K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Income tax return	Hi! Everyone! Im new in this site. I will have my interview on monday. January 28 at the us embassy manila for k1 visa. The recent income tax return of my fiance is 2011, but i have his employment certificate just this january 2013. I still dont have the income tax return of 2012 because my fiance said that they file it last week of january. His income tax returns were filed every february of the year. For those who had their interview this jan 2013, did the consul ask you for 2012 income tax return? Ur replies are greatly appreciated. Thank u	Irah	Female	Philippines	2013-01-24 02:05:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	CEAC	First of all I must say once upon a time this site use to be so active and informative, I mean any question you have the answer would be here but I have come to realize that the site has changed drastically. People hardly post on here any more and very few people give their input on topics. I hope all the members that use to be on here will continue the journey because there are new members that will rely on this site during their journey.     I have looked on here to see if anyone posted a time frame on how long it took for them to see changes on the CEAC site but there is no time line to follow.I know everyone situation is different but can you guys regardless of your individual situation put a time line of how often you checked your status on the CEAC site and how often it changed.     Thanks	Extreme happiness	Female	Jamaica	2013-11-18 15:57:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	refusal notice . I'm not happy	So what is the difference between a co sponsor and a joint sponsor. Because joint mean together? I don't get it. I'm going off the 864 requirements  The I 864 is the guide line for the AOS...which require your income to be 125% above the poverty level...the I-364 on the other hand only require your income to be 100% above the poverty guideline so if you meet the 125% guideline then you should definitely be good to go for the I-134....I wish you nothing but luck and hope things work out for you...Please do not let all this negativity keep you down....As I always say fight to resolve the issue until there is nothing left to fight for.     BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY	Extreme happiness	Female	Jamaica	2013-12-04 08:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	refusal notice . I'm not happy	The OP came here because its a DIY forum..no one here profess to be exp. immigration attys however OP was getting responses from most ppl of her Embassy who had gone thru it, going thru or may have had a family member they knew that went thru the process. In Kingston they will take the  previous year, or she will need a co-sponsor.   Now being a novice myself I would say scan & email with an explanation to the embassy, she may get lucky to be called back (fiancé) look for a co-sponsor....these days its hard to get ppl signing to be partially responsible for  just a friend financially Finally she can go get married to the fiancé which I guess would add more time & money to the process.   There's just no reason for a person/s to be berated on a forum to help others, from time to time the embassy changes procedures so having many answers will get information to the individual if they may need an atty. Finally OP you should contact your Senators office , sign the info authorization form and the liasion there may get you some help   good Luck Lady.....Stay positive, its a pause not a period   Exactly my thoughts.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	refusal notice . I'm not happy	You know what are you a consular officer. It seem like u know everything there is to know about the steps an officer make when making a decision. Like i said if u don't have nothing nice to say, keep it moving. Obviously if you knew everything you would not bee on visa journey like the rest of us. Have you ever thought about that. Keep your comments to ur self if there not going to at least try and help make my situation better. Pleas do not comment on my post anymore because your not a positive person , ur just someone who does not give a dam about the bullshit that comes out of there mouth. Love this comment....so true	Extreme happiness	Female	Jamaica	2013-12-04 08:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	refusal notice . I'm not happy	I totally agree with ktichuszim.. Some of the members on here is so rude....the fact of the matter is that none of us are immigration officers or immigration lawyers and we all give a little advice or make comments base on our experiences....even though there are guidelines most people experience is different....and the fact that you are making a comment base on your experience doesnt mean you are wrong....i was wondering why the site was dying slowly but i came to realize that people might browse the site but refuse to comment because they fear being attacked...no one on here is here to see anyone fail because on top of the long wait...we all know how time consuming, nerve wrecking and extremely expensive this process is...so even if you dont agree with someone elses comments...post your own...leave the person to determine what route they choose to take and stop being so rude to others...
