K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List


+ Always send in the LONG version of the birth certificate (USC) - not the short one. If you only happen to have the short one, include copies of ALL pages of the passport of the US citizen.


That may be excellent advice for some situations, but not "always". In our case, we went through the whole process without ever sending in the USC's birth certificate at all (we used the passport to provide proof of citizenship). Also, some places issue only one form of birth certificate, so there's not always a distinction between "long form" and "short form". Just telling folks they have to file the "long form" may be more confusing than helpful if there is no "long form" option in their place of birth. Finally, some USC's were born abroad, so they don't have the option of using the birth certificate to provide proof of citizenship.


So wait... I'm just starting this process. I'm from Minnesota, and I'm not sure we have 2 forms of the birth certificate. The one I've got has my parents' names on it, and my name, and where, etc. but not a lot of other info. What's required?
Thanks all

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWife did not make it past homeland and got k-1 cancelled
I'm sorry this happened to you. I think RebeccaJo gave good advice and you should contact the lawyer she mentions.

I, too, was questioned as I entered on a K1. It was pretty terrifying because they were asking me things like, where was my mother in law and father in law were born (in what city (they were born in the Philippines and I didn't know the cities), and other random trivia from inside my K1 package. I wasn't expecting it and was already a bit shaken up from saying good bye to my Mother. They eventually were satisfied with my answers and let me through and went through all my bags.

For someone who doesn't understand english well, I'm sure questioning like that could go very wrong. They may have asked her about your parents or address or simple things like that and she didn't understand them.

Please please contact a good US immigration lawyer to help you.

I don't know. Seems simple to me. I'd rather keep my $1800 and track my own progress.


$1800 isn't bad... compare to nyc is $5000 when i requested a quote. i thought it was just a $100 to get a lawyer to do paperwork in nyc. but they were advertising in chinese and picking on people that aren't capable of self-education. i figured they were targeting that population. but i just file on my own at the end.

I have no idea what that means. You might want to clarify.


this gives the lawyer to something to worry about because it scratches their record on the bar association side. that is if successful. i would say it is the equivalent feeling of someone having a lawsuit on you. its more of an attack from a psychological point.


You might want to go to the VJ guides and read how to do it yourself. Why spend time researching lawyers instead of spending time educating yourself on a process that is going to be a major part of everything you do for the next four years (minimum)? :wacko:

This process is like climbing a mountain and hiring an attorney to leave you alone after the first step with the rest of the mountain to climb is ridiculous.


i totally agree with her... you can vent your frustration by educating yourself or haunt your bad lawyer.
i vent my waiting-frustration by calling uscis every day. last week i was feeling really down because i could have went sky diving with my wife at new jersey or have a dinner around columbus circle. :crying: at least i get my money worth it.

the output of the action is not favorable but the process of the action may be more valuable.

that is giving the lawyer more work.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow Do I Cancel I-129F Appliation Process

I doubt it. All relationships are difficult. Adding an ocean to the equation just makes it that much harder!


adding uscis is just stupid! i am almost 5months on background check with clean records as a couple. then you have idiots hiring other idiots reading scripts on the phone. if this was my job, i find it very de-meaningful and i would shoot myself on the head. then you have the so claim smartest person running uscis when they spent millions of tax dollars on a call centers versus adjudicators. where is the cost benefit analysis? then they outsource the filing operations and it is even slower than usual. this just creates unnecessary overheads or providing a cash-line for the rich.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAre Bar Girls Disqualified From Getting a Visa?

The USCIS only knows what you tell them... And, trust me, people only tell the USCIS what they want them to know.
Honestly, unless there is a "reason" for you to tell the USCIS that your gal is a "bar girl," and I have no idea what that reason might be for you to tell the USCIS that you gal is a "bar girl,"don't do it!
Best of luck,
Sid


you don't need to tell uscis how you meet, you just need evidence of relationship. however you will be asked how you meet at the embassy!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI got scammed the biggest scam of my life

if you decide to stay with her -

you can host a wedding party, not registered with the governement, and still have her come here on k1 visa.

 

if you decide not to stay with her -

just write to embassy and immigration to null her visa

 

imo, you are not fit to marry her at all ! you did not take your time to understand the chinese customs. it just seems like both are incompatible in the long term.

if you really love her, go live in china for a year and learn about chinese customs! not just using chopsticks and eating chinese takeouts.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMiscarriage/spontaneous abortion from the past can affect interview??
I don't believe that USCIS has the right do disclose her medical information at an interview due to the The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). And if she were to seek any medical treatment in the USA she has the right to privacy, even from her husband unless she signs permission for him to know.
It's up to the OP to decide to tell him.

hi everybody on visa journey

 

i have a question from you guys i have a friend her husband had interview in afghanistan , but first on the interview he said they are not first cousins and they took his passport and after some investigation they found they they are first couisins and now the embassy returned his passport but did not give him the visa yet what is your sugestion for him  he is so depressed now , will he get the visa or his fiancee should get a lawyer ,i know the state his fiance lives allowed first cousins marriage i dont know why they lied .

 

He lied to Immigration under oath, I doubt he will be getting a visa anytime soon.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo you think we could be approved??

 

Just the fact that he's still a student and will be for the next 4 years of college/grad school 

His parents meet the financial requirements and will be cosponsors but I dont know ghow the USCIS or the consulate behaves when it comes to the pettioner being a student. If anyone does feel free to comment smile.png

 

As for religion, no he's not a muslim but that has never been an issue in our case 

 

 

 

 

 

It's not an issue for you and your fiance, however, it could be an issue to the CO. It's not common in Morocco for a female to marry outside of her religion. You would want to be prepared with supporting documents (i.e.,letters from both sides of the families supporting/acknowledging your relationship).
