Smart casual. Leave the suit at home.


Absolutely disagree - what happened to standards???


Well, my now husband wore smart casual for his embassy interview. We've now been married more than 6 months, so I don't think his outfit made a whit of difference in whether or not the visa was granted.


Ive been twice and ive worn Jeans and a T-Shirt each time, havent noticed many suits when Ive been there.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresExtremely worried about visiting USA
I have a K-3 in process and was informed at POE that there was no possibility of entering the US as the I-130 is immigrant intent in itself. After applying for a visitor visa I was told exactly the same thing and that my spouse should visit me. I want to know how you got a visitor visa when you have a spousal visa.

Incidentally if you have a valid visa you should be allowed entry - bring proof of residence, employment and bank statements.
sassasdaveMaleEngland2006-02-07 10:48:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJust wondering if anyone out there has been in a similar situation
Hi Kelly,

I am in the exact same position as you after leaving the US in March 2006. I am now filing the I-130 and K-3 spousal visa.

I tried to enter on VWP but was denied at POE as the I-130 is classed as immigrant intent and it does not matter what proof you provide.

I would suggest that if you want your spouse to visit then do this before filing if possible and try to fly through Dublin or Shannon airport as POE is carried out in Ireland therefore if you are denied entry you dont have the agony of the 9 or 10 hour flight. The fact that a AP was not applied for does not help in your attempt to visit.

I was told that the USC should visit the UK.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMedical Completed
Hi all,

Just got back from doing my medical in London, bit upset that they have now changed the whole medical/interview process.

I originally got a K-1 in November 2003 and the process was all done on the same day - medical at 9am and then head for the embassy.

I live 5 hours from London and am exhausted and still have to go back for my interview(whenever that may be).

Okay, moaning over. Take care all.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresvisiting US while waiting for K3
I tried to fly thru Dublin while processing K3 and was denied. I provided all proof I could but was told with a spouse in the US it was against immigration law to let me enter.

Im not saying dont try but dont get your hopes up. Incidentally, when I was refused i was not put on a plane back home so the Canada entry maybe a good idea.

Hi all

I was notified today after only 3 weeks of waiting that my interview date is April 25th.

My question is can anyone tell me or does anyone know what is the latest time you can expect to be finished the interview. I am trying to arrange a flight back home and am hoping to be done by 3pm. My appointment time is 10:30am. I know its all estimating but any knowledge can help.

Thanks all

I am torn as to whether to delay the K-3 interview or tell them i wish to proceed with I-130 which was approved in march. Last week, my wife said she had received info, but i dont know what and that she was going to collect the information but still wasnt sure she wanted to be with me.

This is what has brought it to a head. I dont have an affidavit of support or I probably would go. I dont know if the K1 approval I got in November 2004 would help.

Thank you Euro for you thoughts. I have started research online but of course its only brief outlines. I will continue to try and resolve matters with her while also trying to get on with my own life.

Its just not that easy when she is 4000 miles away and doesnt have to answer her phone if she doesnt want to.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support
Hi all,

Having talked to my wife today she has said she cant stay married to me. I know this is the wrong site to be posting this kind of thing but i dont know where else to go. I need help so I'll give the background.

I originally entered the US on a K-1 visa in November 2004 after selling my house and quitting my job. I got married to my USC wife in February 2006 but not long after following a huge fallout between her and her mother(whom I was to be employed by) she told me I should return to the UK to work until she was sure she could be married to me.

I did not have AP and eventually my wife filed the I-130 in September 05. We are now only a week away from the K-3 interview and my wife has told be she does not want to be married. She has always had insecurities about being married and the responsibilities that go along with it and even had some counselling about her anxiety.

I do not want to lose her but at the moment it sounds like I have no chance. I have been living with my sister in the UK for the past 13 months working temporary jobs every now and then to keep money coming in. I do not have a lot left and now have no house. She is now talking about divorce and I would like to know what the process is in America if she does file??

Thank you

Hi

I am due for my K-3 interview soon and my wife is unhappy about the Affidavit of Support. She has been in bad relationships and is worried about how long she is expected to support me if all goes wrong when i get to America. Does anyone know what the timeframe is for Support so I can give her the facts?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 or I130
My I-130 is approved already, do I have to notify anyone I want AOS or do I just carry on and ignore the I-130?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F mailed on January 27, 2006
You should have received NOA1 with your case number. NOA2 could take up to 3 months.
sassasdaveMaleEngland2006-04-22 17:46:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhats the best forms to file
File the I-130 first and when you receive your NOA1, then file the I-129F spousal visa.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCR1 or AOS
I dont really have time to go thru the whole pros and cons but essentially the AOS process allows you to be re-united with your wife quicker whereas the CR-1 is easy to enter the US as you will have Green Card and employment status not long after arrival.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTime it takes to get NOA1 for form I-129F
Please create a timeline for yourself as the stats on this site work from them. It allows others to see how quickly processing is taken.

In my experience it normally takes 1-2 weeks to receive NOA1

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFiling K3 while on holiday
You cannot file for a K-3 visa until you are married. You can apply for a K-1 fiance visa while you are on vacation but must return to SA while it is processed.

Alternatively, you can wait until your married and file the K-3 visa application. Either way you have to wait in South Africa until it is approved.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHad K-1 visa, now married and filed K-3
Not exactly the same but I got a K1 visa and entered the US but left without AP. I had to refile all the paperwork again - medicals and other documents are good for one year, so if you have done them you wont have to again. Unfortunately it doesnt speed up the process.

Sorry.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 - CR1
I am assuming that the timelines for IR-1 and K-3 are still quite similar so I guess Ill save some money and just go the I-130 route.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 - CR1
The previous K3 has expired and we have to re-file.

My query was to know whether an I-129F HAS to be filed concurrent with the I-130.
