K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs getting pregnant while waiting for K1 visa advisable?
My husband and I also wanted to start our family before the visa was issued, but its a really good thing we didnt. I would have spent the entire pregnancy alone and apart from him, gave birth without him, etc. That would have been emotionally unbearable for me. This visa process is already hard enough on the heart strings, and I wouldnt add anything else to the list if I could prevent it. Now Im glad we waited. It didnt take long to get 'a bun in the oven' after he arrived here. And its soooo much nicer when you can share it. Im wishing you the best of luck for a speedy approval and a bundle of joy when you're ready smile.gif

On the photo, it would depend on what sort of retouching was done and how blatant it is. If its bothering you, yes go get another photo taken just to give yourself peace of mind.

On the employment history, yes, just put down 'unemployed' for the last five years to present. My husband had all kinds of crazy gaps in employment in the 5 years previous to filing, it was a nightmare trying to get it filled out correctly.

Hi,

I am just so close to sending in my K1 peitition. I know it is important to have 2 copies of each document you send in, yet I do not want to spend hundreds of dallors making color copies. Is it okay if I make black and white copies of each paper?

Thanks


Yes,

But I need to know if it is okay to make just black and white copies. For example some of the proof is in color and the signatures are blue. Does that matter then if they are black and white?



Having the entire copy in black and white is fine. If you have the time, scanning it can come in handy down the line. Whether or not you'll need to produce a copy of the entire petition down the line is usually dependent on what your consulate is demanding, as each one is different. I scanned all our stuff and it was immensely helpful down the line when referencing particular pieces and when filing for AOS. But scanning is not required, just helpful at time IMO.

Nearly 40 days and check is not even cashed....

I've noticed some other VJer's that have sent their petition in around the same time I did and their checks or money orders have been cashed. USCIS's website also says all initial data entry should have been done by now.

Now is it time to worry? I know there are delays and all that, but the fact that my check hasn't even cleared yet worries me a lot. I would think the first thing they want is to have 455 dollars more, then get around to the NOA. mad.gif

Anyway, would you give them a phone call by now? Has / is anyone else experiencing this delay? Where would I place my call to?


I was on the 2nd CIS Ombudsman teleconfrence yesterday and they are still working on the receipting delay. They had projected all cases would be marked rcv'd as of 10/31, but the Nebraska svc center is still behind and USCIS still has not provided the rcpt'ing and processing updates the Ombudsman has been req'ing for 4 months. He advises you call USCIS. If your check is not cashed within 90 days (some banks wont honor the check after 3 months) USCIS should still give you the opportunity to send in a fresh check without a penalty/denial, etc. (according to the Ombudsman).

QUOTE (Craig & Julia @ Feb 7 2008, 08:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm putting together my K1 paperwork.. I've been stumped on a few questions

1. My German Fieance's last name has an umlat in it. On her German birth certificate is is only written that way. On her passport it is written both with a ü and ue. Do I just write the umlaut version under the "non-roman letter" question 16 on the 129F and ue everywhere else (including her g325e)?

2. She has a Social Security card from 2002 when she was here on a student Visa. The student visa has expired. The card says "Valid for work only with INS authorization" on the front. Do I use it on any forms?


Go ahead and write the name as it would appear in native language on the 'non-roman letter' box. You wont hurt anything by doing so. USCIS can use it if they want, or not.

Yes, if she has an SSN, you should provide it on forms that ask about it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresF-1 --> K-1 inside the US
IMO if you're being sponsored on the H visa, stick with it. Get married (if and when you are ready) and then file for AOS. Bypass the K visa altogether. However, should you guys decide you need more time to think marriage through (and there's certainly nothing wrong with that), dont overstay whatever visa you're on. It can reflect badly on you later on if you go home and decide to apply for a K visa at a later time.

Whatever you choose, good luck! good.gif

I just returned from a six month stay with my fiance. I am currently staying with my parents (and have used their address) until my fiance's visa gets approved. Because I haven't worked for the previous 6 months, my parents have agreed to co-sponsor my fiance. Upon closer inspection of the Mumbai consulate's website I found this:

If the additional sponsor lives in the same household as the petitioner, he/she is considered a household member, and cannot fill out a separate I-864. Such household members must execute a form I-864A, as described in paragraph iv below.

I just want to clarify the definition of household as not to delay getting this information to him as his interview is a month away. Thanks!


The I-864 is not used for K1 visas. Two separate I-134's are fine. When the time comes to adjust status after marriage, you'll do the I-864 as appropriate for the circumstances then.


Not true. Some consulates do require the I-864. Maroc did when we interviewed for the K1.

For the OP: I would check with others in the regional forum about their experiences with your same consulate at interview time and what they were asked to provide. You should also rcv the proper forms required by your consulate in packet 3/4.

IME, Maroc doesnt give a rat's patootie about the affidavit of support. However, I overloaded them with evidence of my ability to sponsor my husband and meet/beat the 125% of the poverty line. IMO, if you currently meet/beat the 125% of the poverty line (inlcuding assets like savings), then go at it alone. If you're borderline, go ahead and get a co-sponsor just for a little CYA. Maroc is really good about changing their pickiness without telling people. When Ahmed had his interview, I was only beating the poverty line for the current year. Every year before that I was at or below, but we had no problem. The consulate didnt even look at all my lovely evidence.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEnter US While K-1 Visa is Being Processed and Work Permit
QUOTE (Peja @ Feb 7 2008, 04:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
1) If we file for K-1 visa for her, during the visa processing, would she be able to enter US on her tourist visa?
2) Once my fiancee gets K-1 visa, would she be able to work once she enters US? If not how fast can she obtain work permit?


1) Yes she can attempt to visit, but that does not mean she will be admitted. They can refuse her at the POE, even with a valid tourist visa. To avoid this, I would advise her having some strong proof of home times and intent to return there and wait out the processing over the K visa. Things like a job, bank account, family relations, etc. That being said, I do hope she does get to visit successfully. Having a mutliple-visit tourist visa is a Godsend when you're waiting on the K visa mess.

2) K-1's are legally authorized to work for the first 90 days upon entry into the US, incidental to their status. However, its hard to dig up enough documentation on this to satiate an employer, so you may wish to get the stamp anyways. She can get a temp EAD stamp at the POE. I think right now the only POE providing that is JFK. I have heard of instances where your local USCIS field office will give one if properly persuaded, but they are few and far between. Best to inquire in advance about those things. That temp EAD stamp is good for 90 days. I have seen many cases where an employer will keep the new immigrant on, after their temp EAD expires, if they provide proof they have applied for AOS/EAD/AP. So she may not have to quit her job while waiting for the status change.

Good luck and best wishes for a speedy approval! good.gif

If Im not mistaken, you may be eligible for emergency AP in such a case. Those in the military sometimes qualify for the fast lane in some cases. Have your fiance consult legal advice on his base and/or his superiors. Unfortunately, I dont think you'd be able to stay in Japan to be closer to Korea. Once your visa is issued, you have six months to travel to the US before it expires and 90 days from entry to marry so you can file for AOS (and the EAD and AP). But again, you guys may be able to get some expedited service because he's in the military. I wish you the best of luck!

As mentioned above, you can check for touches on the USCIS website.

Mind you, checking the website gets pretty addictive smile.gif You'll find yourself checking for touches 5 times a day.

Dont worry too much about the processing times USCIS has posted. There usually off-base. Although they are starting to catch up from the summer overload, so Im hoping your wait wont be too long. Keep an eyeball on other folks who filed the same time you did (timelines) and your peers in the regional forum. IMO thats a much better guide than USCIS little ersatz spreadsheet.

HI Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows the restrictions of traveling from the US once you entered it using the K-1?
Do you have to wait till your married to travel outside US? Is it possible once in US with K-1 but before you marry to travel outside US. Just wondering if anyone went though this???

Regards and Congratz to eveyone getting their noaa-2. We are still waiting.


Once you enter the US on a K1 visa you will have to get married within the 90 days.
After marrige you apply for the AOS (Adjustment of status) when you apply for this you can also apply for the AP (Advance parole) this is currently included in the fee of 1010 Dollars.
So you can either leave the US to visit another country with the AP or with the greencard itsself,dont attempt to leave the US without it,you would have to apply for the K3 visa to get back in(in the worst case)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProof of Relationship Question

I would like to include the snail mails and chats as proofs of our relationship. My concern is there are some parts of the chats/mails that sounds too personal (i.e. kinky). Please do not think I am a freak or something LOL. But what if there are some parts of the mail/chats we don't want them to read, what should I do about it? Thanks a lot.


I would suggest a neat line through it with a Sharpie. I, too, did not want our personal conversations (or anything that could be misconstrued) under review. Just showing the dates and the names was sufficient. I just printed out the most suitable chat conversations with timestamps and marked out anything I didnt want shared with strangers.

I also included most of our snail mail envelopes, but not all the contents. I felt like some of the cards and letters were too private. And really, the envelopes with names and postmarks were good enough to establish that aspect of the relationship.

Best of luck on your visa!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresaffadavit of support

i know this may have been asked already, but i cannot find a similar topic...sorry :/

i only make 21,256 a year (im a student). i will only be supporting him, i do not think thats enough though. theres a calculator to check but i cant make it out because though ill only be suporting him, we will be living with my parents for a couple of months..so my household size is 4. therefore, my sister will co sponsor for me. i read from many of you guys that a bank letter is necessary, but is it really? my sister just gave birth and she wont be able to go to the bank any time soon and i want to send everything asap. is it really necessary or will w-2, job letter, and pay stubs suffice?

thanks!


You are well over the requirement for a household of 2 (18,387) based on income. You don't need anything from a bank.
you will need IRS tax return copies 3 previous year or transcript, W-2, letter employment and pay stubs.


Look up the I-864P on the USCIS website for the 211 poverty level guide.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureslast ? for the experts for a few weeks Please help
Looks like you've got a good petition put together :) If you still need ideas for proof of having met (or at least from having been your fiance's city/country of residence) I included copies of my luggage tags, my flight iteneraries, and loads of receipts for atm and credit card transactions. You may have already thought of that stuff, but when I was putting my petition together I was racking my brain and searching the forums and guides for all the ideas I could get. Make sure you make copies of the ENTIRE petition before you mail it. I scanned the whole thing into my computer instead of creating more masses of paper to keep up with. This way I can scan in new pieces (like the certified mail receipt and the NOA1) as I get them, and then print out complete copies later on.

You'll feel alot better once the petition is on its way to the USCIS. Good Luck! :)
