I sent my original birth certificate to my fiance. You can always just go to any NSO business office and request another. That's what i did. For the picture, you can always go to the photo shop and get the right size this time and remind not to edit it.Goodluck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions about assembling k1 package

Hi guys! Im new to this site and we're assembling my k-1 package. I have a few questions and I hope you can help me.

1. I checked on the VJ package checklist http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide and it didn't say here that as a benificiary i need to send him my birth certificate. I already sent him what i need to send based on this checklist including signed g-325a, signed letter of intent to marry,my passport-type photo, and some of the receipts he left me like hotel receipts and remittance receipts. As i was reading forums about k1 visa, some says i need to send my birth certificate. Some says not. Now I'm confused. I told my fiance about it and he said I dont have to worry because I can just scan my birth certificate and send it to him then he will print it. Makes sense but my worry is do I have to send him the original so in case we get an RFE he can respond to it as soon as possible?

2. I had my picture taken here in Photoline in SM and asked the photographer that I need a passport-type photo for my visa. He said "Ok Ma'am! I know it." That being said, i trusted him thinking he knows what he's doing. After getting the pictures, I send the documents through LBC. When I get home I checked the photos for the US travel state specifications if its right and I just realized it should be 2x2. It's a bit smaller to the standard 2x2 sized photos I have and same size with my sister's photo in her Philippine passport. Now Im worried about it coz my fiance already received the documents I sent him. I had that pictures saved in my USB so maybe I can just forward it to him then have him print it himself. What do you think? By the way, It also says on the specifications not to retouch or otherwise enhance or soften the photo BUT the photographer removed some pimple marks in my face though its not that obvious. :D My fiance said I look like ghost in that photo. LOL. Maybe because Im not smiling in the photo. But he said everything else is fine except the size of the photo. Im really worried about it. Do you think I should get another picture taken?

I badly need opinions coz he's about to file it maybe tomorrow or Saturday for him but we can file a day later as long as we get everything settled. We're trying to avoid RFE here and we want everything to run smoothly. I will appreciate all your replies. Thanks for reading and God Bless!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 and K2 Visa Expiration
Hello, this is Charlie. Schatz and I are in a unique situation, just like everyone else’s, I am detailed oriented person. Like for us to be prepared for January/February and “not to be caught with our pants down.”

My fiancé and her son are coming to the US in early January. Their visas (K1 and K2) expire mid-February.
What we would like to know, will the 90 days that are given for marriage and AOS be truncated due to the expiration of the visas or will the 90 days supersede the expiration and allow us to use that time as needed.

Basically… arrive early January… the 90 days that are given after the POE will...

a) be shortened due to the expiration (mid-February) of the visas.
b) take over from the POE.

Much appreciated,
~Charlie

Just wanted to let everyone know that these petitions can make a difference if everyone takes a few minutes to get them out there.  I found this petition 2 days ago and they had only 225 signatures.  I started posting the link in my April filers group and posted it on my Facebook page and asked my family and friends to share the link to the petition.  In 2 days the petition has gone from 225 signatures to 375.  That's just in 2 days.  This petition got started over a month ago and had only gotten 225 signatures.  There have been 150 new signatures in the last 2 days.  So again, I encourage everyone to share this link on their personal social media and get the word out.  Something has to be done, even it change doesn't happen before my husband gets here, I'd like to think maybe I helped others down the road.

So your petition started at NBC "St. Louis, Missouri" and got transferred to "St Louis, Missouri". Your petition went nowhere! Haha.. Tier 1 and Tier 2 representatives are saying that currently they are working on Oct petitions..

Hint: I would read little more closely to your notice or expect it to be a typo. Also you can look at timelines and notice they have been processing petitions from Feb through April regularly... With that spread and statistically speaking your looking at anywhere between TODAY thru 4/5 more months..


Just fyi...NBC is at Lees Summit Missouri, not St. Louis Missouri so it is a valid transfer. Also good news because St. Louis moves fast.

I just wanted to say that I did not feel shunned at all.  I totally understand the sentiment.  I know how I would feel still being stuck waiting.  I will still be on this thread and just be more mindful of others feelings.  I'll limit my posts about NVC to the NVC thread....I know I will see you all there soon anyways!!!  Have a blessed day! good.gif

Chill, they were just asking a question! The last couple pages had people talking about their NVC updates and not one word was said until I helped someone.

 


I'm sorry if it seems insensitive for some of us to talk about NVC stuff in this thread.  I can't speak for anyone else, but it surely wasn't my intent to be insensitive.  I have come to think of many of the people in this thread as friends that have been a huge support to me going through this crazy journey.  I hate to leave and not post in this thread, when I have gotten so close to many of you, just because I have moved forward to the next step.  I'm may be on he next step but I am still going through the same journey as the rest of you.  But, I do understand how you must feel, and will move on the to October NVC thread.  I hope to see many of you there soon!  Take care and God bless....see you in the next phase!!!

Just got off the phone with NVC and she said that their do need the hard copy and only take the email version for those country that the mail service is not good. Once they review the AOS packet then you will get the IV packet, so I'm going to overnight my packet tomorrow so they can have it first thing Monday morning. :-)

 

Thanks for the info...guess I'll go ahead and mail it in tomorrow too.  I certainly don't want any delays.  Either way they are getting my packet!!! 


deltagalFemaleNigeria2013-10-11 21:43:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Yes I did do the I863EZ but the customer service rep told me to wait till show paid then send the AOS Packet along with my tax information. I did it know you can email them as well. Where did it say that at?

 

On the website with the instructions for the AOS (travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3197.html). On the page 3 where it is giving instruction for the I864EZ, item 6 says "Scan the I-864EZ to Portable Document Format (PDF) and send it as an e-mail attachment to NVCElectronic@state.gov.  Sending physical document to the NVC will delay the processing for your case." 

 

So I sent if all via email.  And like I said, I will also send in the hard copy of all the AOS paperwork when I send in the IV packet.


deltagalFemaleNigeria2013-10-11 21:34:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

So we just got to wait for the fee to change to paid, then sent off the AOS form back to NVC.
Or did you sent that as well?

 

If you did the I864EZ you can actually email them everything, if you can scan in your cover page and receipt and all the other required documents.  I went ahead and already email them everything.  I am going to just send in the updated receipt showing paid as soon as I get it.  No more delays!!!!  I'm ready to be with my hubby.


Oh, I meant to say that I am going to also send in the hard copies for the AOS when I mail the IV packet.  That way its one packet to mail and only having to pay for shipping it once....hahaha.


And then it all stays together.  Somehow I worry about things getting separated or lost. rofl.gif

I also have another update.  I just got in the mail a notice that my file has been sent to NVC.  It was sent to me from my local field office.  So to answer previous questions, it looks as though it was sent to my local office and adjudicated from there.  My local office is St. Louis, MO and it seemed to move very quickly once it got there. Just wanted to post an update since many of you were asking if I knew if it went to the local office or was approved at NBC.  Wishing everyone an approval very soon! good.gif

Alot of the approvals were getting updates before they were approved.

 

MAYBE... just MAYBE  someone was looking at your file and your approval is right around the corner.

 

 

I HOPE I HOPE I HOPE your approval comes soon !

Good Luck

 

 

Just an FYI....I has submitted a correction because they spelled my name incorrectly back in May.  I had just received an update on September 12 that they had updated the spelling of my name.....then I got my NOA2 on September 30.  I hope that is a trend....means they are looking at your file and an approval is just around the corner.  Good Luck!

Did the approval come from MSC or Overland Park? 

I haven't gotten the hard copy yet, so I don't know the answer to that.  I can tell you that the text and email just said it was from USCIS.  I also, have no idea if it went to my local office or not.  My NOA1 was MSC from Lee's Summitt, MO.  I wasn't expecting to hear anything yet and was waiting for the 6 month mark to hit before I started making calls and trying to figure out where my case was (I really wasn't wanting to have to deal with the misinformation line).  Sorry I don't have more info.  When I get the hard copy if there is more detail I will definitely share.

Congratulations, really happy for you!
 
Can I ask - has your status updated on your online case too?


I actually got a text message that my status had been update and to go to the website to check my status. So, yes,it was updated online...now just waiting for the hard copy and next steps.

CONGRATS!!!! That is fantastic news, I bet you're excited. I think I'd be dancing around the house, freaking out! Correction, I WILL be dancing around the house, soon! :)


I was crying like a baby I was so happy. It's such a great feeling. I can't wait for you all to experience it too! I also can't wait to tell him. Tomorrow is their Independence Day so he will already be celebrating, now he has even more to celebrate.

OMG....   CONGRATS !!!!!    DETAILS PLEASE !!!!!   NBC?  LOCAL OFFICE???

 

I remember talking to you on FB VISA JOURNEY !!!!

 I don't really have any details.  I was going to wait for the 6 month mark before I did any inquiries because it seemed like there really wasn't anything to do before then.  So I don't even know if it was sent to my local office or not.  Wish I could give you more details.  All I know is that there was nothing special about my case....no expidites, no Congressmen or Senators involved, and not living abroad with my hubby.  Just a plain old USC filing for my husband.  There is hope!!!!

To be very honest, I wasn't expecting to make this post for at least another month....but I just got a text message from USCIS saying "On September 30, 2013 we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I-130"....blah, blah blah...I didn't even read the rest.  dancin5hr.gif I'm still in shock.  The only bad thing....my hubby's phone is turned off or out of battery.....I can't wait to tell him.  I'm so happy right now!
