K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBuy air ticket before the interview?
Not yet.. Worst thing is ,even if the visa is in hand, you'll see errors and misspelled entries in your passport that needs to be returned to embassy for corrections, this is rare though , but it happens. You can't be sure unless you have it in hand.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe RFE Master List

Hello everyone...I've got a question and am hoping that someone else has experienced something similar.

On 3/18, I received a notification of an RFE - the ususal...my case is suspended until I reply. I'm waiting on the hard copy to find out exactly what they need. Today, 3/20, my case status was updated again with an RFE notification. I called USCIS and they refused to tell me if it's a duplicate or if it's a separate RFE that will need a response.

Has this happened to anyone else?




It's only one RFE. We got our RFE notices Feb 20, and Feb 25,.. we received the hardcopy on the 28th. It's the same one. Maybe they change it's date, on the day they finally mailed it off. No worries.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForgot ONE sheet of paper...(I-129F)

Honestly I would go with sending it. Worst case scenario is that it gets lost and you get an RFE and have to resend with the RFE sheet.

At least you tried right?

Otherwise you’ll sit and worry the whole time and wonder if you should have sent it.

(If you are at all like me anyways :blush: )


My fiance mailed it in. Hopefully they will save everyone time and just attach it to the file. I don't understand why they wouldn't. Waste of time to send an RFE for it when it's in their hands. I will keep you all updated.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForgot ONE sheet of paper...(I-129F)

I am curious what he has? My Ontario divorce certificate says right on the top right corner "FORM 36B Certificate of Divorce".

What did you submit instead?


It's the usa one, I knew it wasn't right-there was no seal or anything on it. He has the right one. We are going to send it in anyways and hopefully this will save us from getting an RFE. If anyone has run into this, please let me know what happened.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForgot ONE sheet of paper...(I-129F)

I would wait until you have your CSC or VSC number.

Then send it with a cover letter making sure that you have that number on the certificate and the cover letter.

It’ll be easier for it to get married up with the file that way.


Do you think we would still get an RFE for this? Or will we be ok?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForgot ONE sheet of paper...(I-129F)
After months of putting together our file, I asked and reasked and nagged a little more to see if my fiance's divorce certificate is the right one. He assumed it was but it just didn't look right to me. We JUST mailed our forms in, received a receipt number, and NOW he finds out his divorce "certificate" isn't a certificate. He actually has it on him. Should he send it to the Vermont Centre now or wait for the NOA1? Do you think this will add to our waiting time or are we being preemptive by sending it in now? I'm so frustrated!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow much is K1 application fee

I was already married to a u.s citizen but I have a friend who's gonna file for K1 visa and he wants to know how much it costs him to file this year.. i heard that it's $340.00 so it went down is it true? because when we file in 2010 my husband paid $455.00 thanks.

Yes, it's $340

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStaying with Fiance while waiting for K1 to go through...

I'm currently in the US with my USC fiance to wait it out, as you plan to do. I don't have a home in Canada anymore, so am using a friend's address in Vancouver (where I'll be interviewing) to receive my packet 3 and 4. I'll have everything prepared ahead of time, using the online packet 3, and plan to return once I have my interview date (or a little before, to sell my car and organize my move, etc.)


I have a lot of unknowns. I didn't know the rules and tried to go back to the usa in September 2012 after already being there for 6 months. Of course I was denied entry. I haven't tried to return since. I'm going for a visit in June for 2 1/2 weeks and hoping to go back at the end of August and stay for a 4-5 months. I really don't know if they will let me across the border so I'm already anxious about everything even though I'm doing everything they want me to. So having an address in Canada is important for me to have just not sure of everything...I'm ranting lol

If you get P4 as an email that actually has the interview date on it then yes you could use it for the interview.

Everything in the package is available online. Download, fill out, mail it in with the stuff. Make sure you read the guides in the Canada section for what you need to send back with the forms or what needs to go with you to the interview.

If you have your medical done at medisys in Montreal, I believe they still need to see a paper with your case information on it still. That might have changed tho.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStaying with Fiance while waiting for K1 to go through...

Your medical and your police certificates. P4 is the interview date not a visa.

So technically there is nothing in either package that i need. I could fly from the usa straight to Montreal without needing anything in them? I will be scheduling my appointment online and I know I need this letter but wouldn't I be printing this off my email? (sorry for all the newb questions!)
Hannah777FemaleCanada2013-04-25 10:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStaying with Fiance while waiting for K1 to go through...

No

Is there anything in P3 that I would need before I go to the interview? Or is that all available online? And I edited the last entry so it might have been missed but is P4 the actual Visa?
Hannah777FemaleCanada2013-04-25 10:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStaying with Fiance while waiting for K1 to go through...

P3 is ONLINE. Please see country specific information in the Canada forums.

P4 is mailed to the Canadian in Canada.


I realize P3 is online but they still mail the physical package. My question is, can they send it to another address outside of Canada? And is P4 the actual visa?

Here's my deal. We have already filed 129-F. While I'm waiting for it to go through, I'm trying to time it so that I can live with my fiance in the USA for 4-5 months before everything is approved. If I don't have an address for packet 3 and 4 to get mailed to in Canada, can it be sent to the us citizen?

I think you guys missed the point-what stood out for me is that they updated their script!  They are saying they are working on Oct 1!  Pria, you probably only have another month to go but fill in your timeline.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan anyone answer this question? Please and thank you :)

I might be a bit confused but if i got this right: when he visits, your K1 won't be processed and you plan on getting married anyways?  That is immigration fraud and you can't do that.  If you are approved and he has his k1 visa, you have 90 days from his entrance into the usa to get married.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDS-260 #30 Places I've lived at since 16

Thanks in advance for the help.  The question asking for the places I've lived at since I was 16 is daunting me!  I've lived in at least 15 different homes and I don't recall dates.  How the heck am I suppose to answer this question?  If I contacted the government and got them to send me my tax forms for the last 18 years, would my address be on them?  I don't know what to do!  The form asks for specific dates.  I have months to go before my 129-f interview but I'm trying to prepare in advance.  

 

Also the last 10 years of employment...On the G325 I missed one job, should I add that in on this page?  I wasn't there very long and I forgot all about it.

And for one of the jobs, i was working on and off, it was very part time but it takes up a number of years.  On the G325, i put down that it was consecutive.  I never meant to misconstrue the info, just thought it would be annoying for the adjucator to see me work there for a few months, then not, then worked, etc...

 

Feel like I screwed up on this!  Do I make it right on the DS 260, think it would make it worse adding jobs?

Sorry if this has already been posted but I can't seem to find an answer.  Question asks to list all previous visits to the US.  I've been on 3 cruises that departed out of Florida.  Does this count as a visit?  And there is only space for 3 lines, would I add a worksheet (if these cruises count otherwise I've only had one visit).  Thanks for the help.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence for petition: Chats and Phone Records

I only sent in about 5 pages worth of chats-ranging throughout the year.  They are secondary evidence.  The adjudicator wants to see real proof like airline tickets, boarding passes, passport stamps, etc.  Anyone can forge chats so in my opinion, they aren't that important.  But that's only my opinion, still waiting for my NOA2.  Also, I've never heard of anyone being asked for more evidence of 'chats'.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWe got an RFE. How long is this process? and what is the statistic of getting approved?

What kinds of Crimes are we talking about?

A previous criminal record may affect the ability of a fiance or spouse to immigrate to the US. The law has
specific guidelines in it that may exclude some foreign fiances or spouses from entry into the US, if their crimes
are of a certain type. The most common type of excludable crime is one of "moral turpitude." However, there
are several other factors to be considered, and every case is slightly different.

A criminal record's impact on immigration, in general, depends on several things:









ball.gif the type of the crime: crimes of "moral turpitude" are more serious in nature and may cause exclusion
from immigration to the US. ball.gif the age the person was when the crime was committed: in general, crimes committed before age 18
are not considered as serious, and under the age of 15 even less serious, however two moral turpitude
crimes under the age of 18 may still cause exclusion. ball.gif the length of the sentence that was imposed: a sentence of 6 months or more makes the situation
more complicated. ball.gif the amount of time since the crime was committed: over five years prior to immigration helps to
some extent. ball.gif crimes involving controlled substance violations, even marijuana, are viewed very seriously,
especially if the conviction was for drug trafficking.

Here are some links that are most definitely recommended reading:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWe got an RFE. How long is this process? and what is the statistic of getting approved?

I got an RFE for not having all pages of the divorce decree's. The top copies showed that it had been filed, and the date etc., but they wanted the judges signature's. I got approved a week after they received my reply of the RFE.  As long as you are legal to marry, and have not been in trouble with the law, don't worry.  I worried too, but turned out to not be a big thing. I prayed too, that helps. smile.png

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis it possible to visit my fiance while K1 application is pending?

^^^  True, and by that time, the I-129F petition should be approved.

 

Even if the I-129F petition isn't approved during the next two months, the odds of a Manila K-1er getting a visitor's visa approaches zero.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa concern!!!!

Definitely before you file any petition , you must have all documents including divorce documents for all previous marriages. Maybe you live in a state where you can just fill out paperwork at the courthouse. Some states require a lawyer. Either way you gotta have it done first and foremost, you must be eligible to be married.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTyping error in Court for the Divorce paper

Hello everyone,

 

I would like to ask some advice.

 

Here it is. We just discovered that the court had made a typing error for information of my fiancee in his divorce paper.

 

1.) They put New york for his birth place when he was born in Florida and;

2.) Court Assumed that he got 4 years in college and put it in the paper.

 

Are those will affect or may cause of us getting and RFE later in our filing or those were not really matter since they're just going to see a proof of finalized divorced?

 

Any advice will be highly aprreciated.

 

Help us place....
