Mexico, Latin & South AmericaLatin american names and filling our forms
Hi all... I had this posted in the general discussion until someone was kind enough to point me to this forum...

My fiance is from Colombia. I am confused about their names and what to put down as their first name and last name. My fience has a first name and two last names. Her first last name is her fathers last name and her second last name is her mothers last name. It is my understanding that when she comes to America her mothers last name will be dropped. Now her children have two first names and two last names. It is my understanding that there is no middle last name as we know it here in America.

I paid Bob at Colombian Services to complete the papers for my fiance in Bogota and I have received her G-325A from him.

Under the "Family" name section of the I-129F, Bob wrote her fathers last name in capitals and in the same box also wrote her mothers last name in both upper and lower case. When I try to do this on the electronic version of the I-129F, it will only accept capitals.

Do I write both of her last names in capitals or do I leave this section blank and write it in following the same structure that bob used on her G-325A with black ink?

On the I-129F it asks for her childern's names in the format, (Name First/Middle/Last). I can not fit all of their two first names and two last names in this section and I was trying to avoid sending another "attachment document".

What if I simply write in smaller letters their names with black ink?
Do I write (First First/LAST Last)?

Now the visa pictures and "together" pictures...
I may have totally messed up here but would rather ask now that to get something rejected. I wrote on the back of the visa pictures only her Fathers last name in capitals and her first name in upper and lower case. I am now thinking I should have put both of her last names in the format that Bob used on the G-325A. (LAST Last, First).

Can I use white out and re write this?
Should I just draw a line through my mistake and write the correction below it?
Should i have her go take more visa photos and pay fifty bucks to have them shipped to me again?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks, Stateside

La Embajada de Bogotá tiene el DS-156 (.pdf) en línea para usted para llenar e imprimir. La forma está en el español y luego tiene un incorporado traductor que lo traduce en el inglés antes de que usted lo imprima. No hay ninguna opción para imprimir este en español.

El banco en Bogotá no aceptará una forma DS-156 en inglés.

¿Cómo nos ponemos alrededor de este problema?

Algo que me ayuda bastante para aprender el idioma es ver todas las peliculas en ingles y los subtitulos en ingles,asi se educa el oido,y se aprenden nuevas palabras,y la pronunciacion,hago el mismo ejercicio con las canciones,por que yo escuchaba un par de emisoras de Colombia a traves de la internet,y con dos o tres dias escuchando musica en español,me pude dar cuenta que el oido se desacostumbra bastante,ahora lo que hago es escuchar la musica en ingles y bajar la letra ,eso me ha ayudado,bueno y desde luego las clases,pero es bien dificil aprender ingles con una mexico-americana.

Hola pues no se si la opinion mia tambien cuente pero,es lo mismo que me ha pasado desde que llegue aqui,mi hija mayor se quedo por que no podiamos incluir al bebe(mi nieto) en el proceso,yvarios de mis dolores de cabeza y preocupacion se debieron a eso precisamente,yo la llamaba a diario,para saber del niño y de ella ,y ella empezaba con la quejadera que no tenia para esto,ni para lo otro,que debia pagar el arriendo,que no tenia,que el niño no podia volver al jardin,ellos saber perfectamente que yo no trabajo,de donde saca una,pues decidi no volver a llamar,por un buen tiempo estoy desconectada de ellos,por que ellos creen que el solo echo de pisar suelo norteamericano lo convierte a una en millonario,es mi humilde opinion.

gracias a todas las personas que me dan su voz de aliento,martesa yo tambien levante tres hijos la mayor parte del tiempo sola por que el papa de mis hijos no fue la gran ayuda ,por ellos trate de soportar los 14 años de malmatrimonio,pero para mantener una familia unida se necesita mas que buenas intenciones,y amor con hambre y mal trato de toda indole ,no dura mucho.En fin ahora estoy tratando de hacer lo mejor por ellos y tambien disfrutar de amor y buen trato,este sitio es excelente por que por lo menos una se puede desahogar,ya que mi familia en Bogota no es de gran apoyo y tristemente diria yo,que mi compromiso fue un alivio para ellos,y el salir de Colombia y establecerme aqui les dio un respiro,lamentablemente le entregue 10 años de mi vida a una entidad del gobierno (ICFES)para ser mas especifica,y sali sin absolutamente nada,para mi familia mis hijos y yo eramos mas una carga que un motivo de felicidad,en fin,cuando recien llegue a Dallas,llamaba a mi mama todos los dias y le contaba como me sentia ,le contaba del cambio cultural y que me habia enfermado por el cambio supongo clima,comida etc,y ella me dijo muy cortesmente pero a la vez energica:Adriana recuerde que aca en Bogota usted no tiene nada".Conclusion si le va bien o mal tendra que sobrevivir alla,desde luego me dijo espero que todo le vaya bien;y de repeso me dice"procure no enfermarse,ni ponerse triste por su nieto y si no su esposo se va a cansar de usted y ahi si,usted que va a hacer,recuerde que aqui no tiene nada.Ustedes son muy comprensivas(os),y es por eso que me atrevo a contar esto,gracias a DIOS encontre un buen hombre que me ama y realmente esta demostrandomelo al cuidar de mi y de mis hijos,no es facil asumir esa tarea con hijos ajenos y adolescentes;yo admiro a mi esposo pues el esto lo asumio consciente de la carga que significamos tres personas mas,nuevamente gracias por el apoyo,creo que los tendre ya cansados con tanto drama.

On April 7, 2008 the embassy called and said she has an interview scheduled on may 2. They also told her to come and pick up the packet 4 on thursday. Guess they gave up on the mail system...

After not receiving our packet 3, we went ahead and started gathering the required documents. I did however call the embassy and inform them that now... two packets had been lost in the mail. The embassy said that on Tuesday and thursdays, at 12:30 my fience could go to the embassy and tell the guard that she was there to pick up a packet 3. The guard would verify her BGT number and then grant her access.
My fience is not patient at all... And this is an understatement to say the least! I am so glad that she has constantly been persistient in this matter. She want's to come home!
My fience went as requested to the embassy but she also took all of her documents for the packet three.
She was let in to pick up her packet and also explained to the lady waiting on her that she had all of the documents completed and with her. The lady asked to examine the documents and after examination handed my fience a recipt stating all documents received and told her she would not need packet three and that she would have packet four within 4-6 weeks.
WooHoo... you go baby girl.

Hey all,
My fiancé lives in Bogotá with her teen age son and daughter.
We have the BOG number issued by the embassy. The Embassy sent me an e-mail today and said they would send out pack 3 again... dry.gif
We are not going to wait any longer. ClockWatch2.gif
Today she started gathering her required documents.
My fiancé spent all day today getting her passports, and on her way home she is going to go to one more place and get the required 6 photos of each person.
Tomorrow she has scheduled vaccinations and she is also going to get a legible copy of all vaccinations.
Monday she is going to DAS for her paperwork there.
I think this will only leave us a few pieces of paper to fill out. She has mentioned that some of the questions on the papers are a little confusing to her. Is there a guide for filling out these papers she might draw some wisdom from?

Best regards,

Try to take the shortcuts listed in the Colombian thread since many beneficiaries don't get either packets 3 nor 4 since the Colombian mail system is extremely horrible.

Hi Diana,
I keep seeing places where everyone says to take the shortcuts, but they seem to be either not obvious to me or they are hiding from me...
could you elaborate on them please??? whistling.gif

Could these shortcuts simply be refering to where i am reading to go ahead and get the papers completed... then fax and deliver to the embasy via carrier???

My fiancé has a copy of another of our friends k-3 package 3 from back in December. I know what his package says he needed for his k-3 but i am not sure of what the difference might be between his K-3 package 3 and our K-1 package 3.

I have a copy of my friend's package from his interview in Bogota a few weeks ago and I know what was in his K-3 package. Is the K-1 package the same? Can I just go by what his package said was required and send that through courier and fax to the embasy?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionG325a maiden name verses married name
Do we put her social security number on the g325a if it is still in her maiden name, or should we leave it blank?

In the "This form is submitted in connection with an application for?" What do we put here?

Do we both submit a form g325a or only my K-1 wife?
Do we fill out a g325a for each of her children also?


If she wants to use her new married name for everything, then you will use her married name on all immigration paperwork from now on.

If she chooses to keep her maiden name, then that's the name she will use.

Your marriage certificate will show why her name changed if she chooses to use her new married name.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionG325a maiden name verses married name
We are filling out the G325a form (and others) and my question is..
Which last name do we use?
K-1 Visa and we married within 90 days.
Her passport has her maiden name.
Her social security card has her maiden name. We went to the social security office after getting married with a copy of marrige license and they told us they could not make the change to her new last name because by the time the papers came back her visa would be expired. She is currently considered out of status which I understand is ok as long as she does not leave the country. We will have to go back to social security office after we get a green card.
I called USCIS and asked them this question and they said we could list her new last name on the application. ?????
We have a joint bank account with her new last name for reference documents.
The marrige license shows her maiden name as the one i am marrying but there is nothing that states she has taken a new last name.
Obviously i want her green card to be in her new name... and i also don't want paperwork getting kicked back to us from uscis.

Anyone with similar experience?

Thanks...

US Citizenship General DiscussionFiling n-400 for me and my children

I am in the process of filing for citizenship for myself (K1)  now married and having lived with my husband for 5 years. We have our 10 year green cards. My children are 19 and 21. In the N-400 application I will list all of my children. I have two that live with me in the US and came over with me in the fiance visa process. I also have one daughter who is married with children still living in Colombia. I know that I will list all three of my children on the N-400.

 

The N-400 instructions are a little confusing regarding years as a perminent resident in my situation. I meet the three year requirement as my husband is a us citizen and I have had my perminent residency since 2010.

 

My questions...

Will my children be covered under my N-400?

Fees?

If my children are not covered under my N-400 will they have to wait to meet the 5 year residency?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOriginal Statements of intent to marry Questions
I am starting the K-1 process for my novia who lives in Colombia. I downloaded the example of the "Original Statement of intent to marry" but I am confused about how to fill it out. I understand that I need one filled out by me and one filled out by my girlfriend. When this example was created it appears to have been made as an example of both "from me and from her" and I know there will be different information contained on mine verses hers. What parts do I enclude on mine and what parts do I eliminate on mine? What parts do I keep on hers and what parts do I eliminate on hers? I understand that the form was designed for me to replace the words in red with my or her information.
For example...
(petitioner’s / beneficiary’s address)
This is for my info on mine and her info on hers.
(USCIS service center address)
This is for the service center here in Texas where I live, correct? Do I enter the same info for the Texas service center on both?
or when submitting for interview
What goes here? Is this only for her copy or for both?
[name of country where Embassy is located]
I will enter here (Colombia)
[Embassy Address]
I will enter here the address of the US embasy in Colombia here
(date mm-dd-yyyy)
I will enter the date here for when we both sign this document. Is this a time sensative date? Do I have a time limit from this date to mail?
(applicant’s or beneficiary’s name)
My name on mine and her name on hers.
(petitioner’s or beneficiary’s name)
Her name on mine and my name on hers.
The next sentence looks like it should be edited but for some reason it is not red like the other parts that are obviously to be changed.
and intend to do so within 90 days of my arrival into the US using the K-1 visa.
Should the word my remain (my)on hers but be changed to (her) on this line of text?

Any halp from those of you that are past this part, please advise or sned me some examples please.
Best Regards...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresColombian Names and filling out I-129F and G-325A
Hi all...
My fiance is from Colombia. I am confused about their names and what to put down as their first name and last name. My fience has a first name and two last names. Her first last name is her fathers last name and her second last name is her mothers last name. It is my understanding that when she comes to America her mothers last name will be dropped. Now her children have two first names and two last names. It is my understanding that there is no middle last name as we know it here in America.

I paid Bob at Colombian Services to complete the papers for my fiance in Bogota and I have received her G-325A from him.

Under the "Family" name section of the I-129F, Bob wrote her fathers last name in capitals and in the same box also wrote her mothers last name in both upper and lower case. When I try to do this on the electronic version of the I-129F, it will only accept capitals.

Do I write both of her last names in capitals or do I leave this section blank and write it in following the same structure that bob used on her G-325A with black ink?

On the I-129F it asks for her childern's names in the format, (Name First/Middle/Last). I can not fit all of their two first names and two last names in this section and I was trying to avoid sending another "attachment document".

What if I simply write in smaller letters their names with black ink?
Do I write (First First/LAST Last)?

Now the visa pictures and "together" pictures...
I may have totally messed up here but would rather ask now that to get something rejected. I wrote on the back of the visa pictures only her Fathers last name in capitals and her first name in upper and lower case. I am now thinking I should have put both of her last names in the format that Bob used on the G-325A. (LAST Last, First).

Can I use white out and re write this?
Should I just draw a line through my mistake and write the correction below it?
Should i have her go take more visa photos and pay fifty bucks to have them shipped to me again?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks, Stateside

Do you still have a copy of packet 3? The consulate sent us ours but we never got it... They are supposed to send another but who knows...
We have not been waiting for the packet however, it would be nice to know what the latest required information was...
Thanks,
