K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting after NOA1, not within the two years requirement

It is just amazing how after reading the advices here I went to Walmart to print the pictures of my visitation to send them to Texas Service Center. I ran into a friend who asked me about how things were going. Without giving much details, my friend told me he was glad that I already filed. He also told me... and this is the part that pushed my faith even more... he told me: "Put that petition in God's hands. No matter what conditions, difficulties, requirements, problems, or whatever, the case will be processed by God through the immigration department".

Except that petition won't get to "God's" hands because it will only be handled by an adjudicator and that guy won't be touched by divine intervention, so I'd go ahead and follow the advice of the countless people that have already posted.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdenied past visas

Ever seen that new show on TLC "90 day fiancée?" well one of the women on there 1st tried for a work visa and got denied, then later on applied for a K1 visa and she got approved to come. So I don't think it matters.

 

Is this real life? Giving advice based on a reality tv show?

 

Oof.

I wouldn't start making concrete plans (or putting down payments) until you're approved. Too risky imo.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPassport ID photos

He went to a "photo me" photo booth and they only had one option. It's close to the right size, but rectangular in shape instead of square. I don't think it'll be difficult for a copy shop to do a good scan and fix the size. If it doesn't work, then I get to wait another 2 weeks for him to find a place and send it to me. *sigh* international post takes forever.

We used the same thing for our CR-1. They accepted ours.

Didn't do K-1, but did file our entire petition/subsequent documents into a large binder with each piece of evidence or paperwork placed into a plastic sleeve. Tabbed each page with a sticky note to explain the contents. Each section had a contents page to describe the particular information and documents. Basically, I treated it like my thesis.

 

The Husband's interview-er mentioned how much easier it made her decision.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to deal with my anxiety through this whole process :|

Invest your time and energies planning for the subsequent stages of the process:  consular, adjusting to life in the U.S. and what your goals are, AOS, ROC, citizenship.  Read the Canada regional forum and the "Embassy Reviews" for the first part.  Read the Canada forum for adjusting to life here (there will be details of interest).  Focus on what's ahead and under your control.

This.

 

Also, make a stiff drink.Some of my best wedding planning came from a bottle of Glenfiddich.

Hmmmm.. That is strange, Cause normally they would keep the passport to stamp the visa in and send it via a courier back, I would try to call them and see what is going on, Just so that you know where you stand.

Good luck :)

This. Call them or email them when you can.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
After reading this thread, I am now all sorts of worried about my fiance's upcoming trip! I will be traveling to England for ten days to spend Christmas with him and his family. Our plan was to come back on the 29th and for him to stay out the 90 days of a tourist visa under the VWP. Now I'm wondering if that's too long. I haven't seen him in nine months and we were hoping to spend a good amount of time together.

Another concern is that he will be returning to the UK from Korea a few days before I arrive. This means that he will not have any sort of letter from an employer to show customs that he has to return. He will literally just have finished his employment right before this trip. Could it be played off as a holiday/visiting fiance/leisure? Is a return ticket and our NOA1/Evidence packet enough for this to be legit? :wacko:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 Affidavit of Support- Obligations of Co Signer??
Okay, maybe I'm going to answer my own questions now... :blush:

Are these the figures I should be basing my salary meeting requirements for I-134 for the interview and I-184 for AOS?

( Found on website: http://www.usac.org/...equirements.pdf )


Persons with 2 in household= $18,388

Or do I STARTING now include my fiance in the household count? (At the time of the interview are they looking at fiance already being in the picture so to speak, already in the household count?)

Persons with 3 in household= $23,163

(F.Y.I... These are for the 48 states' guidelines, not including Hawaii or Alaska)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 Affidavit of Support- Obligations of Co Signer??

You might have more luck trying to get him to feel better about the obgligations of the I-134 if you lay out to him what your plans are to be able to meet the minimum income requirements at tht time you AOS.

........

I would come up with a specific plan you can lay out to your dad as to what steps you'll take to be able to AOS without him being a co-sponsor for that aspect. He might feel a lot better abut signing the I-134 if he knows for sure he won't be co-sponsoring at the time you file for AOS...




:thumbs: :thumbs:

I just have to figure out what those minimum income requirements are and I feel like I should be above it? Thanks for the advice here, I'm going to use it! :yes:
eagle+eyedFemaleJamaica2011-10-03 19:48:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 Affidavit of Support- Obligations of Co Signer??

The obligations are outlined in the I-864 on page 6 http://www.uscis.gov.../form/i-864.pdf
Print this out and show it to him. It clearly states what his obligations are as a co-sponsor.
Best of luck!


The link goes to I-184, is that the one you use for AOS?

And in regards to AOS and having him sign again, which I hadn't even realized would be required, I'm wondering if that income limit is the same 125% above poverty line? And when I read some posters say ALWAYS have a co signer just incase someone at interview time says you don't make enough, then you have a plan B... I am curious if there's a straight answer for income or if it truly does vary on case by case basis, ex: new job, new hours, etc

Basically if you wife gets on welfare / subsistence they will come after him. Do the son thing, be positive.


haha Thanks,
(I'm the daughter though and foreign fiance husband to be)


I guess this brings me more questions, currently I am living as a single mom and my son has daycare assistance through the state in which VERY minimal child support I am just starting to receive... Will this affect anything in the visa process? Once fiance is here we will be able to drop out of the assistance as daycare won't be needed and I won't be single anymore :) But for now, will there be issues arising from that?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 Affidavit of Support- Obligations of Co Signer??
My father had said before he'd co sign the I-134 Affidavit of Support. Tonight he brought it up to me and is having issues on signing it because he's wondering EXACTLY what it means to him and EXACTLY what are his obligations. I've been googling it and only coming up with terrible websites making the obligations sound like his signature would place money in the hands of my fiance. We'll be living alone (fiance, myself and my son) and I'm financially stable.

I don't feel like my words are coming out right!?? :wacko:

Okay, example of conversation with father:
He found a site that said divorce does not end the obligations to the immigrant. So then he (dad) turns to me and says if my marriage "god forbid" ends, will he be then solely responsible for the well-being and finances of my fiance??

It's an uncomfortable conversation with my dad and would really love to give him some kind of real life definition of what it means to be a co signer for the I-134!

Thanksss in advance :thumbs:

The fiancee visas are moving much faster than the spousal visas. I filed an I-130 for my husband in September 2013, still waiting for approval. People who filed fiancee visas at the same time have been approved and are in the States already.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNever Met My Fiance

As someone mentioned earlier, why did you apply for a visitor's visa if your purpose of being in the US was for an internship? Did you get denied because you applied for the wrong visa? When you visit the US on a vistor's visa, it's very clear that you cannot work during your visit.

You should try to apply for a visa, and show ties that you plan to return to Pakistan once your visit is finished (a lease, proof of employment, things like that).

with my experience , he can send the stuff by himself to US embassy in your country , he should put on copy of your case number and small note , his name on it, it will arrive before your interview day. It is more safe for his personal information.

If she wants pay this money, tell her: pay by herself , don't fall in her nervous playing. If she has a extra money to pay for this part of the visa let she does. at least lawyers should earn money for their life by this kind people .
Do not pay for her , let she does by herself. The money will be her money by her bank account not yours ,she can decide about it.

If you know her, also you are sure about your love, She can come in U.S from broader like Minnesota or other states as visitor for some day , Then she can marry with you in U.S, after marriage she goes back in  canada, then you apply for marriage visa , also during the processing time , she can come in US to visit you, no trick no fraud will not happen. During processing time you send some money for her to live in canada, she can also work in Canada for part time or..... I don't see no kind problem here.

No issues with your parents.  I do have to ask though because you just moved out and are now renting, have you looked at the income requirement with the form I-134?  If you don

t meet the requirements a co-sponsor may be required.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support - Employer Letter

That letter sounds fine. It is not even required, unless your consulate specifically states they require one. You can use recent pay stubs along with or in place of an employment letter.

 

Thanks Jay-Kay. I am not sure if our consulate requires the letter, but I will send it just in case. I also have recent pay stubs to submit. 

 

Mine didn't say permanent.  All permanent means is that you're not a temporary employee, seasonal, etc.  I think you'll be fine.

 

Thanks ShirahBet. That makes sense, and it is good to hear that yours didn't say permanent and was fine. I will add that I am full-time employee, just so that there is no doubt as to whether I might be a temporary, long-term reserve.
