K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSSDI only...

I would think it's very much a good idea to find yourselves a co-sponsor.


Oh thank you. His SSDI is 23k and he lives alone so there are only 2 household members, me & him.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSSDI only...
Hello everyone! My fiance is in SSDI alone. We are planning to file the perition this coming January 2014. He owned a house, a car and a 1 acre land (lot). Are we good enough or my fiance still needs a co-sponsor?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOrganizing photos before submission

I did all of ours on Microsoft Powerpoint. Titled each page with the vist and date e.g G's visit to Maryland MD on February 2012, and copy pasted 3-4 pictures of us on that trip with a smal description of where and who is in each picture underneath it.
Didn't print it on photograph quality paper, just high quality on normal A4 paper.
 
 



That's a great idea too. Noted. Thanks for sharing.

you're welcome.. at first i wanted him to print our picture in a special paper (like 4 pictures in one page) and type in the names, date and place. but he's too lazy to do itdry.png  but i don't want to argue with him so i told him to do whatever he wantssleep.png i'm glad what he did was good.gif or else....lol



Actually I was planning to make a small scrapbook of our pictures, you know women are :). But I am not sure if it is ok for the USCIS or maybe they prefer a simplier one. So putting in a ziplock would be more than ok I guess or some screenshots like jbarth200 did.

I sent mine in today, not sure how everyone else did it but for mine I used a lot of FB photos that I took a screen shot of. It shows my fiances name and my name as both being on there as well as the date.


Nice idea too. Thanks. So you are 1 or 2 months ahead of us. Hopefully we can file ours mid of January. Good luck to you then.

what my fiance did was just put all our pictures in a ziplock and at the back of each picture, he wrote the names of the people who were in the pic with the date and place it was taken. i hope it helps.
 



Oh ok! Thank you for the prompt reply. Yeah maybe it's better to make it simple. There's no need for me to organize then. I'll advise Dennis (my fiance) to do the same like your fiance did.
Thank you so much and God bless us all on our journey.

Hello how are you my name is Antonio and I am just beginning this process. My fiancée is in Ethiopia and we just finishing filling out the forms . I have 3 questions to ask if you don't mind. My fiancée sent me the 325 A form and the Intent to marry form but I heard someone say that her signature cannot be photo copied she signed it with a pen but made a copy and emailed it back to me will that be ok? Also how long does the initial process take to find out if your application is excepted? Thanks for taking the time to read this. Take care and congrats.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsQuestion for November Filers - Vermont Center
Thank you! Anyone else heard something?
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-03-08 09:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsQuestion for November Filers - Vermont Center
Hello VJ community - more precisely K1 filers from November going through the Vermont Service Center!

Quick question for all of you: Did anyone receive a NO2 yet or RFEs? Let me know! My fiance and I filed in late November, and, yes I know it hasn't been 5 months yet, but we haven't had any updates on our file since December 1st when it was last touched...

Thank you for sharing, y'all are a big help!
:thumbs:
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-03-08 09:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat about our NOA2?
Well, well, nothing beats a little whining in the morning...

REALLY thought we were going to get an answer this week, but... I guess not!

Congratulations on every November fillers that DID get an answer! You lucky basta***! :jest:

Well, pray for us, PLEASE let this be our week!
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-03-13 08:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWake up VSC!
So... Please enlight me: People -well some people- that sent their petition after we did, received their NOA2 already... I know it's only tuesday, but WTH???

When during the day does the service center send the notifying e-mail? Maybe I'll stop looking at my e-mails 5 times a day...

C'mon now, this has GOT to be approved this week, or I don't know what I'm going to do! :angry:
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-03-16 14:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsExtremely depressed
Well,
Am extremely depressed because no answer yet. And December fillers are getting their approval. I don't know what to think. I know that VSC averages 5 months, but I figured we would hear something since people that filled after us are getting news.
Let's just say that the morale of the troops is very low. I don't know if we should call them, or if that would actually make any difference.
Congratualtions on everyone that is getting an answer now. I just thought we were going to have a summer wedding, but turns out I should forget about it.
Man this su***!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2009 filers
AandB: thanks so much for the link... I'm a little freaked now though... Embossed, is that a seal that has texture sort of? (S'cuse my French) Can a notary do that? My translator is a retired one, so forget about seals with him!

And for everyone else: We got our hard copy of the NOA2 and it says it expires on July 19th. What does this mean? Does it mean that if I don't get my interview before that I'm screwed? There's a 4-6 months wait at the ambassy! I can't control that!!!

Ok, a little freaked now... :wacko:
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-03-25 17:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNovember 2009 filers

you mean u got ur NOA2 on march 19 ;) and gratz

what's your question all about? I don't really go read other threads lol. Just pop up on the forum to post here ;)



Well, here it is! Thanks for your help! It would really mean a lot if I could get an answer on these!

I can't seem to get a clear and definite answer on these two, please enlight me!
A)
First, I am getting my birth certificate and my criminal background check translated by a retired translator. He signed, for both documents, a paper that state :" I, ___________________________, certify that this document is a translation from French to English, and that I have the skills required to do this translation. Signed on ______________ in Trois-Rivières, Qc, Canada". AND, I'm getting those two documents certified by a notary.Will this be ok with the consulate?

B)
Second, on a question in one of the forms to fill in for the P3 (sorry I have neither the form nor the question close by) they ask for the dates of any previous trips to the U.S. About 6 years ago, I went to Michigan twice for a short time in the span of 6 months. I drove there once and flew the other time and didn't have a passport since it was not required for Canadians at the time. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea of the exact dates I went there, and have ABSOLUTELY no proof or receipts. I can say it was around September-October the first time, and late December early January the second time. What do you suggest I write down? An attachment explaining my situation?

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to answer! It would be a GREAT help if someone did!

Good Morning all Novemberians :energy:

Congratulations on everyone that received their NOA2! We got ours on November 19th, and have been on a high since! Please check out the K1 forum, I posted a question on there, and nobody has answered it yet! It's called "Question on P3". Thanks for doing so!

By the way, has anyone received their P3 yet, and if so, how did it go? Filling it and sending it back I mean?

Well, good luck and thank you for answering the post mentionned above!

Cheers!

I checked our case status online and saw that on Feb 1 they had approved our petition. Very relived and extremely thankful to all the wonderful people on here who have helped us along the way. Hopefully rest of the process goes to plan.

To all the people waiting, stay positive and it will all work out. We were sitting here obsessing about timelines and processing limits and then it comes out of nowhere when I decide to check our status. I am sure more and more August filers will be approved in the coming months!

As far as I know we might go over 7 months just because of the slow process of csc :( I called them on February 11th and asked for service request and a very nice gentelman said wait till end of February and u should get respond from us if not then call us back and file for service request :( this is frustrating. I can't wait no more :'(
