like you, i also have two sisters in the US, both lpr.also my mom is there but just as a tourist. I declared them all in my ds 160. I dont think it will be a ground for denial. you can possibly be denied if they find out you are being dishonest.

Hi everyone,I am new here and i need your help please... my problem is that I already sent my requirements for I - 129 F packet to my US citizen fiance three (3) months ago, i.e, last april, 2013. Since my fiance has been busy, he has not sent the packet yet though he is trying his best to complete all the needed requirements for it. My question now : Are my papers like g-325 a, I - 129 F, letter of intent to marry etc, which are dated april 02, 2013, still be acceptable? or do i already need to provide new ones? I appreciate your help, thanks a lot...

You sent the correct amount :-) no need to file separate I 129f for her daughter. My case is also k1 with k2 (my son). The things that we are going to pay each during this process are the visa application fees($240 each) after i received my manila case number and later, before interview, the medical ($223 and $185 for adults and below 15 yrs respectively). Good luck on your journey :-D

How about our Filipino middle name? It says in the passport "Panggitnang apelyido." Does this mean that I will put my (Filipino beneficiary) middle name in the Surnames?
 
And my fiance's (American petitioner) middle name should be in the Give Names?

Agree with hank_. Ang Panggitnang apelyido ay nasa given name, hindi sa surname.hope you dont get confused though when i was also inputting mine, i got confused at that part lol.

How about my fiance's middle name where do I put it, in the given name?

Yes. As far as i know, unlike us filipinos, americans do not usually use their mom's maiden names,their middle names are actually given names so you must include your usc fiance's middle name in 'given name' part.

Surnames
Enter all surnames as listed in your passport. If only one name is listed in your passport, enter that Surname. (e.g., FERNANDEZ GARCIA)
 
Does this mean I have to type my middle name and family name in the SURNAMES space?
 
 
Did any of you put in your middle name and the middle name of your fiance in the DS160 form?
I just want to make sure I don't make any mistakes before submitting this.

Hi Everyone,
 
Does anyone knows if I still need to put my Middle Name on the DS-160 for my K1 visa application. Because it's only Surnames and Given Names that the DS-160 is asking for. Please Help!

Input it in given names, e.g; full name is John Smith Doe )in which given name is John, middle name is Smith and surname is Doe) Input John Smith in the 'Given Names' then Doe in 'Surname'..that was what I did in my ds 160

I'm planning to do it anytime soon this week. Maybe thursday. Can I do my Medical while having no dates for interview yet? Gee, I'm nervous about putting my receipt date as the priority date, how consistency I can get by doing this?

almost everybody does that so lessen your anxiety level ;) mine is indicated in nvc email for their reply to my query about my case number. but ddont worry, priority date can be the receipt date of noa1..yes, you can have your medical even without interview appointment yet. just print the email where your case number is indicated.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPriority date?? What to put and where to find it.

I saw the earliest for tonight June 5. I still didnt get it. Yesterday I saw the 21st of April. I am checking it every now and then. I still did not get the 26th caused I am afraid to any collateral afterwards once I get that. I am doing precautions really to every step I am making. May God give me no delays. I have no idea yet when to do my Medical. Basically, I need to get my interview date first. What do you think? Should I do the medical soon while looking for my dates?

Well if you really want to have an early interview schedule, you should have your medical anytime now. Just an opinion though. you should consider that this month has more holidays that means slec nd us embassy are closed during those days. Also consider that you cannot be interviewed without having medical prior to your interview

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPriority date?? What to put and where to find it.

I did put the receipt date. Too bad I can't get my April 21st date abailable yesterday. Now only available June 26th. I don't want to get this. My Fiance will be here on May and we planned to go back to states together. Is it possible that the closest date will changed? I will keep on monitoring it tonight. Did someone here experienced of getting the closest date? Please let me know. Any, answers will be appreciated.

Keep on checking because there may be times that others reschedule their appointments so earlier open slots pop out but very fast to be filled. If you get an appointment, you can reschedule it twice or else if you exceed, you will have to pay another visa fee or just wait 90 days to reschedule it again. btw, when do you plan to have your medical done then?

Ya, I don't know why it took that long. It really worried us and every time we called they would not give any information. I think because we were both married before, there was additional things to check, I don't know.

The good news is that his visa got approved and my fiance is coming this Sunday the 23rd, praise the Lord.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsProvisional File for package 3 in Bucharest, Romania

Thanks to visajourney I found out that a provisional file can be requested from the embassy before they receive the packet from NVC. I have done just that and now the embassy already has the forms from package 3 and our NVC case is completed as of today.

We are hoping to have an interview date within a couple of days, as we were able to expedite the process this way.

Thank you everyone for the valuable insight.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTourist Visa denied while K1 Visa pending
Hi everyone,
We attempted for a tourist visa for my fiance to visit while the K1 visa is pending. Well needless to say, he was denied with the reason that we applied for the K1 Visa, duh.
I don't think they knew we applied for the fiance visa, but their second question was to find out if we did and of course he said yes.
A little disappointed as we were hoping he would have face to face time with the kids. He has talked to them many many times through Skype, but has not met them in person yet.
Now we are praying for a faster processing time of our K1 Visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWedding venue booked - need visa within 10 weeks of NOA2. Help!

To expedite the arrival of packet 3, you can write to your embassy and request a provisional file to be sent out, while they are waiting for the packet from NVC. I requested it for my fiance and he already has packet 3 while we are still waiting for NVC to complete the packet.

Once form DS230 and others listed on the checklist are returned to the embassy, they will be able to schedule the interview as long as the packet from NVC is received as well. Can probably cut the time down by at least two weeks if not more.

Good luck!
