K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOMG I'm going to send out my fiance's K1 tomorrow

I've got bank statements showing the purchase of my tickets for the past 2 years traveling ....I have the itineraries, photos, webcam print screens, facebook print screens, conversation histories sprint screens showing the amount of conversation history i have witth him compared to anyone else, I've got google voice call print screens,and regular conversation print screens.

The above items proof really nothing. You need passport stamps, boarding passes and pictures of you together. If you have bank statements proving transactions at the place you visited together, better. The rest proves the opposite: that you have been in opposite places and you;ve established communication. That is only to be used for the interview at the embassy. It doesn't hurt to send it, but is NOT proof you've personally met within the last 2 years. Remember, travel itineraries do not prove you got on an airplane. Purchase of tickets do not even prove the tickets were for you. I have purchased tickets for my parents, for example. Luggage tags, boarding passes, passport stamps and bank statements proving ATM transactions at the city and country are the BEST proof you can send.
Good luck!




THANKS, I do have pics and my name is on the itineraries sooo that does show I, Ro was on that flight along with passport stamps with the same dates.....and didn't use my credit card but once ever in Guyana.

Thanks so much :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOMG I'm going to send out my fiance's K1 tomorrow

I sent in 2 passport photos for each of us. Total of 4.



Thanks for your feedback!

If you have copies of boarding passes for your flights these are better than itineraries or ticket receipts as they prove that you actually boarded the plane.

(Also keep a copy of the full pack, just in case)



ahh ghee i dont have those but great idea, I think i have enough evidence :) 60+ pages in the packet

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit od Support i-134
SO here is the dealio, I just graduated college last year. worked part time for no significant income from the summer to December. My dad actually claimed me on his taxes for last year and So i have no means of personally showing I can support my fiance.

Can my friend do it, he makes just over 35 K and only has himself on his taxes.


Thnx alot guys!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAOS poverty guideline passed?

1. Your friends income is definitely sufficient to be a cosponsor.
2. Since it is your future wife and you are the petitioner, you have to submit records of your income and if your father claimed you then I would say you have to submit that information.
Just a suggestion - would it not be easier to get your dad to be your cosponsor??



Thanks, i guess more information is better than less and to get a request for hold up of any sort....ammmm my dad doesnt yet know of the marriage (lol?) ammm my mom is the only one that knows as of now.

will tell the family after its been approved. and thats future husband hehe (im a she) lol

32K is enough for 2 people to be above 125% of the establish poverty level.



Thnx just wanted to confirm my readings with other persons experience :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAOS poverty guideline passed?
Hi everyone,

Hope u all are well.


So i just graduated college...omg i didnt just graduate, Im lying its been a year (lol )and I dont have anything near sufficient income for the AOS for my fiance on record [ because i dont pay taxes ]

My father claimed me last year and the job at which i did pay taxes earned about $2500.... If i have to file jointly with my friend would i have to submit my dads taxes too showing that he claimed me?

My friend is going to do it and makes 32K a year, he only supports himself. Does that income pass the poverty guideline?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStupid G-325A question

Yes, the G-325A is only one page ( two including instructions)

haha, i lef that question blank too and my fiance picked it up when he was final checking, he just got a black pen and wrote in NA for me and that was fine, we got our NOA2 with no RFE or anything :)



Hi, I was looking at your time line and just have a question about the police clearance..... would I, the petitioner in the us need to submit that via US mail to a lockbox int he US or does my fiance need that for himself at the interview??


Good luck to you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F whats after the NOA2
Hey Vjers!

How are ya? hope you all at having a great weekend!!


Just a quick question, is there any documents that I need to send my fiance in the foreign country? I know that I'll send him the enter duplicate of the first sent out package with evidence of our relationship etc....but are there anymore forms proceeding that I'll have to have notarized and send it to him for the interview or anything that needs to be notarized here in the US in general. Does he need to have passport pics of me?

I really just want to be on top of things before they ask for it, because mail from the US to Guyana might take a bit and my brother will be going to Guyana next Saturday so I really just want to send allllllll needed docs then... so please assist me if you can.

My fiance is a police in Guyana so wont need any probs getting a police clearance but when do we need that? Is that for his interview?

Here are the things ill be sending:

the entire i-129f package sent in initially (duplicate)
i-134 for me the petitioner (Is this the right AOS for me)
the i-134 affidavit of support of my friend( who will be the co-sponsor)


FYI I just say that the check was cashed yesterday :) Havent gotten my NOA1 hard copy yet....


-_-

Thanks,
RO

Are you really going to rely on that person's income to help out with your fiance? or just for the record?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRcved NOA2. marry within 90 days???

I have received the NOA2. On the letter, it indicates that my fiance and I have to get married within 90 days. Is it 90 days from the day my fiance enters the country or from the NOA2 letter date? For example if I received the NOA2 on july 1 and my fiance comes to USA on dec. 1, we have 90 days from dec. 1st?




Yes indeed! thats the time frame, good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi-134

You are the petitioner and petitioned for your fiance, not the co-sponsor. Have they ever filed a petition for someone to get a visa in the past? If not, then the answer is 'None'

You are the petitioner and primary sponsor. You must fill out your own I-134, as does your co-sponsor.



I kno that Im the petitioner and that I petitioned for him. I have filed for my mother which is in final stages of the NVC now....my uncle was the joint sponsor.


thanks for your help!!!
Ro DamonFemaleGuyana2011-07-21 16:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi-134

You'll have to ask your co-sponsor if he/she has ever petitioned anybody before to answer that question. You are your fiance's present petitioner not the co-sponsor. If the co-sponsor is married and has children whom depend on him/her then they would answer question 8.

Are you K1 or AOS stage? I-134 is for K1 and I-864 is for AOS. Yes, you and your co-sponsor both fill out the same forms.


yes i am at the K1 stage. He dont have any kids or havent ever sponsored anyone...

but quick question, being that I'm not "working" does it look bad or make it worse for the process to go normal. would they thing my fiance would be a burden and need public assistance?


Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Ro DamonFemaleGuyana2011-07-21 16:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi-134
i dont "work" so my friend agreed to the the sponsor...

as per #10 on the i134 should my friend put "none" or list my fiance there....the question reads " i have submitted a visa petitions to the USCIS on behalf of the following name(s)? If none, state "none"


also being that my fiend is takin this responsibility do i also have to fill out and AOS (i134) for him to present at the interview


thnks so much for your help!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat should i do after i got approved N02?

Hi..... I mailed to IVphnompenh@state.gov which is the an email of the u.s embassy in Cambodia and they said they are mailing the packet 3 to my address in Cambodia. My fiancee in the state got hard N02 on september 8th, 2011. I just wanna know when i can get that packet 3? Where i can track that packet 3?

From this link http://photos.state...._for_fiance.pdf, What should i do with it?

First, i know i should fill out the form ds-230I, I-134, and Of-169 then reply to u.s embassy in phnom penh, right? (only ds-230i, I134 and of-169, right?)

Second, Should i check on the checklist from number 1 to 14? Should i leave it uncheck if i don't have for example military support or court and prison records?

At the end of the instruction they say

Enclosures:

1- Form DS-230 (Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration).
2- DS-156K (Nonimmigrant Fiancé(e) Visa Application Form)
3- DS-157 (Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application-for all Male Applicants between the age of 16 to 45, regardless of nationality or place of application.) The above forms can be downloaded from http://travel.state.gov
4- Form I-134 (Affidavit of Support). Can be downloaded from www.uscis.gov
5- Form I-864P (Poverty Guideline) Can be downloaded from www.uscis.gov
6- Medical instruction
7- Photo instruction

What does it mean? is that mean i have to bring all of this documents to the u.s embassy on my interview date?

Again and again, What i understand is to fill out the form ds-230, I-134 and of-169 and sent to u.s embassy? the rest is to bring it on my interview day, right?

Thanks for helps






This entire process can be really wordy and leaves you to interpret....but from reading the doc on the link thats what I understand too. I havent got to that step as yet but dont be afraid to call the 603 number for help even though at times person's maybe rude I come across some friendly ones when I had question about my mother's case now I'm waiting for approval for my fiance!


GOOD LUCK!! Just call the 603 num and they can answer your questions

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRun down of the K1 visa (Thnx for your help)

Welcome Ro Damon!

My fiance is also from Guyana. I'm a little further along in the process. We already received our NOA2 and the case file is at the embassy in Guyana. My fiance just submitted the required forms today so we can get the interview date.

All the info Ryan H gave you is correct as far as I know. Mark sent me a copy of his letter stating intent to marry and G325a with his original signature, and passport picture via Fed ex. I provided a copy of my US birth certificate, so I didn't provide a copy my entire passport. I did copy the first page and only the pages with passport stamps showing the times I visited him.

In terms of what your fiance will have to submit once its time for the interview...a few things will overlap but there are additional forms that he will need to complete. I'm assuming you have yet to submit the I-129F so a few months after you submit the I-129F you should begin reviewing this link. It lists everything that is required for the interview.

Hi Everyone,
So I'm new to the site, YAY a newbie!

I'm about to start the process to get my fiance to the US from Guyana and have a few questions, looking forward to your guidance.

I have together a coverletter.
I-129F form
g325a (his) (can he scan and email this back to me?? so that I can send it) ?????
g325a (mines)(does he have to sign the one with my info too since it has the space for "applicant signature") ????
Passport pic (how many is that to be to him)???
Passport pic (me ^^ same question)????
My passport pages to show travel and citizenship
Birth Certificate
Letter of Intent (his)
Letter of Intent (mines)
& msn chats, pic, bank statement showing the purchase of the those flight tickets...and may more....

Am I missing anything for the first lap ?

And secondly what are the things that are need for my fiance to have in Guyana to take to the Guyana Consulate ? Is it basically the same things I submit now?

I just want to send it asap....

Thirdly, whats the dealio about the medical?


Lastly How much money does this all cost, would be great if someone broke down the prices for ever thing thats needed!!

I know I'll love you guys already for your help and support!

A million thanks

The "wait" has just begun, so be prepared for future times of frustration. Our NOA1 was dated 01/25/11 and the Visa Interview has JUST been granted for 10/24/11. by June, I just decided to stop being so anxious and just let time run its course. "A watch pot (visa) never boils (arrives)!



hahah nice one," wa watch pot never boils" Ill take that as my advice. I'm here anxiously checking for my NOA2 by all ports, emails, text, and mail....and via the site. ITs hell.....

I got a feeling this week :)

and to the topic starter, HOLD ON THERE! there is more waiting to do than for the NOA1. Get all the necessary docs in place. Try do that to get your mind off of things. Thats what I've been doing and with the help of the VJers its been pretty decent time spent reading and posting questions.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs this proof enough?

We have pictures of ourselves in Bucharest, Athens and Rome, plane tickets, his passport entries to Romania ( one showing he lived in Bucharest for 5 months - but there is no evidence of that, we lived in one of my parents' houses and the utilities were paid in their name), and a print screen of our messenger archives showing we have chatted over 1100 days.

Is that enough?

Try to get the screen print of logs of everyone you talk to and have included in the view the amount of space your other half takes up compared to others....like my fiancee had files and files compared to my friends on Messenger.... that could also help.do anything tht would prevent you from getting an RFE! (<---which would suck majorly)

Get everything you can and leave nothing back! money transfer receipts, bank statement with the purchase of your ticket, just make everything count.

Oh and if you were a US citizen from birth have all pages of your passport copied to send also. this shows your traveling and proof of citizenship

Also you can check out this posthttp://www.visajourn..._1#entry4701529
