K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFresh documents?
That is exactly the kind of official document I was looking for. Audy_Rob, the OP was asking about South Korea before...can you verify that she does not need to worry about that as well? I think that is what I understood from the South Korea page, but I'm more of a beginner in terms of immigration data.
To the OP, good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFresh documents?
Um I can't speak for the K-1 visa, but Packet 3 that Ciudad Juarez sends out for immigrant visas says the following:
http://ciudadjuarez...._3_complete.pdf
that police certificates are not available from various countries including Mexico, so you should not get them. I would guess that if you have committed any sort of crime you would still have to bring the record, though. Missing_my_Amor is doing a K-1 through CJ so I would think her word would be correct. (sending good wishes your way M_m_A!!) I definitely know they are not needed for immigrant visas as the Packet says so. However, keka, I believe you were the user talking about a police record from some other country, so I would think if you were there for a fairly long time that that might be more of a concern. Anyhow, it would probably be helpful for you to do some internet research on police certificates and k-1s.

Here's what the State Department says: http://travel.state....4.html#Applying
Good luck!

I recommend www.immigrate2us.net and www.smf.juarez-mexico.com for waiver information. They actually have tons of threads with hardship letters and how to prepare the waiver packet, and details of the process and so on. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould we get married or Fiancee?
I suggest you read our DCF thread: http://www.visajourn...117-dcf-mexico/
It seems to be taking about 3-4 months, I guess I'll know for sure when we get our interview date.


What you might want to consider is how you would work out sponsorship with the I-864. If your boyfriend has a good business in Mexico, I guess I would think twice before throwing that away, because you could probably have a fairly pleasant life in Mexico after graduation. Another issue you will likely have is proving some sort of domicile as part of the I-864 requirements since you have been living in Mexico for the past several years. I suggest you study everything required for the immigration process and think about where you both want to live and work long-term so you can plan accordingly, especially considering the current economic situation in the US.

Good luck with what you decide!

Thanks for the quick reply! I will do just that then :)



I also have my doubts about filling out this form. ALOT of my answers don´t fit nicely. Should I just fill in on the computer the ones that do fit and handwrite the others or does that look bad? Or should I just handwrite all of it?

Any ideas anybody? Is it possible to change the font somehow to make it fit?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion Merida Consulate
Thanks so much! I saw that the Juarez website says that you get the visa the same day in some cases and in other cases it comes a week later. Juarez is very far away from Merida and if my fiance got the visa the day he went to the interview he could just come on from there to the US. Is there any way of planning for this? Will we know ahead of time if he is going to get the visa the same day? If I went to Juarez with him would they allow me to go in with him to the interview?

US citizen is not allowed to attend the interview (based on information in the Embassy Info section here on VJ) - doesn't prevent you from being close by though.

No way to know ahead of time if you'll get the visa at all, much less the same day - that would require a crystal ball.

Thank you so much! Karin und Otto.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYoung child to follow K1
My fiance and I are waiting for the AOS2 and then he hopes to go the interview as soon as possible after that. On our original 129-F we applied for a K-2 visa for his seven year old daughter to follow later. I know that eventually she will have to have a medical exam in Juarez but I am not sure how we will do that. Would my fiance have to apply for advance parole to come back to take her to the interview? Does anyone know of a place on VJ that I can read more about young children that followed later (esp from Mexico)?
I would really like to find a VJ member that has gone through a similar experience so I can ask you a few questions.
I have read this in the guides but I would like to meet a person that did it:
4.4.1)...Must the K2 child attend the interview at the Consulate?
A...Generally, yes. The Consulate sets the requirements. Some do not require the child to attend if they are under 14, and some will require the child to attend even if they are not going to move to the United States with the parent, but will "follow to join" later.
back
4.4.2)...My child did not move with me to the United States, but now he wants to move here. He was listed on the I-129F petition. Can he still get a K2 visa?
A..I included my Ukrainian fiance's 18 year son on the I-129f form. My fiancee went for her interview alone on Jan 27th, 1998. She immediately came to the US and we were married on Feb 21st. I called the US Embassy in Warsaw in July and explained that my Stepson was ready for his interview. He had 1 year to come the US on the k-2 visa. They set an appointment for him in 30 days. They mailed him the same forms as they did for my wife. He had to get the same documentation as my wife had to for her interview. As soon as he arrived in the US we applied for his change of status and work card.
(FAQ note: the son moved to the US in Sept 98, and even had the visa interview delayed a month due to problems obtaining an international passport. He was not even required to have a new I-134 affidavit, Although his step dad sent one to him.)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp with decision
I need some opinions. In a few weeks my fiance has his interview in Juarez, Mexico. I am flying to meet him but I got a ticket to El Paso instead of to Juarez (because it costs $500 less to fly to El Paso). My flight arrives at 7:00 in El Paso and so my fiance has arranged for a taxi to take him from Juarez to El Paso to pick me up. We were uncomfortable with me traveling in a taxi alone at night in Juarez so we thought this was the best solution. He has a B1/B2 visa that he uses to come back and forth for visits and so we assume he would be able to cross to get me. Some of his friends recommended that we do not do this because he might get refused entry since he is now likely registered as an intending immigrant. They said that then he would have to put on his forms that he has been refused entry and would have to go through a different process. If this were the case then of course he should just not even try to come pick me up. To be honest I am very anxious about traveling alone at night in Juarez and I was so relieved when we came up with the idea of him coming to get me. I am trying to weigh the benefits against the risks and need some people’s opinions to help with the decision.

DCF is Direct Consular Filing at the embassy. FASTER than K1, K3. It ends up being a CR-1 spouse visa. You file a I-130 at the embassy. You file I-130. Separate ones for you and the baby.
You have to have lived in Mexico for at least 6 months.

No need to use capitals.

Marry him and do a DCF. LOT faster. Yes you have to use a sponsor.




Really?..It was my first tought.. but someone told me that the k-1 visa is faster than the k-3?.. I will do whatever is faster.

Because I have a 14 year old daughter (american citizen from my first marriage) and she will start high school in August 2010. And I want to go with her, but I dont want to leave my fiancee and my baby (I have a baby with my fiancee..he es 8 months). I tried to get the Certificate Report of Birth Aboard for the baby but I did not qualify because I am not married with his dad, then I am a "single mom" for that purpose. And I had to stayed in USA for 1 year continuosly.. And I always came to Mexico in Christmas.. so my time un USA wasnt continous.

Anyway.. thats why I think on getting a K-1, k-.2 visas for my fiancee and our baby.

You can estimate the dates you were here and explain that you do not know your status as you were brought by your parents. I think you should be OK. On another point, why can't you ask your parents? They should be able to help you even if the relationship has soured - as it is they are the only parents you are going to have in this life, and you are going to be their child in this life no matter what.

hello,
here's my problem....
I think that when I was less then 10 I was unlawfully in the states, but Im not sure.
I know my parents had work permitts but i don't know if they came in with visas (or me for that case)
We moved to canada after living in the states and I know that when we lived there we had a legal stauts (we where not unlawfully in canada) which means that when we left the states we where not deported.
I know that if the case would be that my family and I had been the states illegaly it would not count becuase i was under 18?
ok , so on my k1 visa form it asked me t tell them if i had ever been in the states should i say yes? even though I dont remember the WAY i came in, with or with out visa? It also asks me to tell them the entry date and exsit date, what should i say if i don't know? and it also ask me to tell them if i was ever unlawfully in te states, if the im right about "they don't count an unlawfully stay if done someone did it when under the age of 18" should i say yes or no? is there anywhere i can find out this information about the stauts i had in the states? will this afect my chances to be with my fiance in the states? ps
***i can't get this information from my famly***
and another question Im living in mexico but i am a citizen of el salvador. Im here with a Fm3 visa marked a dependent of my parents (they work for a canadian company and are wait for there residentship from canada. is this going to affect me? Im turn 21 this year too so my stay in the states was about or more then ten years ago. please help

Hi Arianna,
if you enter US now, you have an US citizen with you. You are bringing that citizen to see her dad. I really doubt they will deny you entry! (Never had problems with bringing my son (and me) to see his dad and I did that with staying in US out of 24 month probably 18, but with leaving US in between. I had a B1/B2 at that time.)
If they ask more (which I doubt!), then you can say, that you are staying for about 3 months or whatever your flight ticket shows.

You are in a different situation having a US citizen with you!

Wishing you luck and a quick journey.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA few questions:
Well, I have property here in Mexico and I´m still running my internet advertisement business. Is this what you mean?

So my name wouldn´t be flagged?

How long could they let me stay as a tourist?

The thing is that after those 6 months of being here he kind of lost his job, so we decided to change cities he used to be in Florida and he went back up to start all over in Las Vegas. He´s doing well, he has a job but he is shareing a house with other people since rent is chaper this way. If I head up there he has to look for an apartment since I can´t live in the shared house, so if I head up and they don´t let me stay then he would have left a good living arragement and be stuck with an apartment by himself until I get there.

So does anyone think they will let me stay for around 2 months or so? Until my apointment comes through.
It would also be easyer because I´m afraid of taking my baby to CDJ all by myself, I´ve heard some bad things about that place and my daughter is a bit hard to control. lol

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA few questions:
Thank you everyone.

I think I didn´t write clearly and I will explain better. Sorry.

We met over 5 years ago, he came back and forth to visit me then I got pregnant and she was born on feb of 2006.
He came down for her Birth (we have pics)
He came once on Xmas of 2006 (we have pics of them together)
He came on her Bday (also have pics)
Then he came back last August to get her paperwork done: We managed to register here in Mexico, we spent Xmas together (we have pics) and we registered our daughter at the US consulate in Mexico City (she recieved her US passport in March).
I got a tourist visa a month ago and the interviewer that grants them knew I am trying to see her father... Before she granted it she said "you know you can´t stay with this visa right?" I said "Yes, I have to come back for the Ciudad Juares interview anyway" And she said "Okay, your visa is granted"
But now I´m not sure if I should go as a tourist because I´m afraid they are going to tell me I can only stay for 15 days or something like that and we can´t be spending on two flights going back and forth because my baby has to stay with me... So I was thinking maybe I can go up once we know exaclty when I get the CDJ apointment? But maybe they would deny me entry because my name comes up or something... I miss him... She misses her Daddy so much.... They really bonded these six months he was here.

  1. Once somebody looks at our case and lets say gets approved, then they send my fiance in the US the NOA2. Right?
  2. Then he has to fill something out?
  3. Also he has to send me the "further instructions" down here to Mexico?
  4. Then I take these documents to CDJ?
  5. How long between him receiveing the NOA2 and when I get my official appointment? Or how does this work exactly? This part gets confusing to me.
  6. This medical exam I have to get, does it include the vaccines?
  7. Is it mandatory that I have to get vaccines? Which ones are normaly required?
  8. After the medical, I go to the interview?
  9. After getting the visa, can I cross over to El Paso and that´s it? Or do I have to come back home and wait for something else?
Sorry if these questions are the same as others before, but this process gets a bit confusing.

Hello everybody!
I have a situation where I visited my girlfriend in Ukraine on December 2007, then in January i came back and I filed I-129F for the fiancé visa, and after that I found out she is pregnant. According to current timeline, it looks like she will get NO2 in end of July – beginning of August, but her due date is end of September, so she will not be able to get to US before the birth. Is there a special procedure I should go thru or the child will be given visa after the birth automatically? Also, do I have to report that my fiancée is pregnant? If I do – how and where? Is there a special form to fill out or I can just write a letter? Do I to report it to embassy in Ukraine or to California Service center?
Thank you everyone for your help, I will appreciate it so much!!!

Yes we went through that this year. My fiance and I have a 2 year old daughter and she was born here in Mexico, but we were only able to register her until this february at the US Embassy and she recieved her Consular Report of Birth Abroad certificate and her US Passport. So all we are waiting for is the K1 visa and then we can join him in the States and get married. It shouldn´t be a problem.

This post by a former adjuticator explains the RFE process pretty simply. The put the file aside until you send back what they need. Once it's back, they process it. We know by reading here that some cases take longer than others... probably has to do with when the adjuticator that has your case sets time to go over their RFE's. Some seem to do it much quicker than others.

Did you send it back using some sort of trackable system? Return receipt, etc? It is always a good idea to send anything to USCIS or the Consulates using a method that has a tracking number. They are notorious for not acknowledging the receipt of mail and often your tracking receipt is the only way you know they received it.


No he didn't. How could we know if they recieved it then? Should we call? Or wait and be patient?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRequest for aditional evidence
On July 16 we were sent a request for aditional evidence.
They just needed his divorce papers that he missed sending, he sent it back exactly 1 week later but we don't know if they recieved it. There is no change on our status online and no word from them.
Should we have heard from them?
Should there be a decision by now?
I am getting concerned about this. My concern is that they haven't recieved it and we are just sitting here wasting time.

A child must be of majority age (21) before they can petition for a parent... I cannot imagine traveling with your daughter would be the basis of any entry refusal. In fact by refusing you they de facto are refusing entry to a USC because your daughter cannot go alone


You're always running a risk but I think yours is minimal. The fact that you were granted a visa after petition filing says a lot and as fwaguy says, turning you away would turn your daughter away. You have a nearly iron clad path to legal residency, so there's very little reason to suspect you intend to circumvent US immigration law. I'd just explain as calmly and assertively at the POE as you did for the visa, and keep a positive expectation.


Oh wow! These replys have made my day. Thank you very much!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTourist Visa Question
My fiance and I have a 2 year old daughter who has her US Citizenship throgh him, filled at the Mexico City consulate. I was given a Tourist Visa a few months ago valid for 1 year. The interviewer knew that I filled the I-129F and approved me but asked me first "You know you can't stay permanently there with this visa, right?", I said "Yes, I have to come back for the CDJ intrview anyway" And then she said "Okay, aproved."
I haven't gone to visit yet though. My question is:

Would they most likely deny my entry because of my daughter?

She is with me and I would be flying in with her, so I am concerned that because of her Citizenship the officer would deny our entry thinking I have other motives than just visiting.

We would like to do the following: We would fly up and stay until we get the NOA2, then I would leave our daughter with him and I fly down to CDJ for the interview and then go back. We have 5 months into this already but have been probably delayed a bit because of a simple Request for Additional Evidence. He can't stand that our kid is growing up without him, but we are affraid of waisting slim money we got on a flight and then being sent back.
