K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVisa for Us Citizen visiting manila 4 months

 

Your fiance can book his flight for returning in 4 months (or whatever is the length of stay).  When he is clearing customs have him ask for an extension they will stamp his passport for  59 days (for a fee of course).  Then as the 59th day is drawing close he needs to head over to BI office and do another extension.

Hank is spot on, but I will add. When I cleared customs two weeks ago, he gave me a visa good for 1 year. Turns out that is standard for spouses.

 

I know you guys are talking about single people, but it's something I did not know.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOriginal Statements of intent to marry Questions

I am starting the K-1 process for my novia who lives in Colombia. I downloaded the example of the "Original Statement of intent to marry" but I am confused about how to fill it out. I understand that I need one filled out by me and one filled out by my girlfriend. When this example was created it appears to have been made as an example of both "from me and from her" and I know there will be different information contained on mine verses hers. What parts do I enclude on mine and what parts do I eliminate on mine? What parts do I keep on hers and what parts do I eliminate on hers? I understand that the form was designed for me to replace the words in red with my or her information.
For example...
(petitioner’s / beneficiary’s address)
This is for my info on mine and her info on hers.
(USCIS service center address)
This is for the service center here in Texas where I live, correct? Do I enter the same info for the Texas service center on both?
or when submitting for interview
What goes here? Is this only for her copy or for both?
[name of country where Embassy is located]
I will enter here (Colombia)
[Embassy Address]
I will enter here the address of the US embasy in Colombia here
(date mm-dd-yyyy)
I will enter the date here for when we both sign this document. Is this a time sensative date? Do I have a time limit from this date to mail?
(applicant’s or beneficiary’s name)
My name on mine and her name on hers.
(petitioner’s or beneficiary’s name)
Her name on mine and my name on hers.
The next sentence looks like it should be edited but for some reason it is not red like the other parts that are obviously to be changed.
and intend to do so within 90 days of my arrival into the US using the K-1 visa.
Should the word my remain (my)on hers but be changed to (her) on this line of text?

Any halp from those of you that are past this part, please advise or sned me some examples please.
Best Regards...



Yes u write the addres of the Texas service Center
U do not have to put embassy address here since this is not sent to the embassy - ull do that when ur petition is approved
I do not know about the date - whether it is time sensitive...I hope it is not because ours are different.
Yes you change from "my arrival" to "her arrival" when u fill it in.
Or at least that is what we did.
Good luck!

Hey everyone,

Yesterday, we got the good news and recivied our NOA2 via email. We couldn't believe it happened so quickily even if it was the VCS. Now we were just wondering if we can still track on the USCIS website or how else would we go about it? Thanks for all the help everyone you guys really made the difference, we couldn't have done it with out you. Good luck everyone.

Thanks again,

Andrew and Iva

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMARCH FILERS :p
Hey guys a little off-topic,
but has anybody noticed it or I am under the false impression that
at Vermont almost everybody who filed got their NOA1 and then a "touch"
in the next few days and then if everything was ok they also got NOA2?
I was looking at people's signatures and that is the trend I noticed...
May then I should not expect another touch soon?
Just wondering... :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVisa received:)
Hello everybody :)

Just wanted to say thank you to everybody on that forum who made our K1 journey much easier so far.
We couldn't have made it without you guys, thank you really :)

We got the visa approved on 21.05 and mailed two days later :dance:
The interview was so easy they asked total of 4 questions (How did you meet?, I see you guys travelled a lot where did you go?, So this is your second time in Bulgaria, Andrew?-he was there with me:), sth else we can't remember)

Good luck to everyone and happy long life together! :)

P.S. We hope see you all in the AOS forum :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsthis is unfair

im sure everything will turn out fine, you're getting way ahead of yourself- i still have an I130 that hasn't been touched since October 2006. Good Luck to you in your journey!

Looking at your timeline, I think you should give it more time. You are still within the normal time frame of CSC's slow approval rate.

i read i think here in the forum that if you file for K3 and I-130 and you pursue K3(as you did cause you entered the country after having k3 VISA approved) then you cannot pursue I-130. Isn't that correct? If it is then it is normal not to have a touch since october...
Anyway, wish you good luck withthe rest of the process :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGeneral tips on filling out the I-864

I've never written a guide for anything before, but I have extensive knowledge of the Affidavit of Support forms and I'd like to give people a few tips... so forgive the lack of formal formatting!


It is very important to keep NVC notified of any change in your address. They can't contact you if they don't know your address!

Mind the small areas of the forms... They can be easily overlooked.

If you fill out a form incorrectly, it will be sent back to you via a checklist letter -- this is done only ONCE, so if there are still errors on your form or in your case after the first time it gets sent back to you, you'll have to download a new form. NVC will send you instructions on how to do this.

There are a few other forms besides the I-864, Affidavit of Support. There's also the I-864A, Contract with a Household Member, I-864EZ, which is a short I-864 with certain restrictions, and I-864W, which is an exemption from filing the I-864. Let me briefly go over these.

I-864A, the Household member form, can be filled out by someone both A. Living in your same place of residence, and B. somehow related to you, either by birth or marriage. Despite the lack of options on the form, cousins, in-laws, uncles, aunts, nephews, etc., can all be Household members as long as you provide proof of the relationship (this is done with Birth and Marriage certificates). NVC is supposed to accept these extra types of relationships. If you are related to the petitioner, and you live in the same residence, you have to fill out this form if you are contributing income (you can't fill out an I-864 as a Joint Sponsor). On the last page of the form, line 13 is filled out by the Sponsor (aka the petitioner, the person who filed the I-130) and line 14 must have the sponsor's original signature -- no copies allowed. The line must also be dated. The bottom half of the last page is the same deal, only the Household member fills out their name and signature here.

I-864EZ, the short I-864 form, can be filled out by the Sponsor/Petitioner if the following are true: assets are not being used, the sponsor is not self-employed, there are no joint sponsors or household members contributing income, and there are no derivative beneficiaries on the case. This form is ideal for IR/CR cases, where no derivatives are allowed anyway.

I-864W, the exemption from filing an I-864, is mainly used for sponsoring Natural Children of US Citizens under the age of 18, though the form can be used for other special cases, as described on the form itself. If you've filed an IR2 for your blood-related child under 18 years old, you will be required to fill out one of these. Stepchildren can't use this form.


As for the I-864, Affidavit of Support, there's a few things to know.

On line 23 you are asked to fill in your current individual annual income. A number has to be here, whether it's 0 or more. ALL petitioners need to fill out an I-864 (or I-864EZ if you meet the qualifications), regardless of current income, unless you qualify to use the I-864W. The number on line 23 does NOT have to be the same number on your tax form -- it can be an estimation of your current income. Question 25 should be your Adjusted Gross Income from your most recent tax year.

If you make enough money to meet Poverty Guidelines for your household size, you don't have to submit W-2s or Proof of Employment. It is always a good idea to include these documents anyway, however. They are both required if you don't meet Poverty Guidelines. If you submit proof of employment, make sure it has both the company name and a RECENT DATE on the form.

If you are using Assets, you -must- submit proof of ownership of the asset. A letter from your bank will work for Savings and Checking Accounts, a Title deed will work for Real Estate. Try to make sure the value of every asset is included on the proof.


That's all I feel like typing for now... if anyone has questions about using forms, I'd be happy to help.


Hello Daveed,
Thanks for all that info, i think a lot of people will find it useful.
I have a question for u - why would sb want to submit that I-864A form instead of the regular I-864 form?Does it give u any advantages over the other one?
And i have one more question - what is the requirement of this?do u have to have a different address from ur parents or sth else?
Thanks for the help...

Hi dear
Do not let your husband applaying for a tourist visa while his immigration visa under process. It's against a law her in america and even the congressman couldn't help you. Even if your husband is a great candidate they wil not issue hiem a tourist visa while the immigration visa under process.

This is called the "General Forum", and it is specific to the MENA. I think it qualifies. If you want information only on immigration they have specific threads for the Service Centers, Consulates, NVC, etc. Perhaps you need to look around more.




It's obvious you don't speak English. Or any other intelligible language.
