K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	texaslock box	You should be fine. The government finds a way to accept any money . But for tracking purposes a check is a better way because you can track when it clears your bank and know for sure that they recieved your application.	X Factor	Male	Philippines	2012-03-08 11:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can you get a new job while the 129f is being processed	Yes. The G-325a needs to be accurate WHEN YOU SIGN IT. Changes after that need not be reported Absolutely true. If you find a better job to better yourself jump on it	X Factor	Male	Philippines	2012-03-12 20:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	A few final questions before I send off I-129F packet	Looks like you are on track. You may want to pay by personal check so that you can see when your check clears which will let you know that your application was received and is being processed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Emigrating Airline deals??	Usually the best prices are found on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This is when the airlines place their deals and the other airlines usually match. Check on websites like Cheapoair.com. Also book your flight about 4 weeks in advance on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Avoid booking on holidays. I did this for my fligh to the Philippines and got a great deal for this past January 10th. If you choose too close to your targeted date you will pay more and if you book too far ahead you will also pay more. To get an idea of what the prices are just daily monitor the prices from www.Cheapoair.com. Play around with the dates you wish to travel and you will see what I mean. Then you have something to compare to.	X Factor	Male	Philippines	2012-03-15 19:23:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Declaration of how you met. Question 18 of 129F	How does this look? It says on the guide on this site to attach a sheet for this answer and refer to it, so I guess it's acceptable to not be able to get it all in the box?! Myself (Jasmine ***) and Antonio *** met on June 27th 2010 when both of us attended the Vans Warped Tour music festival in Ventura. (See REF1 Included in this package) February 16th 2011, I flew to the UK to stay with Antonio until March 9th 2011 (See REF2) We decided to extend my stay and my return flight was altered to March 29th 2011 (See REF3) June 14th 2011, Antonio flew to Los Angeles, CA to stay with me until June 21st before leaving to tour. (See REF4) June 29th 2011, I travelled to Las Vegas, NV to meet Antonio on the tour for two days. (See REF5) August 16th 2011, Antonio stayed with me at the end of the tour before returning to the UK on August 19th 2011. (See REF4) October 6th 2011, Antonio flew to Los Angeles, CA to stay with me for 90 days, returning to the UK on January 3rd 2012. (See REF6) January 23rd 2012, Antonio flew to Los Angeles, CA to stay with me for 4 days before leaving to tour. (See REF7) February 18th 2012, Antonio stayed with me for 11 days at the end of the tour before returning to the UK on February 29th, 2012. (See REF7) Still overkill. But if you have boarding passes, tickets etc of each of dates shown above then that should be good.	X Factor	Male	Philippines	2012-03-19 12:25:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	New Application, with thanks to VJ	My fiancee and I became engaged last month, before her return to Portugal; tomorrow morning, May 7, I'll be mailing the application to the USCIS as soon as the Post Office opens. If it hadn't been for us finding this site, we would've had a lot more trouble figuring out what we needed to have, how to assemble it, and everything else. I'll admit I'm feeling nervous with the process now going into hands not my own, but hopefully she'll be home for good before 2013. So - thank you to everyone who helpfully set up an example form on the site here, and everyone who already asked the questions we ourselves had! This would have been a much rougher experience without your information to show us the way. -K Yes VJ is an invaluable service for many of us. I wish you the best on your journey.
