National Visa Center (Dept of State)	Fiancee is 20, no mother,no father,no siblings	Hi Everyone, My fiancee is 20 and has no family. Her mother died when she was one month old and she has never met her father. She has no brothers or sisters. She doesn't have a guardian. She does have an aunt who doesn't care about her and an uncle who she sometimes sees but rarely. According to what I read on the US Embassy/Manila website anyone who is 20 or under needs either a parent or guardian to attend the interview with her. She does have an older cousin who she is close with. If this older cousin came with her to the interview would this be acceptable? Any insight or advise would be very much appreciated. Thanks.	anthill	Male	Philippines	2011-05-12 20:05:00

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	Qualified for I-864EZ but still used I-864	From what i understand the I-864EZ is only if you are using your current/past earned income to meet requirements. If you used the I864 it should be ok since it's the long version.	EMB & CEM	Female	Dominican Republic	2011-11-09 17:41:00

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	NVC EMAILS	I called them up everyday until i could provide them with my email address. If you included it in your petition they will enter it into the system, but when i called and they finally asked me for beneficiary info and petitioner info they asked if i wanted to include my email and I said yes. Then a two days later they started sending me emails with letters as attachments.	EMB & CEM	Female	Dominican Republic	2011-12-01 12:36:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)	NVC EMAILS	Hey guys, I just want to state how great it has been so far where the NVC emailed me as an attachment the Case Info letter, the AOS fees invoice and my husband (to my email) his DS3032 form. I checked online and the fee is now available for payment. This is so much better than waiting a week for the letters to come in the mail. I am super happy right now and hope things continue to move smoothly.	EMB & CEM	Female	Dominican Republic	2011-11-30 17:09:00

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	What`s up at NVC?? Why the files get stuck at NVC?	It took our case 2 weeks to get from CSC and put in the system at NVC and then it took 3 weeks to get from NVC to the consulate in Bucharest. (When I called I was told our petition was in additional processing) So it was a little over 5 weeks total from NOA2. Once our petition reached the consulate in Bucharest it went really fast. OMG !!...(( lately alot of files are in AP....	LK&MA	Male	Romania	2012-11-29 14:51:00

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	NVC is taking to long!!!!!	QUOTE (Giggles @ Oct 29 2009, 11:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My 'edit' button has disappeared so I can't edit my last post I mean you should go to the field office You can just call the customer service phone # for the NVC (be prepared to dial a few times because it's always busy). Make sure you speak to an operator since they don't enter the K-1s into the automated system. You'll need your USCIS case # from the NOA2, the petitioner's name and birthday, and the same for the beneficiary. They can at least tell you if the case has been received and if you're in AP.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Get married and leave	Hello friends, I am a regular visitor to this board as it is always informative to spend time here. Now I need some advice on an issue. My fiancé who is from India had received her Canadian permanent resident card about 2 and half months ago. She would like to come to the U.S on a visitor’s visa, get marry and then she would like to go back to Canada. I have been hearing from different people that it is not advisable to marry while one is in the U.S on a visitor’s visa. I want to know if it will still create issues if she goes back and lives in Canada while I file for her K3 visa petition so she can come back here in a year or so on an immigrant visa. I know K1 visa is another option but as she is studying in Montreal we just thought it would be a better idea to get married and file directly for K3 as both visas take almost same amount of time approximately. Another Question, is it really hard to get a U.S tourist visa for a recent Canadian PRs? Thank you in advanced for all your help and advice. TK	Tausif	Male	India	2008-12-19 21:54:00

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	SERBIA	@jelda, nema problema pitaj sve sto te zanima, imala sam iste dileme kao ti i zato sam lepo pozvala avio kompaniju, rekla im o cemu se radi i receno mi je da ponesem vrncani list, sto sam i uradila. Kada sam na aerodromu dosla do kontrole, ona je pogledala pasos i videla da se razlikuje na karti i u pasosu, rekla mi to i ja sam izvadila vencani list i pokazala. Proverila je sve na listu, zahvalila se i pustila me da prodjem.    Ja sam krenula sa procedurom u nasem konzulatu. Podnela sam dokumenta za prijavu braka dva meseca pred put (receno mi je da ce biti gotovo za najkasnije mesec dana), ali da u medjuvremenu moji roditelji odu do opstine i vide da li postojim u evidenciji. Oni su otisli i izdali su im moja dokumenta sa novim prezimenom. Bilo je potrebno da overim vencani list (Apostille), da prevedem dokument na srpski i prilozim sa ostalom dokumentacijom za prijavu braka i sve to podnesem u nasem konzulatu.      Ovo je lista dokumenata koji su mi bili potrebni za prijavu braka (proveri u svom konzulatu):   http://www.serbiacon...c.com/brak.html   Kada sam dosla u Srbiju, za pasos i licnu kartu mi je bio dovoljan taj novi vencani list. Nisu mi trazili nikakva dokumenta iz USA. Pored toga josi drzavljanstvo i izvod iz maticne knjige rodjenih sa novim prezimenom.  Uplatila sam u banci sve sto je bilo potrebno i dobila pasos za 48h.    Takodje se nikada nisam odjavljivala sa svoje adrese, niko me za to nije ni pitao, niti ih zanima.    Edited by Klaxi, 10 June 2014 - 01:31 PM.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	SERBIA	Meni je to rekao konzul, da kupim kartu na devojacko, ali s obzirom da sam ja isla s jednim a vracam se sa drugim prezimenom, to bi bilo glupo. Onda sam zvala avio kompaniju i objasnila im, oni su proverili i rekli mi da samo ponesem vencani list. Kad smo na aerodromu prolazili kontrolu, zena mi je rekla da mi se ne slaze karta i pasos i ja sam joj dala vencani list na uvid i sve je proslo ok. Sad se vracam sa novim prezimenom i nece biti problema, sve mi je na isto ime i prezime, juhuu... Koji teret mi je pao s ledja	Klaxi	Female	Serbia	2014-06-06 15:51:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	SERBIA	Pozdrav svima,   Ja sam kroz ceo proces oko dobijanja verenicke vize prosla pre oko 3.5 godine. Gledajuci sa ove vremenske distance, moje iskustvo je bilo pozitvno, sve je islo kako treba i sada zivim u USA nesto duze od 3 godine. Znam koliko je proces dobijanja viza stresan, ali verujte, na kraju se sve to zaboravi...Zelim svima da sto pre dobiju zeljene vize... Razlog zbog kojeg vam se javljam danas je taj sto smo moj muz i ja odlucili da nakon 3 godine odemo u augustu u Srbiju. Znam da je o ovome vec pisano ranije na ovoj temi, ali me zanima vase misljenje i savet, ako je neko skoro prosao kroz ovo... Naime, posto sam dosla na verenicku vizu, imam pasos Republike Srbije na devojacko prezime, a Zelena Karta, kao i ID (sto je logicno) je na muzevo. Raspitala sam se da promenim pasos u ambasadi u Cikagu, ali sam taj proces predugo traje...Takodje sam cula da mogu da putujem sa ovim pasosom (na devojacko prezime), ali da obavezno ponesem Marriage Certificate. U tom slucaju bih trebala kupiti avionsku kartu na devojacko prezime, jer je to prezime iz pasosa. Bojim se da bi mi to po povratku u USA predstavljalo problem. Da li je neko od vas prosao skoro kroz ovo? Znam da je o ovome pisano ranije i zaista se izvinjavam zbog ponavljanja, ali jednostavno sam u dilemi sta uciniti. Svaki savet i iskustvo je dobrodosao... Zahvaljujem se unapred na odgovorima!   Pozdrav,   Jelena   Pozdrav Jelda,    Evo ja imam sveze informacije, a imala sam isti problem kao ti.  Sva dokumenta u USA su mi bila na novo prezime, a pasos na devojacko. Sada sam u Srbiji i evo kako sam uradila. Kartu sam kupila na novo prezime (iako mi je pasos na devojacko), jer sam odlucila da u Srbiji promenim sva dokumenta. Ne prave nikakve probleme zbog toga sto se karta i pasos razlikuju, samo moras obavezno da poneses vencani list sa sobom kao dokaz!   Zasto bi se nazad vracala sa starim pasosem? Zar ti nije lakse, kad si vec u Srbiji, da sve to promenis? Pasos se za nas koji dolazimo iz inostranstva dobija za 48h! Tako da ne moras da cekas kao ostali, vec sve to ide po hitnom postupsku.  Ukoliko te jos nesto zanima, slobodno pitaj.	Klaxi	Female	Serbia	2014-06-06 14:13:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	SERBIA	Hvala Sanja! Sad mi je lakse. Ja sam rezervisala kartu na novo prezime, a pasos mi je na devojacko. Sad mi je lakse kad cujem da si isla i ti tako i da nisi imala problema. Mi smo predali za promenu prezimena ovde, a u Srbiji cu ja da izvadim pasos, necu ovde da se cimam bez potrebe.	Klaxi	Female	Serbia	2014-03-10 07:56:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	SERBIA	Ja cu tek iduce nedelje da idem da prijavim brak pa cu videti koje papire ce mi uzeti, vencani list smo preveli i stavili apostil, verovanto ce poslati samo kopiju, nece nam uzimati original.   meni je konzul rekao da samo prijavim brak, a da putujem sa starim pasosem i u Srbiji vadim novi, ali imam isti problem, novo prezime na zelenoj karti, staro u pasosu, vodim dete sa sobom, kad budem isla tamo imacu jedno prezime, kad se budem vracala drugo u pasosu. Ma komplikovano.    Za sada nam je prvi korak da oni posalju sve papire za prijavu braka u Srbiju, onda moji roditelji idu u opstinu, uzimaju mi drzavljanstvo sa novim prezimenom i salju mi ubrzano da ja mogu da predam za pasos. Jos ne znam sta cu, jer planiram da putujem za dva meseca, pa ne znam sta mi je ciniti.    Citala sam malo na nekim forumima, kazu da zene godinama putuju sa starim pasosem i devojackim prezimenom, samo je bitno da kartu rezervises na to ime. Konzul mi je rekao da je moj pasos vazeci i da smem da putujem sa njim, ne vidi zasto ne bih mogla.	Klaxi	Female	Serbia	2014-02-14 16:33:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	SERBIA	Dobro dosla!Slobodno pitaj sve sto te zanima!:)p.s.mene zanima ko je menjao prezime kako je menjao dokumenta?     Pozdrav svima, bas me dugo nije iblo, nisam citala sve ali vidim da su neke devojke vec tu u USA, cestitam!!   Ja sam sad u proceduri menjanja pasosa zbog prezimena i mogu vam reci da mi je jako zao sto nisam zadrzala i samo dodala prezime mog muza. Sada moram milion papira da saljem, vracam, itd... Bolje da sam samo dodala prezime, onda bih bez problema mogla da se koristim starim pasosem.   Za pocetak mora da se prijavi brak u Srbiji, tako da ovde prevodimo vencani list na srpski, izvod iz maticne knjige rodjenih, drzavljanstvo i to se salje nazad u Srbiju, oni tamo izdaju novo drzavljanstvo sa novim prezimenom i salju u ambasadu u USA. Onda opet procedura za pasos sa svim novim dokumentima. bas ovih dana idem da odnesem sve za prijavu braka, pa cu vas obavestiti detaljno, koga zanima.  Edited by Klaxi, 12 February 2014 - 11:06 AM.

Mi smo u procesu od Novembra a u procesing time pise da je oko 5 meseci ali izgleda da to nije tacno i bas su ga usporili        Od trenutka kada su mi uradili Biometrics, cekala sam 11 meseci!    Slucaj mi je prebacen u Californiu, i to znaci da ako je tamo verovatno ces da se nacekas, a brze ces dobiti ako vas pozovu na intervju.

Ja sam za lastminute koristila Eurojet. Sve je proslo super.  A za odmor preporucujem Egipat, jer nigde ne mozes da dobijes taj kvalitet usluge i cene koju platis. I mi smo bili kad je bila malo zategnutija situacija u Egiptu, ali to se ne odnosi na odmaralista. Uplatis all inclusive i ne razmisljas o tome sta se oko tebe desava:)  Tu agenciju za Egipat ti necu preporuciti jer se ugasila nedugo nakon naseg odlaska (imali smo srece )    I bas si sad nasla da pravis zazubice sa odmorom Ja sanjam neku plazu, more, beli pesak... ehhh	Klaxi	Female	Serbia	2013-06-27 06:25:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	SERBIA	Iskreno meni je frka mnogo od intervjua jer oba puta kad su me odbili su me pitali da li mi je on decko ,ja sam rekal da nije,da je drug . Tako da ocekujem da ce zapeti kod toga i bice ono "kako to sad ste vereni a dva puta ste rekli da vam je samo drug",da li mogu da me odbiju zbog toga na intervju?   Aaa nista ne brini     I ja sam tako isla tri puta u USA, govoreci da mi je drug. I onda me na intervjuu pitao: a sta ste govorili kada ste dobijali turisticku vizu za USA, kod koga idete, ja rekoh: Kod druga.    On se ironicno nasmejao, ali ja sam rekla da se sve ovo izrodilo iz drugarstva... I to je to. Mislim da se nece na tom pitanju mnogo zadrzavati.	Klaxi	Female	Serbia	2013-06-27 06:13:00

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	SERBIA	Upravo sam videla da nam je prevodilac na racunu umesto verenicki preveo wedding rings. Mislim da je najbolje vec sad da proucavam proces bracne vize jer vise ne vidim izlaz iz svega ovoga. Bacila sam sav trud I novac za nista a najgore od svega vreme.     A na racunu pise vrenicki?? Jel to nesto sto nosis u ambasadu? Ako jeste, ne brini oni ce moci da upored racun na srpskom i na engleskom i da uvide da je to greska prevodioca.  To sto si uradila versku ceremoniju, to objasni da tako obicaji nalazu ... verujem da ce sve biti ok, nemoj bezveze da brines.      A sto se tice kuca, to je uzas kakve su cene, nema nista ispod pola miliona, a da je dobro. A da ne pricam da su mi kuce odvratne, montazne i nekako izgledaju fuj u odnosu na nase zidane, ali mora covek da se navikne i na to   Totalno drugi svet.	Klaxi	Female	Serbia	2013-06-19 07:47:00
