K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswithdrawn of tourist visa
and with POE officers, they have whats known as "expedited removal powers" which they are given to turn away/deny someone and send them on their way at the port-of-entry where you enter.

Because ultimately, they are the ones who decide to let you in or not, and remember, especially with a visa, and even worse off, a B1/B2 tourist visa, AND being from a third world country such as Indonesia

A visa basically gives you permission to approach the POE and "ask for permission" to enter the U.S. a visa doesn't mean that you've been granted the right to enter, only to ask, which in turn the POE officer then decides.

Sux huh? crazy law. welcome to America

Just a thought: You can send the papers directly from Egypt, when you go visit him. And have him keep a copy just in case, for the interview.

My divorce papers were in spanish so I had them translated to english by a certified translator.

I think they said that copies were fine and to send originals if asked. But when the time came to send all my documents, I sent them all original blush.gif just to be safe, and not have them ask for it later.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiling the forms
QUOTE (jasman0717 @ Feb 6 2009, 11:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You can certainly use the PC to fill them in. If you don't have enough room just add supplemental sheets for any questions requiring more space. Have you had a chance to read the guides here on VJ, they are very helpful. Good luck good.gif



Yes my friend. I must have read almost everything about the K-1 in VJ and I feel more confident that we can really pull this one out. This is one fight in which we are going to give our 150%. Thanks for your help....all of you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiling the forms
Hello. I'm new at this forum and I can say is the best I've seen about visa info. I'm about to begin the loooooong journey to finally be with my loved one. I'm from Puerto Rico and she is from Romania. My question is simple. Is about the forms shown in VJ. Can they be filled on the pc and then printed? Or do I have to print them and then fill them by hand? Are both ways correct and accepted?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

PEACE............

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhen to file I-129F
QUOTE (Gri5w4ld @ Feb 7 2009, 09:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi, I am going to visit my fiancee in just a couple months in the philippines and i'm wonder when I should start the K1 process. I want to start it now so it will go through faster but i'm not sure if I am required to meet with my fiancee before I even start the process or not. thx for the help everyone.


Hello...I'm also about to begin the process like you. If you go here http://www.visajourn...p;page=examples and check the I129F form you'll see that in question #18 you have to explain how you and your fiancee met. Or if not you'll have to then explain how the relation was established.

If by any chance I'm wrong please someone with more knowledge in the matter correct me.

PEACE..........

I have to say that this site has been a blessing for her and me. It has cleared many of our doubts, eased our minds and made us more confident on what will be our biggest challenge. I thank God for the day I found this site. Congratulations for those that made it and those that have kept it going. My hat is off to you people. I will keep you posted our process. Rest assured that for her I will break any wall that can appear between us.

Yes my friend. I know I can't file until I meet her. That question came to my mind and almost kept me awake all night. hehehe....... It's ok now. The paper work we can do if we are super ultra careful, avoid delays caused by us and don't waste any time. If it is evidence they want they will have it by truckloads for the day of the interview

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPossible minimum time?
Hello again. This question came to my mind yesterday. Is there something like "applying too soon" for a K-1 visa. I met my fiancee last summer. Then we spoke hours and hours either on chat, video chat, cell phone, normal phone, whatever we could use to communicate. And when I say "hours" I mean "HOURS". Last November we decided we were made to each other and kept in touch even more. Now I'm going to meet her in Romania and I plan on staying 3 weeks in which we plan to also meet her parents and officially engage.

I already have about 6 phone bills showing my calls to her and received from her, a small mountain of chat logs, date, time and duration of Skype calls, mail that we've actually exchange like gifts and the likes, receipt for the ring I will buy for her. And not counting the dozens and dozens of photos I plan on taking along with anything I can put my hands on to show that I really met her. And of course her evidence.

Now comes my question. Is there a chance that we could be denied for not having enough time of relationship even by having tons of proof? After I meet her it will be hell for us to wait some months to just begin the long K-1 process. And I plan.....if we are lucky enough and we try to eliminate any delay caused by us.....to have her here by next xmas and close to that marry her.

Any help or tips will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

PEACE.............

The answer for your last question is yes. Someone that has his or her K-1 has up to 6 months to enter USA. Then the 90 days clock will begin.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCalling for Your Help!
Though I'm also new in this journey I think I can help you with at least one question.

2) Is the visa valid for 90 days or 6 months from date of issue in London?

The 6 months and 90 days times are separate. Once the visa is issued you or your fiance(e) have up to 6 months to use it (enter USA). Once you use it you or your fiance(e) have up to 90 days to get married, which is the purpose of the K-1 visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespossible question on future interview
She worked at the postal office for almost 4 years. She's 25 year old now so she started working almost after finishing school. She had to quit because her parents moved to another house and it was too far from her job. I just hope this will not affect the outcome of the interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespossible question on future interview
Hi again. I am almost ready to submit the I-129F once I get back to Puerto Rico. My fiancee asked me if the fact that she's unemployed since November 2006 can affect somehow her interview, whenever it happens, because while reading the embassy reviews, specifically the one in Romania, she read some of the questions that were asked and found that 2 people were asked about why they were unemployed. I don't know what to answer her to ease her mind so I hope I can get some help here

Many thanks in advance.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow to track the money order if the USCIS cashed it or not
In the receipt there is a control number. In my case, with a Western Union money order and as the guy at the post office told me, I call the number shown in the receipt and then follow the instructions to input the control number. I will have to do the same in a few days.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresScared
I know how you feel my friend. I just started this process yesterday. We talked about this and how long it will possibly take. We promised to be strong to each other. We will do what Leo said. Speak as much as we can. It is not the same as being together. We just ended a 3 week vacation together. But it is much better than nothing. If I have to put the best moments in my life in a list, those 3 weeks would be in the #1 spot. But if I have to put the worst ones in a list, the separation at the airport last Monday takes the #1 spot also.

Be there to each other. Support each other. We are already talking about plans for our future. One thing is sure....we are not giving up on each other. Remember......love can win over everything. This process is not easy. The road to happiness is never easy. But you are not alone. You have friends here who are doing exactly the same.

If you want, feel free to pm me and we'll help each other also. God knows that before this process is finished I will need some help too.

PEACE.......................

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresReally worried now
I sent the I-129F last Thursday by FedEx. According to their site and using the tracking number it was delivered next day at 10:30 AM. Today I wanted to print the receipt where it shows the signature of the one who got my package, somebody called A.Stanley. All ok until that part. By checking the printout I notice that the package was delivered to a place called St. Jebans instead of St. Albans. I wrote the delivery address correctly so I don't know how this happened. And after a search I didn't find a place called St. Jebans in Vermont.

Probably I'm being mighty ignorant here but I sure am worried. Did Fedex probably sent the package to the wrong address or is it maybe a typo on their website? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

PEACE.....
