K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-129f TERMINATION LETTER ??	It's hard to say for sure until the official notice comes in the mail. But are the words "termination letter" directly from the email or your own words? Did the words "Notice of Intent to Revoke" appear in the email?	Stephen + Elisha	Male	South Korea	2012-11-28 21:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Printing text messages????	If you're on iOS 5 or 6, set up iCloud and Photo Stream. Then, every time you take a screenshot, it'll be wirelessly synced to the folder you've designated on your computer.	Stephen + Elisha	Male	South Korea	2012-12-03 15:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Options needed	:thumbs:Why would you not be granted a I129f? The OP had their petition sent back to USCIS by the consulate after the initial interview. They've been notified that a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) is in the mail, though AFAIK they haven't received the hard copy yet.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Petitioner Address Change	QUOTE (Rings @ Sep 15 2009, 01:05 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't have a pending petition when i filed my change of address. I was already approved and my husband was here with a 2 year conditional green card and we have not yet removed conditions and it let me change my address online so I fear you are mistaken. No, I'm not. You were required to notify USCIS of your change of address because you filed an I-864 Affidavit of Support for your husband at the time of AOS. For the OP, whose I-129F has already been approved but fiance has not yet received a K-1, the system will not accept an online change of address. If you don't believe me, try it. Go to the USCIS change of address page, click "Yes, this change of address is for a U.S. Citizen." Then click "No, I do not have any Pending Applications or Petitions." You'll get the following message: QUOTE U.S. Citizens who do not have an application or petition pending with USCIS are only legally required to notify USCIS of a change of address if they have previously submitted a Form I-864 on behalf of someone who has become a permanent resident. If you have previously submitted a Form I-864 for someone who immigrated to the U.S., you must complete a Form I-865 within ten days of the completion of your move.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Petitioner Address Change	QUOTE (Rings @ Sep 15 2009, 01:01 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You should still notify them of the change of address online so you can get the document that states they received your change of address. This way if you have future problems, you have valid proof that the USCIS has been notified of your change of address. If you don't have a pending petition, the online system will not accept a change of address for a US citizen. Once again, unless you have a pending petition, there's no need to notify USCIS of your change of address.	Stephen + Elisha	Male	South Korea	2009-09-15 00:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Petitioner Address Change	If your fiance's case is now at the London embassy, you do not have a petition pending at USCIS?it's already been approved. You don't need to notify them of your change of address. If you've moved prior to AOS, you'll simply use the new address on the AOS paperwork.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 petition information	QUOTE (Gary and Alla @ Oct 5 2009, 07:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello All I gave a list of questions to the USCIS director tonight and he promises me to answer all he can. Thanks for all the input as I would never have thought of all these myself. We didn't tie up to much time on questions tonight but I did ask two that have been burning a hole in my brain. G325a TWO copies is plenty. The reason the form was changed is that USCIS has been throwing away all but two copies for some years. The OMB had printed, in his words "A gazillion" of the old form and they just dealt with it. He said there is no harm in sending four copies if it makes you feel better. Religious Divorces Religious divorces are not generally acceptable to the USCIS or the US consulates. If you obtained a foreign "religious divorce" it should be registered or filed with civil authorities in that country to be recognized here. I hope to hear soon from him on the other questions and I will post them as soon as he responds. He seems as interested in making this go smoothly for all concerned as we are. Moderators...I did not know whether to post this separately or add it to the pinned topic above, I trust your judgement. Thanks for the update, Gary. Just a follow-up: by two copies of the G-325A do you mean one each for petitioner and beneficiary?	Stephen + Elisha	Male	South Korea	2009-10-12 18:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 petition information	QUOTE (Gary and Alla @ Sep 30 2009, 08:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (SophWeb @ Sep 30 2009, 08:18 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow. This is fantastic. This will be extremely useful to so many of us. Thank you. The fact that you need no evidence of an on-going relationship is what astounds me the most. And also relieves me! It seems that 'lack of evidence' is one of the main concerns when compiling the packet. I would assume then that it is at the consulate stage when that 'relationship' evidence is really analyzed. As we've seen though, many consulates do not accept new evidence when you go for your interview. So would you agree it's still best to overload your original packet with evidence, which they are forced to look at? well it never hurts. I doubt you need it for Australia. Also sending all this with the petition does not FORCE anyone to look at anything but they cannot dent they never saw anything later when USCIS reviews their denial. It is one of those things that if you need it, you are already in heap big problems. It is a recovery tool more than anything, seems like. Maybe it helps with some consulates up front. I just do not see Australia or any of the "1st world" low fraud consulates being that way and have never heard of such a thing. Check the consulate reviews. Agreed. The consulates in developed countries generally don't look at approved K-1s with a presumption of fraud. Certain high-risk, high-fraud consulates do. When dealing with those consulates, many people advise front-loading with everything but the kitchen sink so as to pre-empt any possible reason they might pull out of their hat to throw you into a 221(g) process or deny you outright. Aside from the "####### consulates," front-loading is probably only necessary if you have major red flags that you need to overcome.	Stephen + Elisha	Male	South Korea	2009-09-30 22:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 petition information	QUOTE (tri_gear @ Sep 29 2009, 02:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What about extra documents? Proof of relationship? We don't need it, only that they have met for the fiancee visa. So are you saying that all these people here who have been sending in a novel full of information/pictures is NOT necessary?? It's not necessary for USCIS. The VSC director stated that the consulates are a whole 'nother ball game.	Stephen + Elisha	Male	South Korea	2009-09-29 14:50:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Paper NOA2 Question	Thank you!! That makes me feel better :3 Oh I feel like a weight is off with this NOA2! Ben's starting this coming week to get his medical and police report done, is this the perfect time for him to or should he wait to receive something from them?	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-01-29 08:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Paper NOA2 Question	I got my paper NOA2 today!! But I have a question about it, I'm wondering if I'm missing some info? This website: http://travel.state....types_1309.html Says that I'm supposed to have a priority date on my NOA2 paper, but that section on mine is blank. The NOA2 says that "The above petition has been approved, and forwarded to the listed consulate" though it doesn't list a particular consulate anywhere on it (even though I know its Sydney). It also says its "Valid from 01/25/2012 to 05/25/2012" does this mean it has to be approved completely before then? Is this normal? I've obviously never been to this stage in this process before lol Thanks for any help! (And yes I have read the guides and did some google searching on the subject but I can't seem to either find or really 'get' the answers to my questions so any straight answers would be most appreciated!)	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-01-28 16:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	After NOA2	Ok, I'm the petitioner, and I've read the guides and the flowchart but some of it I still have questions about what to do now. I have a decent idea of what to do but I need to fill in the blanks! First off: "*Two weeks after you receive the NOA2 you can contact the NVC to see if they have received your approved I-129F. You can contact them at 603 334-0700. " This is where I call to get my case number, correct? Do I need to call them or will the case number be on some paper they send me? I heard from someone that you actually have to apply for an interview date, so they don't automatically assign you one? Is this the time that you request an interview date or is this after you send back packet 3 with the police reports and medical? "*This will be sent out within a week (typically less) from when the embassy processes the received petition. This package will include a checklist of items and paperwork that must be collected. Some will be sent back asap, and others will be sent back later or brought to the interview." This is packet 3 correct? Will I get anything in the mail or is it all him from here on out? I know I need to send another letter of intent, my letter from work, my paystubs etc. Is it necessary that I send my tax returns even with my paystubs? How many years back do I need and how do I get them if I don't have them anymore? That's basically all my questions for now, I look forward to some answers that will make this more clear, thank you :3	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-02-04 10:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Engagement Ring at Interview	Aside from all the legal and financial advice, mailing an engagement ring is totally not romantic lol Definitely wait until she's there in person and you can do it up right. ;3	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-02-06 06:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I134 supporting evidence of income	Another thing while I have this post, I read that for the interview he needs the originals of all documents submitted in the K1 packet we sent off originally. Does this mean all ticket stubs/itineraries and my original birth certificate? I'm going to mail him everything all at once so I'm wondering if I need to mail him my birth certificate too. Thanks!	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-02-16 12:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I134 supporting evidence of income	So I'm reading the instructions for this form, and it says: "Evidence should consist of any of the documents listed below that apply to your situation." Then it lists bank statements for the past year and all that, statements from my employer stating my salary and employment status, then it says IF I am self employed, copy of last income tax return. Does this mean I don't need that since I'm not self employed?	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-02-16 12:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	how do I get my to be 24 year old daugter to the usa	Was wondering if there was a reliable illegal way because I have tried everything I could think of the legal way .

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Living in Australia for 6 months to receive police report?	Thank you. I have another question. On this site: http://www.***remove...rtificates.html It says that if you live somewhere in australia for less than 6 months you don't need a police report from that locality, but if you have lived elsewhere in Australia for more than 6months then you will need a police report from that locality. He lived in Adelaide for more than 6 months prior to living in the US with me, and will have lived in Melbourne now for 6 months in mid March. No matter what he needs a police report from Adelaide, but if packet 3 gets sent back before mid march, will he need a police report from Melbourne? Will they ask for it at the interview when most likely he will have been there for at least 6 months? I'm not sure whether he should get both just to be safe. Also do you have to be in Adelaide to get the police report or can it be sent? Thanks!	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-02-22 07:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Living in Australia for 6 months to receive police report?	I was told that my fiance has to have lived in Australia for 6 months prior to being able to request a police report, is this true? He returned to Australia after living in America for a year in Sept 2011. Also, it says something about requiring a police report for any place outside Australia if he live there longer than 12 months. He was in America for a few days shy of 12 months, would he still need one to be safe or do you think it will be ok?	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-02-19 09:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Advice please? Is my problem the biggest one ?	Good luck, I can't help though, I don't know!!! But Here's a bump so hopefully someone else will be able to help Hang in there!	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-02-28 05:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 visa fee changing?	It's for the visa fee paid either before or at the embassy when you have your interview. Not the I-129F petition. Oh cool lol nevermind they are not bastards anymore	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-04-11 13:37:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How to apply for a police check in Australia from overseas	The Aussie one is good for a year, but if you were still in Australia you would need an appt for getting your fingerprints taken...I'm not sure what the rules are when you aren't living there anymore Check with Chile's rules, and see what it says if you lived overseas and how long ago, you may not have to get it? (Not sure but my fiance lived here for a year and didn't need to get a police report for here :3) Good luck!	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2012-05-23 16:08:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	much older woman/younger man	Australia is a low fraud country. Age gaps (with the woman older) aren't super common but they're not against cultural norms so it's no wonder it wasn't denied. I know you were just using it as an example but other high fraud consulates would be a better example. I can't say I've seen too many denials (actually I can't recall any but there may be some I don't know about) out of Australia who are members here on VJ. I'm one of em I'm 4 years older than my fiance, not a huge age gap but my sisters call me a cradle robber anyway	Austramerican	Female	Australia	2011-11-30 06:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-129F proof of ongoing relationship	At this stage (with the I129) you actually don't need proof of ongoing, you'll need that at the interview So you have time to gather proof of ongoing, all you need to send initially is the proof you've met!

It has 25 pages long, including my I-134, and a Cosigned I-134 from my dad is who cosigning.

It says pretty much the same thing as what the USCIS said online about my petition...That it is approved. That is wonderful, but It also keeps saying Consulate instead of Embassy....I was under the impression she(My Fiance) would have her interview at the Embassy in Moscow not the consulate in Saint petersburg.
