K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresG-325A File Number?
another question... does the G-325A need to be signed by my Tanzanian husband? Can he fax his copy? He tried sending me paperwork via DHL but it has been 2 1/2 months and it still has not arrived. I am expecting so we can't afford to wait any longer than necessary... Any advice?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTanzanian Marriage
Hamjambo brothers and sisters,

I recently got a "rushed" marriage certificate and am worried about wether or not it is filed properly. Does anyone know how they verify Tanzanian marriages? I am also 3 months pregnant so would like to expedite the visa process as much as possible (wish me luck!). I realize K-1 visas are slightly quicker... does anyone have any recommendations? Asante.

Tutaonana,
Mama Mdoe

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F documents?
Hi,

I am applying for a K-3 visa and it is very difficult to get additional copies of our marriage certificate with original signatures. Since I am submitting an original copy with my I-130, do I need another original for the I-129F?

Thanks!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 Transfer Notice?
Hello Everyone,

I noticed Visa Journey recently updated the I-129 guide advising us to include an I-130 transfer notice (regarding the Chicago lockbox to the local Service Center). I did not receive a notice and am not sure if this is something I need to include. I just received my first NOA (Yay!) and need to mail the I-129 asap.

Your help is very much appreciated!

Wishing you all the best on your journey,
Mama Mdoe

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support
I am a bit confused too... the packet 3 my husband received doesn't include anything about the evidence of support. It also has a DS-230 form for immigrants and we are applying for a k-3... I'm getting nervous.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNo Evidence of Support for K3? Help!
Hello hello,

My husband received his packet 3 and it does not include any information about evidence of support docs. He called the embassy and was told he does not need it. His interview is Tuesday and I'm not sure what to do... Should I send him both the I-134 and I-864 just in case?

Thanks all!

Hi Rob,

In addition to what was just mentioned, it is my understanding that your income and assets can be included in the I-864. She can include your income under household income and then file an I-864A (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864A.pdf), contract between sponsor and household member.

Hope that helps!

Not correct, foreign person can only include income IF they are already in the USA and working in the USA, they cannot use I-864A on foreign income.

Example, a person enters the USA on a K-3, and files for EAD and get's a full time job, they can then use that income, and provide an I-864A as a member of the USC Spouse/Sponsor's household.


An exception would be when the foreign income would continue from the same source after US arrival. This doesn't work for K visas.



I see... thank you for clarifying. VJers like you have made everything so much easier content.gif

Hello everyone,

Congrats on the recent approvals!

My husband's P3 did not include anything regarding evidence of support. When he asked the embassy they said he did not need that yet... his interview is on Tuesday. Has anyone heard of this before? huh.gif

Thank you

Welcome Jennie!

(My name is Jennie too tongue.gif )

Don't be disheartened if your case hasn't been touched in awhile... my last touch was 3/06 and the paperwork is already in Tanzania. Update your profile to include the country you are petitioning from. Then, click on the 'portals' tab at the top of the page and it will take you to the Moroccan forum.

God bless.

They don't apply to K3 because procedure at NVC is different for CR1/IR1.Once approved I-129F doesn't stay at NVC longer than couple of days and then it is forwarded to embassy.I-130 stays at NVC longer than that.Read James shortcuts carefully and you'll see that there cannot be shortcuts for I-129F.



Thanks, I guess I got a little lazy wink.gif

Congratulations to all those who have been approved!!!

This gives the rest of us hope... Our baby's due in July so we're extremely anxious and counting the days ClockWatch2.gif

Does anyone know why James' shortcuts don't apply to K-3ers? Is there a modified version?

Thank you all for the kinds words and support! I am on to the next process at NVC, but even if I had my husband's visa in my hand it just would not be really as nice unless everyone else was also there. This is painful for everyone and it's hard to move forward with one's life until the families are together. I wish us all to move through this process more quickly. Something told me to check my email on the way to work (at a stoplight) and when i saw the email i immediately called my husband. The news lifted us both up and for the first time in a long time I felt like I had a good day. star_smile.gif star_smile.gif


Asalaamu Alaykum (May peace be upon you) Aisha,

Congratulations sister!!! I am very happy for you and your husband.

I was wondering about your attempts to expedite the visa... Do you know of anything that made your visa move more quickly (your timeline seems like your requests were denied)?

Best of luck on the rest of your journey,
Mama Mdoe

Hi Everyone!

I have been following the thread but this is my first post. I have some wonderful news: USCIS received my I-129F and sent out the NOA1 the very next day kicking.gif

My timeline:
I sent our I-130 01/24 and received the NOA1 with notice date 02/14 (best valentine's gift ever!)
I sent our I-129F 02/20 and just received the NOA1 with notice date 02/22!!!

My husband is in Tanzania. I found out a few weeks after I left TZ that I am pregnant. 4 months later, I thought he would miss the entire pregnancy and who knows how much else. But maybe there is some hope...

One love,
Mama Mdoe
