well thats good but the DVD proves for certain the dates...HOw am i supposed to prove the dates if i cannot use CD that shows the dates of the pics and the videos?everything else i have are boarding passes and passport stamps...nothing w our names and dates on it...


The proof is that you met in person in the last two years. If they accept pictures with handwritten dates then I would suggest taking still shots of that DVD and turning them into pictures. Thank you technology. The boarding passes and passport stamps confirm the dates you put on them. (I still think the DVD is a great idea.)

No evidence provided on electronic media is acceptable.


Maybe not but that sure as hell would be the best evidence in my opinion. If they accepted DVD's and sent an RFE for more proof I'd just give up!

hi...how many of u guys quit their work and made actual travel plans priopr to the k1 interview???
or submitted proof of intent to marry in the US at the interview...


Thats kind of a risky thing to quit your job and buy tickets but Im sure its happened before. You actually need to bring a recent intent to marry letter with you to the interview. Is that the proof you're talking about?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE!! How long until FINALLY approved?

Hey guys,

I am sorry I know that has been asked many times I guess, but I tried to find out how long it usually takes to get approved after a RFE?!!? And I couldn't find anything so far!

Sure the lady on the phone said: within 30 days, but come onnnnnnnnnn......that's tooo damn long!!!!

Any experiences? I heard that usualy the approval comes close after the RFE is sent back in?!

I really need something to cheer up, because I am pi**ed and sad as hell!!!! :crying: :crying: :crying:

Breathe...I know you want to kill the neighbors cat right about now but you arent even at 90 days yet and for CSC thats good...for someone with an RFE thats awesome.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures1 question I-129F, and 1 for I-134

I moved between the time of NOA1 and NOA2 - used the Change Address link on the USCIS website to change the address - just got my hard copy of NOA2 so it works just fine. They say you can call too.

The AR-11 is not needed - it is for Alien Resident which as the petitioner, I am not. =)


you are the USC? If so then this is way easier than I thought. Of all the things I should be freaken out about ....moving in mid petition was giving me heartburn. Thanks

I'm also planning to move before Ann arrives here. But, I just used my current address, what else could you supply them, you don't know your future address.


I think once it leaves for the NVC and you get your NOAs you pretty much arent worried about them sending anything to you but you still want them to have your new address on file.

I read the example forms. On I-129F question #14 Address where you intend to live. I am renting now, but looking to buy a house. This will not be known until the process is started. Should we just list present address, and change with form AR-11 I belive later?
On I-134 question #8 That the following persons are dependent on me for support. Would this only be for the fiancee, or would this apply to child support for my son from another relationship? Thank you, Dave68



Hi dave, Im moving soon after the petition will be sent as well so Im putting my current address and will change it after I move. As far as the I-134 (which you really dont need till the interview) you will put your child support. They are trying to determine the poverty level.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs this ok to do?

I hope I can make myself clear.
We've recently applied for the K-1 and everything should be fine in that department.
I was wondering if, after I get the visa, and if I wanted to do two trips to the US to move more stuff cheaply (those damned international movers are insanely expensive), I could enter the U.S. twice: the first time on the VWP, then go back to my country to fetch more junk, then enter the U.S. on my K-1.
I know the K-1 needs to be used within 6 months of issuance (right?), and that would not be a problem. Would what I'm describing be a problem?


The visa will be stuck in your passport. I think you'll be questioned.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSurprise! Surprise! Surprise!!!!!

I salute those here who are apparently more kind-hearted than I am about to be - your kind of grace is in short supply.

I cannot, however, forgive this guy for his words - even if they were hasty and served only to cover his true hurt (which if they were, I'd have expected follow up posts to be of the "well, I really meant" variety, not an emphatic relisting of his awesome financial expenditures and pre-selected dates).

The OP gives a bad name to all of us going through international marriage because his words and callous attitude toward marriage supports those who taunt us with "oooh, green card marriage/mail order bride/blah blah blah." One foreign girl, another foreign girl, whatever, just a pity he'll have to start over and will lose the filing fee, right?

Of course, on some levels, this reinforces the basic truth that marriage is a contractual arrangement. Any other import you place on the commitment comes from your personal, religious, or cultural upbringing and beliefs. But - as sort-of emphasized by the government's gracious 90 window to have a wedding to celebrate the love you had to prove on paper was a bona fide relationship - this is a transaction and as such, can fail, be renegotiated, or entered into with basically any available party anywhere.

Someone in another area of the board posted about frustrations with "mail order bride" services and was promptly jumped all over. I won't get into that post - but the thought of people like this man, who lets a fiance go (dude, whether he meant it or not, he posted it, all we have to go off of are his words, and he seems unrepentent) without much of a fight and consoles himself with the thought of finding a new date, make me ill. Mainly because he might take up more time in the queue from a deserving, loving, pair-bonded couple with an actual intention of marrying no matter what the cost or the challenges.

That guy is making all of us look bad and I, for one, don't appreciate it.



THANK YOU!!!!! You found the right words for it and i don't appreciate it either!
I wanted to come up with something like: 'I would love to say something, but I just can't!'...
because i wouldn't have found the right words!! So therefore thanks again, for putting into words, what my mind/soul tried to SCREAM!!!

Diana


I have to disagree...why does this guy have to "repent" to any of us? He's not making ME look bad...he's simply getting his aggressions out on this forum over a woman who led him on! Suddenly she's afraid? If there was a true bond there from the beginning SHE wouldnt be afraid of that commitment she made when they went into this TOGETHER. Its a long haul and yeah there's people taking up time and space at the service centers but rarely do two people enter into marriage knowing the outcome will be that they are a divorce statistic. I think she's wrong for false commitment and I think he's probably going to end up in the service center line with another international bride who will do the same thing. Its just the way things go but its not raining on my parade. When your "mind and soul are screaming" for the justice of love I think its time to log off for awhile. Try to chill out people.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNo hurry for our approval !!!

My Fiance applied for the I-129F in Nebraska and got the NOA1 on 13th Feb 2007.
After this our problem started. I have searched and searched this site but cant find anyone with a situation similar to ours, so here goes.
On the 1st of March I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It is treatable and the prognosis is good but I have up to a years treatment ahead of me before I get the all clear. My oncologist says he has no problem with me emmigrating to the States once I'm all clear and will give me a letter and my medical history on a cd ROM to take with me, I appreciate that health insurance will be difficult but its not impossible and I have been reassured that in the worst case scenario if it recurs within a year or two then just jump on a plane back to the UK and they will treat me.
Well our dilemma is -
Do we inform the USCIS now about the unforseen delay or
Do we wait til I get packet 3 from the embassy in the UK after the approval, then send them an email requesting an extension to the 4 month deadline, explaining the situation.
This is obviously a very stressful time for me and my fiance and he is hoping to come over for a few months towards the end of my chemo to help me out.
I think we must be the only ones on here right now that ARE NOT in a hurry to get the I-129F approval. If there was any way to jump some of you ahead of us we would.
I hope you all get a speedy approval
Maggie in the UK xxxxxxx


You seem so levelheaded considering the recent diagnosis. Im glad to hear of your prognosis. I would carry on with the visa. You have 6 months to use it once you get it. After all the processing that needs to take place Im sure you'll be well on your way to recovery and still have your visa to use. At that time I'm sure the one thing you'll want to do is be with your man together in the States. Good luck and best wishes. Angie

We did not send in my birth certificate (I was the beneficiary) with our I-129F application. It was needed later at the interview stage.

We had no problems and did not get an RFE for it.



Good, I we didnt send one, didn't even think to send it since it wasn't asked for. Wow you have to be Karmac from Johnny Carson to know which way to go on some of these things.

I didn't send one either, I hope we won't get an RFE for it. But it's good to know that we can fax it! I would think they should just have everyone send it in the first place, in case they need it, instead of making us wait longer if they need it for SOMETHING...It would be interesting to know how often they RFE for this in each place i.e. CSC vs. VSC, etc. Sometimes I really regret that we will be living in California, and had to file there, since they are so slow, and seem to send more RFEs...

TimsDaisy,

If I am reading the OP's post correctly, he gave his fiancee $1000 for expenses involved in the K1 process. After much thought and uncertainty about the relationship, he asked for his money back. He want's to know whether his actions where correct based on the feelings he had after their first sexual encounter.

IMO if he questions the validity of her true feelings for him, then he has the right to ask for the K1 money back if he isn't going to proceed with filing the petition.

He's the USC....she didnt pay for nuthin. Even if she did it would only be $170 and the cost for paperclips and paper. He was kindly offering cash for "services rendered" and wanted it back after she decided to sleep on the couch. (cracks me up)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed HELP with your opinions!!!!!!

Thats weird. I dunno - does the K1 need evidence of "love" or just that there's a mutual agreement that takes place to marry. Why the hell anyone would want to enter into marriage under those artificial terms is beyond me. This guy is either ignorant to whats happening to him or he just doesnt care that she's using him for a ticket into the US.


No, there is no requirement for love in a marriage - but that's the whole problem with the system, isn't it? They want proof that you aren't marrying JUST to get into the country - but pretty much any other reason will cut it, and the easiest shorthand is a "bona fide" relationship - you've met in person, you will marry.

It's nuts trying to regulate based on people's states of mind, but that's what most of our laws are about. While I tend to focus on just the laws here on VJ, sometimes, comments make me angry about the practical realities and the people-aspect of the process and this guy pisses me the h*ll off.

Come on - people are only coming down on the woman here? She doesn't sound like a peach, but I can't believe no one else seemed to raise an eyebrow over "was i wrong for asking for my money back when she wouldn't come to bed?"

Just linking those two concepts: money + bed - that screams "wrong" to me. Perhaps she had no problem trading one for the other, if not, then hey, lady, have a ball. But neither of them seems worthy of respect and, perhaps needlessly if no one else takes umbrage, but on behalf of the hundreds/thousands/however many in-love, desparate to be together, love-don't-cost-a-thing, slogging-through-it-all couples here on VJ and everywhere else, I'm offended.

I'm not the marriage police checking the legitimacy of anyone's marriage. I don't have a say in their pairing. But when it comes to visas, we aren't independent of each other because of the mounds and mounds of applicants - we're all vying to get to the front of the line. This guy bugs me. But what can you do.


This is one of those threads where I'm just kind of awestrucken. Even more so at the link to his earlier thread you posted. I'm like "are you for real?" He's a 62 year old guy from Texas and he gave a Russian chick he met off the internet a thousand bucks and his thingie dont work and he was pissed off cause she slept on the couch. She wants a $1200 dress but settles for a $300 blouse then she doesnt put out but will get married no problem as long as its ASAP. I mean - COME ON!!

Um, excuse me all but the OP said:

"In your opinions, was i wrong for asking for my money back when she wouldn't come to bed? "

I find both parties here disturbing. She may have been looking for a sugar daddy - but he treated her like a #######.

This is the same guy who was concerned about "marriage agreements" before, as well. (http://www.visajourn...opic=56271&st=0)

I suppose marriage is whatever two people believe it to be - and however they choose to live out the kinds of promises they make when they sign the contract. But this kind of situation and story disturbs me greatly. Am I culturally insensitive? Overly romantic? Perhaps both. But there's a ton wrong with both of the parties here - that's the impression I get from the information the OP provides. And age has nothing to do with it.

And yeah, I'll say it - the thought of his application taking up space and time in front of mine and a lot of others makes me angry. This is a guy who is only close to loving this woman that he clearly doesn't trust anyway - and he has said he thinks she isn't as close to loving him. See this post: http://www.visajourn...h...st&p=744673

A K1 isn't for testing a relationship. And coming or not coming to bed IS NOT grounds for monetary compensation.

I mean planning a wedding is difficult enough, and then to have all this extra paperwork, planning and money to spend. Not to mention, trying to plan something around the world and not knowing when things will go through... ARGHHHH! :crying: I know it will be worth it when we are finally together in the US and I know it will just make us a stronger couple, but it's just so tough sometimes! Sorry, this is a little off topic I suppose, but I just want to know I'm not the only one out here crying! :crying:


Buck up. No one finishes this process without putting up some sort of fight. If you're freaking out now, I'd seriously hate to see your post after an RFE. Put your tears away until the visa is in hand. Right now you need to keep focused on gathering what you need for your petition. You are overwhelming yourself and not putting your priorities in order. Think first of your petition (and only of your petition) until its in the mail - then worry about your wedding. Nothing is going to happen if you lay in your bed and cry about it.

He knows everything, LOL . I sent in the beneficiarys translated B C because I wanted to avoid an RFE. Now that looks like it does not matter what you send, how much you send, etc., the fact is USCIS probably does not read through our petitons. When I got my letter of denial last year, it was stated in their letter my fiance was from ' Russia ' . How the heck did they come up with that? I had a boat load of evidence and docs that said he lives in Egypt, blatently he never went to Russia, visited , lived there, or otherwise. DUH! :rolleyes:


OH NO!! Well what did you do!???? Did you go head hunting at the Service Center?? I'd be beating on the front door to ask for the idiot that made that weird assumption!!

####### do they want with the birth certificate of the beneficiary?

Weird.


Really...WHY WHY WHY!?? I sent in my guy's BC and his passport because I was feeling generous..not because I thought we had to. Where besides VJ are instructions on what to include in the 129F packet because I dont remember reading this anywhere on the 129F instructin sheet.
