Pardon my noobness, but where are these listings taken from exactly? My NOA1 was dated Nov 21st 2006 for CSC but isn't listed on your site.

They are taken from a search of the VJ timelines. Yours isn't there because you haven't put your info in your timeline yet. When you do your name will be on the next list.

Here are this weeks timelines. Sorry I missed last week but I took Christmas off! :)
I will continue to do the timelines until Luz has her interview. (Feb 15) After that I will be to busy getting ready for her arrival and when she gets here I doubt if I spend much time online! :devil:
If anyone want to take over after that I will be glad to send all the old timelines to them. Let me know if anyone in interested.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfree to marry
Wow!! I answer a simple question and go to bed. When I wake up I fine a 8 page poo flinging thread! To the OP, go find a good immigration lawyer and ask him. Don't take our advice and possibly buy yourself some un-needed trouble.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfree to marry
The rules say you must be free to marry at the time of the filing of your petition. If your state says you must wait 6 months before you can marry again then you are not free to marry even though you are divorced. IMO you must wait.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespls help!!!!I've been using vonage can u use it as proof for on going relationship!!!!

thanks guys!!! but is it alright to present it ?it's not illegal or I wont encounter any problem with it ?coz it's supposed to be used only by the subscriber within the US. :blush:

It's the embassy not the police. They don't know or care about that. Besides, Vonage says they don't care where the adapter ends up as long as the bill is paid with an American credit card.
GaryCMalePhilippines2007-01-17 22:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespls help!!!!I've been using vonage can u use it as proof for on going relationship!!!!

:help: my fiance registered to vonage and he sent it to me so i can call him unlimited Philippines to US.We talk for hours daily UNLIMITED now my question is can we use it as proof coz the number was registered to US so whenever i call him it would reflect as local call.It has been a great help for us but can we use it as proof coz the number was US and it was under his name although I was the one using it to call him. we also use prepaid phone cards the one that u can buy at the store cos it's cheaper but it doesn't show any call history & we dont use it that often because i have vonage and I dont know if it's sufficient proof. thank u all . :blush:

I gave Luz a Vonage also. I had her take a picture of herself with the Vonage adapter and I plan to take a printout of her bill and call history. I will also point out that the calls on the Vonage are either to or from my cell or landline.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCSC/TSC/NSC Timelines

Oh no! The lists are so interesting and encouraging too! Do they take a long time to do? Is it mostly automatic or a long manual process? I'm pretty busy but I might consider doing them if no one else comes forward…

It takes me between 1 and 2 hours to get it done. It depends on how many months I include. There for a while when I had 5 months going it took 3 hours. But at that time I worked midnights and had a lot of time on my hands. It's not really that hard. You do a timeline search and eliminate the fields you don't want. Then you order the NOA1 dates. At that point you can highlight the appropriate months and do a copy from IE. Firefox will not keep the table properties. Then paste it into MSWord. At that point I delete the vermont listings and weed out the ones that have not been online for a while. Then I add the headers. When that is done I copy and paste to Frontpage. I can edit them into individual months there. After that it's just a matter of editing the index page and checking links.

Here are this weeks timelines. This will be my last one. I just started a new work schedule and I work every other weekend. Thats why you didn't get a list last week. Next week I work the weekend and the next is when I leave for Luz's interview. I enjoyed doing the lists and I hope that someone else will take up the flag and continue with the lists. Any one that wants to do it and need some help just PM me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlease i need info...extreme hardship, grant or deny?

How long does it take to fly to the Philippines from the east coast of the USA, anyway?

From the central part of the country it takes 28 hours including stopovers. Done it 6 times now and getting ready to do it again next week. It's are real chore of a flight but the reward of seeing my baby is well worth it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdivorce judegement to be included with I129F
It needs to be included for both parties regardless of when it happend. Photocopies are fine for the I-129f filing. The certified copies are needed at the interview.
GaryCMalePhilippines2007-02-19 04:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould i have it
Just to add. I didn't make a new letter of intent when Luz went to her interview. I think that if your evidence is weak or a long time has passed since you were last together it may be asked for. If your SO has visited you several times or you have strong evidence of a relationship they will not ask for it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance's weird mailing address
Luz's address was shared with everyone on the block. The post office either called her (I would put her cell # on the package) or it was up to her to check and see if something arrived. They didn't deliver.

:unsure: wow that's scary. plan cancelled. :whistle: thanks

Trust me, I want to marry Luz in the worst sort of way. We have talked about it many times. But we both realize that to do so would only add to the waiting time. Just be patient. I know that is easier said than done but it's really the only choice we have.
GaryCMalePhilippines2006-08-22 23:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarraige before K1 approval

we're planning on the same one with our case. we're going to get married on october but not legally. its more on blessing.

Be carefull when you do that. If the CO gets wind of it he may deny you just out of suspition. At the very least you would buy yourself an AR while they check it out. They don't need to prove your married, you need to prove your not. Remember that.
GaryCMalePhilippines2006-08-22 23:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan you file a I-129F and marry the person while waiting?
I will add my voice to the rest of those that are warning people about "getting married" or "having a wedding" before the K-1 visa is finished. I have seen many K-1 visas get denied because of things like this. Remember that it isn't up to the CO to prove you are married, it is up to you to prove you are not! If the CO has even the slightest idea that you may be married you will at minimum buy yourself many months of AR and very possibly a lifetime ban for visa fraud. Even if you "get away with it" when you try to adjust during the AOS and they find out about it you can still be deported. Visa fraud is taken very seriously by the USCIS and they can rule any way they want despite what YOU think is right. They make the rules and they will nail you if they find out.

The best advice I can give is to ALWAYS play by the rules, be patient and don't try to skirt the law with ill-advised advice like Reza is giving. Stay single, put off any ceremony that could even slightly be thought of as a marriage and wait for it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPHOTO's RFE

"copies of your stamped passport, and airline ticket stubs, they alone do not establish that you have met the beneficiary in person in the last two years immediately preceding the filing of the petition. The airline stubs do not show the year, so it is not possible to determine if the meeting was within the two-year period"

This is a direct quote from My RFE so please read what people say before you speak

You should have flown NorthWest. They have the full date on them. But I still don't understand how the passport stamps don't establish when you were there. That is an official document.
GaryCMalePhilippines2006-04-29 22:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPHOTO's RFE

MY PRIMARY EDIVENCE WAS SOLID AS A ROCK


Airline stubs and baggage claim stubs
Airline itinerary
Motel receipt in English itemized with both our names on it
Photos with dates on the back (5)
Engagement ring receipt
Passport & Visa
Emails
Chats
and alot more


They said "though you have submitted undated photos of you with beneficiary, copies of your stamped passport, and airline ticket stubs, they alone do not establish that you have met the beneficiary in person in the last two years immediately preceding the filing of the petition. The airline stubs do not show the year, so it is not possible to determine if the meeting was within the two-year period"

photos were dated on back and cover page for photo's discribed and included time place and date for each

They recommended I supply motel receipt, airline itinerary, credit card statements, and dated photos-which when I called to ask what dated was they saiad it ment digital date on print-

SOLID PRIMARY SOLID SECOUNDARY even if they lost 1/2 the stuff How can a passport with day month year and a ticket stub with Day and month that match passport stamp not count GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!


Wait a minute, If you give them copies of your passport stamps that has the year on it. THAT IS PRIMARY EVIDENCE!!!! Everything else just backs that up!!. If they say that is forged then there is no real way to convince them!!

I just looked at my ticket stubs that I sent in. All my NWA ticket stubs have the year on them. So my passport stamps and my ticket stubs have the full date on them. I should think that would convince them.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPHOTO's RFE
Hmmmm.... I didn't have dates or anything on our pictures. Just submitted about 15 pics with no explanation at all. I did have a bunch of other evidence, passport stamps and ticket stubs from 5 trips. I hope this doesn't get me a RFE. None of the pics we have are dated.
One of the pics that I sent is of us sitting in front of a Christmas tree. That pretty much dates that one unless they think we set one up just to stage it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs this NORMAL? NOA2 --> Consulate ... NO NVC
QUOTE (the illusionist @ Jan 25 2008, 08:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
hello VJ members

I received NOA2 hardcopy from VSC today. It says my petition has been approved and forwarded to listed Consulate.

It does not mention National Visa Center at all. I read somewhere that next step after NOA2 is NVC and then Embassy or Consulate.

Is it normal?

Mine did that. The NOA2 said it was sent to the consulate. It did go to the NVC but I couldn't get any information about it until after it left. All cases must go through the NVC to get a new case number. All is well.

The K1 visa petition (I-129F) has been filed. What can we do to get ready for the next step?

Waiting is what you will mainly do. But in the mean time you can make sure your SO has a valid passport, Birth cert, you should get your evidence together for the interview (pictures, proof of an ongoing relationship ect) but mostly just wait. Here is hoping your wait is a short one!

When I sent in our forms I didn't date the pictures. I did send in a lot of "primary" evidence though. I sent copies of my passport showing stamps from the 5 trips I took there and copies of my boarding passes from those 5 trips. There were about 15 pictures that I sent that were spead out over the last 2 years that we have been seeing each other. But none were dated or signed. Will that be a problem?

The whole package will be sent back. Eventually, if she's just your "girlfriend" this will be a waste of time since the I-129F can only be approved for a fiance(e).
