Jen: you don't need a birth certificate for the petition. You can also send in other forms of proof of citizenship, such as your entire photocopied passport.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresanother I-129F quick question
As far as I know, you CAN add a number and they will assume it's your birth certificate number, but as a birth certificate is not even required for the petition, you don't need the number. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPassport as proof of citizenship
Yes, you can use your passport as proof of citizenship. Just be careful to copy ALL PAGES of it, not just the name page. It is as good as any other proof of citizenship.

Seriously. Do not file that K3 until you get a lot more advice. Sounds like a simple AOS to me. No idea why you'd even need the K1.

wolf can you get a phone like that for Brazil?



Do what I am doing. Send your fiance a Vonage adaptor for their landline (it works through the internet) and pay 30 dollars a month. It is VOiP service and when you set it up, it will be like making local calls. Get her a phone number that is in your local area.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat happened this week?

OK, let's see...
Your NOA1 date is April 19
They are processing March 6 receipt dates now
Your Svc Senter is California
And you expected an approval this week.

Wake up! You were dreaming!! :D


That's not really fair. As we all know, those processing dates are meaningless. We are all frustrated. I know I feel despair that we haven't been touched since July 8, but I also know it doesn't mean anything and others have waited much longer. Doesn't rob me of my right to feel despair!

I just don't want to open yet ANOTHER thread telling someone they are being ridiculous for expecting an approval in four months time!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWaiting for approval abraod?

I'm somewhat considering waiting for approval in Morocco. The main reason is because I miss my man (It's been three weeks since we've been separated, and i was planning a trip in december but that seems so long...) But I don't know if that's advisable, or if it would affect the approval in any way (for good or bad.) First of all, I know I would have to find a cosponsor, because I would kind of have to quit my job. Is anyone on this forum doing that? (waiting with your fiance in their country?) thanks for any advice!


Liz



MM yeah, I'm considering it. I'm definitely quitting my job to travel throughout Oct and Nov, sooooo.... yes. Cosponsor. It's fine. The only things you need to be concerned with are RFEs. Do you have someone to help you should you get one? Also it's good to try to take care of as much of the affidavit stuff as you can before you go, IMO.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNo Letter about transfer to Cali


Yes..we got out NOA1 from Nebraska. But now everyone says they arent processing them in Nebraska. But I havent gotten anything from USCIS saying that they are going to move it to Cali


This is definitely a strange case. Normally, the petition will reach Nebraska, Nebraska would automatically forward the petition to California, then the NOA1 would come from California.

I'd definitely call on this one.

I got an noa1 from nebraska but recieved notification (email, online status, and letter) of the transfer. Then another letter for CSC saying they had the file. I panicked thinking something was wrong with my file, then I found this site and learned that nebraska was xfrg things.


You got an NOA1 from Nebraska because your petition reached Nebraska when they were still processing K-1 petitions.


It might be OK though because the OP and I were in the first batch of auto-forwarded petitions filed with the new form. And yes check that form again! It might say California :)

You need to send her as much as you can, more additonal copies of emails, chat sessions, phone bills..... The only originals you will send to her are a job letter, bank letters, income tax(notorized), any divorce decree(s) if nec and NOA2 showing the valid date of approval(4 months). Try to send more photo's too.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134, Question 11. What do I need to write in?
My mother is co-sponsoring my fiancee, who lives in Vietnam. Yes, that means we are dealing with the psychos at the HCMC consulate, who deny visas for any reason they can possible find.

In regards to the I-134: I still do not know what I should write for question 11 and my mother does not know what she should write for question 11.

It asks: That I Intend to make specific contribustions to the support of the person names in item 3. Indicate the exact nature and duration of the contributions. For Example, if you intend to furnish room and board, state for how long and, if money, state the amount in United States dollars and state whether it is to be given in a lump sum, weekly or monthly, or for how long.

What is the proper answer? If we get this question wrong, we're looking at a minimum of an additional 6 months waiting. We cannot deal with that. It would be crushing, so help us get it right the first time.

Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow can I get copies of my tax returns?
No, I just mailed it in last week. But of course, last year I made no money. Nothing. I am hoping she has her interview before I am required to turn in this year's return. But I doubt it. :(

WHy did I make no money? Long story, but being a writer can mean long periods where you are working on a project and not making jack. :(

Oh God, how can I get my W2's if my ex shredded them? I have been self employed since Summer of 2004, so obviously for 1/2 of 2004 and before that I need the info.

Good grief. My case is bound to get shived in the sh!tter. :( If I cannot provide certain info because my ex was a vindictive *****, then that's that. I cannot provide the info.

Can I call my ex employers and ask for copies of the old W2's?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis all the hassle worth it??
It's worth it, but I understand why you seem frustrated. I would rather cut off my right hand than not go through with this K1 stuff because I truly love my fiancee. But the process has been so stressful that at times I have been ill. Part of this is because my case has some complications and in dealing with Vietnam we may get slapped down.

But we will cross that bridge when we come to it.

OK, I have spent all day trying to talk to a human when calling the 1-800 number but am never given the option. It's impossible.

I have email the HCMC consulate three times in three weeks. No return email.

I called them them twice. Both times they hung up on me.

#######!!!!!?????!!!!!! :ranting:

Can someone please tell me how I can out if my case has reached HCMC? It was approved a month ago.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A messup. Somehow left fiance's mother maiden name off!
Yes, I left it blank. I did not have the exact spelling so I typed everything and then I printed it out. Then I wrote her name in. However, I think what I did was somehow make copies of one of the printings that I did not fully fill out.

I am horribly dyslexic. I sometimes get things screwed up.

I also had my sister double check all of this, yet she still missed it. :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A messup. Somehow left fiance's mother maiden name off!
OK, I have no idea how this happened. Strange that no one has caught it yet (since it was done all the way back in the I-129 stage). But since I am dealing with Vietnam, I know that this will become an issue.

I somehow left the space for my fiancee's mother blank. Her DOB, place of birth and residence is there, but the name is blank. Somehow I messed up in typing this out.

Last month my fiancee received Packet 3. She filled out the form(s) and sent it back in.

But if this error is there in the G-325A form, the case could be delayed because Vietnam is notorious for delaying things for months with missing information. They really like to stick it to us.

WHAT DO I DO!?!? I have called twice and each time could not talk to someone who could or would help. I emailed them, but they are weeks behind in answering.

I'll be leaving for Vietnam on Thursday, so my fiancee and I could easily go to the consulate and hand over the corrected form, but will they allow that?

:help:

EDIT: To clarify, the mother's enitre name is missing.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy fiance is on a plane right now, thanks to VJ
Well, the CO in HCMC threw my co-sponsor paperwork asside saying they no longer allow them. But based on my income from 2002-2004 he said good enough. Never did I think my income would be enough because in 2005 I basically made zilch. But because the IRS sent me a letter saying my records would not be available until AFTER the interview (I incuded the letter and the stamped envelope it arrived in for my fiance's interview) the CO did not care about 2005.

We got lucky. VERY lucky. :dance:

Congrats!

Thanks to all the VJ members here who gave me advice, told me to calm down and not worry, etc because my fiance is on that airplane right now and will arrive at JFK just before noon on Wednesday. I simply am in shock that the process was so much quicker than expected. I am way ahead of people who filed around the same time as Anh and I and I somehow avoided that IMBRA chaos, so praise be to God for that.

I just hope the customs officials do not try and take her DVD's and CD's. I've explained to Anh that the law is on her side, that she is allowed personal copies and should be polite, but stick stand her ground of the agent gives her problems.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 cosponsor Question
hello everyone
I worked last whole year and I made a lot more than what 125% poverty level suggests is good to sponsor. I'm still making a back up consposor affidavit of support of my parents incase they object that I only worked for a year.
My parents file joint tax return. Now, my question is should I fill out I-134 from one of my parents or both? and where it says anual income will I write their separate income or sum them up. I'm really confused. A quick response will be appreciated our interview in on april27th.
