Getting congressional help, for me at least, is easier said then done. I contacted several and got a completely different excuse every time about exactly why they couldn't help. :angry: >.< It is good to know for sure who was telling the truth (none of them) and who will be getting my vote next election (none of them!)

Someone asked inside the thread about the divorce rates for international marriages ... in another thread here on VJ someone had pegged tham at 20%.... comapred with over 50% for regular marriages. Heck - 25% of all marriages that end in divorve do so before the time it takes to get an NOA1 :P !!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions about K-1 Visa
Eveline, thanks for the info. That's exactly what I was looking for.

QUOTE (ikarus @ Jul 13 2008, 09:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Once you send in your k1 application, the processing times are different depending if you send it to the california center or the virginia center. For example, I sent mine in February and it went to virginia. It got approved in less than 2 months. A friend of my friend sent his in january of this year, and hmmm....the case hasn't been approved. So that is the first time variance that you might find; and yes, then I believe it also depends on the country the fiance is from. You can go to the timelines and look at couples from fiance's country and kind of estimate how long it took for them to receive the paperwork from the consulate, etc.

I just looked and most of them are around 200+ days....that's really disheartening. sad.gif But I guess the sooner we get the paperwork started, the sooner he can get out here. Thanks for the info.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions about K-1 Visa
Hello everyone. Glad I found this forum because I'm just starting the Visa process and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. After reading the sticky, I was happy to find all the helpful information on the site. However I still have a few questions...

Someone in another thread mentioned that the processing times are different for some countries. Is this from the point of me (the US Citizen) sending off the application? Or how long it takes once it gets to my fiance's country? Either way, has anyone done the process for someone in Japan? Is it about average in the wait time? I'm really anxious about this because we have a baby daughter together and I want to get him out here as soon as possible.

Also...once the Visa is approved, does he have to get here right away? As in, Visa gets approved in January, he must get here by February? Does the 90 days start from the time of approval? Or from his arrival in the US?

Thanks so much for any help and feedback.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBaby Proof of Ongoing Relationship?
So I'm getting things ready to mail out everything to get the wheels turning on the K-1 Visa. The part where we prove an ongoing relationship is kinda tough. We chat online mostly so never really email each other and we don't write or talk on the phone. Is the fact that we have a child together proof enough of an ongoing relationship? The big problem I'm seeing though is that he's not on the birth certificate. We were having some problems at the time and he wasn't around to get put on it before he had to return to Japan. Would they just take my word on it? I mean I have pictures of all three of us and such....but do I even need to worry about it? Is it just not something they'll accept as 'proof'?

show me!!!
As is said earlier, I would not recomend it, but the LAW allows it, w/o talking about intent. The USCIS does not even use that 30/60/90 day rule, as does the DOS.

I also recommended that they talk to a knowledgeable immigration attorney, as they CANNOT advise clients to take illegal actions.



Hmm I found this on the USCIS website, in regards to a FAQ on how to get your fiance into the US. It seems you're both kinda right....

QUOTE
What if my fiancé(e) uses a different kind of visa, or enters as a visitor without visa, to come here so we
can get married?
There could be serious consequences. Attempting to get a visa or enter the U.S. by saying one thing when you intend another may
be considered immigration fraud, for which there are severe penalties. Those penalties include restricting a person’s ability to
get immigration benefits, including permanent residence, as well as a possible fine of up to $10,000 and imprisonment of up to five
years. It is not appropriate for your fiancé(e) to enter the U.S. as a visitor with the intent to marry you and remain to try to become
a permanent resident. It is appropriate, however, to enter as a visitor to have the wedding in the U.S. and then return to a foreign
residence for further processing for U.S. immigration as a spouse. You should come prepared with proof of your clear intentions in
this regard.


You can't enter the US with the intent to marry and expect to stay in the US while the K3 is being processed. You can come, marry and then the foreign spouse has to return to their country while the K3 is being processed. That's if I'm reading it correctly.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespassport pic
When my fiance got his Passport picture over in Japan, he just wore a t-shirt and didn't shave because that's how he normally looks. Of course he asked me if it was ok and I was pretty sure it wasn't a problem. But his mother saw the pictures and just about died. How could he take an official photo without shaving? And he was smiling! That really got her all worked up lol Apparently in Japan you don't smile for official pictures. So basically I just say, wear whatever and go looking like you normally do. And smile! It's a happy picture for a soon to be happy occasion!

Sorry Michelle, but I call it as I see it. It's not that I don't want the relationships in question to work out, it's just that I very much doubt they will, and I don't like to see decent people being taken advantage of, that's all.


But you know nothing about their relationship outside of a picture you see that makes you immediately think "Nope, won't work. He/she is using them for the greencard." And again, that's not what this forum is about. People come here for help and support, not to be told they're being used or that it will never work. It's perfectly fine to have an opinion about another person's relationship but it's another thing to state it so blatantly.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEntire Application Packet Returned
Sorry my net died in the middle of posting it seems. Anyway...

I'm so upset...I mailed out my packet on the 25th and it was received on the 28th. I checked and checked to see if the check was cashed, especially after someone who's packet was received the same day as mine had their cash checked. Nothing. Got a little worried but thought maybe I was just unlucky in the order they processed at. Well I get the mail and there's a package from the Dept of Homeland Security. Inside was my entire application packet and check and a paper stating that I needed to resubmit with the proper amount written on the check. Since I don't have a checking account and wanted to be able to track when they cashed the payment, I had my mom write a check for me. In the numerical amount, she wrote $455.00 but in the 'written out' part she wrote Four Hundred and 55/100. I'm so...so angry. But at myself. Because I noticed it and I almost said something but, being stupid, I figured since the number part was correct it wouldn't matter. Now I have to start all over. I can't even express how angry I am with myself. My mom's trying to make me feel better by saying it's only added a few weeks to the process but I still can't stop blaming myself. star_smile.gif

Hey there, Just had a quick question. If two people are engaged and want to visit eachother for lengthy stays during the lengthy K-1 process is it okay?

I dont mean get married on the travel visa but just stay with eachother while the K-1 is processing. Would it hurt our chances of getting approved?

also would it then make us have to wait 6 months from the travel visa she used before she could actually use the K-1?

One last thing, Do many people get in trouble for marriage on travel visas? It doesnt seem like someone could, though it might not be the smartest thing to do i understand. what are the downsides?

Thank you.



From what I've read around the site, visiting your fiance in America for short times during the K-1 Visa process isn't breaking any rules but there's also some factors that you need to consider. You could be denied entry into the country at the airport should they be suspicious of your intentions and you are unable to provide proof that you will be returning to your home country (return ticket, apartment lease, letter from employer, etc). But it sounds like you want to use a travel visa to stay in America during the entire waiting period? I'm not too sure how well that would work since you have to do a lot of work in your own home country at the end of the process. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can give you better information about this.

I'm not sure why someone would tell you to mail it to Nebraska but all K1 Visa applications for your state have been handled by the California Service Center since at least last summer.

I'd imagine though that yes, he would have to redo the letter and mail you another one sad.gif I definitely wouldn't risk sending in the one you have and risk getting an RFE over something so small.

Well my advice is to check the Timelines on the site and the processing times for the Service Center you'd be using to see whether K1 or K3 visas are getting processed faster. Unfortunately you don't have much control over how long the process takes so I'd advise to make a decision which way to go and get started as soon as possible.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow to get a copy of the marriage certificate?
I understand that as "Last at time of marriage" would be the last name you were using before you go married and (presumably) took your husband's last name. The only reason you would write something in the next section is if your last name on your BC was different from your 'maiden' name. Ie, you got married once before and kept your ex-husband's last name.

I don't think so either. Also, does his student visa have a residency requirement? I've read here that folks with a student visa have to live in their countries for 2 years before coming back. Have you checked that out?



That requirement usually comes with some J-1 visas, not with F-1 visas. Student visas are usually F-1. If he has a J-1 and it does have that requirement, it would state so on his visa and his DS-2019. If he has an F-1 visa and an I-20, he should be ok.


Ehh..? I have no clue what kind of visa he got. And I doubt he does either...he's not good at remembering those things... So, god forbid, he did he did have a J-1 with a requirement, would that mean no matter what we couldn't get him here for 2 years?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding personal checks
Well I can say from personal experience that my entire packet was sent back because my check said "Four hundred and 55/100" on the written area even though the numbers said $455. That's a bit bigger of a mistake than yours but I wouldn't be surprised if yours did get sent back sad.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUndeliverable Document for I129 filed in Mar at CSC
I dunno if it's the NOA1. Because before I even got mine in the mail, I had a notice on my case that it had been sent. Did you ever see anything like that? I'm confused how, if it was NOA1, it was undeliverable... They're not certified or even signed delivery. Heck, when they sent back my entire I-129F petition they sent it regular mail and it has a lot more confidential info than a NOA1. The fact that they said they don't know what the document is though.....doesn't make sense. You think they'd keep track of what was mailed out...
