K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFirst time filling out K1...Help

You can put your present address on the application now. You have every right to change your address at any time. USCIS gives you instructions how to change your address.




Thank you. But would it matter that I put one address on my application as to where I live then put a different one for where my partner plans to live? The reason is because I live at one destination but if and when he comes, we will not live where I live now.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFirst time filling out K1...Help
Hello All,

So I am planning out filling out the application for the first time sometimes next week. The problem is that the address where I live at the moment is not the address I plan on bringing my significant other to. The application asks for my address and the address I intend to bring him to but they are not the same. Would that affect anything with the process?

Even though, I might fill it out sometime next month (maybe) because I am currently unemployed so I know I have to wait until I do so to make the process more legit. We are not married so I am kind of still contemplating if I should do the K1 or the spousal one, which would mean I have to travel to marry first then come back and start the process.

Advice please.....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBest month to submit 129F? Put a long trip together on G325a as residency?
1. Thats not true, if it was I'm sure the USCIS will have posted, like they do with the other visas. Besides the sooner you apply the better no matter what, remember there's a lot of people who are sent REFs or have sent incomplete or wrong info, so their cases are delayed and the other ones are considered first.

2. You can put the bike thing in the space where you explain the circumstances how you met.

Best wishes,
Cuchita

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestranslation of passport stamps and work visa?
I agree, you don't have to translate from the passport, but if you can translate spanish you can translate yourself the work permit, remember this is only the first evidence you are sending, so maybe pictures and phone bills will be enough. There are even people that don't have seen each other and just explain their situation in the form and their visas have been approved.

Good luck
Cuchita

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and have just spent the last hour-plus searching for an answer to my question, but probably because of my unfamiliarity with the forum, haven't been able to find it. So I apologize if this question has already been answered.

Here's the question: when I, the petitioner, submit primary evidence for the I-129F, do I need to translate the stamps on my (American) passport that show entrances to and exits from Ecuador in Spanish? Also, do I need to translate my Ecuadorian work visa (stamped onto a page of my passport and written in Spanish), which constitutes evidence that I have been living and working in my SO's country?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Steve is right!

If he wants a visa he can take care of everything himself, he doesn't need you to make a reservation for him. Be careful with any info you give him, maybe he's a pro in internet scam and even finds out a way to acces your computer! am I too paranoic about it? or is this possible guys?.

Maybe someone can shead some light for me. It has almost 5 months and I still haven't received my NOA2 yet in the mail. The date is coming quick for the adjunct according to my timeline but it seems that everyone is getting theirs so much faster than mine. I keep looking every day in the mail and hoping there is a letter in there and get disappointed when I open it up and find nothing. Maybe it is just me that I am getting so anxious to spend the rest of my life with my soul mate and longer to be with him. It was been over 2 months since I last saw him and we were waiting for the interview to come for the day he can live here permentally and we can get married. He was going to travel for the holidays but decided to save some money for our future and wait for the interview I really hope I get some news soon. I miss my love very much even though we talk everyday on msn and I see his face on webcam but our whole life depends on one little paper. So sorry for babbling just anxious I guess. crying.gif


It's a torture I'm dreading, so understand your frustration. From what I've read, once that NOA2 arrives, it's all systems go especially with the London embassy. Make sure he puts a planned departure date and wedding date when responding to package 3 (I believe it makes a difference to how quickly you get an interview!)

Have you got all your paperwork together for the interview? Can you start planning your wedding at all? Set yourself a different goal to fill the days as you countdown and each week gives you a yay instead of a 'bother, still no news'. For example, my torture right now is waiting to see him again (we can't file yet until my divorce is finalised). This won't be until end of March, so I've decided to concentrate on working out and losing the weight I want to before we get married. I know that we have just under 19 weeks from now and each week that I lose, I feel like I've at least accomplished something! That'll go to hell when Christmas gets here, but still...

Hugs - it's hell but it's nearly over!

He found a job, I am looking at his passport right now.. What does the temporary stamp look like? I see the stamp on the I-94. On the I-94 it says Department of Homeland Security - Customs Admitted on Nov 21 - K1... Is there something more??


The I-94 would also have the work authorization stamp as well if they gave it, with an expiration date of on or about February 19, 2009.


I've never seen the stamp but if you're right, there would be two stamped expiration dates on the I-94. Chances are, if he didn't specifically ask for it, he didn't get it.

1.Here is what you need attached and notarized with the !-134.
http://www.uscis.gov.../form/I-134.pdf

2.Copy of entire I129F you made when you sent the petition

3. All originas of proof you submitted with the I129F (Pics, letters, Tickets, etc)

4. Updated letter affirming ypur desire to marry.

5. Copy of the NOA2 you got in mail.

6. More proof of relationship.

Don't e-mail your HR give them a call, I'm sure they don't bite and can help you getting a letter of employment.

Hello,

I called the DOS @ 1202-663-1225. Give them your case# and they will tell you the interview date (If it is set ahead of time like for the country my fiance is).

Or have her call the Embassy or Consular office to see if they send paperwork to her in order to scheduleinterview.

Try to travel for the interview, that is highly recommended.

Good luck!

I don't think you should cancel the K-1, plus you don't know which way you'll get faster here!.

How long does it take the J-1?.

If j-1 is granted that is only for a job, like people who come with visitor visa, they come visit and then leave and come back with a k-1. Then if you get married while on J-1 you might get punished.

Hope you get help from someone with experience on this.

Shes is afraid because they didn't give her the visa and she thinks the problem is because her fiance said they were married, but if she explained already that it was only a ceremony and is not documented she shouldn't worry. What they need is proof of income, right? so that's the only reason, they need your fiance's taxes and that's it, no big deal!.
