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.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting Worried
Are you sure it was sent to the correct address? I can't believe CSC would let a check sit around for that length of time. Perhaps the USC should call and CSC.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 question
Thank you!
I am very much relieved.
pnd629FemaleUnited Kingdom2006-05-25 13:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 question
On my NOA2 notice, in the box where it says "Notice Type", it reads: Valid from 5/08/2006 to 9/07/2006.
Does that mean my fiance needs to have his interview before Sept. 9th or that he needs to enter the U.S. before Sept. 9th?

By looking at other people's timelines, we expect the interview will take place(in London) sometime in July. But since the interview hasn't been scheduled yet, we can't be sure. I have also read that once the visa is issued (after the interview), it is valid for 6 months. So I am a bit confused and a little worried about the dates on the NOA2.

Our case was approved by CSC May 8, 2006. I got the letter from NVC yesterday, 5/24.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMY Case GET RECALL after my Interview APPROVED!!!

If it's IMBRA, and you have not used a marriage broker, and if the USC has no record of spousal abuse... your case should be just fine.. you just have to sit in a waiting period... :(


I agree. You may have to wait a while longer, but eventually things will get cleared up.
pnd629FemaleUnited Kingdom2006-05-17 12:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIMBRA
I think it is a good/fair law--although I don't like the problems and delays it is causing right now.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was just a waiver that could be signed--you give your permission for your fiance to see your criminal background(which for many of us would be a blank page--unless they include parking tickets)--and then you get your approval. After all, the non-USC has to submit a police report, what's the big deal?
It is only people that have something to hide that would oppose the law.

I sincerely hope approvals are NOT waiting on the success/failure of that lawsuit.
This process takes too long as it is.
pnd629FemaleUnited Kingdom2006-05-25 13:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTo call or not to call

I personally wouldn't worry too much about not getting a NOA1 yet -- you know that your cheque has cleared the bank, so they definitely have your petition there.


I agree. Since your checked has cleared, you know they have your paperwork. It took us almost 2 weeks to get NOA1 in the mail--and we mailed our stuff directly to CSC. Yours had to be forwarded from TSC, so I would expect it to take a couple days longer for the NOA1.

Have patience--you'll need a lot of it to make it through this process!

Are you sure your e-mail refers to the new petition you mailed this year? It seems like the e-mail you got is about the petition you cancelled from 2005.

I think you may want to speak to an attorney--maybe even two. One for the tax problem, and one to sort out the affect it may have on the immigration process.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFeeling weird about NO touches...
Our application was "touched" the day it was approved and that was the only time.
Just because your case has not been updated, doesn't mean they haven't started processing it.
Be patient.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow long

We recieved our interview date last week by my calling phone number of embassy in manila. How long will it take for us to recieve packet in mail. TY for you help. Bruno and Shiela


Look at other people's timelines from the same country. That should give you an estimate of how long things take in the country you're dealing with.

I checked everyone's timeline from the UK and was able to determine when we should expect Packet 3. My fiance was a bit surprised that it arrived on the exact day I had predicted 2 weeks before! I have to admit, I was pretty surprised too.
pnd629FemaleUnited Kingdom2006-06-10 12:06:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInfoPass
Before I mailed in our paperwork, I made an appointment through Infopass. The woman told me they don't accept I-129F there and she wouldn't even go over my paperwork to see if it was in order. She said she didn't want to give me incorrect information.

My Infopass appointment was in Chula Vista, CA--you have to show your appointment letter and identification to enter. I was not allowed to enter the building until 5 minutes before my appointment time. They do NOT allow walk-ins there. Perhaps Vermont is different.

I think it would be a waste of your time to make an appointment.
Once you get NOA1, you can register on the USCIS website and check the status of your petition at anytime.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresphone number on I-129F
My fiance only has a cell phone, so that is the number I wrote.
I don't think it really matters--as long as the person can be reached.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew around here and finding everything a little daunting...
Welcome to VJ!
Most people here will tell you not to get married while you are visiting the U.S. on the VWP--it could be viewed as fraudulent. When you enter the U.S. on VWP, your stated purpose is to visit--not to get married. It could cause you problems later. From what I have read in other posts here, the fiance visa process is faster than getting married and petitioning for a spouse to enter the U.S.--but I don't know for sure.

As for using a lawyer--we didn't. This site can answer nearly every question about the process. If your case is fairly simple, you can file all the paperwork without the help of a lawyer.

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould Fiance Come Visit
If he is able to visit, I think he should.
We just got packet 3, so we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel in this process. But I will be on a plane 2 days after the school year ends here(I teach at a year round school--we don't get out until July 21!)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview - who goes?
Some people have posted here that the USC is not allowed to attend the interview in some countries.

Have you asked why he scheduled the business trip? Maybe it was a great opportunity or a step toward a future career goal?

I wouldn't re-schedule the interview though--why wait any longer than you have to?
pnd629FemaleUnited Kingdom2006-06-12 14:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 to NVC
I never called NVC.

I received a letter from NVC about 2 weeks after our case was approved. The letter said that the case would be forwarded to the embassy within the week. Packet 3 was received about 2 weeks after the letter. Looking at other people's timelines helped me estimate when things should arrive.

I know it is hard to wait, but calling is not going to make your case move any faster. If you don't hear anything from NVC after 2 weeks have passed, then you should probably call.
