K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConflict of ñ vs n in NSO Birth Certificate

Im having the same concern with that "tiny" line over the letter "N" on my last name. my passport and bc have it but my other government ID's don't. even when i went to NBI and told them to put a line over the letter "N", the guy said he can't do that or maybe he thought that that "tiny line" doesn't even matter. some of the forms from the I-129f packet have it too, but the other forms don't since that letter doesn't even exist in the English alphabet. im hoping that it won't really matter if the line over the letter is missing or not since everything or every letters are all correct anyway. i hope the CO won't even bother asking about that. any thoughts?

 

Are you done with your interview?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConflict of ñ vs n in NSO Birth Certificate

This may apply in the country that using the letter ñ in the name. I have this conflict on my NSO Birth certificate that my surname supposed to be Cariño but registered as Carino because of typographical error (of course). Back then they were using the typewriter in writing. Anyway, in my passport its Cariño so thats the right one. Now I was worried that it might conflict on my interview documents so I filed for correction. But I found out that my father's birth certificate has an error too. Unfortunately, in order to file for correction I need my father's bc. So what we did, we corrected him first and took us 3 months processing. Now, we have the correct documents of my father and processing now mine. But before the process will end, my interview might be in 2 months from now. For additional info, I have a power of attorney document that saying Cariño is my surname and local registry document that has correct surname.

 

So my questions:

 

Will the CO check the NSO and passport or your identity even the only wrong is the birth certificate but the rest is correct? And if it will be a conflict on deciding on approving my visa?

 

If the worst thing will happened will I get 221g form until I send them my corrected NSO birth certificate?

 

I will appreciate all the answers and I hope you can ease my worries here. Thank you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk1 Birth certificate

You can cancel the interview if you like and wait for your birth certificate. Also you can ask a letter or receipt saying that your birth certificate is on the process that is not available on your interview date. And you can go on to your interview but expect you will be in Administrative Processing that you have to send the follow up documents on the embassy. But I'm hoping you will get your Birth certificate before the interview. I had the same feeling when my birth certificate was not yet delivered and in 3 days it will be my interview date.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical issue; TB, latent marked communicable by Doctor

 

 

Mike thanks.

 

 

What was the details of how the treatment worked with the application?

 

Is her app stuck on hold for 6 months then simply revisited, or does this nuke everything and we start over from scratch? Should she go to her interview? If every thing else goes smoothly at the interview will it simply be a hold till the treatment is done?

 

For me, the treatment was 6 months and 2 months waiting before retaking the medical. I'm guessing that before she got sputum test she or the clinic cancelled her interview appointment to the embassy, right? While she is undergoing treatment everything about your papers are on hold. You will resume on your application once she got cleared on tb and the clinic release her. I think the clinic will inform the embassy that the applicant has been detected so expect that it wont schedule her interview soon. If everything or she is taking the treatment well, she can easily go back to the application. There are some cases that the treatment is taking longer depending on the health of the person. I pray she will finish it with no complication and just wait for the treatment to be done. Try to tell her to eat and sleep well and exercise.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical issue; TB, latent marked communicable by Doctor

I know the feeling of waiting for 7 months for that reason. In our country, even you provide a proof that you are not contagious they will still insist that you need to undergo treatment because they will be the one who would let her pass and continue her visa application and I think there's no way she can escape that treatment because she is positive in the culture. The embassy will not give her visa because they also depend on the clinic result of her medical. We paid another payment for my re-medical too. The medication on US patients are free also the sputum test and culture but in some other country they have payments but I dont know in her country. I'm sorry to hear that and you just have to hang on.

Please advice me. Thank You :)

 

No need for Pap Smear. They will not ask you about that. But they will check your private part for a very brief check that will take seconds. But they will not let you pass physical exam  if you have period so better go after or before. Good luck to your exam!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRed flags in us embassy in morocco

A separation agreement is not a divorce decree. Wait until you have that decree before filing any immigration papers anywhere. Onceyou are legally free to marry, by itself there is no red flag -- unless the embassy has some additional reasons to question the visa application.

I'm already divorced .I mentioned the separation aggrement to let them know I ve been living on my own for 10month . Coz I heard recent divorce is a red flag thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRed Flag List for visa denial

Yeah, listen to Darnell. It seems that a lot of divorced USC's fiancees are blue slipped for more information regarding the divorce. Write a detailed EOR letter and have it notarized and sent in closer to the interview date. USCIS doesn't care about your divorce, only that you are "legally able to marry." The embassy in Guangzhou will possibly care more about this on a case-by-case basis. Along with the EOR, write a detailed explanation about your divorce history so that it will be clear that this is not a potential case of fraud. This can help prevent a blue slip if the VO asks about the divorce...you have your ammo ready to go. It seems that the more VJ educated you are, the more organized you are, and the more questions you ask, the better your outcome will be in the end....that is my opinion based on following other couples here. Oh, how is her English? This is another potential bump at GUZ. Good luck!

what eor letter means? thanks

I'm not sure how long the proces takes and from what I have learned from this site everyones experience is different.(even deifferent from country to country) I do know that if you have filled the k-1 already and then get married you will have to start over and you do NOT get your money back... We filed the k-1 and it was sent back for further review.... We were then told our case was closed because the dates expired and we were free to file again.... Now we are going to marry in Morocco and file for the cr-1.... In my opionion we should have done it this way in the first place and had we done so he would be here by now.....I filed our k-1 in dec of 2009..... Morocco is very difficult :wacko:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould i wait or get marry instead.
I would suggest finding out why you where denied. We were approved and we have a 14 year age difference, he is Muslim and I am not, nor do I plan to convert., so I do not think that those are reasons for denial. We did have one years worth of skype conversations they took and reviewed. We talked every day usually twice a day and in our dialogue it was obvious we had a committed authentic relationship. We did not alter or just give them part of our conversations so they were able to see our disagreements, our conversations about religion, and everything else couples talk about.....: ) Having proof of an authentic relationship is the key I think. Good luck to you!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFlight Attendant applying for K-1 status.
Where does the limitation on travel come from?

In the case of a K-1 visa, is the limitation on travel simply a practical matter due to the fact that the K-1 is a single entry visa and if you leave without an AP, you have no way to get back into the country without a new visa, or does the immigration law say "NO TRAVEL without an AP".

If it's simply a matter of not being able to get back into the country, then I wouldn't think it would make any difference to you because a Canadian citizen doesn't need a visa of any form to enter the US and you could come and go as you choose just as you always have. If the travel limitation is due to a law, then it's a different story.

Once you're on AOS, I believe the LAW says you can't leave without an AP. In which case you would be out of luck until you can get an emergency AP.

I'm hoping that someone with more knowledge than I have can respond.

No, you do not need to include the I-134 in your I-129F application. By the way, For the I-129F application, you only need the I-134 and not the I-864, I-864 is for the immigrant application for I-130, fellow VJ's correct me If I am wrong....

I'm applying for a I-485 (AOS) for my K1 wife and I am surprise they want an I797 NOA2. When applying for an I-129F they require that I797 NOA2 at interview before they give you a K1 visa. Surely, if my wife came in on K1 and applying for an I-485 they know that it would be impossible to get that K1. So why do they want it again?

I'm upset because I lost a copy of that document and it takes a while to get it. On top of that a copy of the NOA2 is over $400 dollars. That's crazy!!!

Hi guys! i'm new here. I hope i'm posting in the correct area. So here is my story.

I just came back from the phillippines again and got engaged to my girl friend. I pretty much know about the whole process of filing as i've been researching like a madman! But there is one thing that came up that concerns me. It's that i'm 21 and she's currently 17. I was hoping to go ahead and start the petition process but i've been reading around, and now im concerned i'm going to have to wait until April (her 18th b-day) to even start the petition process. A few more drops to the bucket, is that her parents are both deceased. Her brother is her legal guardian. Is it possible that if he signs that he agree's for us to marry, would I be able to petition for her?

I was planning to start the petition process around september of this year "2012", and I know it takes about 6-10 months, so by the time she's here, she would be 18 and we could marry. So to sum it up, my question is. Must I wait until april of 2013 to even start the petition process?

btw sorry if this has been asked before :(

Hey,

I would go with Fedex or DHL. The reason I say this is I've had extremely bad experiences with the Australia Post AND USPS namely with losing original documents and not being able to track them. At least with a private courier company they are a little bit more stringent with their services.



Yeah that's what I was afraid of, I've sent a things to him previously using USPS and it would take between 2 weeks to 1 month with no tracking number available. His Valentines card actually took 6 weeks last year. I think I'll try Fedex. Thanks!
