K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa, not married within 90 days, overstay?

Come on now, the poster never said that they filed the k1 to buy time to get to know her. You are just putting words into his mouth. I know you must be upset that they are at the end of their journey and they are expressing doubt but it cant be great for them either. They have been through all the waiting we have, finally got to the crunch and they cant decide if they are doing the right thing. Imagine the disappointment for their family and friends.

Im willing to guess they dont want your "empathy/patience" they just want impartial advice. YOU dont know the details of what has happened or what they are going through. Its better they have their doubts now then after the wedding.

Good luck to you guys whatever your choice :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAbout to file k1 visa for fiancee in the Philippines

I actually got confused on this question too and rather than thinking

 

"Well I havent ever even lived in the US so this question doesnt apply to me i better put "NONE"

 

I thought "Hmm if I just put my current address again that'll be fine" headbonk.gif  Expecting an RFE

In it has to be someone like your gp or a civil servant.. It's the same as if you were getting your passport picture signed

 

Actually the list of people does include "Manager" and iw as wondering the same thing..as I have a "Team Leader" and I wasnt sure if this counted as a manager..though she is a manager, but im not sure if thats her job title...hmm perhaps someone can clarify

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1

This question may have been asked before but I am going to ask it anyway... I am the USC and will one day file on behave of my fiance. My question is for all of you filers, who was the person most trusted to file the papaerwork ie. the man or the woman? I do not ask to be prejudice but to prevent any delays and for accuracy purposes. Is it based on the more knowledeable person or do the woman primarily do all the filing and just leave the man up to the signing? unsure.pngunsure.png

 

I think the OP is referring to who is the main organiser and leader of the paperwork stuff. My fiance and I thought he would be the best at compiling the info and organising it as im pretty unorganised and scatty but I surprised both of us by being pretty organised and efficient.... That being said, we really work tremendously well with each other, and ended up doing around 50/50....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresrefile 129F or get married in UK?

My opinion would be get married and go for spousal because its cheaper and that way he will be able to work straight away on arrival into the states. Thats what we would do if we had researched the process properly.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHaving a non-legally binding wedding before the K1 visa is processed

Is it okay to have an ecclesiastical (Church) wedding ceremony in the USA on the VWP visitors visa before the K1 visa has been processed? What are the risks involved at the consulate interview? Will this cause problems when I go for AOS?


This is a really bad idea. U need to forget this thought and wait for ur real wedding or abandon ur k1 and get married and apply for a spousal visa. Any sniff of a wedding or what looks like a wedding and you will get a big fat NO.

Is it worth it?

Yeah we also attached a sheet and wrote stuff like

 

"then Stefanie came to visit me on the 10th september (please see boarding pass and eticket) and we went to the Statue of Liberty (Evidence A) and did this and that.

 

We also wrote what attracted us to each other and why we choose each other to be our partners

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion 18 on I-129f

That sounds good to me.

 

We personally attached a sheet detailing how we met, what attracted us to eachother, the dates we met (as evidence by boarding pass A) and we went here (as evidence by receipt B)

 

But the advice generally is keep it short and to the point which sounds just perfectly what u have done

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEntering US with K-1 Visa and round-trip ticket
I meant forfeit :) as in the rest of the ticket will be useless. You dont get charged for no showing only if u wanted to rebook this flight at a later date youd have a change fee to pay
AzsaraFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-06-22 21:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEntering US with K-1 Visa and round-trip ticket

Hey I work for an airline so thought id give my 2 cents! The reason a return ticket is cheaper is because nearly all airline tickets require a Saturday night stay in the itinerary. If there is no Saturday night stay i.e a one-way flight the ticket rules have to be waived and it pushes the ticket up to a fully flexible fare.

 

Its a way for airlines to make money on business travellers who rarely stay a Saturday night stay and will just get their companies to pay the high cost of the ticket.

 

As above poster said theres no problem in No Showing the return flight though u should check the rules of the ticket as some tickets will foreit if u no show on them. And the remaining sector will be lost. (usually the case with cheaper lower flexible fares so make sure u check). 

 

Alternatively some tickets will allow u to change the date for a fee and if the new date u pick is mroe expensive there may be a fare difference on top of that

 

Hope this helps

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWedding venue booked - need visa within 10 weeks of NOA2. Help!

Originally we were going to decide on a date as soon as we got our NOA2 but after reading this im thinking I may wait until the interview is scheduled before we decide a date. Leaving it till Visa in Hand is way too late and wed rather run the risk of having to move it than have 99% of the the UK family not be able to come because its too late notice

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow to bind copy of I-129F for embassy interview?

 

First of all, you don't need the I-129F form itself at a visa interview; the interview would not be taking place had the petition not been approved.  Secondly, the space to exchange documents is small, so anything you want to excnage would have to be removed from the binder.

 

 

 

You don't need this, an interview would not be taking place had the petition not been approved.  The NOA2 is nothing more than the notice that the petition has been approved.  All you are doing by including it is putting a piece of fluff in the file you are taking with you.

 

ill be taking this worthless piece of fluff any way :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPast police issues

I dont think its a bad idea to pull your own record and check it out

 

1) it means you'll stop worrying about it (this process is stressful enough)

 

2) It'll buy you time to deal with any surprises. Both emotionally and practically

 

I know a couple of members of VJ who got a sexual health test, HIV test, and TB test wayyy before their medical just to make sure they were prepared.

 

Prepartion really is important, why not?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresApplication for Fiance Visa denied!

 

A ring is not required. You could get engaged through text, on the phone, or a webcam. You do not have to be face-to-face to decide to get married. The only requirement for being together in person is that you have done so at least once within the 2 years prior to filing your petition.
 

 

Correct, we didnt physically get engaged when we sent our petition off.

 

As far as the law is concerned you are engaged as soon as you sign the letter of intent.

 

He didnt propose until a month after we sent the i129f off :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow Long After a Medical is Interview Scheduled?

My fiance is waiting on his police ceritificates for his medical (he should have it this week), but I was wondering how long after the medical does it take to get an interview in the UK at the London Embassy (approx) ? Thanks so much! Layla

 

Heya as Nich Nick said, the waiting time for an interview date can be quite a while, though judging on other peoples time lines im guessing my interview will be around a month after medical. I will be sending in my Ready to interview form plus the DS forms as soon as the embassy has my file and before my medical to try to speed it up. Have u started looking at the forms u need to send the embassy?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I visit fiance before we file?

no more risk than any other time, though if you travel mid visa application then i guess its LESS of a risk of being denied as you can show your doing things legally...

 

anyways :P you'll be fine just make sure u have ties to home


AzsaraFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-08-09 12:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOur plan. Good or bad?

A marriage license is usually only good for a month or so, so if you get one now it won't be good when you need it.

 

You can't get married now unless you want to forfeit the K-1 process and start over with a spousal visa.

 

You can't de facto live in the US.  Border Patrol will catch on to your pattern and see you are living in the US and just going home for a few days and deny you entry.

 

Also just an FYI to those interested yes, its only valid for a month from when you actually PICK IT UP from the town hall, you can however, apply for it now and let it sit there until your within a month to your wedding date. this is what Steve and I did x

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDS-230 question 32 and 33

Just a few quick questions, on question 32 on the DS230 form where it says 'in what occupation do you intend to work in the United States?'. If I don't really know the answer to that question what is the best answer to write?

 

And on question 33 on the same form where it asks ' list below all educational institutes attended?'. Is that just asking for college or universities? or high schools too?

 

Thanks

 

 

For me I put "Unknown"

 

and on 33 I put every insitutute, secondary, college and uni, but i left out infant school

Oh boy! You've gotten the best advice from members here so go for it. But wait "If you think I'm selfish you can go crawl back under the rock you came from" kinda sound racist, don't you all think so? From the comment, it doesn't sound like you're engaged to a woman, are you? Please learn to respect others, if you truly expect some.

 

Good luck!

 

Its an english expression ,not a rascist slur
