K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFirst post! Please help :)
The most downtime is between the time you put the I-129 application and waiting for approval. That can take several months from 4 to 8 months. And yes she will need police records for all the places she lived from I believe age 16 and older when she goes for her interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresJust starting on K1
You don't need any lawyers - you can do this process with VJ help. Proof of meeting in the past two years are pictures. Make sure to send at least 5 or 6 pictures. Put the date on the back of the pictures along with the names of who are in the pictures. Make sure the pictures are of different settings.

Addtionally for proof of meeting: passport stamps, boarding passes, plane ticket, hotel bills, atm bills or any type of bills that show his presence in the Philippines.

The skype logs, email and phone bills are not proof of meeting. These are proof of an on going relationship. These also must be included.

You each need to fill out G-325 each and you have to sign yours. Also a letter of intent to marry him and signed by you is also an original signiture. And while you both are there, take out your passport pictures and make sure it is a white or off white back ground.

Wish you the best.

Wow that is very long. Is it for a K-1 visa?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStarting The Journey Soon...Advice?
Yes you each have to fill out a G-325. Take that down there when with him to sign it if you are going to visit him another time before you file. Also save any boarding passes, plane ticket, hotel bills, atm receipts that you have from Honduras within the past 2 years. I sent 6 pictures and was approved. At the back of the pictures put the dates and who is in the pictures. Make sure the pictures are a variety with the two of you in different settings and some with friends and relatives.

Also take his passport pictures when you visit him. follow the guides like you are doing. Also he has to sign the letter of intent to marry you as you get close to the time of filing. I wish you the best.

Write a simple letter to USCIS stating that the petitioner wishes to withdraw the petition and that the beneficiary will not be petitioning for the K1 visa at this point. Include a copy of the NOA1 so USCIS can tie the letter to your particular case.

They should reply with a confirmation - (Canceled/Withdrawn Without Prejudice.)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAfter NOA2
Your application will have to go to NVC then to the Ecuadorian embassy. Then depending on how booked up the embassy is for visa interviews it could take several weeks. Don't plan on booking tickets until she gets her approval.

From my NOA2 to her visa approval was 3 weeks. It was very fast.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresproblem with income tax return.

The tax return is typically not the most important item unless the sponsor is self employed. If self employed, the tax return is the only income used.

If your fiance is a wage/salary earner and his annualized earnings meet the requirement, then submitting recent paystubs and an employer letter ought to be ok. It is up to the interviewing officer to decide.

:thumbs: Exactly.

X FactorMalePhilippines2012-12-19 21:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about RFE
If it is just a missing signiture and checking off a box that is a minor RFE. After that is submitted, they will still have to make a decision on the approval. So the only thing you have to do is wait.

I also had a simple RFE. When I responded, within 2 weeks they made a decision and I was approved. Check my sigiture and/or timeline.

Passport stamps, atm recipts, restaurant bills. Anything besides a photo that put the two of you in the same country?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLive in the US and have questions about taxes
When you are an independent contractor you fill out a FORM Schedule C along with your 1040. If you claim less expenses, such as rent, internet, phone etc you will usually show a higher income, which means more taxes to be paid. So you are correct. If you earn 125% above the poverty rate for 2 then you should be fine. A tax planner could help you because you don't want to go way above what is required and pay unnecessary taxes.

Don't need that kind of proof. Only that you two met in person within the last two years.

Then at the interview proof of your personal relationship; the other family doesn't enter into it but evidence of their involvement can be used to support your relationship evidence.

You're sweating over nothing.

You are talking about evidence of meeting in the past 2 years? The passport stamps will be added evidence. Send the pictures and put the date behind and write who is in the pictures and where. What about boarding passes showing that you were there.
