US Embassy and Consulate Discussionwhich forms i have to fill for my kids?

I'm still waiting for NOA2 but trying to prepare ahead. The US Embassy page for Colombia, my finacee's country, mentions the DS-156 form, but not the DS-230.

What is the DS-230 and how is it's purpose different than the DS-156?


the DS-230 has 2 parts, u only have to send them part 1 as far as i know. its an application for a immigrant visa, the DS-156 is a nonimmigrant visa application. seems everybody who travels with u will need it the DS-230 as well. 156 has to be filled 2 times, DS230 only once per person.. hope i am correct. i just wonder how much i will have to pay for the k1 visa then, with my 2 kids???

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionwhich forms i have to fill for my kids?
first i thought its only the DS-230 PartI, as far as i know they need from each applicant a extra form even the kids. now i read somewhere that i have to send the DS-156 as well for my kids? so do i have to send both, and how many of each? do i have to pay then 3 times the amount?? (me and my 2 kids)

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionrecieved package 3- and have a question!

YAY!!! I recieved my package 3 today :dancing: but going through it, I have a question about
Form DS-157 (Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application):

Is this the form only for male applicants older than 16?
It doesn't say anything in the Instruction sheet and I am a little confused, I didn't expect to get that form at all.
IF I have to fill it out as well...it is german on one side and in english on the other side, do I have to fill out both sides or is it up to me, to chose what language I prefer?

LOL...and I thought I was good to go... :unsure:

But yea, to all of you still waiting to get your case send to the beneficiaries country: Once it's at the NVC, things move MUCH faster...get your papers together!!! :)



nane,

if i would be u, i would fill it out, eighter the germand version or the english, what u choose. i think in germany everybody has to fill this form out. if u want to be sure, go to this webpage, they will tell u exactly what is needed.

http://www.auswander...isplay.php?f=90

its a very infromative page for all germans and they will help u as much people help here. :yes:

good luck for the interview! :thumbs:

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionwhat the hell with Paris embassy ??



I think it is a little early to panic just yet. If it was sent on the 23rd it probably took anything up to 5 days to arrive which takes you to just a couple of days ago.

If the Paris embassy is like any other then the chances are that it takes a little while for them to open the mountain of mail they receive and put it in the system to show they have received it



yes it's true it's early to panic I'm just a bit disapointed cause they didn't even ask me my case number to take a quick look I thought that wasn't realy nice. :(



the same thing happened to me when I called Dublin-they said they weren't sure if they had it-a week later my man had packet three. I would ring them again in a few days :yes:



here in switzerland is the same problem with the calling of the us embassy. it is very expensive and they charge per minute. once i called them, the person told me, they only know infos about visas, but themself are not people from the embassy themself. so, they got no idea about a specific case. so, what i have done then, i ve sent them a e mail, i guess u should find one on the us embassy site in the internet. i get always a response after about 3 days. and, they definitley can tell u, if they got it. so try to e mail them. it might be there already! who knows.... keep cool... i wish we where on this stage already... :(

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionsimple question: medical exam


[font=Comic Sans Ms]
:blush: How long is it gonna take in the hospital? What kind of exams do u have to do?
For example, blood and x-ray or bla bla bla....
who has the detail list about the medical exam? Because I am so scared of going to the hospital. :wacko:


don't worry! You aren't secretly severely ill with some dread disease that will only be uncovered at the visa examination! lol You'll be okay. My fiance' has his medical in 2 weeks and I suspect the worst part of it will be waiting around and probably having to stay there the whole day half-naked. But you know you're healthy and that you aren't inadmissable for a visa due to illness, so don't be scared about it! :thumbs:



have just done it today, after filling and signing the forms, and paying for me and my adult son each 350 $ and 120$ for my daughter, we had to do the weight, size, blood pressure and puls, then eye test. after the doc came in and examined us, that means, listen our heart and breath, opening the mouth and say A, beeing asked if we had ever serious illnes and had to fill the forms completly. that was all of it. then we had to pee in a glas, given our blood and we went to do the thorax x-ray. that was all of it. easy and simple...

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionHOW LONG DOES IT NORMALY TAKES, BETWEEN PACKAGE3 AND RECIEVING A INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT?
it has been now 1.5 weeks since the embassy recieved all the needed documents, so all they have to do ist sending me a interview date. i ve sent them a mail, to ask if they got my payment and documents and about getting a interview appointment. but havent got any reply. now am worried coz the time we sent the petition we missunderstood a question about other names used, and we put only my last one of my last marriage, not the one i used long time ago when i was married first time. so now, we thought its better to send the embassy immediatley the other divorce decree and a explanatioin what happended. i am afraid now, that it might take longer then usual to get me a interview appointment! or worse to worse, they might even send everything back to USCIS ... :crying:
please, anybody else made a mistake as well in the petition and added the missing infos at the embassy? did it took u long to get a interwiev date?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMedical Examination

So I know which doctor handles the medical examination here on behalf of the Embassy.I´ve been wondering if I should make the appointment myself knowing how long it can take to get one at an Icelandic doctor in order to make the wait for the interview shorter. Would the Embassy disapprove of that?



i even made my appointment for the medical when i havent received yet the paket3! the day i went actualy to the medical, i got the paket 3 then...it was good i knew all the doctors before and was able to call! ( thanks to this site!) so i safed a whole lot of time..

Does anybody know why the embassy in Bulgaria is not even listed in the list of the all of Embassy around the world????


Do you mean on visa journey?? Is it possible that they do not process immigration visa's.? Some smaller countries go through another country's consulate...

Or, no one has filled in a review for it.

Here are the people the have recorded that they are going through Bulgaria on a K1, this is why filling in your timeline is extremely important.

... and i was such a scary.... i was sooo worried.. and it was easyer then i ever thought!
but here my story, if u dont mind...:
the time my kids and i arrived finally at the embassy, we saw that they closed and fensed up the whole area around the embassy...! with alot of security gurads. on the entry was a long line waiting, but thanks god, i could show the security my interview letter where it was witten, dont wait on the line.. so another lady made the serucity checks, imagine, they lever allowed anybody to take any bags in! so i had to remove all my thousands of papers out of my suitcase, leave even my handbag and carry all like this! lucky my big son was with me, so i gave him all.. :P after they checked our passports and we had to walk through the x ray, we got a paper to bring to one of the counters and sit down with other peoples...we waited for about 30 min, then a lady called me to a counter, she took al my documents, like 156, 156k,medical, birth certificates, police reports, divorce decree, all original and a copie, ( got all originals back after) and the affidavit! imagine, they asked only for the form, not even for a single evidence, like letter of employer, pay stubs, tax return, letter intend to marry still....
so after i gave the lady all, signed the documents, i had to wait again.... that was making me mad, waiting in a small area, not allowed even to stand up ( security guy came always to check!!) then it was sooo hot, in top with my little daughter of 4,5.... so, after 1,5 h waiting, and a hungry stomac ( was awake since 6 and couldnt eat anything) i was finally called again to a counter at 11.30, to a real nice guy. i thought i must enter a special room, but no, all was done on the counter, i hardly understood him behind his glas, but i managed it! :blush: after asking again and again.. sorry?...
all the guy asked me was: soooo, u want to marry mr. ........and how u meet him? i sayed: online! last year in february.. he was still in iraq... he: oh, he is in the army?, and when u saw him first time? me: he came to swiss after iraq last year in september for 3 month during his vaccations, inbetween this time we went to kenya as well.. he: okey, and when did he asked u to marry him? me: oh, there there, in kenya! he: okey... and when u went to the usa? me: after his 3 month where over, i joined him for christmas and new year...he: okey....nice.. so, when u intend to go to the usa and get married? me: well, as soon i got the visa, i will give notice to the appartment owners and then i fly, and soon after we will get married!
that was it! i had not even to show evidence of relationship, nothing, zero, and i took so many emails, phone cards, bills, photos, ect... with me..
so he sayed, go to the other counter again to the lady. so i went there, she asked me if i want ot come agian to collect the visa or if they should send it! i was so confused, i asked him and her again, so, i got it? so all is fine? they yes, yes yes... lol.. so i sayed, better send it to me, its to far to collect it. she sayed, i will get it next week... YEAH! :dance:

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionK1/K2 visa in passport, but son decided to remain in switzerland

I would recommend he bring the sealed envelope that he received with the K-2...without it he might have a problem. If he doesn't have it any longer, he will need to explain he is entering on the VWP instead but *should* still be able to enter the US without incident.

If he has the sealed envelope, he should be able to still enter on the K-2 visa, even if he just plans to visit. He shouldn't really even have to explain his circumstances at the POE (if he has the sealed envelope, etc), he has the visa and should be allowed to use it. If he decides for some reason to remain, he would be allowed to do so. That's what the K-2 visa is for! Whether he goes back or not doesn't really matter (except of course if he decides to come back later..he won't be able to re-use it). If he wants to return to the US later, another type of visa can be applied for at that time.

David's daughter received a K-2 and decided to remain (the morning they were leaving! :huh: ) in England and came to the US for a visit later. She had no problems entering on the VWP, but the K-2 had expired.

Best of luck and have a beautiful wedding! (F)


thank you very much for the infos! well, i guess then, he can just enter and go back after and wont have any problems when going back to swiss. good...

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionProcessing time for removing of conditions about 1 year!
QUOTE (Kathryn41 @ Sep 10 2008, 05:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
When the I-751 is submitted, the Service Center sends back a receipt - NOA1 - that extends the validity of the green card for one year. You carry this letter with your green card and it allows you to work and to travel. If you don't get an NOA or if the processing takes longer than a year, then you bring an unexpired passport and your expired greencard/NOA to a local USCIS office. They stamp your passport with the I-551 stamp extending your PR status, generally for a year.

I sent my I-751 off in February, didn't receive an NOA, so just before my green card expired in May I went and got the passport stamp. I exxpect to have my application adjudicated between December and February. It is a waiting game.



Thanks so much for your reply! Pretty kittys you have! Got 3 of them...

Looks like according to your timeline; your package was mailed to California. I would assume anything sent to Cali would stay in Cali.



PORKNBEANS,

i am really sorry, i know how it is, dont feel bad, it happens to me allways as well... waiting in a long line, wherever, and the other one is allways faster then mine.. i might change to the faster one, and, now this is the slowest.. :(
even i am still afraid, that even our petition has been sent to CA, coz it arrived 2 DAYS! before the 15. february... everything is possible. on the other side, of course, i hope, that they are processed soon..
but, up to know, after more then a week they received the petition, the check has not been banked yet! i dont know if this is good or bad. as soon i know more, i let u know.i guess by tomorrow, even the USCIS will update their case status.

You need to be very careful and pay attention to what you are doing when fill in these documents. This is a very important if you want your SO with you and sooner as appose to later. You will probably get an RFE. :wacko:

Good luck,

i know, its too bad i never realised it by then... but i guess, if i send them now the proper application forms, they might not even stick them together, or search for the petition coz it has been anyway fowarded to CA.. so i guess, all what i can do now, is sending the proper forms with a copie of my very old divorce paper to my fiance in usa and wait what will go on...no? if he will get now a RFE, then we can send them all the proper forms immediatly. will there be then a big delay again or do they just go on with the approval??
God, i wish i would have thougth a bit more that day.... :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A AND I-129f, MADE MISTAKE BY NR OF PREVIOUS MARRIAGES

I would say they would notice if you listed all prior married names in 'other names used'? Are the children travelling with you?

yes, they will come with me. so my sun has another family name then my doughter and me.. i wonder if they recognise this....hopefully not. dont want more delay coz of this..

i realised it too late, the petition is with them... i made a mistake by filling previous marriages and just put in the last, not realising i should have put all :blush: ... and now, i dont know if they will check it. the problem is, that i had as well to put in my kids full names, and my suns full name is of course another one then my doughters... confusing? yes it is... anybody knows if they focus on such a thing? thanks alot!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhats up with TSC



I just looked at the AILA website, TSC has an updated post of Processing times... this time... there is no dates :protest:

If your receipt/NOA is from California, I'd recommend that you not worry about Texas :)

Excellent point :D

i can only say that the check has been bankec now, and when i went to see the status online, it says the petition arrived at the 16 of february, not at the 13 as the receipt of the registred mail sayd. and even if it arrived on this day, it must have been fowarded to california coz the receipt number starts with WAC. so i guess texas really still does not work on the I 129f ones.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTSC AND CSC


Does anyone know if any VJ member is being process at TSC? :blink:

I just sent my I-129F to the TSC yesterday so I will let the board know if I receive my NOA1 from TSC or CSC.

we received our NOA1, but they ve sent the petition to CA. TX received the documents on the 13.feb, then they fowarded them to CA and there they got it on the 16. feb. as TX has the same processing dates like CA, i am sure they send all petitions still to CA. but at least they are on 31. dec now....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWHAT IF ONE OF 2 DIVORCE PAPERS ARE LOST FOR 1-129f?


i never realised i had to fill all the previous marriages on the petition forms...well. have to see if i will get a RFE. but what now, if they as well together with the recent divorce paper, they want to see as well my old old divorce paper from my first marriage 20 years ago??? first, the marriage took place in africa, so i got no idea anymore what exact date i got married then :( ... ( and they want to know that later on the forms for k1 application..) second, the divorce as well took place in africa, and i can tell u, its a hopless thing to ask them about a divoce paper witch took place so long ago.. ( in fact even if it took place recently it would be impossible, they have no computers and al files aremixed up.. no alphabetic order or such thing!!) so, what can i do if they realise this and want to see the first divoce paper? ( even if it doesnt make sense, coz i couldnt get married again if i wouldnt have got a divoce......)please, any ideas?? thanks alot, i appreciate every suggestion!



What documents did you have when you got maried the second time? I'm sure you had to have proof of some kind in order to get re-married.

well, i got remarried again not in my home country, but later on the city council where i ve sent the documents that time made it official as well i my home country. so i guess the only chance to get any, ist to call them and ask what they have stored. what do u guys think, should i get this documents very quick, if possible and send them together with the new written documents to my fiance? so he can send them allready now to the serivice center? or should we wait until we get a RFE and send them then? i am afraid if we send them now, maybee they will not even be attached to our old petition... as u know, how many of thousands every day rich.... i really dont know what is best.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat if the I-129f has been filled wrong and is sent allready to TSC?

I think you will not get an RFE - most people are paranoid and thik that Immigration does too much work with each and every application; however, you should give them a corrected form when you have the interview (or if you get an RFE.) Good Luck


thank you thank you all of u! motu, u made my day! am a bit released... but i still think i might get a RFE coz i had to add my suns full name there, and of course he has another name, hes fathers, so if they are really smart, they will ask themself how come the sun has not the same name like the doughter and mother... hmmmm... hopefully they arent that smart..lol..
sorry if i confuse some, i just wanted to upload finally a photo from us two... :yes:
