K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVaccinations in one day??!
hi!
I had my exam at ''Centrul medical Unirea''. Everyone was so great. The doctor didn't gave my any vaccination because she sad that here in the Us is cheaper. Before I filled for Adjustment of status (after the marriage) I had to have one more exam here in the Us. They done blood work and I had my vaccines (HPv,Tetanus and measles).
Relax, I know how do you feel. :yes:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould we get a lawyer?
DO NOT hire a layer only if you got a complicate case. They will ripe you off. We had to hire a layer because my husband doesn't have a birth certificate.(He and his family emigrated during the communism period and they took every papers they had, all birth certicates etc.)
If you have a layer doesn't mean that your papers will get approved faster. We waited 8 months for NOA2. The normal processing timeline was 6 months.

Every information what do you need is on this forum. If you have questions you can ask (we are here for you).It is not complicated.Just you need a lot of research.
Don't hire a layer. :bonk:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureschatlog and email for the interview
hi!

I printed 700 pages of chat and 100 of emails and I also had 150 photos. This is too much. I didn't know. They like to see photos.
I'm Hungarian (born and raised in Romania) and my husband is also Hungarian(living in USA) so all our conversation were in Hungarian and I didn't translate them because it was too much to translate. At the interview they told me that they were curious about what we spoke in general.(it's secret :whistle: )
It the embassy I also saw someone with only a small photo album and she got her K-1 visa.
I think that max. 100 pages of chat and max 50 emails are enough.

Bye!

You can send back the papers to the embassy and be scheduled for an interview. You need the police certificate only at the interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescertified translation?

could someone please tell me if translations of documents have to done by someone certified to translate or if they can be done by anyone who speaks and reads both languages fluently...thanks so much!!


Documents need to be translated but not notarized by someone who is certified. Mails and chat logos you can translate yourself.
I didn't translate my mails and they didn't say nothing. Everything was in hungarian.

After the civil ceremony you will be husband and wife. You can have the name changed as well. The religious ceremony is in front of God. We had our civil ceremony last year in October and we are planning to have the religious ceremony in the spring of 2011. We didn't wanted to be rushed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhere do I begin?
Apply for a K1(fiancée visa) if you love her and want to spend your rest of your life with her. I guess that you have US citizenship by now. Maybe you should consider a layer because she was here illegally.
The student visa is not an option because I know people who got into very prestigious US Universities and they didn't get the visa. Good luck!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhich is my service center?

i understand your asking it for your sister she wants to know where to send the 1-129f, the address is on the 1-129f instructions page 5,in dallas tex, everything gets sorted there then it goes to other centers,like for your service area,


Thanks for your answer

Just leave the address part off the Letter of intent. Or you can have them put VSC address on it if you want. She will likely be at VSC for the state of NJ. Tho if it is processing too slow she may get shifted to another center.




Thanks for your answer

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhich is my service center?

ALL I-129Fs get mailed to TX.

SEE: http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD


Hello I understand that they get sent to Texas but the example letters for fiance intent says service center and not sure what service center is for NJ

Should I just leave that blank????
KAT - BETOFemaleColombia2011-01-17 12:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhich is my service center?

First of all, all K1 Visa petitions get sent to Texas, as per the I-129F instructions.

Second, if you are married, as your signature suggests, a K1 Visa is not applicable to you.


sorry I didn't state before that I am helping my sister file her petition and she is not married.

As coco said you cant file a K-1 when you are married. Does not matter what service center because you cant send it.. well you can send it to Texas and they will take your money then deny you. Without a refund.


You need to file a CR-1 spousal visa because you are married.


Your timeline says you already filed a K-1 and finished removal of conditions.

Hi every one.

I was advice NOT to leave anything blank on the G-325a and in the I-129F.

Is it Ok to use N/A and NONE on the same form?

What do you all advice is best of the two to use to avoid confusion?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 denial or refusal

I don't find the comment negative. It's useful because of how true it is. We were just denied because of a stupid arrest. I really can't believe it. Anyway, here's the website: http://travel.state....es_1364.html#1. It's a list of ineligibilities.



Who was arrested? The US citizen or the person overseas?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould I include A DVD with Skype video calls?

Why dont you print the conversations on skype? I mean the chat, instead of recording the video calls? Guess they'd look at it. We included it on our petition, not the video calls. Also facebook, msn, emails and all the other documents as proof.


Oh yes indeed I will include all those as well but I also wanted to go all out about it.

So far nobody has provided a link with documentation on providing video evidence of relationship on a DVD. (Digital Media)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould I include A DVD with Skype video calls?
Can anyone provide me with a web link with documentation that states that they do not accept or look at digital media?

Are you talking about evidence of having met within the last two years (as needed for the initial petition)? You can use things like boarding passes, copies of receipts showing both names (hotel etc), as well as photos together, (dated, though photos are considered secondary evidence). Anything that shows you were in the same place at the same time. This is probably easier than what you are considering.



Yes, for the initial petition. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould I include A DVD with Skype video calls?
Hi all again.

I work in IT so I know my way around very well with computers. I was thinking of using a special plugin for Skype that would allow us to record our live video calls and include it as part of our initial visa request packet. I can easy convert the files to DVD playback format and add menus. Even if they don't ever play it on their computers at least it will show that is there if they want to dig deeper. What do you guys think about this idea? I'm sure I'm not the first person who though of it. Please feel free to provide me with the pros of cons of this.
The Rice KingMaleVietnam2011-06-18 20:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMoneyGram receipts for initial K-1 application.

My wife and I sent a ton of stuff as evident that we had been in a relationship. We even had a son together before we were married. We still received a RFE. I copied and sent them receipts from all the money that I sent her through Western Union. It was a sizable amount. This was exactly what they needed to make the connection between Abi and I. The receipt had dates, names of sender/receiver, and showed them that we had more than just a casual relationship.


I see two great points so far to my question. I thank you both of you for taking the time to reply and share your experience.
The Rice KingMaleVietnam2011-06-18 21:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMoneyGram receipts for initial K-1 application.

This is a very sweet and generous thing you do for your fiance but this maybe could be misconstrued by the Embassy as payment for a marriage depending on the ammount. I would maybe leave this out just to err on the side of caution.


Does anyone else concur with this opinion or has a different point of view? Please feel free to share your opinion, I welcome all your feed back.


FYI. It has never been more than $100 a month. One month I only sent her $50 and another month I didn't send anything.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMoneyGram receipts for initial K-1 application.
Generally every month I send my fiance money using MoneyGram. The website allows me to print out a receipt with detail information of each transaction. This includes the name of the person receiving the funds, date, time, transaction number, amount, country sent to, my bank card last 4 digits and name of sender. Will this be consider appropriate to include my initial K-1 Visa application?

Its not asking for an address in the US, its asking for her last address outside of the US which would be the current address that she lives at.



Now I am back in confusion land....
The Rice KingMaleVietnam2011-06-19 21:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInformation clarification

I answered N/A since this question doesn't apply to fiancee. My fiancee has never been to US and has never been out of Vietnam for more than a few days. This didn't present a problem with getting the I-129f approved.

Good luck!



Thank you for the very much for the clear answer. I can now move one.
