One way is fine. Return seems to be cheaper in a lot of circumstances.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-i denied in Nigeria

My name is Ebunoluwa not hey you. I didn't "try" your English. If you had read the post in depth you would have understood that
her petition was approved with a waiver and therefore she does qualify. You gave out incorrect information and I corrected it.


Listen up.. im done with you after this.. i didnt give out ANY INFORMATION.. where in

"join suit..??????????? they have not met - there's nothing come on!!"



do you see where info was given..? I wasn't talking about a waiver - but a specifically about waivers for not meeting. It's simple.


Enjoy your day and drop it

You can join the class action suit. Here is the link. http://www.entrylaw....litigation.html
To find out more call the attorney for a free consult, he also does the litigation pro bono, so no cost to you.
He is fighting to get K1's reviewed as recommended by the embassies.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview Tomorrow! DS-157 question!

Hey guys!

The visa interview is tomorrow
and I was double checking everything with my fiancee
and on her packet 3, it says that the DS-157 need only filled out by MALE applicants between 16 and 45 years of age. Now, my fiancee is, of course, a female, so would this make her exempt of the DS-157?? Of am I, the US citizen, the applicant?


This is new that the consulate has gender specific forms..? Posted Image

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTax transcripts

I ordered both. The account transcript is less detailed (1 page). It is simple and what is I am using! The return transcript is longer 3-4 pages total (~2 actual front and back).

 

Order both if you want since they are free. 

giving them  docs the will not need is just wasteful and could cause a delay so  why run the risk?!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresnon impediment and previous marriage(divorced)
Hey Night Nurse.. i received your email and will give my best answer. ... So a marriage was found because the RDG was not updated with the divorce done in California, USA. Since the applicant is divorce it is necessary to bring a copy to the office (or RDG) and and see if they will be able to re-issue the document showing free to marry. If they are not able/wiling to update the records/reissue the document then he should take the divorce decree to the interview on July 27... I'm sure that it will go well.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUS ARMY boyfriend in The Netherlands, I'm Canadian already in the US

That is true. If you consummate the marriage you should be ok. Expect the USCIS to ask for all kinds of evidence to that. IMHO you would be better off getting married in the NL once you get there.


We'll be living together, I'll be taking pictures of our travels during our stay in The Netherlands, pictures of our apartments and will be keeping copies of our insurance and bills and what not. I also have pictures, traveling receipts and emails from us BEFORE he left for the Netherlands. I think it's better if we get married by proxy before I enter The Netherlands for Army purposes & standards, it's not so much for Immigration purposes. My boyfriend is meeting his lawyer Wednesday. We'll know more then. The military, their rules and the fact that he's the one who'se away and I'm here, a Canadian in the US. It can get confusing to say the least. I don't have a problem getting married in The Netherlands but will The Netherlands Immigration let me in is another question too.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUS ARMY boyfriend in The Netherlands, I'm Canadian already in the US

Josee, marriage by proxy is not valid for immigration purposes, so if you are planning to use your marriage as the basis of your request for residency in the US you need to get married in person. It does not matter if you get married stateside or the NL.

Good luck!



Thanks! But doesn't it say that USCIS recognizes a proxy marriage after it is consummated? I will be living with him in The Netherlands for 2 years after the marriage and before we return to the US.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUS ARMY boyfriend in The Netherlands, I'm Canadian already in the US
Hi,

I am a Canadian female that has been living in the US for approx 5 years on various working Visas, 0-2 and TN. I met my boyfriend June, 2012. He has since been transferred to The Netherlands for a 3 years contract and I want to move there to be with him. He's not living on an army base but he was transferred as a "single" person. Now that I'm going to join him, we're wondering if we need to get married. If so, I hear that marriage via proxy isn't recognized by USCIS. The thing is I'm joining him right after the marriage and will probably apply for a Green Card at the US consulate. Has anybody dealt with a situation like mine before?

I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

Josee

I believe only the I 129f petition was denied - not the visa at the interview (which could garner a 221g). I think the OPs first post muddies the waters a bit by saying 'visa petition'.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMiddle name confusion
My husband has 2 middle names. USCIS always dropped his second middle name on NOAs throughout the entire process (he is now a US citizen), and just abbreviated the first middle name.

The only time we were picky about it was when he got his visa - we wanted the name on it to match his passport, which it did, as we filled out all the consular forms accordingly.

His green card dropped the second middle name entirely, again, abbreviating the first middle name. His naturalization certificate does have both middle names on it , which again, we were picky about as it is the last and main document he will need going forward.

Bottom line - don't let the NOA concern you. Just confirm with the consulate when you have your interview about how they feel your visa should appear. My guess is they will have it match your passport.

Also be sure you understand the affidavit of support (income) requirements at both the visa stage - at the consulate via form I 134 - and the adjustment of status phase (via form I 864). Chances are you will have to get your parents to be willing to sponsor your fiance.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2...Wedding HELP.

I am in a very similar situation, people on this site just don't understand that you can't plan the type of wedding that will satisfy some families in the 3 months you have. My backup plan is this: if the visa doesnt come in time, he'll come over and we'll have the big wedding with family and friends, but not get a marriage license (i.e. have a religious, not a legal wedding) . Then, he'll fly back to england for his interview and when he comes back we'll have a small town hall wedding as our "legal" marriage. its not the best of situations (and you absolutely cant mention that youre entering the country for your wedding), but it will work if worst comes to worst.


I'd think twice about that if I were you. If they get one whiff of this, they may just deny the visa on the spot. Happens all the time in other consulates where a 'religious' ceremony has taken place prior to the interview. The burden of proof is then on you to prove you didn't get married. For all they know, you're hiding a marriage license from them, even if you really didn't get one.

There likely isn't much you can do until USCIS issues an RFE asking for the rest of the required documentation.

You don't apply for the H1B - your employer would.

I would save your potential employer the cost and let them know that you have a K1 visa in the works. It's up to them then whether or not to spend the $ on your H1B.

It will not mess up the K1 process, no. But you will have to disclose your pending app when applying for the tourist visa.

I'm also not sure how often tourist visas are granted for PI residents. I'll defer to the PI members on that one. I remember hearing they weren't easy to get but I could be wrong.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTaking too long; Lawyer Recommendations

Thank you for your input. These two really are miserable...

Does anyone know if it would be faster for him to travel to the Philippines and apply through there? He recently heard that the process only takes 90 days.

If not, the 5 months will be coming up in a few days. If everything looks good, how much longer do you think it will take? It's really hard trying to coordinate travel, renting a condo, security and all for his stay over there.


Be careful of what you 'hear' from others when it comes to immigration.

Most countries allow you to file directly in the country itself - also known as a direct consular filing. However, that is for married couples (which presumably your friend is not) and generally, the US citizen must be living in the country in question for a certain period of time before they are allowed to file. Depends on the country in question and the rules they have surrounding it.

What 5 months? You mean the 5 month processing time reported by the service center? All that means is they can put in a formal inquiry if their case goes beyond the standard reporting times. Sometimes it's best to contact a senator or congressman for help at that stage. And no, no one can tell you how long it will take after that for approval.

For what it's worth, It'd be better if he signed up here and asked his own questions. Things get lost in translation sometimes, and the devil is always in the details as far as immigration is concerned.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSlightly Confuzzled
The fact still remains that you will have spent 60% of your time in the US (in the timeframe stated), and that could be hard for you to overcome - job offer or no. It may not harm you in the slightest, depending on the CBP officer you encounter.

I guess you wanted us to give you a fool proof way to enter (via documentation), and I'm sorry - that's just not possible. Not unless you can remove the human factor (CBP officer) from the equation.
TracyTNFemaleUnited Kingdom2011-03-24 14:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSlightly Confuzzled
The VWP wasn't really designed for what you're doing, so it's really up to the officer at the POE to determine whether or not you're misusing it. If they think you are, all the documents in the world won't really help you.

I think the idea of routing through Dublin (and hence pre-clearance) is a good idea. If you do happen to be turned away, you wouldn't have far to go to return home.

Also you calling the CBP inspection 'the office' was very confusing to me at first. I had no idea what you were talking about! LOL

I didn't even think of that point. CBP prefers US citizens to enter the country on US passports. But I guess you can't present what you don't have. At any rate, getting a replacement natz certificate would allow you to apply for a US passport.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdual citizen trying to file for k-1
So what's your question? Are you wanting to petition for a fiance/e but you don't have proof of your American citizenship?

If so, there's a way to recoup it.

"

Are you a naturalized citizen or derivative citizen?
You can use your original Naturalization Certificate or Certificate of Citizenship as proof of citizenship. If you have lost either of your certificates, you can apply for a replacement using Form N-565. The instructions to N-565 explain how to file and the process in greater detail. You can access both the form and instructions from the “Related Links” section in the upper right corner of this page. If you do not have Web access at home or work, check with your public library, or you can order a form by telephone by calling the USCIS forms request line at 1-800-870-3676."

I think the only reason is that selling a business and/or a wedding are just not reasons they deem valid for expediting. If they did it in your case, as raymaga pointed out, they would have to approve so many that the point of expediting would be lost.

I'm sure you understand that those dealing with terminal illnesses really are in a race against the clock, where the impact is much more than financial.
