K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestravel after NOA2 but before interview?

Not at all.  In fact it should help the interview because one of the things you need to establish is a genuine relationship.  What better thing to show than shopping for your marital home together in the US?  Give her copies of the docs generated by the real estate agent to show at the interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOVERTY GUIDELINES-COMBINING INCOME W/ FIANCE

Assets, even if they consider them, have to be YOUR assets.  They have mechanisms in place to detect things like a sudden $100,000 boost in your bank account that is not your money.

 

It does not take all that much to get yourself at the required 125% mark.  $19k and change will do it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDelaying K1 Issuance

Technically your NOA2 expires in 4 months.  Usually they will extend it for you, but don't assume they will do it automatically.  If you want to be sure you need to ask and give good reason.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFear for my fiance in Ukraine

It can't hurt to try.  Maximum loss is the time and expense of one phone call.  So give it a shot.

 

In the interim, she should go to a safe city, keep a low profile and don't argue with anybody.  Let the time pass quietly.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance Letter of Intent

If you fail to include the fiance letter of intent, you will get an RFE.  Wait for the letter and send it with the rest of the stuff.  Your fiance does not need to author it; you can do so as long as he/she signs it.

 

I authored Candy's letter of intent and emailed it to her.  She printed it and mailed it back to me along with whatever else she needed to sign.

 

Black ink is fine.  Candy used black ink and nobody ever questioned it.

A 1040 needs a W-2 to support it.  Otherwise you can get a blank 1040 and fill in your own numbers.  As long as you have the W-2s to support the 1040s, you will be fine.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarijuana arrest

The issue is not how big of a deal it is to the Jamaican government or to the individual US State governments.  The issue is how big of a deal it is to the US Federal goverment, and to them it is a big deal.  WIth marijuana, it will not necessarily knock him out of the box, but it will complicate things.  I suggest a drug counseling evaluation that he bring to his medical exam, hopefully showing no marijuana in his system and a clean life.  They will probably delay him for a while, maybe 6 months to a year and mandate drug tests before they issue the visa.

 

Whatever you do, DON'T lie about it.  That is visa fraud and a lifetime ban.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview

Don't emphasize that you want to work in the US and help your family.  Makes it sound like that is the reason you want to go there. 

 

You want to go there because you love him.  Wanting to work and help your family is noble and nothing wrong with it, but that is not why you want to go there.

 

For example:  Q:  Do you love him?  A:  Yes, very much.  Q.  Do you intend to work in the US?   A:  Yes because I dislike being idle when I can be productive and generate income for my life with my fiance as well as for my family in the Philippines.

 

Always tell the truth as one single lie can get you denied, but remember your top reason for wanting to move to the US is to marry your fiance and to live your life with him.  If that is not the reason, then honestly you should not be getting married anyway.

 


Al422MalePhilippines2014-09-24 23:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes the intent to marry have to be original signature?

Everyone says submit the original, which I'm sure is correct.  However, I submitted a copy of the original of my fiancee's signature.  I printed it on a high-qualify color printer though and it was really hard to tell whether it was an original or a copy.  They accepted it. But I did have my fiancee mail me the original right afterwards just in case we got an RFE for it.

FOIA is not something explained in emails. A FOIA is filed and submitted. Forms are found online.

 

You won't get CO notes in an email.  File a FOIA so will know what went wrong for  your next filing.

 

An attorney AND a senator may get an answer if they inquire on your behalf. Long shot.

 

 

yes i know FOIA is written and submitted and my senator is already looking at my case

Hi @cabrera7186 that's what happen to us, we when to the interview and it was a black lady in window #20 and she interview us and she have a kind of aggressive maner asking question to my boysfriend back and forward up and down after 15 minutes she say have sit she will call us again ,then they interview us separate after that she call us again and Hand out a white piece of paper saying that the visa been refuse under section 221g and that the case will be send it back to uscis for reaffirm we been waiting since march and til now I receive and email saying that they have the case ,because we are planning to get married next month and apply for i130 but now I don't know what to do

 

thats more then 90 days like they said it takes 60 to 90 days to send back to uscis i am going to contact my congressman or senator for this case because i am fighting this one there is no way im letting them get away with this just because they assume we were related that is just some bullshit on there part i want to get married but to start another process just because they dont believe it thats crazy 


I have a feeling that's the same CO that denied us the first time.

 

you applied as a k1 visa the first time was it a guy or women

we aren't related in anyway possible if a DNA is what they want that is what they will get and right now to start another process and wait another extra 8 months to a year just because the CO believed that we are related is ridiculous he never asked for any proof once or ever just the pictures we answered the questions the same

So they actually told you the reason?   Some people I read here were not given a reason for denial.

 

all they said that they didn't believe our relationship was real 


acabrera7186FemaleDominican Republic2014-08-28 08:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdenied visa now trying to appeal

Cannot appeal.

 

 

umm yes it can i just dont know how to start this process 


 

ook thanks


were you denied?

 

when a K-1 is denied, I think it depends on the reason, it is sent back to USCIS office that processed the case because the consulate's office does not have the authority to completely deny 100%. they send it back with a recommendation to deny. if the petition doesn't expire in the meantime, the USCIS office will review the petition again and make a decision, they can either approve and send back to the embassy for a second interview, or send you the motion to deny/revoke and you can appeal that. then their either send it for a second interview or send you the official denial. let me see if I can find a post on it. what was the reason for your denial?

 

they thought we was family

However, with the high cost of medical services in the US, you will probably save many hundreds of dollars getting them done before you leave.

 

You can't do them before the medical exam because the doctor doing the exam is the one who decides which ones you need.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 employment requirement

It does not have to be earned income, as long as it is income officially in your name.  For example, gifts from relatives will not do, but if you are a recipient of a government program that pays you a certain amount each month or year or whatever, that does count (in other words money you are entitled to).  And if your total income from all sources exceeds the 19k and change, you are in.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCalling card records

Copies of the calling cards is of minimal help since it does not show who you actually called.  If that is all you have, then add a letter explaining who you called (your fiance I presume).

 

Better choice is to look on the website of the calling card vendor and see if they have a record of who you called..

 

My wife and I hardly called each other before her visa.  We used Skype mainly and Yahoo Messenger secondarily.  So I really did not have phone records for them.  Instead I gave transcripts of my Skype and Yahoo logs.  They worked just fine.

I think the worst you are looking at is an RFE.  They will ask for the missing info, you give it to them, and problem solved.  And they may even decide the photos are unnecessary and approve you anyway.

 

So no worry, not a big problem.
