K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestimeline about to start
One unique aspect of our particular case is that my fiance is from the Philippines, but is living and working in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates now.

Wish us luck! And please feel free to offer any help or advice, those of you who have more experience than I do.

We have the same case. I am currently working in another country.....My fiance's in CA and m here in K.S.A. You can get all the infos here in this website from filing of your I-129F to whatever applications you will need.

My fiance did send the I-129F in CSC and he addressed everything in the Philippines since I am not permanently based here. I will go home if everything is approved and an interview date is set for me.



Good luck to your journey.....God bless...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAre We Affected by IMBRA too?
Hi guys.....The IMBRA Law does not relate to us....but will it also affect other K visa applications? It's been a month now since my fiance sent the RFE reply. So many things come in my head right now.....I don't want to worry. Last touch was July 21..... :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFILED I-129F
I had to wait for 11 days to get my NOA1. Some people seem to get theirs in a couple days and others wait 2 weeks. I don't think you should be concerned until more than 2 weeks have passed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhy I still haven't hear from USCIS?

I am start worring about my application.....as I submitted 15th Dec 2005, since then I still haven't heard anything from them yet? It's already 73 days... What should I do?

Your timeline says you have packet 3--I thought packet 3 arrived after NOA2. It seems to me that if Montreal is requesting information, the U.S. has already sent your approved application to the embassy. I wonder why you haven't rec'd your NOA2.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat if K1 doesn't come by wedding date?
If you live on the east coast you may be able to get a K-1 visa in time for your wedding. The Vermont Service Center is super FAST!!! If you live in California--you have a really, really, long wait ahead of you.

If Canada is part of the VWP then a person can come to the U.S. for 90 days--but only as a visitor. If your fiance comes to the U.S. to get married, then she is not a visitor and you could have problems later.

If you fill in your timeline, people here will be able to advise you better because they will have more info. about your situation.

I hope everything works out for you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPORT of ENTRY

I've always flown out of Toronto....where's the point of entry for me then, Toronto??? I'm confused. Is there a thread that talks about ppl's experiences with point of entry

POE is where you enter the U.S. It looks like you visit San Diego, so if you take a direct flight from Toronto, your POE is San Diego.
pnd629FemaleUnited Kingdom2006-04-28 20:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUnsure, what is NOA2?
Sounds like you have already been approved--congratulations!
Vermont seems to be much faster than the other service centers.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCanadian marrying a US Citizen - K1?

I had a long consultation with him and he stated that people get married on the spur of the moment all the time, like folks who get married in vegas. That there is no proof i intended to marry when i "crossed to visit". He advised to play it off as if i didn't know in the moment but to actually get married while there (change of plans type of thing). Note: it will be an informal ceremony not a huge wedding. I'm really concerned on what to do :unsure: . K.


Unsure??? How could you be unsure--just follow the law.
I find it hard to believe that while illegal immigration has been in the headlines lately that someone would be considering immigrating illegally--especially since there is a fairly simple way to immigrate legally.
Your lawyer has given you bad advice.

I am a bit confused though--even if you get married, won't you still have to wait for the I-130 to be approved? And don't you have to wait for the approval in your own country?
pnd629FemaleUnited Kingdom2006-05-05 13:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F Returned
I sent a personal check--it must have been fine because they cashed it.

Many people here(at VJ) record on their timelines when their personal check was cashed. I sent my application in February and the check was cashed in March. I don't think the rules have changed since then. You must have gotten a grumpy worker!

I hope the rest of your journey is smoother.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTouched by CSC.....How long before NOA2?
Our application was "touched" today too! This was the first time and since I hadn't sent them an e-mail, I hope that means they are actually processing the application.

Those NOA2s should arrive soon!
pnd629FemaleUnited Kingdom2006-05-08 18:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 touch!
I think CSC must have moved to the next pile of applications because mine got a touch today too!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A messup. Somehow left fiance's mother maiden name off!

I would simply take another set of the G-325A's, filled out correctly with the mother's name, to the interview.

Good luck at the interview.


I agree.
It is possible(but unlikely) for someone to not know their mother's name. Perhaps whoever approved your application thought that was the reason it was left blank.

I read Sarah and Hicham's post that they were approved today. Since their dates are close to ours I checked my case status and it said my application had been approved on May 8, 2006! I could have been this happy yesterday.

California does seem to be moving now.

PS--Thanks Sarah and Hicham!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDid you get your NOA2 approval recently?? Does NVC have it yet???

We got our NOA2 on May 4 and I called NVC this morning and nothing so far...but even the flowchart here says two weeks so I'm not stressing yet.

Here's the weird thing. We got two sets of emails telling us we'd been approved or re-affirmed. I think we were so close to the deadline they double checked us before they sent us out and really it was the matter of a one day time difference. Very strange...

:star: Joey


I got 5 e-mails from USCIS the day we were approved (5/9/06). Two were delivered to my Inbox and 3 more ended up in my Junk Mail. They all seemed to say the same thing.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it an acceptable solution ?

Also as a USC I've got a son in the American school system and I really doubt school administrators would let her register over here. If she is just here temporarily on the VWP, she won't have any 'papers' she could provide to them - at the very least I think she would need the K-2 visa in her passport for them to allow her to register for school in the US.

I don't think schools can ask for immigration papers. My school never does. I have taught many students who did not have "papers" to be in the U.S. The school district I work for only requires proof of address--like a telephone or electric bill, a birth certificate and immunization records.

But I agree with the previous post--your daughter will need to enter school mid-term, when you both have your visas.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoesnt know her dad's birthday

1. She doesnt know her dad's birthday as her mother seperated from him a long time ago and the dad is deceased with no familyand mom doesnt remember his birthday, what do you think we should put? "Unknown" maybe?


If she doesn't know her father's birthdate, then she doesn't know it. I don't think writing unknown should be a problem.
