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.

http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-G-325A.pdf

The example forms are great when you are unsure, basically tell you how to fill the forms out.



Thank you for your reply. I already looked at that before. Then I would have to write "present" on the "To" line since she still lives there?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInformation clarification
Hi all

In the line "Applicant's last address outside the United States of more than a year."

My fiance has never been out of Vietnam but at the same time she is outside of the United States for more than a year.

This question is very confusing.

I am very paranoid about making any mistakes.

What should I write there? Her current address? N/A? or NONE?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow do I properly write a supplemental sheet?
Hello all again.

How do I properly write a supplemental sheet to add work address history and residential address history that does not fit in form I-129F & G-325A?

Also very important. What should I write were the address goes on the for? "See Attachment" or "See supplemental form" "See attached sheet" ?

I am sure I can't just leave that space black.

I want to make sure I use the correct terminology and avoid confusion or mistakes.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat does this mean?
Hi everyone.

Located at the top right corner of the G-325A says "OMB No. 1615-0008; Expires 06/30/2011".

I downloaded this version of the G-325A from the USCIS official website.

If the form not valid for use after that expiration date?

Please someone reply to me ASAP.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresImmigrant Data Summary for K1
Hoping someone can help. helpsmilie.gif I'm getting 2 answers from all my research. My fiance recieved her Visa just the other day and it did not have the Immigrant Data Summary for USA bound emigrants. I read that becuase she is K1 she does not require the summary I don't know if this is true. Can someone shed light on that or does she still need the summary?

Also with the passport there was a flyer for the SMEF-COW and thats the Commission on Filipinos Overseas, a warning that says do not open the packet but the packet is open at the side, do you think that will cause problems?

Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBreaking up
I'm feeling your pain. I'm in Colombia visiting my fiancee now. It's been a difficult 4 days. First she found out 3 days before my arrival that she would start her new job the day I arrived and she would have to work 10 hour shifts everyday of my trip. I'm happy she got the job but I have only seen her awake for a few hours since Friday. Then yesterday she told me that she was having doubts about moving to the US because she doesn't want to leave her mother in Colombia alone. We went back and forth trying to work things out and agreed that she would take more time to think about everything. All I can do now is pray that we are still together when we get our NOA2. My thoughts to you is to take your time before you get into another relationship. I would hate to see you go through another bad experience. You also have a couple of months between NOA2 and the interview. You might get back together. Good luck.

Your NOA2 does not have to be extended since you have received an appointment date before that expiration. The same thing happened to us and I called the DOS and that is the info they gave me.

It's kind of hard to believe that after all this time, we are finally getting the chance to live our lives together, along with our beautiful children! His POE is Newark. Anyway, I would appreciate any ideas for welcoming him here. I just want him to realize how important they both are to me, and how much I love them! I had a custom banner made, and am taking about a dozen of helium-filled balloons with me to the airport to wait for them, but if anybody cares to share their experience or has any ideas on how else I can make that moment all the more special and memorable, I would appreciate it!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTraveling out of USA to visit fiance - Questions
Hi all! I am a NEWBIE, so please be gentle!

I am engaged to a UK citizen, who plans on relocating here to the USA. I have filed the I-129F, and received NOA1. It is my understanding that the next step in the process is receipt of NOA2.

I am planning on visiting the UK at the end of May for a total of 3 weeks to see my fiance. I am just very anxious to keep our case moving forward smoothly, and as quickly as possible.

I have the following questions:

1) Should I contact anyone from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services to let them know I will be out of the country?

2) Should I expect to receive anything further by the end of May (as in NOA2 or any other requests for information)?

3) What exactly does NOA2 consist of, and what information should I be gathering now in regards to it? Or should I just wait to get it?

4) Should I bring over the original copies of my birth certificate/proof of divorce when I go to the UK to leave with my fiance for his interview? Or will I need them here in the US before his interview, and just mail them to him later?

I realize that there is TONS of information on this site, and plan on doing more research here myself. I just figured if I posted, that one of you may be able to help me out a bit quicker.

Thanks in advance for any help!

QUOTE (canadian_wife @ Oct 15 2009, 04:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You need to know this won't be approved.

If you are bent on filing, here is what you need to do. You need to prove that her life is in imminent danger. you need to prove how she is unable to fix the situation herself. You need to show why she cannot simply move to a safer area.

A letter from you saying "I've been told by her mother that...." is not sufficient since that is strictly hearsay evidence. You need a doctor's note (likely) showing deterioration of her mental state as a result of her situation at home. You need evidence of this 'abuse' - police reports, pictures taken in a hospital, records of treatment.

USCIS reserves humanitarian expedites from SERIOUS situations. Although I sympathize with your fiance and agree her situation is likely pretty terrible for her, USCIS is heartless and won't care that she is having troubles at home.

Good luck.


canadian_wife has given you some wise suggestions. I do agree however that although this situation is very difficult for you and your fiance; be prepared for a denial of the request.

I'm sorry to hear also, I too hope he reconsiders, but if not, it's best, even though it's painful now, that it happened now. The pain and suffering could be much worse if you two get married, have children and then decide to "have cold feet" I would wait to cancel the process and let things settle down.


Ultimately, you two make the last decision. However, problems arise between couples and unfortunately, during hard times is when we choose to make important decisions. In other words, if you two had a disagreement, Now is the WORST time ever to make such a decision. Makesure it's really over before you withdraw when it's too late. This k-1 process is time consuming, pricey and most of all stressful due to waiting times. So I suggest you give it atleast a week before you actually withdraw. May the Lord be with you.

Hello everybody,
I already posted about my friend's fiance that doesn't want to marry her. My iance called him and talked to him about my friend. and now he's saying that he needs some time to learn more about her personality. But their visa expires on 30th of July. there's only few dys them to get married.
The question is can they get married later and then send letter to USCIS explaining the situation?
thanks a lot smile.gif


They have two options: Getting married or going back before July 30th. If she overstays it will ruin her chances of coming here in the future.

In the instructions (#3) for I-129F they say a copy of a valid, unexpired, current passport
can substitute for a birth certificate. I have that.

My birth certificate may be misplaced but I know
I can get another one if I need to.

What does the "valid for 5 years" mean - that the time it was valid for was at least 5 years
from the time it was granted or that there must be 5 years remaining in which the passport is valid?


You should be able to see the expiry date on the inside of either front or back cover of your passport.

You're applying for a Fiancee visa. Performing anything that could even be interpreted as a wedding (legally binding or not) could invalidate or seriously hamper your K-1 application. Play safe and leave the wedding ceremonies until after you've been granted the visa.

Its not easy to tell how long it might take because it depends on the backlog but you will know the estimated time after you enter the date of your NOA1 in your timeline.

My fiancee and I got into a incident earlier this year. She was here in the US and now is back in her country. She had to leave because her visa had expired.

I am sending the package out today for our k1 visa, her charges were for third-degree assault, third-degree criminal mischief, second-degree breach of peace. They were all 'nolled', from the lawyers terms he said, 'A nolle represents the prosecutor's unilateral decision to terminate your prosecution and does not constitute a conviction.'

Looking for advice/guidance on our situation, everyoen makes mistakes and I appreciate any feedback the community might have.

Would she not get a visa to come back because of this? Even though it is not a conviction or a felony? Anyone been through this before?



She sounds like a lovely girl. Have you taken her home to meet your Mom yet? Or maybe....ONM.

I live in Vermont, but hey, I here that things are booming in Utah, maybe you will consider living there.

There are several questions in the forms that ask if you have ever been "arrested for..." her answer is a resounding YES!!!!!!!! You will need to have copies of all the court documents, arrest documents etc. Did her mug shot turn out good? So get all those things together as you will need them throughout the process over the next couple of years.


This situation will require lots of paper work! blink.gif
