K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2

Thank you so much the reply...now i feel better I will send the copy to him for his interview....


Did not think such paper work was needed but if you need to send it for visual then a copy would do. You can send this by email.. it's just so much easier and quicker.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNAO1 question

SSOOO I got my NOA1
which im pretty excited about...
but now that I have also recieved my hard copy- I have tried to track it with the reciept number but everytime I do it says taht the form can not be found.. I even created an account with the USCIS in attempt to just have them e-mail me when something does happen to it.. but it wont let me because the reciept number isnt right??! is this normal.. should I just give it some more time.. Or should I just be giving the USCIS a call tomorrow to ask them whats going on?

Thanks for any help
DF


The receipt number is CORRECT as printed on the hard copy.. no need to get worked up. Is it normal..? Unfortunately now-a-days it is. You should give it sometime. if not fixed by Friday/Monday there maybe a fix

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWould changing the interview date create a red flag?

Follow-up question: I have 3 years of 1040s including 2010. My taxes were sent electronically by the tax preparer so what I have are original copies. Is my understanding correct that since the originals were submitted, these copies I have are acceptable to produce at the interview? Thanks.


that would be fine. IF you are worried and you have the time contact the IRS and request a tax transcript via fax/email/mail
RICARDO4EVA2MaleJamaica2011-03-06 10:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWould changing the interview date create a red flag?

We requested to have our interview date changed so that I had more time to get my 2010 tax returns together for the I-134 and the embassy replied saying that they would reschedule and send us a new appointment letter in the mail. It doesn't seem like it's a problem but I'm getting paranoid that this request will create some sort of red flag to the embassy.


NOT if you provide a good reason.. say medical etc. If it's just to change it then - they may not honor it in the first place.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat to do now?

i know this is very premature, but it is so hard to wait and do nothing!
our 129-f is in the hannd of the Vermont Service Center a little over a month.
yes, i know we ahave to wait at least another 5 months for approval.
however, as the USA petitoner, what will i need to do in the next phase? what forms, etc?
i laready have the last 3 years transcripts from the IRS. what else can i mput together? a letter from employer?
for how long pleae help me ge starte:-)....todd

In short you can request the letter from your employer, you are not required to submit the last 3 years of tax returns/transcript unless you want to.

Hi Ricardo, From what I've read on other forums, It looks like Vermont Servise Center and the fee is $170.00. Does that sound right?


Not $170 and vermont is likely to process the I-129F

thank you
I have looked at the IR-1/CR-1 visa.but would she be able to travel over on the VW during the wait the separate time is what worries me

Separation from family may be longer than if filing for a K-3 Visa (or K-1 visa for a non-married fiance).
""The applicant will most likely not be able to enter the US while their IR1-CR-1 Visa is being processed. """


of course not. the privilege cant be used in that way to side-step the process.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy Sister and I are both applying for K-1 Visas for our Fiances

I am nervous because My sister and I are both applying for K-1 Visas for our fiances. It is kind of a weird situation. We are twins and obviously have a lot in common haha. I have been with my b/f for 7 years and she has been with hers for 6 years. I live in Mexico with him but we are going to be moving back to MN at the same time and we will have to move in with my parents first and then find a a place for ourselves. Does it look bad that my sis and I both are going to be putting the same address??? This is making me very nervous.

Hey twocats
The trends on USCIS's website means nothing to me.. I dont even know if they are accurate.

What's that website you go to to see all the petitions filed for each month that's color coated to see which ones are approved and the percentages completed?

I mean, I´m entering The USA under the K1. Once we get married we´ll start the change of status. Do I have to wait til I receive the Green Card in order to enroll at university? Or once we´ve applied, Can I enroll?


varies... so check with the school you are interested in ... some will grant the "cheaper rates" mentioned above which is known as "in-state fees." You have ties to the state so it may be easy for you.

I am new here so please forgive me if this question has been asked. I would like to know how I can find out when the NVC has received my case, when my case left NVC, and when the Consulate received it. By calling them with the receipt number?

Thanks!


Exactly by calling them and providing the USCIS generated case number. When the case gets to the Consulate... you can call them.. or email them to ask if the case is there. There is a way to TRACK the case when it is sent from the NVC to the consulate.

Would I make a note in the employer section to see supplementary info page that I would attach to the back of the form? I could put on the supplementary page that I belong to such and such union and this address and work for many different contracts on a weekly basis. And perhaps list the top 4 employers?


Well you can left the most recent employers that you were contacted with since it seem as the employer who pays you are different each time. On the separate sheet of paper be sure to reference the Question # etc. that it pertains to.
RICARDO4EVA2MaleJamaica2011-03-27 22:45:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEmergency Interview

So we are waiting for our NOA2 still and have about a month to wait at least. Then we have to add a few weeks for NVC and then some more time for Embassy to process. Then the Jamaican timeline for an interview is between 60 to 90 days. But we are pregnant and the baby is due in August. I cant stand the idea of having the baby without him, it is the first for both of us. Does anyone know if we would qualify for an Emergency Interview in order to try and insure his arrival before the baby's? This is what the US Emabassy in Jamaica's website says about emergency interview


Does being present at the birth of the baby qualify as immediate family member who is required to travel for support?

Feels that way to me!!! Anybody know anything about this?


If your Interview is around the time when you are due then you are like told NOT to travel until after the baby is born and when cleared by the doctor. The way they may look at it and should is that.. pregnancy could have been controlled KNOWING you both are going through the immigration process.

Sorry

Sorry to say but the answer is no - pregnancy is not a valid reason for expediting any stage of the immigration process.

If it was, we'd all be knocked up by now :lol:


Posted Image

Sorry to say that having a baby or wanting to have the father present at birth is not an emergency compelling reason to have the process expedited.
After your petition has been sent to Kingston, you can send them an email to see if they have any earlier dates available for the interview, but that will not be a guarantee. Also note, that there are many pieces to the interview process you still have to get through, police report, and medical can always cause a delay.


Posted Image

unfortunately, the odds of this happening is nil to none....i know this first hand as me and my husband have 2 and a half year old twins and we tried to expedite and were denied.....i had a horrible pregnancy and was very sick and in hospital for last 2 months of it and still was not a reason for them to approve....i will try and be positve and say good luck in trying but also want you to not get your hopes up 100% just to be shot down.....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExpired Forms

so, my fiance received his packet three today but all of the forms they provided to him to fill out are all expired. What should I do? I was thinking about searching the updated versions of the form but then I might run into an issue with the Kingston Consulate. Any advice would help :(


issue with the Kingston Consulate for providing the updated form..? No.. never. You dont need to use the Expired versions of the forms... if you are able to find the new versions.. then go for it. Even though the forms are expired that maybe the "current' form being used it just wasn't revised.. remember .. America is a poor country... and fees needs to be adjusted to cover the cost.

What forms are you using..?

Now my next question. Will I have to pay another AOS fee, which I already paid for my husband. Also, which affidavit of support forms will I need to submit for my step-son/husband for CR/1 filing, all my income is through work, and I do not need a sponsor. Also does anyone know if my step-son, age 4 will need to attend the embassy interview? Lastly, what form will his biological mother need to file or sign for my husband and I to take to the US? She has already verbally approved him coming, but I know it should be some paperwork for her to sign. : :unsure:


you will not pay another AOS fee, Why? Because you have an active case at the NVC.
looks like you will file the I-864
the child will need to attend the interview
his biological mother will not need to sign a form however provide a letter endorsed by the JP saying she gives permission.

There's not a factor that is weighed heavier than the "only requirement" of having met the future spouse since financial mingling is not required etc. if i had to say though I would say the Affidavit of Support.
