That seems strange to me also, I dont understand, if you want to get married it seems having a child is just another step in your relationship. To be honest I dont understand that, and cant understand how they could count that against you.

actually you can sue a lawyer for malpractice just like a doctor from what I have seen you can win this case, I have seen it happen before you have the evidence to show he was careless in prepairing the paperwork. Good Luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFORM I-129F (REVISED) HELP!!!
I dont think Marm got rfe I think was asking if using the older version of I 129f that may cause one.

Marm I dont know the answer to that question, but if you got the NOA1 IM guessing they accepted the form you used. ###### Luck to you and Happy New Year

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPreparation of I-129F and original packet?
What pushbrk and Greg001 said are correct. its best not to put in plastic sleeves and just paper clip and bind the stuff together. When USCIS gets the packet it goes to there mail room, with I found out not long ago is a secured area. The check is taken out there and stamped with a case number, the packet is then attached to a folder in the order that USCIS wants it in, The folder is layed out where on one side the case worker can review thinkings in your packet and on the other side is a check list of thing that the case worker uses to make sure the packet has everything needed and he/she signs off on them as they are completed. The folder also gets a sticker with your new case number own it and a bar code with USCIS uses to track the case, When the file is moved or worked on they are suppose to scan the barcode to show activity, that is the touchs you will read about on this site. The cases are then put in a box and put in storage until a case worker pulls the box with you case on it and starts working that box.

As far as sending the it in, ship it in a way that you will know when its delievered. I see lots using UPS or Fedex or DHL. I used Priority Mail and got a tracking numbe, I was able to go online at the post office website and knew when my packet arrived. But any of those methods are good, just priority mail is a lot cheaper. Dang I didnt mean to sound like a add for the post office, but it did work well for us. LoLz Good Luck smile.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProcessing time of K-1 Visa
We did the K-1 filing ourself so cant tell you about hiring a lawyer, but I can say we had no problems on our own. I can tell you using a lawyer does not speed things up, it still goes at the same pace. If your luck you could get K-1 Noa2 in 3 months but dont expext that, more realistic is to look at 4 to 6 months and yes your correct some have taken much much longer. Good Luck to you on how every you and your fiance decide to file.

PhilippinesAre there any Interview fees???
My fiance lives in Mindanao so they charged her 450 pesos for visa delievery fee. Im not sure how they calculate the deliever fees, IM guessing its done on how far they have to go to deliever or we got overcharged one. If it was the later 200 pesos is a small amount to have to over pay and they did get the visa to us fast considering it was over the christmas holidays. Good Luck on your interview.

Philippinesmeeting the parents
Thank you. Hum we had chinese food the day I meet Radz parents, I think I was more nervious than she was meeting my parents. Her father the first thing he ask me was " What are you intentions with my Daughter", I told him that with his permission I wanted to marry her, and things when great from there on. Now I look back on it, im glad he ask me that right off, I was trying to figure out the best time to ask him for permission to marry her, and he beat me to the punch. Her family was great to me and Im so happy with the results of todays visit. I know my parents very well and knew she would be accepted but this was even better than i hoped for....

I was so proud of her and so happy that my family showed her so much love. I was treated the same why by her parents when I visited her in Davao.0

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 for K-1 Visa Sent!!!! :)
Congradulations, We got our notice today also was almost exactly the same I came home from work and read VJ postings then wrote a email to Radz, then went to check USCIS. I was expecting to see last update 7/9/2008 again and it said 10/31/2008, so i clicked the link and found our notice had been mailed out Oct. 30. After this the fire department had to come to my house and pull me out of the ceiling, i guess i jumped to high ( not really just kidding here) but was very excited so I called Radz because I knew she wanted to know even though it was 430 am there we talked for 2 hours and we both were so happy that we cant believe it has we finnally got the noa2. Good luck to everyone on the next step. I guess I will stop typing now because I think im just running on with nothing more of any importance to say. lolz

K1 visa usually just stay at NVC about 3 days after they recieve them, NVC has no processing to do on them just assign a new case number they they electroicly and via couier send the pack to the embassy. Good Lucky, it goes much faster from here own out.

hello Ms Jane We filled in june and got noa1 on june 16, we got Noa2 Oct 30th 141 days. You are at the 4 month mark and your noa2 could come anyday now. This is the hardest part of the wait or it was for us because you have no idea whats going on with your petition if its lost or someone maybe put the box with your file in it, in som closet or the worker on your case went on vacation you just come up with all kinds of crazy thoughts then one day you get the noa2 and its such a relief. IM not going to tell you to be patient because i know that dont help, The only thing i can say you are getting close and should see something in the next few weeks. Good Luck from Steve and Radz
