiny at the adjustment period that could get you into big trouble and possibly face a ban for misrepresentation at POE. A spousal visa is likely to take a bit more time but if you're in no rush I guess it wont matter. Not sure if you get married in February that your visa will be ready for August though. There is a link at the top of the boards called FAQ's.. read through the different options for you. good luck	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-08-20 17:52:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Multiple questions regarding K-1 Visas	Yeah she can. I had the same question / confusion when I started posting here until I met a NZ'er who actually did just that. Came in on the VWP and told them at POE.... 'hey i'm here to get married... but i'll be leaving again to go home and wait out our spousal visa'. They let her through and she's even been back for visits since. That being said, I don't think I would mention marriage to the POE officer. I think it's common sense that would throw up some serious red flags in trying not to prove intent and I assume many others wouldn't get as lucky. What is illegal is to adjust status after entering with the intent of immigrating on a visa that doesn't allow for that option. In re-reading your question ... I would have to assume that if you mention an impending marriage at an Embassy interview for a visa you can pretty much kiss your chances for the 'other kind' of visa goodbye.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Multiple questions regarding K-1 Visas	QUOTE For example, she can't come to the country on a tourist visa with the INTENT of getting married. Of course, I'm sure many people do but it's illegal. Just to clarify, she can come into the Country with the intent of marrying... what she can not do is come into the Country with the intent of marrying then staying. The marriage is not the problem... staying is the problem.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-08-19 14:11:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Passport pages?	QUOTE (Angela & Paul @ Aug 20 2008, 09:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am confused... We are getting the documents ready for Angela's K-1 interview (in Rio) and nowhere does it say that the US citizen has to provide copies of his/her entire passport. They only ask for the foreign fiance(e) information. If this is for proof of relationship, copies of the pages with the stamps should be enough, along with the original boarding passes for the flights. It is also my understanding that they actually don't ask for proof of relationship at the interview. This is what the I-129F was for. If your I-129F was approved, then they have enough proof. Of course, it doesn't hurt to bring a few more photos, letters, boarding passes, etc... I think you have been misinformed. when in doubt why not just take the time to make copies of all pages?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Need Advice Prior to K-1 Filing	I'm not sure what you're asking. Since you already have the intent to marry/immigrate he should not come in on a visitor's visa and marry. If you do this, you will most likely face added scrutiny at the adjustment stage and if it is proven he had intent to immigrate when he entered the US he will face a ban. Not really worth the risk and nobody should be suggesting this to you. Your fastest route is probably going to be K1 which you can only file after your divorce is final (ie; after the waiting period if applicable). The timelines change all the time. Our petition was just approved in 4 months (120 days exactly) but in January/February Vermont was taking under a month. California used to take a long time but have now caught up with Vermont for the most part. So, you can't really know until you're there. btw... I had to wait years for my divorce to be final so we could file the petition too. It's been hell but there is light at the end of the tunnel now and it's all been worth it! I hope you find your new journey goes a lot quicker!	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-08-18 13:05:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	assembling the documents	I did fasten most to the documents themselves but the 'sticky part' was very minimal. I bought them (tabs) in a bag at staples. For the copy packet I just sent to Russell I just used post it notes to separate everything as I'd like to keep it all for a scrapbook later. As pushbrk stated, you can simply clasp it all together and send it off. I just really liked the organization of it and thought an adjuticator would appreciate that too. good luck	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-08-23 18:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	assembling the documents	it doesn't really matter. You can use a rubber band to hold it all together if you want. They will put into a standard container once there anyway. As long as they can sort through your info easily. You can use a folder or binder if you want. My fastners were part of a folder. I separted ours based on info... forms, documents such as birth certificate..etc... then pictures, passport stamps...followed by supporting itinerary..boarding passes...etc...etc. Here's a photo Ours was 60+ pages long (10 years) so that's why so many tabs.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	whats the fastest way for K1 visa?	QUOTE and since i'll also have to file for a K-2 visa for her daughter, when should i do that? and how do i know when to file and when she can get her visa (i know it takes 6 - 12 months after her mother(my fiance) travels)? You can file now. It sounds like you've had a lot of misinformation. You simply list your fiances' daughter on the I-129f and anywhere else it asks. She will not need to wait to travel with her mother into the US. You just need to be certain she has the proper consent from the other parent. Her visa is usually issued when your fiances' is so they travel together. If a child chooses to come along later I believe they have 12 months to do so. Do yourself a favor and read the guides, the faq's, the wiki and anything else linked to a tab above. You will come out an expert!	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-08-24 09:18:00
