I said it before, I'll say it again.
With the USCIS you're guilty until proven innocent :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdvice Needed Please
Ahmed and I have a photograph of us wearing our wedding rings and we are debating as to whether or not we should include it with the photos he is taking to the interview. Would this be interpreted as a sign of us already being married, and thereby jeopardizing the K-1? Or would it be considered as proof that we intend to get married, and thereby strengthen our case? I have read similar discussions about couples including photos of their engagement ceremony and how it could cause problems, but this photo didnt quite seem to fall in the same category. Has anyone else wrestled with this sort of thing? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Gabi and Ahmed

Just drop them an email and bring it to their attention, and email the consulate to let them know as well. Nip it in the bud before it can cause a problem (if any at all).

And Congrats :) Best wishes for a speedy approval.

I collected all the original evidence from my side (plane tickets, paper correspondence, photos, etc) bound them neatly and sent them to Ahmed for his interview. He will add his portion of originals (like correspondence) to make one large combined packet of originals.

Welcome to VJ, its always nice to see another couple from Maroc :) Best wishes for a speedy approval.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressaving the G-325a form
I think you're up the crick hon. Unless you want to fork over the dough for the super-duper-extra-wonderful version of Acrobat, you're stuck. When we did ours we filled them out on the computer, printed them, trashed the extras, then went through with a red pen to mark corrections. After the proofreading, we re-entered everything into the forms and reprinted them. It was a little time-consuming, but alas it was pretty much our only option.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPreparing I-129F

[font=Arial][size=2]
Hello all,

I've been reading the posts for a few days now, gathering all the nuggets of info that everyone's pooling together. I've only just started filling out the forms here at home, then will take them to my fiance (still getting used to that word...) in 2 weeks time to finish off. Still haven't told the parents...neither of us have. Mostly because mine will think I'm too young (going to be 21 in June) and expect me to start working in the UK after I graduate this summer...Got a feeling this is the start of a long, lonely road, which is why I joined the forum today. Everyone seems so helpful.

Please reply if you have any advice for filing the I-129F, experiences of the CSC or feel the pressures of being a young'un.

Thanks!


Best to go ahead and spill the beans now, holding on to it just makes things harder. When I called my folks I got this long drawn-out groan from my father, then he proceeded to drive nine hours just to come see me and give me a good talking to. And Im 27 :) He got over it, and both parental units have come to realize Im an adult and I can make my own good decisions. Yours will too, just be patient, let the groans roll off and show them that yes, you really know what you're doing. Welcome to VJ, feel free to PM me if you like. :) Cheers

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLast update
Chances are its a canned letter stating to allow more time. I went round and round with CSC about things 'supposedly' being mailed to me. Our case was touched at least a dozen times before NOA2, and most of them meant nothing more than some adjudicator had picked up the file and looked at it, but didn't necessarily do anything to it. Unless you are anticipating an RFE (which I know is sometimes difficult to gauge), I would not worry too much about it. On the other hand, congrats on the touch! I hope it means your approval is right around the corner! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresevidence question
Banking records are a great way of putting yourself in a certain place at a certain time, if you dont have receipts to show. Although they arent usually dated, business cards can also be useful for proving you visited the country. For example, I submitted a copy of the business card for the jeweler where Ahmed and I bought our rings in Morocco. And as noted above, things like passport stamps, photos, and boarding passes help prove that you have met your fiance(e). Depending on what phase of the process you are in, you may wish to retain some of this evidence for the actual interview, rather than stuffing it all in the original petition. Just my 2 cents, though. Good luck, and welcome to VJ! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures$170 Check
You should be just fine. Make sure your name is referenced on the check, that's all. As long as it's made out to the right place, is written for the correct dollar amount, and has a valid date they'll take it. Best of luck! :)
yassmine2878FemaleMorocco2006-11-07 15:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed your opinion
I don't think its something you need to address in the original petition. The purpose of the petition is to get your foot in the door. Addressing red flags is something to focus on when you get to the consular level, since at that point, things are done on a case-by-case basis. And, as Rahma mentioned, please do come join us in the ME/NA regional forum. We'd love to have you, and there are several of us from Morocco there. :)

You're right, some of those touches dont mean anything. I was beginning to get pretty jaded after all our touches, thinking we were never going to get NOA2. But it will get there! I hope they hurry up for your sake, I know it's nerve-wracking being jerked around by their user-hostile customer service.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs this an RFE?

Hey Guys...

So I got touched yesterday for first time in months and again today... got all excited and then it said this....



Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status:

On November 9, 2006, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case. The notice explains in detail what additional material is needed. If you have questions about the notice, what is required, or if 30 days have passed and you have not received the notice. Please contact the service center where you submitted your application during business hours


Is this an RFE?

Will it put us back any?

Do I have reason to feel like crying?

AM I really just being a big wimpy baby?

hehehe HELP!!!!!


It's okay to cry, we've all been there. It sounds like an RFE, hopefully it will arrive soon and you can get it taken care of quickly and be back on track. Best wishes for you! We're here if you need a shoulder. (F)

http://www.visajourn...h...st&p=550839

You can also PM me and Ill email you a copy of the questions we used to study from. Every consulate and case is different, though. Some ask lots of questions, some dont. You might want to check the regional forum to see if anyone else has completed their interview in Nigeria recently, they might be able to give you more precise information than me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview Success!

Hi Congrats!

I read your post and I just have a few questions. Did they actually say that he should have his visa in hand in 1 to 2 weeks? My fiancee Mohamed had his interview in Casa on September 26th. It has been almost 6 weeks. I am just surprised to hear that they said it would go through that fast. I hope it is true for you.

Janelle


Ahmed said the lady told him 1-2 weeks, but Im not holding my breath. You may want to email the consulate to see what's up. Although they dont seem to have alot of control over the time-frame for AR, they might be able to tell you what stage its in. Best wishes for you!

does anyone know how long we have to wait for my fiancee to get a sked for interview? I received the NOA2 last month and Im just wondering how many months does it take to have the papers forwarded to Manila?


Check out the timelines of others who have already gone through Manila, it should give you a good estimate of past timetables. Also have a conflab in the regional forum to see what's currently up from others who have just gone through there or are about to. Good luck! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTranslation

Thanks everyone. I'm Elena's fiance.

We're lucky to have found this board; lots of useful information here. :)

Elena already stated it, but they want to see the evidence that I was in fact in her town to see her. The bank statements show the date, time and place where I withdrew money from ATM machines. I still have the ATM-receipts, but those receipts don't show my name, and only the last 4 digits of my account number.

Thanks for the help, now I can get started on translating them.


Its a good idea, IMO, to use bank statements. I included copies of my bank statements to show specific purchases in Rabat, in our petition. Best of luck for a speedy approval! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTranslation
If Im not mistaken, you can do self-translation. As I recall I had a smiliar question for USCIS when we were getting ready to file and I called them about it. They said as long as the person doing the translation signs a letter stating that they are fluent in the language and English, its a correct translation, blah blah then its all good. They rule may have changed since we filed, but it might be a good idea to go do a little digging in the guides or the USCIS website. Translation services can be expensive and you might be able to save some dough by DIY. And of course, if I am wrong someone please speak up because I dont want to be the voice of misdirection :blush:

Yes, you should have a copy of the records, you will need them here (for AOS, I think). My honey didn't go to her cuz she was too busy the day he wanted to go. Najia did go to her, perhaps she'll see your post tomorrow after her interview. As always, best of luck!


Thank you :)

Did he just get a copy of the vac recs, or was he allowed to see the whole report that was going to the consulate?

Middle East and North AfricaQuestions about Dr. Zirari Khadija
For those of you who had your medical exam with Dr. Khadija (or if your spouse or fiance had the exam with her), what was your impression of the doctor? Do you feel like she was forthright and honest? Was she intimidating? Did she make you feel uneasy about the results she was sending to the consulate? Also, is the beneficiary allowed to have a copy of his/her results after the medical exam? I know in America patients have the right to know the results of their medical tests (albeit after jumping through a few hoops), is this also the case in other countries, namely Morocco?
