K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE different from the forms

Why did you use her address on the application? It may come up on the entry, but doubtful. However, it is a legitimate question. If asked, just be honest. The questions on the point of entry are quite straight forward. They ask basic questions, your name, when you plan to get married, where. etc...
Nao se preocupe....
Boa sorte!



We used his mother address because he was living till last Sunday in Brazil. He just got a job today in LA and will move to there, but we did all docs as his mother address because he will be living there.

I am just worry to change the address in the middle of the process and then need to wait more time to receive the NOA2.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE different from the forms

Absolutely not a problem. Your POE can be any POE... for example: if your final destination is Alaska but your POE was Miami.. it's completely fine. Posted Image


But my final destination will be LA I will not go to WI because he will be living in LA.
And in the interview? No problems too?

Hello everybody!!

I have a question! I am applying for K1 visa tomorrow.
My fiance will be working in LA but we are using his mother address in WI to apply for the visa. I will probably enter in US on LA POE.

Do you think that we will have problems on the interview? Forms address will be different from he work address.
Do you think that we will have any problem?

You have more than enough proof. In fact, all of that is not even required for the initial petition. It is needed later on for the interview stage, but you can send it in with the petition if you like. Why not send it in now and get a month head start rather than waiting for him to get here next month?

You can send everything in one of those large clasp envelopes. You are not required to send it in any specific form just whatever will do the job.

He is returning to US next Sunday then he will send all paperwork on 1st August.
Thanks for yr reply

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProofs of ongoing relatioship ... Do we need more?
Hi everyone,

I am new in this forum and I have a question about a establishing proof of our relationship.

My fiancé and I will be applying for the K1 visa next month. We almost hae everything ready to send, but he is in Brazil now and we will file the forms when he returns next month.

We met each other in July of 2010 and have had a relationship since August 2010. Since our first meeting in Rio, he has returned to Brazil to see me five times. When he comes, he stays with me and my family and last summer, he lived at my place for nearly five months.

We filled out all the forms and we are finishing putting together all of our "proof." As of now, we have: 1 email for each month since we started our relationship, his credit cards statements showing that he spent money in Brazil, all copies of his airline tickets (including our ticket to Chile and some Brazilian cities), 1 envelope that he sent me, 36 photos of us since we met, hotels receipts, passport stamps, a bill addressed to him that came to my address, and that's about it.

How do people feel about this evidence? Is this sufficient? Do you think we need more?

Thanks you everyone!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat does "K-1 Processing Time" actually mean?
Quick question, everyone.

My partner and I submitted the I-129F a month ago and USCIS received on the 6th of August. I have looked at the timetable on the USCIS website and they are saying that for the K-1 Visa, the "processing time" for the USCIS National Average is 7.7 months, while the processing time for the California Service Center (where our application is going through) is 5.0 months.

Ok, great, just wondering, what period "processing time" include? Does that mean 5.0 months from date of receipt to the date that they send you the NOA-2 or does that mean 5.0 months from date of receipt to the date of the interview and its acceptance/denial?

Thanks!

How much time later they receive yr package you receive the NOA1?

Also do we receive this by normal mail or they send us an e-mail too?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresService Request after 5 or 6 months?
Right, but my question is at one point can you officially file a service request with USCIS...?

I'm seeing an average processing time of 5 months on the USCIS website for CSC.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresService Request after 5 or 6 months?
So yesterday marked the 5-month mark since we've received our NOA1...and no NOA2. I am absolutely aware of the fact that it's currently taking 6-7 months for many people, but I had a question about following up with USCIS on a service request.

I know that after a certain period, you can request that USCIS looks into your case, if you are still waiting on the NOA2 after the standard time...

But is it 5 months or 6 months? I have heard both numbers thrown around.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks so much!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen the co-sponsor "co-sponsors" you, who is s/he co-sponsoring?
Quick question. Apologies if it's obvious to most people on the forum.

I have one doubt about the I-134 form. The co-sponsor must fill out the form just for the fiancé(e) entering the country or for both the American and the foreign partner? S/he will fill out just one I-134 form, correct?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCalling CSC: How to get a "higher up" on the phone?
Hi Everyone,

People commonly referencing requesting to speak with a so-called "Tier 2" person when calling one of the service centers.

I would like to call CSC tomorrow and try to see if I am able to do that.

For the people that have done exactly this, what has your strategy been in getting a a Tier 2 person on the phone? How long does it take? Can the initial rep deny the request?

We're CSC, August 6 NOA1 filer, so today marks 198 days for us. Every time I have called (3-4 times now), we are told conflicting info, so I really want to see if I can get CSC to shed any light on our case.

Any info y'all might have would be appreciated. Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan someone clear up the co-sponsor issue for me?
Hi Everyone.

We are recent NOA2 recipients and will have an interview at the Rio de Janeiro consulate at some point in the near future.

My 2011 and 2012 are small, and probably under the poverty live because I did not work from mid-2011 to mid-2012, precisely because I was in Brazil on and off with my partner there.

I currently work full time and make enough money now.

I am still going to use a financial sponsor, clearly.

So for the people that have....is just one sufficient?

Is it possible or even necessary to use two?

How much will this hurt you in the interview (assuming that I am gainfully employed at the time)? That is, the idea of using a financial sponsor and showing 2011 and 2012 gross incomes that are lower than the acceptable level.

My employer is more than happy to provide a letter, but both they and I are wondering about the formatting and structuring of the letter.

Obviously, it doesn't have to be super long, but who is the letter addressed to? USCIS? NVC? The local consulate where you are interviewing?

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFinancial documents from financial sponsor for I-134...What exactly is needed?
I've secured a financial sponsor for my fiancée and I.

How many tax statements do they need? Is it just the gross income that matters?

How much bank information?

What other type of documents are needed? Proof of real estate and its value? Trust fund? Any other income. Just photocopies of this proof.

What about stuff like cars? Loans? Credit Card bills?

My family is more than wiling to help me, but we're trying to figure out exactly everything that is needed.

Also, for Question number 11, what is the sponsor honestly does not intend to make specific contributions to my partner and I. Is it ok to check "do not intend," the idea being that we don't need assistance at the moment and don't foresee ourselves knowing it.

I guess that I'm looking for guidance as to how to get my sponsor to provide all the information that is needed...

Thanks so much. I know it's a big question!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 Affidavit of Support Letter: Do you have to report your debt?

As I'm preparing for our interview, which will hopefully be in June in Rio, I'm looking at the I-134 form and see no area for information on one's own personal debt. I am thinking here mainly of credit card debt and student loans. I have no credit card debt at all, but $25k in student loans.

 

 Does this have to be reported? If so, how much of a "ding" is it on one's petition?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow Long Does it Take for Rio To Receive Case?

So i'm obsessive about all of this, and i'm sure i'm in good company around here smile.png buttttt I just wanted to know from any Brazilian filers' experience; how long does it take for your case to get from the NVC to Rio? I just called the NVC, again, and they notified me that my case was mailed out last Wednesday, the 24th I emailed Rio Sunday night to see if they had received our case yet. They had not. How long does it take? Will they notify me via email? SHould I email and check with them again? I'm just trying to get that interview date even earlier than when my fiance receives his packet.

 

Any tips and tricks?? Thank you!!

 

Are you still waiting or you already have yr interview date?

I sent an email yesterday, but they didn't answer yet.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFor I-134 Affidavit of Support Form, what constitutes "personal property?"

aws@ndd,

 

 Thanks for your reply.

 

 So is it safe to say that you could use almost anything you personally own, as long as it has some "value?" Interesting point about the car. I would assume that you could use a vehicle, even if you owned one and used it daily.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFor I-134 Affidavit of Support Form, what constitutes "personal property?"

Perhaps it's a silly question, but what is the range of things that falls into the category of "personal property."

 

 The I-134 form has a section that reads as follows:

 

 "I have other personal property, the reasonable value of which is:"

 

 So what kinds of things does this include?

 

Cars? Boats? Coin Collections? Clothing? Etc...

 

And what amount you list, how do you validate the value? Can you just list the amount off or do you need to justify the number through printed records?
