K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNVC
NVC just forwards the information to the consulate and issue a NVC#. You can call after one week of the NOA2 for your NVC number. Each consulate has their own methods on how to proceed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE No Special Return Envelope
I did not receive an envelope too. But I mailed it and tracked it in a regular envelope

When responding to a Request for Evidence it is extremely important that you place the blue coversheet on the top of the response you send to them. The VSC/CSC receives thousands of pieces of correspondence each day, if the blue coversheet is not on the top of the response it will be placed in “general” correspondence and NOT sorted as a priority, which may delay your case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCo-Sponsor

As per the embassy's reply to me a few months ago, you can use a "credible" co-sponsor (I believe they like to see it be a close family member who would have a compelling reason to support you/your fiance if necessary). When my fiance had his interview, I had a co-sponsor and the embassy would not consider it, but it was not a family member of mine, so that seemed to be the problem.

Best of luck! :)

Hi lalalove
No you do not have to register online. When you are ready to submit all of your paperwork to Haiti Messenger they will tell you when to come back and pickup your interview date.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134

Our case has been forwarded to the embassy and I'm guessing we'll have an interview in about a month. 2 weeks ago we received our NOA2 and I went ahead and got a letter of employment, and all of my pay stubs from Sept.-March 1. Can I go ahead and send this to my fiancé, and subsequent pay stubs scanned and sent via email, or screen shots of my bank transactions that show direct deposits from my company ? I should only get a couple more before her interview (I haven't got by the office yet to get my most recent one from March 15)

Yes right before the interview gather the current pay stubs, scan them and send to her.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChanging name on ss card

Thank you for the replies. Two more questions:
1) I should wait until she has her green card before we go back to SS to change her name on the card, or can we do that before she files for AOS?
2) Is there a form that we need to fill out at the SS office in order to change her name?
Thank you...

Use the same form that you originally applied for the SSN for the name change. I was told by the social security agent after he spoke to his supervisor that I needed to bring the GC along with marriage license to get the name change for the SS card.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAbout to send off I-129F and have some final questions

I meant the affidavit that Rascal proposed, consisting of a friend or family vouching for us having met.

Not sure about that. But it would be more official and weighty if it is notorized.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAbout to send off I-129F and have some final questions

Does the affidavit need to be notarized or anything like that, or should I simply follow your template there?

Also, I don't have any plane ticket stubs because we've never flown to see one another. I always just drive. I suppose we could explain that in a letter.

Also, thanks for the advice, Hikergirl!

No the affidavit of support is not needed to be notarized.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPotential Red flags for K1 application?

I don't see those things as red flags. If she wanted to immigrate illegally, she could have come on a tourist visa and stayed... either through overstaying or finding a guy here and AOSing.. I don't think she will be seen as a problem. The world is small, that fact that she met a guy in the same country where she was offered a job is relatively unimportant, in the red flag scheme of things.

I would believe you're ok.

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134

You only need a letter from the bank if you are trying to use savings as your proof of support. We didn't even include any screen shots of bank account at all.


If your income is over the requirements then you do not need to provide any bank information at all, just your income information, pay stubs, 3 years tax returns, letter from employer ( optional ) etc. Most embassys follow the guides for the 864 do not forget. So you will want 3 years of tax returns.

Exactly. We never submitted any bank information

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 to Spousal Visa

You're already almost 2 months ahead with K1 petition. If you'll get married, depending on how soon you could fly to the Philippines to get license, arrange the marriage, wait for the marriage certificate and register at NSO. With I-130, you'll pay another fee and you'll start from day one.

Good luck!

Exactly. By the time the wedding is done and you file you will have had 5 months from the end of January. So stick to the K-1 at this point if you want your loved one to be over here expediently.

You might have better luck with the Cr1 with a co sponsor, go back and get married. Some countries do not allow the k1 to have a co sponsor( It states they do but routinely denied in countries like Vietnam). Best of luck.
