K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFebruary Filers - NOA2?
Hi All,

I just found this forum after finding this website trying to research visa timelines. I have filed my I-130 and I-129F for my husband. This is my current timeline so far:

I-130:
Received NOA1 February 20, 2008
Case Updated May 5, 2008 (I think you guys call this a "touch")

I-129F:
Received NOA1 February 28, 2008
Case Updated March 13, 2008

Oh and my case is at the VSC.

I guess my question is, have any of you other February filers received an NOA2 yet for your I-129F or I-130? Maybe I'm being impatient but I thought maybe I would hear something by now.

Thanks in advance for your help!

What I can see, no approvals yesterday and today.. I had hope this month going to be a great month for Vermont applicants. Or?

2 K1s so far out of VSC this week
0 K3s

http://cse.ssl.berke...vjdata/vsc.aspx


I had no idea there was another data sheet for tracking k3's. How do I go about getting added to this one? I'm already on another spreadsheet tracking the data, but would like to be added to this as well.

Thanks!

It turns out my touch was actually an approval! I was signed up for email notifications but I never received one (I bet it went into my junk mail folder). Anyway, I decided to check by receipt number and it said this:

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On August 10, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

I got approved for both the I-129F and the I-130.

I'm still in shock right now and can't believe its finally been approved! I hope this means more approvals soon for everyone else still waiting!

Off to fill out my timeline...

Looking through the spreadsheet for VSC K-3, something caught my attention. I was looking at the touches. I see "groups" of touches. I see alot between 5/2 and 5/7. Then they seem to disappear until 6/16 thru 6/23 then disappear again. I've read posts on here that they work on one type of petition for awhile, and then a different type for awhile. This data seems to support that, unless they get 5 week vacations. I know I'm probably gonna drive myself crazy trying to make sense out of all this, but I have nothing better to do. Wonder if the K-1s and IR-1/CR-1s show touches in those 5 weeks.



I noticed the same thing about the 5/2 through 5/7 touches, seeing as I'm included. I've been trying to make sense of it...I've also noticed a couple of people getting approvals that had touches during this time... (Heaven, Briff2000), and Cuppa just got an RFE... Again, probably wishful thinking on my part... But would like to think they are moving on these...


I'm also trying to figure this one out because I noticed the people that have filed around the same time as me have touches around the same time. Its strange! They must work on certain groups at the same time. I haven't received anymore touches though. Anyone in February receive a recent touch?

My wife been here in the united states since she was 3 yr. old. She got here through her dad petition I believe its K2. Parents got separated and they don't continue her paper work here. She now have a baby and was born here in the US. I am a US citizen and would want my wife to stay here in the US legally. Should I file here a K3 visa?

I wouldn't go for a lawyer if I can get a help here.. Please help! Lawyer is way expensive..

I dont understand why any one of her parents didnt continue the petition. Anyways.. your wife dont have SSN or a driver's license? How can she be living here in the US since she was 3 yrs old and still be illegal... i cant comprehend that situation im sorry....In my opinion its better to consult a lawyer who has more knowledge in your kind of situation and can guide you and your wife on the right path to getting her legal here in the US.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInternet Statements - Bank Accounts and Employment Letters
Help

Please let me know, both my Bank Accounts and Employer offer Internet Sites
where I can simply print out copies of my assets, and my Employer provided
a simple service at "theworknumber.com" where you can securely login and either
have yourself or others as needed verify your employment. Obviously they did
this to avoid tying up HR Dept with thousands of queries for employment verification
since I work for a huge multi-national company. The website does indicate that it
can be used for Dept of Homeland Security forms.

Question - will simple printouts of the internet statements be enough to satisfy
what is needed for the K1 Visa Interview for my fiance, or do I need to call and
provide a long-drawn out explanation asking for actual letter's somehow? Note
that my salary and assets are well above the poverty issues.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview - Proof of Relationship vs Proof of Marriage Intentions



Would they want more "proof of marriage" for the interview
or is the "proof of relationship" all they are looking for at the interview itself?


For a K-1 visa then the proof is an "ongoing relationship". Proof of "marriage" would disqualify you from a K-1.


my mistake, what I meant was, "proof of *intention* to marry", since the K1 it is expected

that you intend to marry within 90 days of entering US, do they want more proof of *intention*
to marry, ie. wedding plans, at the interview

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview - Proof of Relationship vs Proof of Marriage Intentions
We got our interview date for 12/4/06, does anyone know what the best things are
to submit as "proof of relationship"? We have photos, emails, phone bills, plane tickets.

Anything else?

I was thinking about asking both my parents to sign/notary a document
indicating they are aware of the relationship and plans to marry? anyone else
do this ?

Also, the original I-129F asked about proof of "intention to marry" ie.
caterer bills, invitations, however we did not know when the visa might be approved
so we could not provide anything much to proove "intention of marriage"

but despite that the I-129F was approved.

Would they want more "proof of marriage" for the interview
or is the "proof of relationship" all they are looking for at the interview itself?

QUOTE (workin4somethin @ Feb 29 2008, 07:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Anyone done driving lessons recently or have advice on how "not" to just forget about such nonsense?

Driving lessons is the first thing my wife did after I left to come back . I think its a great idea to pay for the lessons. I can think of a much better way to spend quality time with Jojie. besides, I just couldn't pass up the price..I think it would have cost at least 10 times more to learn here. who doesn't love a good deal. She now rents a vehicle maybe once or twice a month for an overnite trip to her hometown by the sea. its about a three hour drive and its great practice.. I must say, I am impressed. I know some of the places she drove and not even her older brothers chose that route. (DON SALVADOR MT ) hopefully she will be an expert by the time she is here driving our vehicles..LOL.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Spouse Support - How much does she need?
take the good advice from ur vj family and straiten this out ASAP before she gets here. I send my wife what she needs to cover her bills and to be an equal to me. In other words, if I eat out twice a week and go to the movies once a week. well then she should also live as I do. after all it is now our money. although the most responsible person with the knowledge of all the income and bills should take charge of the budjet. and as time goes by teach your spouse about everything you do with the finances. I told my wife the only money we will send to her family other than a true emergency would be about $100.00 a month. that is to cover the internet and phone in the house. so she would have easy and constant communication with her family. There is no way we can go on vacations and save for cars, college, home repairs, etc. if we send our money to them. yes we make more here, but we also need to spend more here. ( cost of living ).
you said they don't speak comfortably about money, yet early in your relationship she told you she expects $400.00 per month, hmmm..thats not what I call shy. you need to tell her point blank what your intentions are as far as money goes before she gets here. save yourself a lot of trouble if she does not agree. once you sign the affidavit of support and she adjust there is no turning back....good luck

Asia: East and PacificAffadavit of Support Question
read the I134 carefully. I think its your gross income that matters. and not your net. if thats the case, he will qualify on income alone. otherwise his savings will surely be sufficent. he would need to have savings or assets totaling a value of 5 times the amount of the difference of what his income is and the 125%of poverty level is for his situation. therefore if he was $5,000.00 shy of the requirments. $5,000.00 x 5 = $ 25,000.00 in assets. if this was for k3 I believe it would be 3 times the amout. I have not gone this far yet so be sure to check what I have wrote...
ronjieMalePhilippines2008-08-17 05:29:00
Asia: East and PacificWe are homeowners!
YOU should explain to your wife that trees like any other landscapining in the yard add real value to your homes worth. just think of what a small tree would cost to buy and plant. and then multiply it by 50 or 100 for a mature tree. now keep in mind the priorty should be your home first. so the tree should not be to close to the house causing damage to the roof (could be elevated away from the roof) . and the root system should not be lifting at the foundation, walkways, driveway or entangling in the septic or drainage system. although roots can be trimed to an extent, just not as easy as the branches above. also any branches over the roof should have approx. 10-14 foot clearance, each tree is differant and it depends on their size. this will help on your utility bills (free airconditioning). what you should look for is a tree that is in balance with your home. have an arborist visit your home for a free evaluation of the safety of your trees. deadwood and broken or damaged limbs should be removed. you don't want them to fall and hurt anyone. especially if children play under the tree. there are signs that an arborist may pick up on that you would not. like mushrooms indicating dry rot and weak wood. good luck and feel free to pm me if you have questions. trees have been my business for over 20 years.

First of all, hillbillies are fictitious people not real. Don't let that get to you. LOL. Talking about respect, when you cannot differentiate whether they're real or not.

However, some places will think hillbillies are derogatory and some places don't. If a fictitious object is causing you to feel offended, then, I'm sorry.

If you believe there's hillbillies around then you should be feeling sorry because you think hillbillies are real. Therefore, in your mind you will have an image of them in your head of what they look like. I don't know hillbillies even existed other than fiction. Have you noticed?

On the other hand, if you associate hillbillies to a group of people that is considered offensive. You need to know your place woman.



first off , I'm a man. and this is way off topic !! but go tell a hillbillies, redneck, valley girl, georgia peach that they're not real. and someone will tell you your wrong. so now you know... they do exist !!

and its about the lack of respect you have for people in general, so grow up..

Some interviewer maybe hostile towards any signs of tattoos. Their ethics are skewed because they don't get paid that much



ethics/morals come from how you are raised !!! rich or poor, it doesn't matter. I grew up poor, but do very well now and never forgot where I came from and how many good for nothing snobs I had to push out of my way to get what I wanted and deserved.

Do you have substantial money and does that make you feel like your ethics are on a higher level than most? if so, you just keep telling yourself that !!!


Well, for many people. You are yourself. I've seen a number of Americans here working abroad at the US Embassy worldwide that carry over their American characteristics.


####### are you talking about. do you even know? not real sure what characteristics you are reffering to.


If you worked in a job that gives you a salary of less than 20k or 30k, you see that they don't tend to do their jobs at the most efficient levels. Hmmm....If you worked in HR for a few years, probably you would understand how the people tend to be less motivated to a job the more they work, and the less they get complimented.

Working in a US Embassy as a VISA attendant, one needs a high school diploma, and fluent in both English and the local language. Not only that, they must understand the culture around. Traveling to several countries, I visited a number of hospitals (American sponsored hospitals) that carry ads for positions in the embassy. They list their requirements. That is how I learned their qualifications.


lets see here...you think your god, as ur profile claims ! people that are underpaid and don't get complimented but nonetheless work their azz off every day. is not just unfortunate for being underpaid, but also lazy and lack motivation and efficiency. you should realize that a job that pays your bills and supports your family with food and a roof over their heads is satisfaction enough for many in this world. what gives them the lack of motivation is the inconsiderate, unapreciative clowns like you they have to deal with on a day to day basis. thinking your better than someone coz your more fortunate then them is just ignorant thinking. as far as I'm concerned, if you work hard everyday. you have my respect in that department. just remember, one day you may be applying for that job !!

Because they work hard everyday, doesn't translate into being kind and sincere. I hope you see this?

I'm surprise that you believe I'm God.


nobody believes it . you just think it.. with your lack of respect for people, who would be kind or sincere to you ? I remember you post hillbillies are piggy. what or who is a hillbilly. you keep talking #### about people, you'll never get respect !! what class of people are you going to put down next ?

My poor man in VN is upset because everyone keeps telling him he will be denied a visa because he has tattoos.

does he have a tattoo of your name, or tattoo's? be specific. and someone asked you if you were "ILOVETAN". you didn't answer. if he has tattoos and that is the stereotype, there may be problems. although I agree with you. expressing yourself through body art is no reason for denial.. good luck

I just applied for a K-1, but I am curious as to why K-3 applications appear to take so much longer (not to say K-1 process isn't long enough!) ...?

Presumably one of the great hurdles to get over for a K-1 is the sincerity of relationship, intent to marry, etc. etc. With a K-3, that's pretty much taken care of ... so why the extra hassle from USCIS?



I disagree with your second sentence. Sincerity and intent is not a given just because someone marries. It might appear that way to those going through the process. But, let's be honest.....marrying someone in a foreign country is pretty easy.

Otherwise, I agree with what was posted.....there just seem to be some extra steps depending on what you file.



I disagree with this statement, to marry someone and know that you will be leaving them to go back home is the hardest thing any husband or wife has to do. Now anyone can get married in any county including the USA without much hassle, but to get married and know you are not going to be together for a period of time, does take a strong person to get thru it. You are 100% right about that. its very hard to prepare yourself for that, especially when all ur thinking about is ur wedding and ur spouse.....


Be Bless
