K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures129F. I can't get the links to work

Dang. I tried Chrome too and it did the same thing.  Perhaps it's because I'm using a Mac? And Explorer can't be used on a Mac. 

This is frustrating.  But if it is in fact the right one, I guess I'm ok to go ahead and use it? 

Here is the link to the one I'm using.  It's obviously not from the link that I can't get to work in the first post of this thread, but if this is an outdated one or not right, please just let me know.   Thanks for all the responses and help! I really appreciate it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures129F. I can't get the links to work

I'm just getting started and already can't get the most basic thing to work.  Hope it isn't a sign of things to come!  But I can't get the link to work from the page:

http://www.uscis.gov/i-129f

 

It just gives me a bunch of crazy symbols.  Can anyone help me find the right form?  I have one that is a pdf that appears to be the right one, but I want to make sure it's correct, as it isn't exactly the same as the example forms that I find here.  This one says it expires 6/30/2016 and is OMB no. 1615-0001.  If that helps. 

 

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding proof of on-going relationship
Oh yes. We do have several pictures of is together. I'll be sure to label them as you described. Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding proof of on-going relationship
Thanks. I won't worry about the notorized letters then. I am telling myself that we have enough information to prove that we met. I have my passport stamps, I have receipts from the hotels that we stayed at, I have the receipts from the plane tickets that we bought, I have the itineraries from our plane trips, I have some receipts from ATM withdrawals while in the Philippines, and I have the boarding passes of me when I went home from Manila.

The one thing I don't have that makes me a little nervous is my boarding passes from when I flew to the Philippines. Will having just the return flight and flights while we were there be enough?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding proof of on-going relationship

At this stage they do not need proof of ongoing relationship, what they do need is proof that you have met in person in the 2 years prior to filing the petition. This is done using Primary Evidence (passport stamps and boarding passes of plane trips are the best things to use as primary evidence). You can supplement this with Secondary Evidence (photos of the two of you together, for example). Some samples of your Viber, Facebook, and Skype conversations can be used at the Embassy Interview stage as proof that you are maintaining a serious relationship.

 

That makes sense.  Thanks!

 

I was reading through some threads and saw one that mentioned getting notorized letters from people verifying that we did in fact meet.  I have the passport and plane tickets, along with hotels and a few receipts from my trip over there, so would it be wise to get the notorized letters too?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding proof of on-going relationship
Ok. I wasn't clear on that I guess. But can you clarify a little more? If I submit the information about our ongoing relationship now, will I need to re-submit it again later on? Or will it be there already for when they do want it? It sounds like it's best to send it now, even though they don't ask for it.

And thanks for the example of what they want with how we met. But I'm still not clear on if it needs to be on it's own separate page, or of it should be on the same page that the other information that wouldn't fit in the form is on?

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding proof of on-going relationship

Oh, and one other question.  On the I-129F Supplement page I needed to have a few things on it.  There wasn't room for my fiancee's address, so I had to include that twice, and then I have 34 a. regarding how we met.  My question is if I should put all of the supplemental answers for this form on one page or should I put the part of how we met in person on a separate page by itself?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding proof of on-going relationship

Hi everyone.  I'll start out by saying again how great this forum is.  I have tried to call the help-line and as I'm sure many of you know, it's not much help at all!  Almost impossible to even talk to a person. 

 

I have a question as I work on the I-129F and showing proof of the ongoing relationship.  We have communicated daily mostly via Viber (an app that allows chat and calls), Facebook, and Skype.  My question is, what is the best way to show proof of that?  After exporting the conversations and call history from Facebook, Viber and Skype, and editing them to be a smaller print and in two columns, I still have nearly 500 pages of conversations.  Should I print that and send it all?  I'm thinking that might be a detriment since I know we want to make it as convenient as possible for the people that approve things, but does anyone have any insight as to how I would want to handle this? 

 

Also, if we really are only able to communicate online and through calls and video, are there other things I might be missing to show that we have an ongoing relationship?  I could show the few conversations I've had with her siblings, and receipts from gifts I've sent her if those would help. 

 

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAbout to send in the I-129F. Can some of you look it over?

I have been very grateful for the insight and help on my questions so far.  This site is awesome!

 

I'm about to send in my I-129F form and just want to run it by some of you to see if there is anything I should do differently.  Also, I have some questions that I'm sure are silly, but I just can't help but question myself. 

1.  For the address to send it to, I have seen different locations mentioned here, but the address I have found to send it to is:

USCIS
Attn: I-129F
2501 South State Highway 121 Business
Suite 400
Lewisville, TX 75067



 

Is this the right one for Express mail with the US Postal Service?

 

2. With all of my documents and forms that I will send in (listed below), is it ok to have each section paper-clipped together?  Should I have dividers with labels for each section?  I know I read that some people pre-hole punch everything, but I'm nervous to do that, for fear of doing it wrong.  I guess I just need to know how the simplest and best way to send it all in is :)

 

Here is the list of things I'm sending:

I begin with my cover letter that follows the sample cover letter from VJ.

 

Contents include:

  • Payment in the amount of $340
  • Form G-1145
  • USCIS Form I-129F
  • I-129F Supplement: Part 2,
    • Question 3.b. Street Number and Name.
    • Question 29. a. Street Number and Name
    • Question 34.a. explanation of meeting in person
  • G-325A and passport style photo (Petitioner)
  • G-325A and passport style photo (Beneficiary)
  • Copy of US Passport all pages, with stamps for visit to the Philippines (Petitioner)
  • Copy of US Birth Certificate (Petitioner)
  • Letters certifying Intent to marry (Petitioner and Beneficiary)
  • Proof of having met in person in the past two years (in addition to passport stamps above)
    • Flight itineraries to and from the Philippines
    • Flight receipt and itinerary to and from the Philippines
    • Copy of Boarding passes from Philippines to Salt Lake City, Utah
    • Copy of receipts for flights from Angeles City to Kalibo and Kalibo to Manila
    • Copies of Boarding pass from Kalibo to Manila, ATM receipts in Boracay and the Obama Grill in Boracay, and snorkeling in Boracay
    • Copy of receipt and reservation for lodging at the Spiderhouse Resort in Boracay, Philippines
    • Copy of receipt Marriot Hotel in Manila
    • 16 Photos of us together in the Philippines

Thanks again ahead of time for everyone's help!

PhilippinesPapers need to filled up and send to the consulate before inerview

Please look in at this link to the K1 preparation packet from the US Embassy Manila for what you need to bring. You can also look under Embassy reviews to see what experiences other have had at their interview and questions they were asked. Make sure your Petitioner send you a signed I-134, Affadavit of Support with all supporting docmentation, ax returns/transcripts, leter from employer, letter from bank, W2's, most recent paycheck stubs, etc. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRegarding the Medical - Need help and advice

Glad to hear it is not cancer. My mother :crying: went through that and I understand exactly how you feel :( . It is traumatizing :o . Yes!! Thank God. God Bless You.

No this will not cause you to fail your Medical.. Medical Exam at St. Luke's checks give you a psychical exam and vaccinations for protection against a disease that has the potential to cause an outbreak, protect against a disease that has been eliminated or is in the process of being eliminated in the United States and age-appropriate* for the immigrant applicant.

See SLEC website:
http://www.slec.ph/u...#required-exams

Did you receive your MNL# yet?


Thanks you so much for this info, very much appreciated! Nop i haven't got any MNL# yet
God Bless and All the Best for us :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRegarding the Medical - Need help and advice
On May 2011 i have my OPC Ultrasound on the right breast

the result was:

There are numerous multi sized well cercumscribed anechoic parenchymal cysts some presenting as aggregates, measuring 1.25 cms diameter at the
upper outer quadrant.

Now the question is would this be a conflict or would this be a reason for denial on my visa during the medical examination? we just had our NOA2 today and this thing worries me too much. On the same month 2011 of May i had biopsy on the same breast which result was no evidence of malignancy in the tissue examined. Which means No breast cancer thanks God! I never would want another surgery here in the Philippines because i think i am still traumatized by having cutted when you were wide awake, it grossed the #### out of me. My fiance suggested i would have it check again when i get in the USA. To all my fellow VJer's Please please i need all your Advices or opinions whatsoever regarding on this.

Thanks a bunch in advance
Ps. sorry for grammatical errors hehe

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan a Benefiary Apply for k1 visa Interview

I don't think so. My fiancee was from the Philippines and we scheculed the Interview, she did the medical and then paid for her VISA fee before going tot he actual interview. I was with her at the interview so I know what I am talking about. Provide proof I am wrong or else don't comment any further. What I am saying is from experience because of course, I am the one who sent her the money for medical, VISA fees, etc.... They also don't take her passport until she goes to the medical. So she can schedule the interview, she will get an e-mail from the Embassy confirming her interview and it will include what the VISA fee, she can then pay the VISA fee and then go do her medical. At the point of the medical that is when her passprt is taken.


Sorry just need to clarify " your Fiancee or Ex fiancee or ex wife" ? bcoz based on your timeline you just filed your petition last dec 2011 and you dont have your NOA2 yet...Im assuming this must be your 2nd? ^_^ Y

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan a Benefiary Apply for k1 visa Interview

You can schedule it yourself and you don't have to pay the VISA fee first in order to schedule. Just have your MNL number and answer all of the required information about you and your petitioner. Now you will have to get your medical done at Saint Lukes at least one week before the the interview and will have to pay the VISA fee also before the interview and bring proof of payment with you. Good luck.
