K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurespleeeeeeeease help
I have the older version of form 134 (2007) duly signed and notorized by the official in usa. This was prepared by my lawyer. The DOS states that older versions are acceptable.
I didnt want any hassles for the interview and therefore insisted that my husband make the new version of form 134 ( made in oct 2008) but when it reached me today I noticed that it was not notorized as there was no place for notorization. Is that what everyone is facing. I am really worried abt what I should do. Is the new version correct without notorization. Or should I submit the older version.
Someone please answer I am really worried coz I have to submit my papers at vfs on Monday.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurespacket 4 at vfs
today i had been to vfs to submit my documents. i had arranged everything mentioned including the proof of relationship. i took out all my papers to submit at the counter but the lady there only took my passport copy,appointment letter copy, birth certificate, marriage certificate, pcc and medical report. i told her to accept the proof of relationship as well as the affidavit of support but she said that she is supposed to accept only what she has taken. i again requested her to take the form 134 but she would not. she said that i should carry it for the interview.

will it affect my visa if she didnt accept the form 134 and proof of relationship at vfs. i have all my things ready. do you think i should resubmit it or should i just take the rest of the papers to the interview which is at mumbai consulate.

we had sent a letter requesting the consulate to allow my husband to join me for the interview but they said that it would not be possible. what a way to celebrate my birthday.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionvisa approved
I am a little late in writing this. I had my k3 interview at mumbai on 10th feb 2009. my husband had flown down for my interview. We reached the consulate at 6:45 am. They took me in at 7:30 am. My husband (US citizen )was not allowed in. I had my fingerprints taken and then we were called to the counters where the Indian officer gave me back my original marriage and birth certificate. They retained the copies and the original pcc. Then I had to wait till 10 am for my interview with the American officer. She was polite and asked me few questions
How did you meet?
What does he do?
How long has he been staying there?
Where did he study?
Who all are there in his family?
What does his brother do?

Then she said the long awaited golden words VISA APPROVED and it will be couriered to you. I wanted to collect it at vfs. So she said that I could try but they do not guarantee same day delivery of visa

Now this is a different journey. I went to vfs in the evening but my visa was not there. They said to come and see the next day. I went the next day too but still no passport. I was all sad and doubted whether there was some problem. We rung up DOS and they said interview under review. That was it. I was very upset. We decided to go the consulate the next day. At the inquiry counter we explained our problem to the officer. She asked me to wait for 7 business days but the I said that its two days since the interview and that I had already booked my tickets for the 18th feb. then she punched some numbers and talked to someone. This wait was even worst than the interview. She then told me that there was some system error and so my visa could not get printed. She took my phone number and asked me to come on Tuesday to collect the visa. She asked to go confirm my plans to fly on the 18th feb. some relief.
Same day at 11:30 am I get a call to come back to the consulate for repeat fingerprints. We rushed there. They took me in and retook my fingerprints. I have very faint fingerprints and so they couldn’t process it that was the reason why my visa was delayed. They then asked me to wait for sometime in the consulate. After abt 20 minutes the officer told me that my visa was ready and I should collect it from vfs today itself.

All in all it was a good experience. The mumbai consulate really works well. except for the delay in getting the passport there was no other problem. But even fro the passport delay there promptly cleared it when informed.

Thanks to all the VJ members who helped me through this. All the best to all of you

[quote name='Deep2009' date='22 May 2010 - 03:17 AM' timestamp='1274478439' post='3952249']
W2 form - This form is only for how much her employer will deduct taxes from her salary.
The preferences on W2 has nothing to do with her status of married/single.
Most of the people will put single and when they file tax returns, they will get big check from IRS.

What is LPR?
LPR-legal permannent resident, i am aware about what u wrote about people getting good amount from the irs,as she will be filing up the i864 which in return requires her to attach her last few years tax papers,ARE U SURE DEEP THAT IT WILL NOT AFFECT IT?


btw where u from in india? i am from bombay...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsProof of ongoing relationship post filing of K1

Hi All,

 

Need you help to prepare for the proof of ongoing relationship post filing of K1,

 

We filled in end of May 2013 and have not meet personally after that and I have read that we will need proof since we filled so can we can use the below.

 

Proof of an ongoing relationship: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate letters and emails, stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present.

 

We may have a few record of phone conversation here and there but not much cause we use BBM and meet on skype on a daily basis will these

be ok to provide as proof if yes can we take screenshots of BBM and a dump of chat history from skype, has any one used this in Mumbai.

 

Please share your experience.

 

Thanks!
