K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWould like your input

Thank you for the replies, YES! we are so much in love with one another and do meet the requirements of a bonafide relationship. We were together for about 3.5 years before we met and it was unfortunately my job working 16 - 18 hours a day kept me from visiting sooner, I found myself temporarily on disability because of the job and with that I took the opportunity to visit. He has just stated his 2 year of studies and wants to continue where he leaves off once he gets to the states and we are settled into our new lives.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWould like your input

I just read the post on the woman who is 40 yrs older than her Nigerian fiance, let me tell you mine. My fiance is Nigerian and we are 24 years apart, we have been together for more then 4 years now. Although he is a Nigerian national he is currently living and going to school in Finland. I went to see him this past December and stayed with him for a month. We filed for a K-1 on May 13, 2013, and received our NOA1 on May 17, 2013, after reading all the post from everyone I was a little disheartened. We have talked at great lengths about the uphill battle that we are facing because he is from Nigeria. I plan on attending the interview when we get to that step and if for some reason it does not go our way I will be flying to Finland and we will marry and file for the CR-1 and he will continue attending school. 

 

One of the questions I have is, now that he is in Finland does that play to our favor, since it is not about getting out of Nigeria, "high risk country".  I would appreciate as much input and advise that you can give.

 

Thank you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting paperwork together

We were just approved with our NOA2 on 10/1/13, and I am starting to put together the necessary paperwork everyone suggest to work on. I read on another thread that as of 9/1/13 the DS230 needs to be electronically filed with NVC. Another question is, has the I-134 be replaced with form I-864. I am following step by step guidline to the letter but is there anyother information that I need. Thank you for your help.

Hello Everyone,

I'am reposting this because I didn't not get any replies, but I really need everyones help. We received our police certificate in less than a week for Finland but if we have to get one from Nigeria I don't know what we are going to do.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed your help!

We received our NOA2 on October 1 and we are getting together our paperwork but I have a question about the police certificate.

I have read that you need a police certificate from every place you have lived for more then 6 months since the age of 16.

 

My fiance is living in Finland and has lived there for 13 months now, we have already applied for that one, but he is a Nigerian national and has lived there up intil he went to Finland. He tells me that they don't really keep any kinds of records like that and now that he is not there how would he go about getting one.

 

I would really appreciate any advise in this matter

 

Thank you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures2 questions I need help with

Well here is a twist, my fiance is in Finland going to school there, he is a Nigerian national so this might change things. The only other thing I can think of is to get a co-sponsor such as my mom but my mom is 85 years old but has $$.  mad.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures2 questions I need help with

I started in March, 2013, but my check stubs clearly states my hourly wage, month to date earnings, year to date earnings. I am well above the poverty level even at this stage, I do not understand what the big deal is with the company I work for. I was even thinking about getting all my check stubs, statement notarized if necessary 


solubodeFemaleFinland2013-11-15 20:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures2 questions I need help with

I need help with two issues:

 

1.  We received our case # on 11/4 from NVC. I have been calling everyday to see if the file has left on its way to Finland and it has been "no". Today the lady told me that it is going through necessary administrative process and I asked her if this was normal for everyone and her reply  was yes. Is this true, and I was told the case does not stay at NVC much after the case # had been issued. Is there a typical time frame that they hold on to a file?

 

2.  I am getting the paperwork ready for when package 3 arrives and on the I-134 they want a letter of employment, but that is my issue. I just got an email from our HR department, and they told me that it was company policy that do not do "letters of employment". I have check stubs, my bank statements showing direct deposit from my employment and I can even print out the email of them refusing the VOE. They said that the embassy can call our verification number and send a form with my signature and dated and supply a fax number and they will send something that "yes" I work there. Please any advice I can get will be greatly appreciated

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen will my fiance receive package 3

Hi I received a letter that my fiance's case will now be processed at the embassy of Kabul, Afghanistan on May 2, 2013. He has not yet received a phone call from them or packet 3. Can I contact someone to find out what forms he will need, if so please tell me who I should contact. Does anyone know what forms and documents he will need at the interview? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Its for the I-129F

Now that the visa has been issued, my question now is how long does it take to deliver it to Cargo Expreso? I put the passport number on ustraveldocs and it comes up no info.


I don't know my husband picked his up at the embassy they told him what day to go.

Congratulations, Al3jandro89, have a happy marriage.

My husband had his medical done and the doctor (a different doctor attended him) told that we get to hear from the embassy within 15 days. If not, we got to contact them. I hope this is the final step because I'm so fed up with waiting. I miss my husband sooooo much and some days, I cry like I've been heartbroken. I feel so exhausted because he is not here to take care of our son. My god, why the embassy can't see how much I need him and that him being here will solve a lot of problems. I'm done complaining. I post when there's something new.


The wait is almost over keep being positive you have come a long way soon he will be with you and your son. This process can be so draining but it will be over keep strong winky. Contact embassy in 15 days if you don't hear from them.

Bumping again for anyone who read my posts.

Still waiting after 5 months but my husband will undergo another medical on November 7. My guess would be that his visa will be issued after this and even the doctor who attended my husband before said the same thing. Let's hope so because this is way too much and I'll wait contacting the embassy. Good luck to others who are still stuck.


Im sure it will be issued after he sends the new medicals keep us updated

Do you think the gov't shutdown is slowing things down at the embassy? Wednesday will be 9 weeks since my fiancé's interview. They didn't ask for any more papers, just need to investigate more... today makes 61 days, but 60 working days won't be until Nov. 6th... we have had no updates since Sept 19th when I emailed them. anyone have a similar timeline for a fiancé visa? so anxious :(
 


The shutdown is not affecting yet its working days only not counting holidays either i don't know about fiance visa we are ir1 it took 87 working days for us from date they received the documents.
