United KingdomBetween NOA2 and Interview - 2010

Glad it's helping! I'm editing that first post as I go, trying to find out more about what I need and more specifically trying to find anything that I need for my daughter's K-2. My current "find-out" is if the instruction to do an I-134 for each applicant applies to her too.

There is such a big hole in the K-2/4 information, my next focus is going to be on filling said hole! lol


It is my understanding that a I-134 is required for each applicant, including K-2. I, the USC, filled out two. One for my then fiancee and one for her daughter. For item 9 on the K-2's I-134, I wrote, 'fiancee's name, with this same petition'. Oh, and the Relationship to Sponsor, I wrote, 'daughter of fiancee'. Both I-134s were taken when asked for the affidavit of support and accompanying docs. We provided only one set of supporting docs for both affidavits.

As far as the letter of consent is concerned, we were not asked for one since there's no father listed on the BC. However, my wife was questioned on it by the CO asking if her daughter had any contact with the biological father, which was none. The CO seemed satisfied with that and moved on.

The one thing the CO keyed on with the K-2 questions was her relationship to me. I'm thinking this is probably judged on a case by case basis depending on the circumstances, but in our case, the CO seemed very interested in this.

On a side note, we were armed with a certified letter from her solicitor in lieu of the letter of consent, signed by both Claire and the solicitor, just in case. It was not looked at nor asked for, but it did give us a certain sense of security for the interview. I can't remember exactly how it was worded, but in a nutshell, it stated sole parental custody under UK law, including her right to remove her daughter from the country. It also contained a paragraph basically showing a sworn statement that the biological father is unknown.

As you are probably aware, it's hard to get solid information on the K-2 stuff, but we managed to pick up bits and pieces here and there and I'm happy to share what we did. We sort of felt like we were flyin a little blind but it all worked out. I wish VJ had a subsection dedicated to this topic.

my other halfs name was spelt wrong on the nvc letter (his middle name). It's spelled correctly on all the i129f forms. Should we be worried or calling the extortion line?


Good question. I'm assuming you mean the beneficiary name is misspelled? Hopefully someone has an answer on this on for ya, but if it were me I'd call the NVC. Maybe posting this in the consulate section might get a few hits.

Could you expand on this, Nik+Heather? Our police cert says "no trace," but we figured that just means he has no criminal record.


The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 enables some criminal convictions to become 'spent', or ignored, after a set length of time from the date of conviction. After this period, with certain exceptions, an ex-offender is not normally obliged to mention their conviction when applying for a job or obtaining insurance, or when involved in criminal or civil proceedings. The “No Live Trace” indicates that information may be available relating to a ‘spent’ conviction. “No Trace” indicates a clean police record.

Wow, just got back in town and it's so nice to see the new approvals and interview dates! Congrats to all :)


Just a quick POE review for everyone...

First off, the flight from Gatwick was okay, and there was a bit of excitement We sat on the tarmac for an hour as 2 passengers were removed from the plane then we were off for home. The winds in Charlotte can be quite brutal and I nearly lost my lunch as we were touching down, and I fly a lot. The cabin was applauding the crew, which I've never seen before. Wow...just, wow.

POE - We both queued up in the non-USC line and filled out the 'White' I-94 form while in line. The people on the plane kept shoving the I-94W 'Green form' in our faces and wouldn't give us the white one, saying we didn't need it. Grrr...

There was a woman checking documents at the front of the queue and I explained that I, the USC, was escorting my fiancee back from England and was hoping to accompany her through immigration since I was the visa sponsor. She agreed to allow me to move to the booth to check in with my fiancee. The officer took our passports, asked the standard questions about what we brought in as he was looking at the customs forms. We explained that my fiancee was entering on a K-1 visa, he didn't' bat an eye and took the xray and brown envelope then handed the xray right back. He opened the envelope to verify it's contents and told us that if anyone asks why it was opened to tell them he did it. At that point I noted his name badge and booth number just in case. She was fingerprinted, photographed, given a number and told to exit to to an area and present the number to an official there. He took my fiancee's passport and envelope and sent them off with someone.

We both were allowed to wait together with our luggage in this area while everything was being processed. During this time I was called by name and asked why I was there. I said I was traveling with my fiancee and she said ok, then disappeared around the corner. Then another man walked by and congratulated me on my marriage and I said, thanks but we're not married yet. He laughed and said, oh right!

Another very nice woman called us over and explained the one entry bit and recommended we file for AP and a SS card for her asap, went over a few more things and told us we could gather our luggage and proceed out. We smiled as we realized that was it, we're through! A very good experience overall, no hassles and very professional people, especially the last woman, she was just as nice as could be and very informative. The queue was quite long and the whole process took about 1 hour 45 minutes. The worst part was the landing in Charlotte. Luckily our connection wasn't for another 2 hours after that, so I treated Claire to a pulled pork sandwich with slaw on top (Carolina style) and fried dill pickles which she loved!

We're home now and catchin up on sleep!

Ok - I called and although it has been more than 5 working days they said they might be picking up the packed today and to check online after 3pm. Phew.



Take the 3 to 5 working days with a grain of salt. I'd say they're averaging 8 working days.


Oh, and Congrats to the recent approvals!!! All those January stars be lookin good! :D

At secondary - no wait. 4 people behind desks and one other person waiting. Lady took my stuff, but after couple of mins asked me if I had any more photos as they were missing one. Oh dear, not a problem I hoped! Luckily, her colleague saw LND and says "uh, check the backs of all the forms, look in the oddest of places because them guys over there have a habit of hiding them" and they both laughed. And then she did find the photo, stapled to the back of some random form.
HINT - if this happens, ask them to check the backs of all the pages ;-)


Thanks for the tip! Glad everything went well :) Welcome home!

now i need to find a job!



You probably won't see this until later, but have a smooth journey home! If you get time later, maybe you could drop me a note about how things went in Philly.

Take care!

How do you track it? On our invoice it says to go to the website and use the invoice number and post code to track it, this doesn't work. Is the invoice number 10 digits long?



Yes that's what we did. used the invoice number and post code. I checked ours again and now it's not showing any info when it did earlier. It originally said the 11th, then changed to the 12th, now it says it's not in the system. Uhh....not sure what's up with that. We're going to call DX int he morning and see what's up.

Please let me know if you see any changes on your end.

hi everyone :) i'm posting this on behalf of my fiancé, dan, as he does not yet have a visajourney account. we're both a bit nervous about his upcoming k-1 interview at the london embassy. he's scheduled for his interview on january 19th, and his medical exam is scheduled for january 15th. he called the embassy yesterday to confirm the dates, and the person he spoke with said that he won't be allowed to attend his interview if the embassy does not have the results of his medical exam. this worries us, because everything we've read so far says that as long as the medical exam is at least booked, it's okay to attend the interview.

thanks in advance for everyone's help. any chance we could get added to the list of january 2010 london interviews? :) thanks!

~jennifer


That does sound like a bit of a sticky one. I know that the medical requirements changed in that regard a few months ago. Some people here have managed to get their interview dates changed to accommodate various things. Possibly someone can chime in and instruct you on the best way to do this. I'm only suggesting that route to give you piece of mind knowing that the medical results have a better chance of being there before the interview. I think it would be a real pain and very frustrating to get there just to be turned away because of one or two days lapse in them getting the results of the medical exam.

I will be happy to add your name to the list! Please keep us posted on what happens and good luck!

In 48 hours time I'll have the result of this long process. Can hardly believe it. Buses seem to be running for now so still on track for leaving tomorrow night.
Rather nervous now.


Claire and I had a mini-freakout the night/day before. She put her game face on when she got there and did wonderful. I'm sure everything will be ok! :) Good luck!

we just got our visa this morning (interview at 8) or will do in hopefully 3-5 days!!! :-)

neither letters of intent were needed, didnt need our joint sponsor either!

first lady took the forms and didn't say much. the 2nd person didnt ask anything... just in passing asked how long we had been together (answered 7 years) and he just made a joke of it taking 6 years to get engaged! that was about it!!! :-)



Conogratulations! Woo!

Hello Everyone :)

I'm pleased to say Claire and her daughter have been APPROVED!!

Claire called me at 4:30am to give me the news and there's NO way I can go back to sleep! Thank you all for your support, we could not have done it without this place and the great people that are a part of it.

A wonderful, yet stressful 3 years apart is about to come to a close and we can now look forward to being reunited and live out our remaining days together. Words cannot describe the feeling!

:star: :dance: :star: :dance:

My beautiful girls are coming home!

Thanks everybody!! We are approved. I will type up the review in a bit. He is already getting things ready to come over. So maybe tomorrow we will know when it will start to fall into place. I AM SO HAPPY! I could freaking cry right now.


Congratulations! :D

Welp, tomorrow is the big day. I swear the nerves are about to do us both in. Waiting on the verge is probably the best and worst part of this whole process. Excited, yet a sense of "omg what if" mixed in.

Looking for good news from Jewel-8. Hope everything went well!

Hey all. I have a quick question for anyone that knows.

Will my fiance need to pay 2 passport courier fees for hers and a k2 for her daughter? Oh..I can't seem to find the premium delivery service rate either.

QUOTE (Justine+David @ Dec 7 2009, 08:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'd add the long version of the birth certificate which can also take a couple of weeks to get and there have been some VJ members on here who have had to get them twice because a parent's name was spelled wrong, etc.



I'll second that! That little glitch set us back 3 weeks.

On another note, I'd suggest reviewing the original I-129f packet. While I was reading over ours before sending it off to Claire, I noticed my letter of intent wasn't done properly. When I stated I intend to marry within 90 days, etc, I wrote, "MY arrival to the US", not HER. /Facepalm! I sent her an updated and notarized one with the correction in case it comes up. USCIS didn't seem to care as far as we know but we thought it best to be armed with a new one.

I guess this is a good time to chime in and give congratulations to everyone who has their dates. Hoping this will be a good year for everyone! Claire and I are very excited to be a part of it and even more excited to begin planning our moving/travel arrangements.

Good luck and best wishes to everyone!
