K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Its been almost two weeks and he has'nt been notified	I looked on the US embassy, Havana website and could not find any email addresses. They only had a phone number and fax number. Maybe if you have assess to a fax machine, write them a letter and fax it. Maybe someone else can help you more.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	IMBRA-could it be?	The consulars may not understand the IMBRA requirements. Get on the phone!!! Make them understand it is petitions submitted after March 6th. Not noa2's after march 6th. Good Gosh, how hard is it to educate their own government employees about this new law. Good luck, Meriem	Meriem_DZ	Female	Algeria	2006-06-12 11:43:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visa Appointment Cancelled at the last minute :-(	WhooooHooooo!!!! Congratulations, nearlythere!!!! Meriem	Meriem_DZ	Female	Algeria	2006-06-15 17:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visa Appointment Cancelled at the last minute :-(	At least you got a response-it does appear from your noa dates that you would be affected by IMBRA. Our case on the other hand-should not be. I called & they told me to ring them back on Thurs(guess I will be getting up at 4:30 am). I also called USCIS(as I was told to do by NVC) the woman told me that IMBRA does NOT have anything to do with fiance visas-can you imagine?? I said "it specifically deals with K-1 visas" she was clueless. Very scary she then told me if our petition was sent back in error-I would have to write a letter to VSC I am going to call the embassy back on Thursday & see what happens. Our case shouldn't have been sent back for IMBRA & if it was I will make sure it is sent back(I will call all day everyday). I just think everyone should stay on top of their cases & make sure that even more mistakes aren't made. Good luck everyone! I think I quoted my NOA1 date incorrectly...it's the "receipt date" that is relevant??? In our case it's Jan 11th 2006. March 13th was the date the NOA1 was issued. I tried updating that "My Timeline" link but hadn't much success. Will try it again. Best of luck, let us know how thursday goes. Do you mean you got your NOA2 on March 13? Your should have recieved your first notice, NOA1, two or three weeks after uscis received you petition in January. More like my timeline. We sent ours in on Jan 10th.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-129f finally sent to California	First of all congratulations waitingincolo. I am so glad your petition is finally going where it is supposed to be. Hope the rest of your journey is a smooth and quick!!! Ok, now for my soap box opinion. I have seen it over and over. Expecially with new people not familiar with this site. Members screaming at them to read the guides. You know if these questions gets on your nerves and all you can rudely say is, "Read the guides" then dont reply. Easy enough. The way I do things, If I cant say anything to help, I dont post. And if all I can do is give encouragement, I will do it. If i can help I will be glad to share my experience. The ones that replies to posts by telling OP's to read the guides are so negative in my book. Now stepping off soap box. Meriem	Meriem_DZ	Female	Algeria	2006-06-29 08:47:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	MY apologies	Vicki, What happened to you guys is very traumatic. I cant imagine what I would do in the same situation. It just breaks my heart everytime I read bad news. It is just a shame how the government can do the things they do to some couples. I want to say to you, I hope everything works out for you. I will pray your situation is resolved soon. Meriem Edited by Meriem_setif, 15 July 2006 - 08:44 AM.	Meriem_DZ	Female	Algeria	2006-07-15 08:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K2 and issues of health ..	I will tell you what happened to us. My fiance has a mild chronic medical disease and he takes daily medication. When he went to the medical exam, he told the Doctor about it. She wanted to see his medical records. And wanted him to have some test. He went home and made an appointment with his Doctor and had the test The Dr gave him his medical records and a explaination of his condition. He went back to the immigration Doctor gave her the medical records. We had no problems. So, what I am saying is to get all his medical records before you go for the Immigration Medical exam.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Its our visa almost ready??	Ok my bad to tell you the truth i dont understand none of the packet 3 or 4 all i know its that she got the consulates package with all this stuff in it(packet 3/4??) wich gives her directions of doctors they specify to go to for the medical exams, they also say how much she is going to get charge for each service wich its mainly vaccines and xrays,they also ask to bring proof that she has paid 100 dls to some bank and to bring that proof the day of the interview wich is the 19th of october,plus some other stuf they need like my birth cirtificate,pictures of us togueter etc, so to me this means theres no more packets afther this,cause as far as i can understand if all this goes ok then she should have her visa the same day or next day. That is packet 3. After you submit that packet, she will get another packet (4), which has the interview date in it. Not all embassies work the same way. For example, the embassy in Algiers sends out packet 3. You call them when have everything done and they give you a date over the phone, which in our case was 6 days laters. Not all embassies use pkt 4. Meriem Edited by Meriem_setif, 11 September 2006 - 07:48 AM.	Meriem_DZ	Female	Algeria	2006-09-11 07:46:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	would it help to explain the age difference in the initial application??	I am 13 years older than my husband. I never mentioned the age difference anywhere. I did not want to draw attention to it. He was prepared to address it at the consulate level if asked. No one said anything about the age difference, in fact he was not even asked one question by the consulate officer about anything. Our evidence did the talking. Good luck.
