K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWaiting for NOA2
See the following and I stand corrected, it says 'copy of NOA2 letter'.
What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):
1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).
2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.
3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).
4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.
5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.
6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.
7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Examples: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

Do I have to physically be in the US to receive the NOA2? I plan to be with my fiance for the next few months in Mexico and I hope that sometime during that time the NOA2 comes. I won't be here to get it. Will that matter? Can't I just keep checking online to see if our application has cleared Vermont and is on its way to the National Service Center? Does my fiance need the actual NOA2 for the interview?


does the USPS deliver mail to you if you are not home? I think they will....


My mail will be forwarded to my mother's house and she can open it for me. I don't know if they will forward the NOA2 and if they do then I don't know if I need the actual paper for my fiance to go to the interview.


My understanding is that you must send the original NOA2 letter to your fiance for them to have at the interview. Also, I am not sure how dependable the USCIS website is for updates. I know some people have been approved and nothing ever changed on their website and they never got any email update and the paper letter just showed up in the mail one day. Good luck!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the NVC or Embassy/Consulate will send me (the petitioner) a letter notifying of me of my fiance's interview date or is there only one letter about interview date sent to the beneficiary? Also, will the NVC know of the interview date once it is set by the embassy so that I can call the NVC to find that out? Thanks for any help. ~Jan~


The petitioner will not receive any notification from the embassy but you can track the progress by calling the department of state visa line at 202-663-1225 options 1,4,1,5,0. This will get you to an operator. Give them your USCIS or DOS case number and they will be able to tell you if the embassy has mailed Packet 3 or 4, the interview date, ect...


AWESOME info! Thank you so much!

QUOTE (Karin und Otto @ Jun 7 2009, 05:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Once your case reaches the Embassy/Consulate it becomes the foreign fiancé/spouse's visa application so the notification is to him/her (not to the USC). Also, NVC will not know what date the Embassy/Consulate has scheduled for interviews.

You however may contact the Consulate/Embassy directly - check the Embassy Section (above) for best method to contact them.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew To Forum and K-1 Philippines guidance needed
Hello all who are reading this. I guess i just need some guidence and confidence since ive never done this before. Here goes......
I met my fiance in Aug-Sep time frame of 2007 while I was deployed to the philippines. I am active duty army. She stayed with me while I was in Manila but not when i was at my outstations. I was there till February 08. Although I didnt think it was going to be like this, i didnt get much proof of a relationship just a bunch of pictures, but no dates on the pictures. We do have yahoo im chat conversations, cards I sent her and she sent me, mail with her name and address on it being sent to her when i was in the states, and ect.. simple stuff like that. Well it got serious after I finalized my divorce and we are looking into a K-1. I have all the paperwork completed. I have the original documents from the court for my divorce, and ect. I dont know if I have enough proof though since i never got anything dated.
Current situation is the fact that I am back in the philippines deployed again, and we have spent time together thank god after a long year wait. We managed to get a letter from the hotel stating that she was my guest for my entire stay and we also go a picture together in front of the hotel. So I think that is GOOD evidence. So when we get the film developed I will send the package in from here to vermont.
I guess my guidence would be wanted from someone in a similar situation. I will be here most of the year maybe till september or sooner. I dont think she will get her visa before I leave but we are crossing our fingers. We want to cover all our bases. She has out of her own money saved up P50,000. She works but doesnt make much. I was going to put another P50,000 in her bank account not sure if it matters. We are worried about the interview at the Embassy because we have heard bad things about the Manila Embassy. Especially with that CPL Smith case and peopel not liking us at the moment over here.

Well any information anyone can provide to maybe calm my nerves and hers will be welcome. I didnt really ask anything, I guess i wanted to get my situation out there, maybe to see if we even have a good chance at this K-1 thing since we are really lacking alot of evidence.

-Wayne

i had experienced the same thing. Its a filipino thing ; if a fiilipina is with a foreigner, they automatically think that she's a Prostitute or someone who works in a nightclub and just happened to be taken seriusly by an american. pathetic right? they let me sign, ask for my I.D. before letting me in. I gave them my ID from work, i work in a 5 star hotel(their direct competitior) in manila (executive position). then they look at me differently fom then on. some guards who doesnt know, still the ssame with me. It all gradually changed when they realized that we are really in a relationship coz im his only guest in his room (some americans have diff girls, so they tend to generalize) and I talk to them in english all the time. i know someone who goes out with foreigners (more than 2x), and stayed at the same hotel everytime. so, even if she stays with her BF now at the hotel for a long time, the guards and staffs look down on her. she's not a pro, but she just dates foreigners when theyre here. Off-Topic2.gif


Yes thats exactly what I think is happening. Since Many americans stay there. Well something funny happened yesterday she was getting ready to walk out to work and the Head Manager stopped her and asked her how she was doing and if she was enjoying her stay again ( she help her before with a letter of appearence ). Nikka told her that she felt uncomfortable because of the issues, now everytime she leaves or comes in they all address her properly and are really polite lol. 5 Star Hotel huh.. which one? im in one now.. You looked familiar but i didnt want to venture a guess. Ive been to alot of those hotels between 2007, 2008, and now 2009.

"When there is a doubt, there is no doubt..."


Love it i will use that again.....


FYI Thanks for all the replies... Yes i talked with her last night we are going to hold off for awhile until we have no doubt that it is right. She was upset and cried but I told her if we get married and one of us still has doubt about the other, would you rather go through a marrage full of doubt or get rid of it first then enjoy a marrage doubt free...?

Well all being said and done we talked for a long long time. I told her how I felt and strangly enough i told her about all her guy friends that make me jealous or mad ( what ever you like to call it ), she had an answer for all of them. I dont think she thinks things through alot... Example.. One american/filipino friend, she said she had been friends with for a while and met when she was in Singapore. She said she met him through other friends. I was like fine... but what is strange is SHE is the only one that gets Letters in the Mail from him. All her friends that he was friends with before her; and the reason for her meeting him... well he doesnt send them letters. Little and petty on my part.... yes.... but unfortunately im a guy and most guys I dont trust...not all, but most. IM not saying im a saint in any aspect... I have female friends but most are American, and all my pinay friends i really stopped talking too. Once in a while ill say hello and thats about it.

Anyway apparently my new skill is telling my life story and typing.

Longer story into a shorter one... we did talk and she did listen, but I have doubt and she is willing to not marry until that doubt is gone. Maybe it will be gone maybe it wont but we will try without the K1.

So that leads me to just a couple of questions...

Ill send in the letter to have the porcess stopped.
But...

1. How will that effect filing another K1 in the future whether its her or someone else.(I will not marry american girl again)
2. Will I have to pay the fee for filing again?
3. If i send another I129-F in for Her... the process starts completely over again right?
4. How detailed does that letter need to be to stop the process?

Thanks everyone.

First id like to say thanks for the comments and replies.... let me see if I can answer everyones questions :

First about the american guys and the whole friendster myspace #######.

She still adds guys on her friendster, she says there just friends and everyone on there is her friend from either highschool or college or where ever. That is just fishy because she has almost 600 of them. One American guy that she talked to a while ago and i told her she needed to get rid of him, well she deleted him but didnt delete him from facebook ?!. What ever ... all that social networking sites are all drama anyway. I deleted every social networking account I had. Friendster Myspace facebook, ect... It caused too many arguments so i got rid of it, she cant and wont. She also recieves Mail from one or two of the american guys... not sure what its about. Ok enough about that subject .. what else....

Her family, she has told me several times that she want to go alone to the US and live with just me, not even have kids anytime soon since i have a couple from my previous marrage. She also doesnt want me to help them, but i see her giving her mom money all the time. So that raises a red flag with me too.

When we are together we are 90% of the time fine and having fun were ever we go. I just dislike the looks i get when im with her ( I feel like people think she is just another club girl with an american ). Not directed toward me but toward her. I have several times said stuff to people, like when im with her I get addressed .. good morning sir... she gets nothing and I just simply say so you can say good morning to me but not her because she isnt american or something. The whole perception thing is killing me here. She gets harrassed when she leaves the hotel to go to work, and I had to yell at the management.

Im in Manila and I am honestly BORED, everything is the same day in and day out.

I dont know what to expect from this marrage, simply because my last two fell apart. 1st one we couldnt live together and fought all the time so we just seperated to get some space and she found someone else so we divorced... even though we are great friends now... 2nd marrage ended because my first ex wanted me to take my kids and have them live with me for a while, so I told my wife and she sent me seperation papers.. So that was a good signe i needed out of that relationship.
so this marrage... i dont know what to expect... Maybe I shouldnt expect anything.

what i want..... Honest, faithful, support (with work even if I stay in the military as well as all types of support), has to love kids because they will come first and it would be fine if she wanted kids, I cook so she doesnt really need to, i guess it would boil down to I want a best friend to say by my side through thick and thin...

Do we love each other.... I have told her several times I love her or I love you... but when she asks me why i love her I dont have an answer. on the same note she doesnt have an answer for me either.

Differences in fighting/arguing when we are apart or together is simple... I just wouldnt talk to her for days when we are apart. Then call her up and explain things to her. together she would take off and calm down then we would sit down and explain things.

Ok novel is done did i miss anything?

thanks wink.gif



Your fiance doesn't want you to support your children?

I think you may misunderstood me... My Ex Wife didnt want me to have anything to do with my kids, and that is the reason she is my ex wink.gif

It's understandable that she doesn't want to have children right away since you are starting out in a new marriage. I believe you should take the time to get to know each other and pamper yourselves before adding any additional responsibility to what it is you already have. As far as the people in the town you are living in not addressing her when the two of you are together. I would think that they have a lack of respect for her corting a soldier, and perhaps you are not the only one that they have seen her with. Respect is earned by the way you present yourself at all times. I'm thinking you already know that this is not the right woman for you. Why are you having such a hard time letting it go. You already know what you want and in this relationship you are not feeling it at all. Sure you can have fun when you are together but you and I both know that this is not your real reality. You have children from a previous marriage which alone gives you this extra baggage of responsibility. Is this woman mature enough to be the step mother to your children? Or is this a ticket to the states for a better way of life? Pic a lady that is going to love you and all that belongs to you unconditionally. You deserve so much more then to settle for something you are having major doubts with. If you keep the process going with her, what happens if you meet someone that you feel is 100% your soul mate and you need to file papers to get this woman into the states. You can forget it because you are allowing this process to drag on. Each time I read your story I see red flags. Go to counseling for yourself before you go any further in this relationship.

Wow thanks for all the responses and thanks of course for not flaming tongue.gif

Everyone says that maybe its the stress of being apart, and maybe it is, but thats not going to help my situation at all because im Military and I will be away more often than not. I also have talked to her family and it was kinda weird first had to get use to the whole Po thing added to everything I said, but when talking to her mom it was a different conversation than im use to. IN a sense i felt like her mom was probing me to see if I was going to take her family wiht me when she left for the states. If i remember correctly she kept saying the same story about a "friend" (you know those mysterious ones that everything good happens too) who took his fiance and entire family (brother sister mother father ect...) back to the states with them. It seemed to be all she was focused on.

Her.... well she is a great woman, and we do talk ALOT, she cheated on me once while i was in the states and I respect the fact that she told me. Maybe i just cant get over that fact, but she also has had some friendly relationships online to some younger american guys (sometimes i think she is just using me because i have some money to get to the states to see them) but she says they are just friends. I dont doubt that because I have plenty of Pinay Pinoy friends. I may just be afraid of another failure?? There has been several several times I just said to myself ... forget it.... im still young and can still find the right one... but i seem to always give in and mend things (she does too so its not just me). We seem to fight more than my ex wife and that concerns me. When we are together we are mainly ok (yes hot steamy sex and all that, but also a good time out and about). I remember one HUGE fight we had when we were together. She recieved a phone call from a number she didnt know and it was her ex that she cheated on me with... well everytime I said something she covered the phones as for him not to hear me. I just simply told her what she did wrong and why i thought it was wrong.... She disregarded my feelings and our relationship to protect his feelings and not hurt him by letting him know that she was with me. Well now that i typed a novel... sorry tongue.gif

I just dont ever want ANOTHER Divorce....

Thanks (salamat)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa options.... to stop process
Wow thanks for all the responses and thanks of course for not flaming tongue.gif

Everyone says that maybe its the stress of being apart, and maybe it is, but thats not going to help my situation at all because im Military and I will be away more often than not. I also have talked to her family and it was kinda weird first had to get use to the whole Po thing added to everything I said, but when talking to her mom it was a different conversation than im use to. IN a sense i felt like her mom was probing me to see if I was going to take her family wiht me when she left for the states. If i remember correctly she kept saying the same story about a "friend" (you know those mysterious ones that everything good happens too) who took his fiance and entire family (brother sister mother father ect...) back to the states with them. It seemed to be all she was focused on.

Her.... well she is a great woman, and we do talk ALOT, she cheated on me once while i was in the states and I respect the fact that she told me. Maybe i just cant get over that fact, but she also has had some friendly relationships online to some younger american guys (sometimes i think she is just using me because i have some money to get to the states to see them) but she says they are just friends.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa options.... to stop process
Ok situation: Ive know this girl since 2007 seen her SEVERAL times, and I am still in the philippines so I still get to see her. I have nothing bad to say about her, and this isnt your I met online talked for a month then scrapped enough money up to visit type of situation. I spent probably a total of 6 months with her since 2007. She has done some flaky things but i drove on with the relationship. Mind you I have been through 2 divorces (all to american women) and I dont want it to happen again so It may just be me being scared.

The reason I just want some information to stop the process is because it seem like we fight more than we really talk to each other, and we only seem to get along when we are together. It is in a couples nature to fight, nothing is perfect but when you stop seeing yourself next to the person in your future maybe there is something wrong.

who knows maybe im just scared or need a counselor lol. Anyway just curious how to do it if we decide that is whats right. NO I wont just do it and tell her later it would be something we both decide.

Thanks for the advice... for those that reply....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F - Fiance Recently Divorced - Letter of Explanation Needed?
My fiance and I have been together for two years and we are ready to file the I-129f now that his divorce certificate has finally been issued.

My question: I have received conflicting advice on whether to include a statement about his recent divorce-- some say definitely do as a recent divorce may create problems in the K-1 process and others say it is not necessary as recent divorce should not be a factor since he is legally able to marry. Does anyone have advice on whether to include a statement in our cover letter or fiance letter of intent and, if we should include this, what information should we provide?

Some background on his divorce: my fiance married young, they separated almost immediately after, and they have lived in separate countries since (the past 7 years). Though the divorce process began years ago, the process is slow in Peru and the divorce certificate has just been issued.

Please advise and thanks very much!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen to file I-131 during K-1 visa process?
Hi, everyone--

My fiance and I are about to file the I-129F for a K-1 visa. We would like to return to Peru after our marriage in the US in order to have a ceremony in Peru as well. I know that we have to file an I-131 to do this.

At what point in the K-1 process can we file the I-131? I am confused about when we can do this...from what I've read, it seems like the earliest you can file it after you receive the 2nd NOA before the K-1 visa is issued? Is this correct or can we can we file it earlier with the I-129F petition? Please let me know what is the earliest point when we can file for the I-131...

Thanks very much!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical exam and interview Manila

Rebelheart, what does the removing condition in your signature mean?

(BTW) thats a cool user-name


Allow me to answer that as I'll be applying for removal of condition myself.

After you arrive in the US and get married, you will apply for Adjustment of Status (AOS) to get your green card. If your AOS application is approved before your 2nd wedding anniversary, you will get a Conditional Green Card (which is valid for 2 years). 90 days before your conditional green card expires you will have to apply for removal of condition to get a 10-year green card.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConfusing Case - need advice
Your sister's boyfriend needs to get documentation of his legal entry. This is a required initial evidence in order for him to adjust status (after they marry). Without this proof then he cannot file for adjustment of status. A good immigration lawyer (who really know immigration and doesn't just "dabble') might know how to secure such documentation from USCIS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa...can you just marry anyone?

Noone should be expected to take anyones word for gospel on here. Misinformation is given on these forums daily. Sometimes they are repeated so often that they become "visa legend" (kind of like urban legend).

I think it's wrong to belittle someone who asks for an official reference.

In this case, the holder of a K1 visa can only adjust status through marriage to the petitioner. Here's the reference:


http://www.uscis.gov...52bd97b8937ce80

8 CFR Part 245 ( c )(6)(i)

( c )Ineligible aliens . The following categories of aliens are ineligible to apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident alien under section 245 of the Act: (Added 10/1/94; 59 FR 51091 )

(6)Any alien admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant defined in section 101(a)(15)(K) of the Act, unless: (Revised 8/14/01; 66 FR 42587 ) (Amended effective 4/1/97; 62 FR 10312 )

(i) In the case of a K-1 fiance(e) under section 101(a)(15)(K)(i) of the Act or the K-2 child of a fiance(e) under section 101(a)(15)(K)(iii) of the Act, the alien is applying for adjustment of status based upon the marriage of the K-1 fiance(e) which was contracted within 90 days of entry with the United States citizen who filed a petition on behalf of the K-1 fiance(e) pursuant to § 214.2(k) of this chapter;



john_and_marlene,

Thank you for your very mature response and providing the OP with the information that he needed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa overstay. Desire to marry another

You have a problem. You need to contact the USCIS about the overstay before you file anything else. This woman is now here illegally and needs to return to her country. She may claim abusive status against you which would create more problems before you file for another. Contact the USCIS immediately giving them full disclosure of the situation and her whereabouts. You might consider contacting an immigration attorney to protect yourself.


I don't think the ex-fiancee can do that as a marriage did not occur. VAWA is only available to spouses who are/have been abused.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Beneficiary's Brother is out of status - Will that affect us?
bszoom,

I read of one post about a K1 interview in the Philippines where the CO checked the status of the K1's brother who was in the US with a work visa. I don't know if that's just something that's peculiar to the CO doing the interview or it's something that's done on a per embassy basis. I am not saying that this could happen to your fiancee but I am interested to find out if there are more of such occurences.

I'm hoping that someone who has a similar situation will share their experience here.
