It depends on the consulate. The Philippines uses DS-156K too, but we bring everything to the embassy on day of interview. Do you have the packet instructions from the embassy yet?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould I File now?

Update your timeline huh. :bonk: :P :jest:

You actually beat your estimate, and you were at VSC. :wow:

OP, I agree with the others. Of course, the more time one is with another, it can strengthen a case, but the only requirement is to have met at least once in that 2 years prior to filing. I don't see a problem with one visit.


I have tried to but VJ website won't allow me. I recently have a new windows operating system and when I try to go to the dropdown menu it quickly takes me to my profile and won't allow me to access my timeline.

No you don't need to make another trip. I applied after one trip and I just got my NOA2 a few days ago. As long as your relationship is valid and you have proof of your visit you should be fine. I applied within one week after I visited.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAfter K-1 Approved?

Just wondering that after the interview and everything and your k-1 visa gets approved, how long do they give you to move to the USA? Do you have to move instantly over there or do you have a couple of months?

Thanks :)

Usually K-1 visa is valid 6 months from your medical for you to leave. And 3 months after arrival to get married.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEAC reciept number, form i-797?
EAC mean it is being reviwed by VSC and under review means they will be processing it within the waiting period. If there are no RFE then you should be approved within several months.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresprevious refusal at PoE

Hi everyone, back in February I tried to go visit Keri after I've quit my job to bring her my belongings since I would not need it (I was going to live at my mother's place while I wait for my visa). My father passed away several weeks before that happened and I came back to my home town to accompanied my mom. Bringing my stuff then would simplified things since I would be able to take the plane when everything is finish instead of doing the whole ride again. Let me add here that my stuff fits into a corolla without a trailer or anything. Back then, our petition was not yet filled. Once I arrived at the PoE the agent did not felt comfortable to let me pass as I had quite some stuff with me. I told them the story I just wrote here and they just let me go on my way back.

Would this pose any problem on our petition at any point?

Thanks guys :)

From what you describe, it shouldn't

Yes there are hundreds and hundreds of pages. I am planning of copying to a word document and printing out the page summary of each session that shows how much time each session lasted. Then the rest of the pages I will save on a memory stick and mail to her to bring to embassy to show if needed. It is just too much to print every single page.

Sad as it may seem but you have no choice on where to send your application. After you send your application to Dallas Lockbox, they will be responsible as to where they will send it. Either Vermont or California.

First thing to do is jump for joy. I like the name Tintin my favorite as a child :thumbs: :thumbs:

Once you have your MNL # you can take your passport and required visa fee (in Php) to BPI and pay your visa fee. The embassy website states that within 4 hours of paying at BPI you can schedule your interview appointment but most times it seems to take about 24 hours.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMajor Money Order Question!!

I don't use money orders often, but when I have, I always signed it just as I would a check. Normally, it is required to sign it and there is line of something. Checks have a line to sign, and even mine don't have anything written next to it like 'Signature'. I don't know what kind of conflicting information you are getting from USCIS. I don't want to suggest something that might mislead you, but I have never heard of anything telling me I shouldn't sign a money order. I used a check in this case. Sorry.


You've never signed the front of a money order like you would a check?

If there is a place on the front, then yes like a check, but not the back.

No. The person to whom the M.O. is made out signs the back of it. In this case the USCIS will put a stamp on the back.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures1-134 bank statement requirements

OK, I went to my B of A to get the requested information for the 1-134. I handed him a request for the date my act. was opened, total amount deposited for the past year and present balance, no problem, I would have the information in 2-3 days, cost $20 per hour, 1 hour minimum.
Well I got the stuff today, I got a bank statement for 1 month! Nothing else. Can anyone tell me what it took to get the required information? Go to the bank, call the customer service? Banks now days have very few people actually working in them so I'd appreciate any suggestions. :bonk:

Do you have pay stubs for the past several months? And your tax return and latest W2. This is much more current. Also do you have bank statements for the past 6 or so months. I won't sweat it by getting the one year totals. At least for the Philippines they accept what I mentioned in the first 2 sentences.

I guess you didn't like the answers that you got when you asked in the previous 3 threads. As you know there is no cure for chronic hepatitis B once infected. However, there are medicines that can help manage the disease. You should ask your medical professional for advice on what medicines would work best for you. Take care of the Hepatitis and keep it under control that is your most important task. Then go to the interview and anwer honestly that you have it medically under control.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNewbie with some minor questions

#1- No not essential. If you send it USPS, make sure you get the receipt to prove it was delivered. You want to be able to track your package.

#2- Ongoing relationship evidence is not required for the I-129F petition. It typically is given at the consulate during the K1 interview.
For the I-129F, you have to prove the meeting face to face within last 2 years. The best evidence is your passport entry and exit stamps, boarding passes for those trips, several photos of you two together over different days. (3 in the same day Posted Image), copies of your hotel receipts do not have to be translated. The receipt should have your name on it along with the name of the establishment and the dates you stayed there. If you have credit card receipts showing that you paid for that hotel on those dates would be additional evidence also.
If you have this evidence, you will be fine.
Good luck
P.S. many people talk about sending in all this evidence with the I-129F petition. Most of those needing to do so typically are going through high fraud consulates. They want to make sure there evidence is attached to their petition. This is not the case for every single I-129F petition. Argentina is a straight forward process. Read reviews for the consulate here.. Learn how to search out the information that is going to help youPosted Image

:thumbs: And make 2 duplicates of everything you sent. One you will send to your fiancee when going to the interview and one you keep for yourself incase of lost mail.
