K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA few questions...
QUOTE (spicer650 @ Feb 20 2008, 02:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Okay first off, I'd just like to say thanks, we used the site and our application was approved and now her package is there we just have to schedule the appointment which brings me to my first question, it doesn't say when we have to respond to the package by, we were talking about doing a wedding if not the only wedding over in Belgium where my fiancee currently is residing, my folks and myself are all going over towards the end of March and I heard that after its all in and you are issued the visa that you have 6 months to enter the country, is this also true? I couldn't find it on the guides :/
When I went to my K1 interview, the consul told me that I had 6 months to enter to US. And when the visa is stamped on the passport the expiration date is until 6 months.


My next question which doesn't really pertain to the 129F was if we get married there, we were hoping to stay there until the end of summer which would be when I need to be back for work, can we only stay out of the country for 3 months? We thought about getting my citzenship there too just to have it, but I've heard mixed comments about getting dual citizenship. I was born in the states and always lived here, would I be able to keep my US citizenship and obtain belgian?
My husband was born in US too, he got his dual citizenship from Mexico last year (he's 28 yrs old), and we didn't have any problem related with that.


Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo I still have to apply for a Waiver even if my fiance hasn't ever been to America?
QUOTE (Amber824 @ Feb 20 2008, 06:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
A friend of mine has an open appointment in CDJ and she is wanting to go to CDJ at the end of March...her fiance has never crossed the border or been to America, ever.

She doesnt know anything about the INFOPASS appointment and how to apply for the waiver...since he has never been to america illegally, do they still have to do the Waiver?


The waiver is only for the people who has been in US ilegally or if the person is inadmisible for some situation... So if his fiance never has been in US she don't have to fill out anything related with a waiver...
And the INFOPASS is a date that you make with an USCIS local office if you have any problem with your case.

You can call to USCIS and ask for a "address change" or correction. They can do it when you call. My boyfriend called one time for correct one letter of the name street!!!

Sorry to bother, but I just went over the I-129F that my love sent out last Saturday, and noticed that he had the wrong zip code under his information. We haven't heard anything from California yet, and we are wondering what number we should call, and how to deal with it.

If you have your track package number (from USPS or any other company which one you sent you package) you can check where and when it was delivered. Too, with this number you can call to USCIS and they can check if already have the package...

Hi everyone,

Does the NVC send Notices to the Petitioner with the NOA2 they received from the INS? How do we know they already received it? Or will they just forwarded the papers to the US Embasssy to the country where the Beneficiary lives after they give us the case number without informing us from the NVC? I wanted to make sure the INS forwarded our papers and that the NVC received it too.

How long will it take till I get the packet?

Thanks for you help smile.gif


If you wanna know if your petition is in NVC you must call them. When the NVC send the packet to beneficiary's embassy the NVC send a letter where they said when the case was sent and the letter shows the new case number which starts with 3 letters from the embassy name.
Good luck.

I think that you can put like you say. Or you can put a note where you say that you don't remenber the exact date. Or omit that because it'll affect the I-134 only if the date will be recent due to the person sponsored will count in your dependants (If it will be recent).

Hello folks!!

I got another question. This one is about the co-sponsor.
We need a co-sponsor and my fiance´s father is going to do it for us. He earns over the 125% but he has some special discount things (income/taxwise) for being a minister. Do you think that this could be a problem? should we have another co-sponsor?


I don't think that it'll be a problem. Because there are two different things, if he earns 125% he meets the poverty line that imigration says and it's the important thing for them, I think. If the discount didn't affect the total income (net income) that he shows on his income tax, I think there isn't any problem.
Good luck.

My interview is getting close & my fiance has already sent to me the documents I will need for my interview. However, he did not include a letter specifying that he is working for a company. He is an independent contractor & self-employed. Is it really required to have the letter with me during the interview?I already have with me his notarized I-134, 2007 ITR, 1099 for 2007 and W2s for year 2006 & 2005. I asked him for this letter but he told me it is not necessary. What should I do?I need your advice... helpsmilie.gif unsure.gif


He can do a letter of self-employment where he says what amount he's planing to get in the next year (2008) and for how long he has been working like self employer. But sincerely, I think that it'd not be a problem because he isn't using a co-sponsor and he is showing his present (2007) income tax. Which means that he, like principal sponsor, is being responsible of you at the USCIS eyes -talking about economy proof-. The worse thing that would happen is that they ask you for submit that information after the interview. Any way, if you want to be sure having that letter, your fiance can make one and send you a copy (by e-mail) but the best thing is that the letter will be original, no copy... You decide
Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAddress/Registry
QUOTE (maxsalvo @ Mar 7 2008, 06:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello,
My girl lives in a house (China) that she is purchasing through a school employee program where she works. She has lived there for 9 years with her parents. Her parents own their own house but they rent it out to others for extra money and they live with her.

She tells me that her family registry lists her parents address as her address because she has never been married.

Question #1 What address do we use when filing the G325a and I-129f
I think she would put the address where she is really living now.

Question #2 The post office where she lives does not deliver mail to her house. It is either stolen or not delivered. Everything I send her will only arrive when I send it to the school where she works. Will this cause a problem when she receives mailings during the K-1 process? I think DHL will deliver to her home. Will all mailing be done through DHL? Any suggestions or thoughts.
I think that she can go to her post office and make an correspondence re-direction, so, she can tell to the post office that all the correspondence for her living address will be send to her work address. I don't know if her post office on her country does that but she can try.

Thanks,
Max

Ok, so I understand the basics of why you need to get a medical exam at the embassy as part of the visa approval. What I don't understand is why the Beneficiary needs to sometimes undergo such tests as ECG, breast exam, ect.....Very strange. What is the reason behind such tests, since I thought the exam was to check for infectious diseases that could be transmitted to others, such as TB, ect... blink.gif


I thought that the best thing of the medical exam is that the person would "be sure" if she/he doesn't have any disease. Because, I talk for me, we don't care our health making such exams as a routine for know/prevent illnes.

I moved while I was waiting for the packet 3, I didn't inform to USCIS about the address change. I thought that it would delay something, now I don't know if it would really happen. Anyway I moved to another town but I told to my families about they inform me if something from my consulate arrives to my old address. I think that you can call to USCIS and you can make the address change on the phone and there isn't "delays". After that USCIS send you a notification about address changed.

No, the only requirement for k1 visa is that you must get married in 90 days of your entry to US, and you do it. You can file AOS when you want. If you want to start to work you need to file AOS for get the employment authorization, at least for me, it is the most important thing for now.

QUOTE (jook @ Mar 15 2008, 05:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Sorry to be so needy!

Would someone mind checking over my intended email to my fiance instructing her what info she needs to provide me with for the filing of the I-129F? Did I miss anything? [She is divorced and has a 7 year-old child that I will be petitioning to come to the US.] In regards to her divorce document, does she need to send me the original document? You can send a copy and keep the original for the interview[/color

And the G-325a needs to be mailed to me with her signature, right? [color="#FF0000"]Yes. She needs to sign 4 copies

Also, I've been trying without much success to find what acceptable proof of ID is for her. [she is a Colombian citizen.] Does she need a passport? If she has one, you can send a copy of it. When I filed the i129F I sent a copy of my oficial identification in Mexico only. The passport is indispensable for the interview only.

Lastly, my divorce will be final on April 4 barring any catastrophic event. Should I have her date any documents after this date? I think the best choice is to wait until you get your divorce degree for file the I129F because USCIS can ask for it. Or well if you have a preliminar result or some letter that you're divorcing I think it would help, but its better that you call to USCIS for info if you don't want to wait

So, the way this works is that I submit all this info with the I-129F? Yes

I asked elsewhere and was told the best way to send and receive documents between the US & Colombia is DHL. Can someone confirm this?

Many thanks and apologies for being so dense.

The G28 is the form that a lawyer send to USCIS when the person who was petitioned already is in USA. If you file your best friend's forms you can help him file the forms but you don't sign it and it appears like they do it by themselves, or if you put your personal information as a preparer you can put NONE in g28 number.
When I arrived to USA I asked to my lawyer about G28 and he didn't do anything about this form; I went to my local USCIS office and the lady told me that it form is to be file for lawyers...

The procedures in Mexico to ge married with a foreign person, it's that the US citizen must show a marriage permit from US then, the couple go to the civil registration and they get married after they go to some talks about the marriage... Then, with the Mexican marriage certificate, the US citizen can petition her/his spouse and there would be any problem in US.

k1 visa: yes, the foreign person must get a permit form USCIS for travel outside USA. This permit only allow stay out USA for 1 year. And this permit is for 1 entry too US. In the future when she/he gets her/he green card she/he can travel outside but she/he cannot stay out for more than 6 months... Please someone correct me if i'm wrong.

QUOTE (NikiJ @ Mar 25 2008, 09:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Since we are planning to return to Mexico after getting married under the K1 visa, will we still be required to supply the affidavit of support? If so, when?

I'm slightly confused on this because from what I've read on the boards, the affidavit of support is requested prior to K1 approval, at the interview. However, the USCIS website states it is not requested until filing for change of status after the marriage takes place:

http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD
"When do I file a Form I-864 if my fiancé(e), spouse, or child is a “K” nonimmigrant?
If your relative is either a “K-1” fiancé(e), a “K-3” spouse, or a “K-2” or “K-4” child of fiancé(e) or spouse, you do not need to submit a Form I-864 at the time you file your Form I-129F petition. Instead, you should submit a Form I-864 at the time that your fiancé(e), spouse, or child adjusts status to permanent resident after coming to the United States."

Can anyone clear this up for me?

Thank you! luv.gif

If your fiance/ee comes to USA with a K1 visa she/he cannot return to Mexico at least until she/he gets her/his green card. It'll take 6-18 months. For while she/he will apply for a travel permit but some people said that it's not good advice get out from USA because when she/he can return the people in the border would not accept the permit as a valid document to entry USA.
And yes, you need an affidavit of support for the interview and the last 3 income tax years, if you won't meet the poverty guidelines 125% you can use a co-sponsor. Also, when your fiance comes to USA you need another affidavit of support for the adjustment of status.
in my opinion, If you didn't send any fiance's visa petition yet, you can think better about the best choice for her/he comes to USA because you aren't planning to live in USA permanently and the k1 visa is for she/he will come to USA to get married an relocate to live here. Maybe another good choice will be K3 visa for a spouse, so you can get married in Mexico and apply for her visa as spouse. The basic difference between K1 and K3 is that with the K3 visa she/he can get out of the USA when she/he wants while she/he will be waiting for green card. The K1 visa is for 1 entry to USA... Good luck.

I do not have suffient income from the last 3 yrs to do this on my own havin went through a divorce a little of 2 yrs ago i am just gettin on my feet these last 6 months...I am well over the 125% poverity leval as of now but was told that I need at the min. 2 yrs of consistant work history to sponsor on my own..hence gettting my mom and dad to help me out with this...

After reading through some of the affadavit support forms i came upon this statement below.


"IF you do not provide sufficient support to the person who becomes a permanent resident based on form I-864 that you sighed, that person may sue you for support.

If a federal, state or local agency, or private agency provides any covered means-tested public benefit to the person that becomes a permanent resident based on form I-864 that you signed, that agency may ask you to reimburse them for the amount of benefit you provided. If you do not make the reimbursement, the agency may sue you for the amount they believe you owe.

If you are sued, the court enters a judgement against you, the person or agency that sued you may use any leagally premitted procedures for enforcing or collecting the judgement. You may also be required to pay the cost of collection, including attorney fees."



...what my question is how liable will my parents be for helping out and signing these forms? or will the main burden be on me?

Also what happens say for instance there is an accident and me or my soon to be husband gets hurt or gravly ill what benefits are you entittled to apply for without penalty?

Or you are let go from a job for no reason of your own doing...can he collect unemployment benefits without penalty?

And what would be concidered sufficient support?

i know this is a bit long winded but I know as my parents are wealthy they will take issue with some of the wording in the I-864 form and will not like the fact that they may or could be held liable for 5 yrs?

And are there any other options available for me as a means of sponsoring my fiance without the help of a joint sponsor as I am well above the 125% just not for the allowable time?

Also and lastly i read that you have to have 3 yrs income tax forms... well 3 yrs back would put me with my x husband would they still want those and if so would they be admissable?

Thanks confused and a bit worried about this affadavit

If you're in K1 process you don't need the I864, this is only when you/your fiance will be adjusting status in US. The correct affidavit is I134. If the petitioner (US citizen) doesn't meet the poverty guidelines 125% in the last year of the income tax. You can use a co-sponsor who meet the poverty guidelines. If you meet the poverty level in your last year of income tax (2007 or 2006) you can only send it. The other last two are optional but instead of these you can attach a letter where you explain why you don't have the income from other years. Also you can attach evidence to support that statement (like school records). Hope this help you.

Hello!

We have received RFE yesterday for K1.
They request to once again send them photocopy of my fiancee divorce certificate.
So, does anyone know if there is any special way to put Cover Letter in my response to them?

Thanks,

To my fellow vj'ers,i plan to get my police clearance after the approval of our petition..I worked overseas before and im using my married name working abroad.My previous marriage has been terminated.Im kinda confused what surname im going to use my single name or my previous married name to get police clearance.

Thanks a lot..

I think that you can get the documents with the name that you were using when you were working abroad. Anyway your embassy can check if the documents are for the same person acording previous names used. Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 form questions
QUOTE (Yomtl @ Apr 3 2008, 03:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi!

I have a couple of questions regarding the I-134 form:

1 - The example of I-134 provided on this site gives the name of the foreign fiance as the answer to question 10 ("I have submitted a visa petition to USCIS on behalf of the following person. If none, state none"). My understanding of that question was that they are asking about any previous petition (not included the current petition). How do you guys understand it?
If you were sponsor for another visa petition before (in previous years).

2 - I find question 11 tricky ("I intend / do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person named in item 3"). What do they mean by "specific contribution? I would be tempted to answer "Room and board & other necessities as per husband/wife relationship". What do you think?
According with the example you don't need to tick any choice, only you need to put a note N/A ( K1 visa process for permanent residence ) Have you see the I134 examples form?

3 - Question 7 ("I am employed as or engaged in the business of (Type of business)...."). My girlfriend is working in a hospital as a sonographer. Should she put "Sonographer" or "Hospital" (since the type of business is more the hospital that the job title itself)? I think that Hospital's Sonographer would be Ok.

Thank you in advance!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGrad Student letter from employer?

Hi all,

Just a quick question. We're still waiting on NOA2, but I'm starting to think about the Affidavit of support already. Here's my question: I'm a Ph.D. student and, as such, am not "employed fulll-time" per se. I do meet the poverty level guidelines with my stipend and teaching income, but am unsure about what the letter from my "employer" should look like. Perhaps a letter from the university saying I'm a student and one from financial aid saying what kind of stipend/teaching fellowship I'm on? Does anyone else have any experience with this?

Thanks all.

If you meet the poverty guidelines in your last income tax year I think that you can get a employment letter from the university where you work. I don't think that the fact that you don't be "employed fulll-time" matter if you meet the poverty guidelines with that job. The employment letter must have the title and address of the business, your job title, how much do you'll earn per year. It must be signed for your employer. And if you want you can notarize it too.
As a suggestion, if you think that there would be a little problem to show your income, it's better if you get a co-sponsor. Anyway, who'll decide about it it's imigration and they would tell you about something extra that you'll need to show for the interview.
Good luck
