K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSupporting Documents for 129-F & Interview
Hi Everyone!! I am getting ready with my fiancee to submit our paperwork for the 129-F / K1 Visa and I have a question. We have to send our supporting documents (photos/copies of boarding passes, etc). However we also need this same evidence for the interview to receive the K-1 Visa. Will we get back the evidence when we receive our NOA2, so we can bring it to the interview? Thanks to all!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIf the NOA2 has arrived, can I still travel to the US?
Steve's Girl, I will be going to the US for the first time at Easter since receiving our NOA2... I have cleared customs so many times, usually they just ask why I am going, when I am coming back. Did you state to the officer you have a pending Visa, do you have to declare this info or can I just say what I normally do and only offer the info if they ask?! Even though I am prepared, it's still nerve-wracking!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIf the NOA2 has arrived, can I still travel to the US?
Hi Emily, I worried about the same thing. My fiancee called customs and you can travel up until you receive your Visa, so you can travel once you got the NOA2. Customs told him I do need proof I am coming back, so I got a letter from my boss stating that I still am employed there and the date I am due back at work, a bunch of bills to my address, etc. Also if you are flying, the return ticket is evidence you are coming back.
JillAFemaleCanada2008-03-11 18:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGood lord I know I can't be the only one...

Even before IMBRA it was like this. It totally sucked to sit and wait 80, 90 100+ days and see NOA2 in 2 weeks from Vermont. I know it is not Vermont peoples faults that they got lucky but it still sucks watching it.



Not everyone speeds through Vermont.....................It took me 90 days to get our noa2 & I am still waiting for an interview. It doesn't seem fair that people who sent their petitions in a month ago are going to an interview-but that is the way it goes.

I was just as frustrated as all of you are(still am) but trust me-comparing your timelines to other's just makes things so much worse. Your time will come. There is no rhyme or reason to any of this-I felt that my petition sat on someone's desk for ages-while loads of others got approved in record time. We just waited 2 months for a fingerprint appointment-you never know what is going to happen-who is going to get your case-what new law they are going to pass. I waited just as long as some people do at CSC and I live in Philadelphia.

It is hard but be patient

I hope you all get good news soon (F)


Same here haven't had a touch since may 1st either.


And it looks like you've been waiting since January... I'm sorry to hear that.

Why would they take so long? There's nothing special about our case... It's the first time we've ever applied for anything like this, we haven't been previously married to anyone, we don't have kids, and we don't have criminal records. We're your regular twenty-somethings who have graduated, have good jobs, have student loans to pay off and are itching to start our lives together. We met online almost 7 years ago and have visited each other countless times over those years. Does my case need to be "complicated" for someone to actually pay attention to it? *rolls eyes*

...if only the fiance hadn't forgotten to sign the cheque the first time, we wouldn't have got caught in this IMBRA thing.

shoulda coulda woulda



I thought the same thing................why is it taking so long? both single-no children-no prior marriages-you just never know. Now I know our case was pulled for a random security check(which began when we filed in Dec). We should be having the interview soon-but our case is a perfect example.................not everyone flies through Vermont in 10 days!

woulda-coulda-shoulda is right..........I have done that to myself over and over-it will drive you mad. things will speed up soon ;)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLong Birth certificate for USC

zyggy,

My birth certificate, issued by the county registrar's office many many years ago, is not 8-1/2x11. It's still as valid today as it was the day it was issued.

Yodrak

.... The only document that is an actual Birth Certificate in the US is the 81/2 X 11 one with all of the birth information...



Same as Pennsylvania-I just ordered a "long-form" which just has my parents information on it(I thought it would look different but doesn't). They are all the same size here :yes:

No, I will never give up, I am just sick of the USCIS, they are just pissing me off, thats all!!!!



Same thing happened to us-look at my timeline. It happens-it isn't fair but there is nothing we can do about it. We waited 90 days for the noa2-while some people that filed MONTHS after us have already had interviews and now have their visas. I am still waiting for my man to have his interview in Dublin.


I am pissed off too-believe me but unfortunately-it is a waiting game. You will hear good news soon (F)

we were told at USCIS that we were in "security checks" and we got approved shortly after that-it didn't take 6 months even though they said it could.

My status has not been updated since 05/01/06 and I have not gotten my RFE yet. So I decided to call USCIS today again. I was told that I will be mailed RFE within 30 days. It is so frustrating. I am so angry at USCIS. I am afraid that I will not be able to bring my fiancé by January. Is anyone else in the same situation?

HOA 1- April 7

What you have been given is a standard response from a call center operator, not someone from the actual service center so I wouldnt take what they say as gospel as they dont have the answers. I hope you hear something soon from the service center re your RFE.

All the best.

:yes:

they give a standard response to most people-you will probably hear something within the next week or so-I doubt it will be another 30 days!

good luck to ya

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat needs to be noterized???

Ok, thanks guys!

I've already got all the evidence of having met in the past 2 years and an ongoing relationship already photocopied twice. Once for the copy we're gonna send and the copy that my fiance will be sent to me when packet 3 arrives and she sends the affidavit of support.

Which leads me onto another question.

Her grandma will be her co-sponcer. She makes just over the $25,000 we need to show she earns for 4 people in a house. Just over half she makes with her job, the other half is with Social Security.

Will this be ok?
How can we prove the social security?

Thanks!

Phil



not sure about the social security..................there must be a way you can get that info. Trust me about the on-going relationship evidence-they won't care about engagement ring receipts until the interview. It is often misunderstood here on vj-but when you initially file, you are just really proving that you have met withing the past 2 years. A few pics & plane stubs are nice, but don't overwhelm them :no: just my opionion


people here are amazing & will answer whatever they can-so ask away!!!!!


Dont forget the cover page. There are examples in many places. It should tell them what the petition is for and list everything you have included in the package.



:yes:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat needs to be noterized???

Hey,

Bare with me, I'm rather new to all this so I'll be asking many questions I recon. hehe

Just wondering what my fiancee needs to get noterized for my K1 visa. She is a 17 year old US citizen from Bryan OH. I'm a 23 year old British Citizen from England.

This is what we've got in our I-129f so far (as stated in our cover letter):

Contents include:
• Check: Payment in the amount of $170.00
• I-129F Petition for K-1 Fiancé(e)
• I-129F Supplement: Part B, Question 18, explanation of meeting in person
• G-325A and passport style photo (Petitioner)
• G-325A and passport style photo (Beneficiary)
• Birth certificate (Petitioner)
• Letter of consent to marry (Petitioner’s Father) *He has full custody over her*
• Letter certifying intent to marry (Petitioner)
• Letter certifying intent to marry (Beneficiary)
• Proof of having met in person in the past two years
• Proof of ongoing relationship

Then in the Proof of having met in person in the past two years we have the following:

• Photographs of petitioner and beneficiary on June 2003 at Detroit airport MI, July 2005 in Bryan OH, July 2005 at Golls Woods Stryker OH and July 2006 at Bible Park Bryan OH (further pictures are located in the Evidence of Relationship section).
• Identification page of beneficiary's U.K. passport.
• Itinerary of beneficiary's flight to USA in June 2005.
• Itinerary of beneficiary's flight to USA in June 2006.
• Pages 4-5 from beneficiary's passport showing entry into USA on June 24th 2003.
• Pages 26-27 from beneficiary's passport showing entry into USA on December 18th 2002, June 21st 2005 and June 17th 2006.
• Used boarding passes and I-94 form from beneficiary's flight to USA in June 2005.
• Used boarding passes and I-94 form from beneficiary's flight to USA in June 2006.

Then in the Proof of ongoing relationship we have the following:

Photographs of petitioner and beneficiary on July 2006 at East End Park Bryan OH for our engagement party and July 2006 at the Imagination Station (park) in Bryan OH, where beneficiary proposed to petitioner.
• Wedding ring receipt for beneficiary. (Petitioner’s name used as customer for US address).
• Wedding ring receipt for petitioner. (Petitioner’s name used as customer for US address).
• Engagement ring receipt for petitioner. (Petitioner’s name used as customer for US address).
• Phone bill showing beneficiary’s calls to petitioner May 2006. (Beneficiary’s mother’s phone bill account used by beneficiary).
• Phone bill showing beneficiary’s calls to petitioner April 2006. (Beneficiary’s mother’s phone bill account used by beneficiary).
• 2 emails from petitioner to beneficiary November 2005 and April 2006..
• Christmas card from beneficiary to petitioner December 2005.
• Valentines Day card from beneficiary to petitioner February 2006.
• Birthday card from beneficiary to petitioner April 2006.
• Christmas card from petitioner to beneficiary December 2005.
• Valentines Day card from petitioner to beneficiary February 2006.

So which of the above does she need to get noterized and who noterizes them?
How much does noterizing cost?
Do they charge per page? Or will it be one price for all that we need noterized?

Further down our timeline, what other things will we need? I know she will need to get a co-sponcer for the I-134 Affidavit of Support. She currently lives with her father and grandma. Her father is not able to work do to his health so he is on benefits and get money for himself and my fiancee. Her grandma still works and does bring in more the $25,000 which is 125% of the poverty line for a family of 4 (herself, dad and grandma together with me). Her grandma said she would be the co-sponcer. She has a job together with social security. I'm not sure what we need to get noterized for this process or what evidence is needed.

I LIKE TO BE THOROUGH. DON'T WANT THIS PROCESS TO TAKE ANY LONGER THAN IT SHOULD (6 MONTHS IS AVERAGE I THINK)!

THANKS EVERYONE!

Phil



as far as I know the only thing that needs to be notarized is the I-134 affidavit of support & you have time to get that-you will definetly need a co-sponsor. I am not sure what it cost to have something notarized, but I believe it is fairly cheap.

your proof of an on-going relationship sounds great but you don't need to send that in with the I-129F(which you probably already know). you seem to know exactly what you are doing so..............just take a deep breath & get ready for the journey. hope you have a smoth one ;)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSenator help?
I don't think anyone is going to be able to help you at this point-is your case outside processing times?

when our case was 30 days outside of VSC's processing times-I called my senator. I don't know if it helped or not but I am glad that I did it. You sent your petition in April-right? so according to your timeline you sent back rfe info 6/29????? it hasn't even been two weeks-I am sure you will get your answer soon-it is hard but be patient(that is what everyone told me).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence of Ties to Home Country . . .

irishgirl,

Utility bills? Did you miss the part where he is no longer living in his own place and is now living with friends? And what does a credit card bill demonstrate other that one is in debt?

The fellow's history of of visits to the USA actually works in his favor, as opposed to those people who 'visit' the USA for 3 months at a time and then return home to 'live' for 2 weeks before their next 3-month 'visit'.

Yodrak

the employer letter is good but he should have more................how about utility bills? car payment? credit card bills?the fact that he has been here so much on the vwp will definetly bring attention to him. maybe he should have his friends copy the lease or something?

others will give you more help

I realize he isn't living at his own place but I was just trying to help-I mean one paystub/letter from an employer doesn't seem like much at all. I just figured something with a name & an adress would help. Even though he doesn't stay the full 90 days-he is still here often. It only takes one poe officer in a sh*t mood to deny entry-so why not have all the proof you can? :yes:

some people don't have a problem at the poe some do-good luck to ya!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 I129f Waiting for 9 months


Uhm i would deffinatly get ahold of your congressman/woman ASAP, 9 months is too long to wait for ANY service center. I know how you feel bout the not getting beyond the CSR when you call, its as far as i ever got as well, and none of them are helpful anyway. Your lawyer should have been contacting your state rep id say months ago, there is something wrong if youve waited this long.
The only other thing i can think of is you could be in AR, and AR can take this long, from what ive seen of other people going through AR. I would deffinatly try to find this out.
Good luck to ya
hugs,
Tara


What is AR? Don't see it in the appendix.



AR is Administrative Review-some casees are pulled for more "in depth" security checks-this could be what happened to you but 9 months???????????????? I woud have called someone by now. You should call USCIS-or if you are paying a lawyer-have them do it. 9 months is ridiculous. Don't you have your case #?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSent in proof of ongoing relationship with petition?
I wasn't implying that people "shouldn't" send evidence-a little something is better than nothing. I just want everyone to be aware that sending tons in with the initial application is definetly NOT necessary.


To each his own ;)

I guess I don't see the point in overwhelming an already overwhelmed service center adjudicator with every single phone bill and email you have had during your relationship. Save that mass of paper for the interview, when you might be asked about it, instead of the petition (where you only 'have' to prove that you've met within the past two years).

If you want to send in something extra with the petition, a small sampling is sufficient (and much less tedious for the adjudicator).



exactly what I am saying :thumbs:
irishgirl73FemaleIreland2006-07-25 13:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSent in proof of ongoing relationship with petition?
This comes up A LOT here on VJ.....................technically you don't have to give them proof of your on-going relationship until the interview. They really just want to know that you have met eachother.

Some people do send in evidence of the relationship-others don't. I sent in a few things-but in hindsight-it wasn't necessary :no: It may have even slowed us down............but I don't know that for sure. Even at the embassy, the woman said she didn't want to go through all the evidence he had-so imagine how they feel at the service centers?

I waited 6 months for an NOA2, BEFORE IMBRA came into effect!...... I then waited in total 9 months for an interview, i just arrived here 4 weeks ago.

I used to check everyday, it was shitty...i hated it.

I just simply hung on by a thread...waiting and waiting..BUT i never once thought about maybe breaking off..NEVER!

Can you come over and see her, can you use the VWP in your country,,maybe stay for 3 months and then at least your 3 months in to the process.

You really do have a long way to go....take care (F)

waiting is the worst-believe me I know-I am STILL waiting but my man is worth every minute of it!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuick question about phone records


I know that phone records are very good evidence, however i read on another thread that it help that the phone bill is in your name. Will it be ok if its in my parents name? Also I will not be calling the states from my parents landline without going through a cheap access number which will not show what number i have called in the world. How can i overcome this? Thanks

Tamzyn

Is this evidence for the initial filing of the I-129F or at interview stage? It is not a requirement of the I-129F when first filed to show an ongoing relationship. Evidence of an ongoing/bonafide relationship is needed at the interview stage unless you have red flags you wish to address and/or the interview will be held in a high fraud country.



Aussie is 100% correct-you don't need to supply that type of information yet. At the initial stage, you just have to prove that you have met your fiance. I sent a few phone bills & I swear it held us up(I have no proof of that-just my opinion). I thought I needed to send a bunch of things but I didn't. Save the phone bills for the interview :yes:

Hi Julie

You have to have original signature from both the USC and the beneficiary on the Biographic forms, and as for the passport photos, I just wrote our names on the back of them and put the dates on there as well in felt tip pen ink. I did that on the rest of the pictures I sent too. I was approved fine.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI feel like crying. Guh.


Yikes what happened to this thread?
IMHO, all Cass was trying to do was rant a little to make herself feel better. It wasn't a personal attack on VSCers. No one from CSC hates you, we envy you that's all. Dont take everything so seriously even when we get a little jealous. We're all still very happy when you get approved, we just wish we could sneak some of our petitions in there :D

No, I haven't, nor has Cass, been waiting that long yet. Who knows, maybe CSC will clean up their act and start approving people in three months again. But until that happens, even though we haven't been waiting long yet, the reportedly long wait ahead of us is depressing to contemplate. Yup it sucks @$$. Nope, it wont be the worst thing in the world we have to endure by far. Yup, in the scheme of things 6-8 months isn't all that long, but its because its these (past for all the IMBRA filers) (future, for all those who filed recently) 6-8 months, they stand out more in our heads than stuff we haven't experienced yet, or stuff in the distant past. OR stuff we haven't experienced happening around the world.
Hell I bit*h and whine to my roommate on a daily basis about how much my "life sucks, I hate this, I'm going to be waiting so lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng (really whiny tone of voice)" Is it really that dramatic? No, but it makes me feel a little better just to get it out.

Life wont be roses after the approval. There's still the expenses associated with interviewing, medicals, moving, AOS, biometrics, etc. etc. etc. Then there's expenses for living while the new USC looks for work. Insurance. A Vehicle? House? Children? It will be tough the whole way until things settle and you begin to establish yourselves. Some people will have it easier and some harder, some through poor planning and others through luck and still others through no discernable fault of their own.

I dont get where all this snappy BS came from honestly. These forums are meant to be a source of support where people can vent when this idiotic process bothers them, not where other members will rip their face off when they disagree with something being said. If you have a difference of opinion by all means spit it out, but don't toss personal attacks at people. If you wouldn't say it to their face in that tone of voice, dont type it out like that either.

Let the flaming begin :whistle:


I'm not going to flame you because you're absolutely right.



I agree :thumbs:
irishgirl73FemaleIreland2006-09-08 13:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI feel like crying. Guh.

I have a reversal of this for you. Imagine being one of the VSC'ers and trying to still be a member of this community. That was the situation for us. I remember trying SO HARD to never complain, to always be upbeat. I was almost embarrassed to post and occasionally I would get some nasty snarky comment about being a Vermont petitioner - it was almost as if we weren't welcome.

It was nearly as painful for me to watch my 'classmates' take so long to process as it was for them. I would feel so bad for them. I too felt it was unfair. I was ever so grateful for my own good fortune, but I really and truly felt terrible for those with other service centers. Back then, I should note that Nebraska was the 'offender' - now that's changed.

Just keep in mind that immigration is never done - not unless you naturalize and even then, that's many years down the road. Each step can bring challenges. We now await my husband's greencard. Our interview was March 9 and we still don't have it - his FBI clearance is not complete.

So just because people have the 'luck' of Vermont doesn't mean they won't have a hiccup later on. It's just this process - I hate to say it but you sort of get used to it after a while. If nothing else it helps teach patience with lifes other little troubles.



Rebecca will tell you that I was very upset in the beginning as well-you have every right to be-but you have a LONG WAY TO GO!!!!! I sent my petition in to Vermont in December & my man was JUST approved a month ago. I have said it a million times NOT EVERYONE speeds through Vermont-just keep that in mind. I am not snapping at you-or judging you but you have to have a little more patience. It is so hard not to read about others approvals & feel a little jealous-but try not to compare your timeline with others. I thought that since we were going through VSC & Dublin we would have breezed through the process but we didnt.(God it seems like it took forever-because it did). One day apart from the one you love is torture-but just take comfort in the fact that you will be together forever once this is all completed.

I hope you get your approval soon-believe me I know exactly how you feel :yes:

hang in there (F)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp...need advice Plzzzz
The best thing you can do in this situation(the visa waiting game) is be as prepared as possible. You realized that you forgot something-the people at the service center will most likely issue an RFE(or if luck is on your side, you will be fine). Just have your copies prepared and you will be fine.

good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDeclaration of how you met in person in the last two years.
The gov't just wants to know that you have met in person within the past two years-that's all. They will want a brief explanation.

example.........."we met at a wedding in Aug 2005". Then on a separate page-explain in more detail if you wish-then you will need to explain all the other times you have seen eachother in the past few years. You could have met 12 years ago-they won't care as long as you still have a valid relationship.

QUOTE (Lightstalker @ Sep 27 2007, 06:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi Guys,


Im filling out my G 325A and have some questions,although Im sure they've been asked before.

1.At the bottom is asks for the "alien registration number"....what is that?. blink.gif

2.Show below last occupation abroad.Does that mean the job im currently in?...

I was unemloyed (went traveling) for a year.Do I write this in the appropriate space?.

There are boxes of which I cant fill in such as the "former husbands or wives" box.Do I just leave this blanc?.


Thanks!.



.

1. you will be assigned an alien registration number later so it's NOT APPLICABLE for now so put N/A.
2. are you working in a country other than where you reside? if not then no.
3. Yes you have to account for all 5 years even if you were unemployed. Put that in the appropriate space in between the other jobs.
4. Don't leave any spaces blank. If you weren't married before put NONE (when something doesn't apply to you put N/A if the answer is none put none) there are samples of these forms on vj at http://www.visajourn...p;page=examples
check them out before you send them in.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy K1 nightmare
My fiance lives in the UK and I've been visiting him once every 2-3 months. I never had a problem coming back though. Nothing more than the routine questions like "who were you visiting" "for how long were you away" etc. If he's being searched my guess is that it is for reasons that are independent of the K1 process like his name or something else like that...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespacket 3 still waiting
Very helpful thread. I am about a week behind you. I called DOS today to see if my case had left NVC because even though it only arrived 2 days ago, I've seen on a few members timeline that it left within a day. I guess I'm just being a little impatient( :yes: ) but I'm ready for this to be over. My fiance too has all the documents ready to be mailed out as soon as we hear London has received our case. His medical is booked for next week!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs this possible???
I received my NOA2 on 2/28 and the London embassy still hasn't logged in our case. At this point I'm guessing our interview date won't be till early May. We have our wedding date of June 25th but nothing is set on stone; at least not until my fiance has his visa...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNon-barometric passport
Hey all,
My fiance is still waiting to hear when his interview date at the London embassy is scheduled for. But meanwhile he is wondering if he should get the new biometric passport. People have told him that the US embassy will not accept his current passport and he'll need the newer version. Does anyone know about this??? His current passport doesn't expire till the end of 2012. I don't the want our hold up to be due to the type of passport he has.

Thanks!

Ahhh then you should change your flag to UK because that's what's important, not the country of birth (if that's why it says Camaroon). You'll get more specific answers that way (because a LOT of the K1 is country dependant).

So here: http://london.usembassy.gov/i864.html you can see at the bottom is says that K1's don't need the I-864 at the UK embassy, so I-134 it is :D

My fiance is interviewing in London, UK. I'll just send both as you said. Thanks!


Depends on the country involved. Some insist on the I-864 even though technically the K1 should only require the I-134.

See here: http://yaounde.usemb...iv_packet3.html it says you can email them to request a packet 3. That will tell you what Camaroon requires. If in doubt send both to her.
