I don't see how that could hurt - it actually shows he knows your family, which my attorney said was beneficial and I have to agree with the "high fraud" country statement - UK is not that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of support info
QUOTE (Willow2009 @ Jan 5 2009, 05:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi,

I have been living in Romania with my fiance for the last 11 months and therefore I do not have a job in the US anymore (at least not until I return). I need information regarding what to do to satisfy the Affidavit of Support section of this process. He has been approved and a few days ago we have received the paperwork from the American Embassy from Bucharest. Next step is gathering all the required paperwork and not sure what to so about the I-134. Put zero for my income? Find a co-sponsor?
Thanks for all your help.


looks like co-sponser it is!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhen does the Conditional Green Card comes?
We got his green card after six weeks.
As for the social security card, that's another story. We signed the DS-230 to have it automatically applied for but we never got it. We too went to the SS office and the lady told us that he had not been put into the system. We had to order his at the SS office, and he got it about 14 days later.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresinpreparation for NOA2
I am preparing my next set of papers too (though I am still waiting for the NOA2...)

From what I can see, you don't need your fiancee's birth certificate, however I am going to send my certificate and my fiance's just to be on the safe side. They don't say NOT to send it, and I am trying to be really thorough smile.gif

Hope that helps!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresaddresses

You can absolutely use another more-stable address where you are able to receive mail. I worked abroad for a handful of years, and used a close friend's.

No one will be paying you a visit there. And if they do, I'd run and hide because the Men In Black Suits have come to take you away --

Yep. Let's keep the recreational vehicle thing between us. Not something we want to share with the USCIS or DoS!


LOL very funny but informative reply!!!

thank you very much

the interview???

thanks

P.S.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCongressman San Francisco?
Laura & Ciprian

I did the same my dear after my initial petition. I contacted both Congress and the Senate. It's hard being away from the one you love and trying to get it done the right way seems even more difficult. I explained my intentions and signed a statement authorizing my Congressman to contact the Embassy and USCIS on my behalf. I have no problem following the rules but some of the practices in place are pass ridiculous. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRound trip ticket for arrival to US?
No worries my dear! I'm an airline employee and I travel international ALL the time. They normally ask the purpose of your trip and how long you were abroad. When she replies "I'm getting married" that should be the end of Q&A. Tickets and reservations are "above their pay grade" lol!! :-) Congratulations to you and your bride!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe fiance ask to not file anymore?
No, my fiance' has not changed his mind but I am not surprised he is reconsidering. Keep in mind this is a huge transition for him and having "cold feet" is something we could all understand. I am acutely aware that leaving Ghana will not be easy for my fiance' as well. He is very close to his family and friends and it will be difficult leaving home. I think you should give him some time to think about it and ask God for patience & strength to handle whatever the "final answer" will be.


All the best to you! :-)

Akwaaba*EdwardFemaleGhana2013-01-29 18:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhy did you file a K-1 over a CR-1?

We decided on K1 because I wanted my fiance' to meet my family before getting married. The K1 and marriage seems about the same to me as it relates to the processing time. However, a huge myth is that marriage means approval and it does not my dear.  Many CR-1 visas are denied as well. Our K1 was approved in Ghana in Jan 2013 and our "saving grace" was God and lots of evidence to support the petition. I truly believe it's as simple as what works best for you.

 

God bless you on this journey!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP PLZ!!! K1 DEADLINE PROBLEM

Your cousin should join VJ and get the info for our consulate for K-1. Lets start with did they complete the DS-230 and e-mail it to the embassy? Once the interview is assigned, then you no longer have to worry aout K-1 expiring. Have your cousin e-mail the embassy for the interview letter, so that medical appointment can be scheduled. Also look at our consulate section, that tells you what to do for K-1.

You cousin needs to work on getting non-impediment cert and police cert now.



thanks

is too early to start making comparisons, our process is new and we have a lot of faith that things will turn out well, we ARE REALISTIC and why we fought this long to get to this point, and we are sure that if satisfied USCIS officials with relevant evidence we will reach the goal, we can not just sit and do nothing because the cousins ??did not have the strength to claim their rights, anyway prefer real experiences and experiences that have our same line because we started with the best of expectations.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressame sex K-1 visa

Lawyers have no idea how it works since the matter isn't settled into law yet.  All we know is they are accepting the petitions.  These are being treated the same as opposite-sex couples, and this states' rights aspect is an issue for opposite-sex couples.  I don't know why same-sex couples would be treated different than others.

 

The cousin case seems extremely applicable, to me.  Federally, some states allow it and these couples can get federal immigration benefits.  But, they cannot get these benefits if they live in a state that does not allow cousin marriages.

 

I just see many people in this process get unrealistic expectations, then they are devastated when things don't work out according to plan.  You are all going to be guinea pigs, as it were, and we don't know yet how it will be.  I hope it will be easy and not a problem, but I would prepare for a few bumps down the line.  You even thought an NOA1 meant no RFEs...  Imagine the devastation you'd have when you got one six months from now...

 

 

can be solved accompanying documents showing plans to marry in a state that permitting such an appointment to get everything in order, maybe air ticketing to the state where you are getting married and maybe a reservation of hotel etc. ... federal laws take precedence over any state decision....

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat is the next step after the I 130 is approved?
The I 824 was filed after. I came to Canada for what I thought a quick visit. We had only just sent in the I 130, and because we didn't know anyhting about the Process (still don't really) I didn't realize what a huge mistake that would be. I was denied going back. When he got the approved I 130 in the mail, they said I had 30 days to take it to the closest Consulate in the US. We had to file the I 824 because I am no longer in the US. We didn't do a Fiancee Visa, we just didn't know about it when we got married. He got notice that they recieved the I 824 and that is where we are at now.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow many Birth Certificates and Divorce Certificates will I need?
A certified copy:

For example. For my Birth Certificate I will have to contact Montreal (where I was born) and have another copy of my Birth Certificate sent to me.

For my Divorce records I will have to go down to the Courthouse and get copies for my Marriage Certificate and Divorce Certificate.

You can't just photocopy the Certificates and send them in if they want Originals.
MissStaceyFemaleCanada2006-12-05 17:41:00

So when I have to send in my package with the Originals of both Certificates, will they have them when I go for my Interview and then exchange them for the copies? If I have to get extra originals, I want to do that ASAP so I have them ready to go.
MissStaceyFemaleCanada2006-12-05 13:36:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow many Birth Certificates and Divorce Certificates will I need?
I was reading the guides about sending in the package and going for the Interview. Both need Original Birth Certificates and I believe original Divorce Certificates (not copies) I'm assuming when you send in your package, those are kept? Between contacting Montreal to order more Birth Certificates and going to the Courhouse to get more Divorce Certificates (I only have one of each right now) How many should I get of each now, so down the road I am not having to get more?

I was denied trying to go back the US. We had our I 130 pending at the time. I got pulled into a room, questioned, fingerprinted,etc. I was told I am not legal to enter the US without a Visa. I am an Intended Immigrant and not a Tourist anymore. We are currently waiting for our file to be sent to a US Consulate in Canada. I made a HUGE mistake taking that trip. I am now flagged in the system. It makes me feel like I'm some kind of Criminal.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI need help with my situation!
Yes. I was in the US when we filed the I 130. That is why I thought I could make a quick trip to Canada. Nothing had been approved or denied and I thought I would be fine to return. I learned my lesson. I had been told by someone (can't remember who, I've tried talking to so many people) that because I was no longer in the US when my I 130 was approved, that my I 130 might become null and void and we would have to start over. That is another reason my husband had a Consult with an Immigration Attorney. But now the I 824 has been sent and we are justing waiting to find out what happens next.

The I 130 and the I 824 are the only forms we have done and submitted.

When Mel filled out the I 824, he was allowed to make 2 choices of which US Consulates the file would go to. He chose Calgary and Vancouver. I don't think the Calgary office handles very much of this kind of thing. Which is too bad, it is fairly close. I am in Edmonton. So I really have no idea at this point where my file will go. I only know my Interview will be in Montreal.
