If I enter on the K-3 visa which is soon due for interview and decide to Adjust Status and not return to the UK for the I-130 interview. What is the latest time you can inform NVC that your adjusting status???

I'm only at the DS-3032 so I just want to be prepared.

Thanks

DS-230 is not applicant specific.
You download it here:

Just make sure that you send it along with your bar code sheet.



I have no barcode sheet, I only know that I am due to send because of my case status update.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPossibly Missing Documents
Hey all, its been a while since I was posting here.

I requested a case status update via post from the NVC and received back today that they are awaiting the I-864 & DS-230. My wife in USA received the I-864 forms last week but as yet I have not got anything.

Is the DS-230 applicant specific or can I just download this form and return it? and if it is specific, is it possible these documents have got lost in the post??

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it ok to get married while filing the I-129F???

I am sure almost every single person here did not get to marry according to their plans or what their dream was. We all have to follow the visa process and change our plans accordingly. We have all had to wait an obscene amount of time before we could be with our loved ones. There are those here who have had to wait for almost 2 years from the start of the visa process, and there are those who are still waiting.

If you want to get married in Cambodia, then a K-1 is not for you. A K-1 is the visa option for those who intend to marry in the United States.

Don't make any wedding plans until after you figure out your visa options, and then make your wedding plans according to the visa options, not the other way around. That's the reality if we want to marry a non-USC.


I suggest you get your USC and file the I-129F and hope its done in time for your wife to return with you.
Have a ceremony in Cambodia and then travel back to the US and have a legal wedding done. Problem solved.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDamn damn damn
After sending Packet 3 there is approx wait of 2 months before your interview. You could return packet 3 and still have your docs in time.

Thats what I did, it save more waiting later.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting my fiancee in the USA
POE is The point of Entry into the US. The time at which you are interviewed and you must prove you dont intend to remain in the States.

These are done when you disembark the plane except for in a few outbound airports. Dublin is one of these where you are interviewed prior to departure.

If your going to be denied entry it would be before the 20 hour round trip and you wouldnt lose your ticket if you went to the ticket desk before returning to the UK.

I have PM'd you also. Check ur messages.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting my fiancee in the USA
My K1 took 8 months and I virtually lived in America during my process entering and leaving every 90 days. They only got funny with me the final time i entered and said it was the last time I should try doing this. Maybe I just got lucky with my POE Officer, who know!! If your really worried try flying thru Dublin who have a POE in Ireland. AerLingus.com do great prices from Dublin to Chicago and Boston. RyanAir will get u to Dublin cheaply and if you are denied entry you can amend your International ticket for 30-45 euros to use at another time at the service desk.

Only problem is Ryanair will charge excess baggage on anything over 20KG. Hope this helps, if you want more info message me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTourist Visas
Im afraid you have to hope and pray that you can get your visa in time. US Immigration will not allow your fiance to enter on a tourist visa when you have plans to marry.

You could investigate to see if DCF is possible in Korea. That is faster but not available in all countries.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWork History
Do not worry about your current employment situation, I was unemployed too when I went thru the interview stage. It is your fiance that must prove their earnings and not yourself.

Remember to emigrate to the US you cant have a job in England anyway. There is no need to worry and the process from here is a simple one. All they will be wanting to check now is that you can prove your relationship is genuine and you will not be a public charge when you get there.

Good Luck and enjoy.
