US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionTAX FORMS AT EMBASSY INTERVIEW
All i know is if you requested they can fax it to you that is the easiest way.






Thank you so much, guys!

Another question--does it cost anything to expedite these forms?

Also--how long would it take to get them if I expedited the process? I'm asking because I need to DHL these forms to my fiance two weeks from now.


Also, the local IRS office i looked up online said that it can send out tax transcripts but only in hardship cases. It said: (Verifiable hardship cases; hurricane damage, medical emergencies, etc)

Would my situation, if explained to them, fall under the hardship criteria? :-s

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionTAX FORMS AT EMBASSY INTERVIEW
Hello i had my interview last aug7, it was fine the CO was very nice. They only get my fiance W-2 tax form and certificate of employment thats all...its ok if its scanned or fax cos she will be needing that and they are gonna ask for that documents...Goodluck and tell to your fiance dont be scared and dont feel nervous as long as she have all the documents needed and you have genuine relationship...GOD BLESS

clairejamie





I am very worried. My fiance is having her embassy interview this Sept. 6 and, for the life of me, I cannot find my tax returns!!! I had them filed with my family's and they've suddenly disappeared! It was said that my fiance is to bring these tax forms to the embassy on her interview along with several other forms on the information list she received from the Manila embassy.

Is it absolutely necessary for her to have my tax forms? If so--is there anything I can do if I can't find them? :/

I'm very worried and have so little time to get these papers to her!

If someone could provide some info then PLEASE do so! :(

Thank you!

PhilippinesMy Fiance's Interview
Hello i had my interview last aug7 and it turn out good. About your question they have two sets of interview first is the screening which is the interviewer is filipino and final interview with american CO. As my experienced they get only my fiance w-2 tax and employment certificate. You dont have to sent her your bank statement because your income will showed already on the W-2 affidavit of support plus your evidence of genuine relationship ( pictures,emails,chatlogs,reciept of engagement ring, hotel reciept, letter of intent, travel itenerary when you visit her) thats all.Regarding interview it is really very easy the CO only asked when did you meet?Did you see him in person?Where is his last visit? What is his job? Is he have kids?Divorced? Are you married before?You have kids? Thats it...You dont have to feel nervous because if your CO see you nervous she will gonna ask you more question....just relax and think you only applying for job. Goodluck to you and for sure you will make it....

Hi try www.vayama.com they have cheapest tickets. I flew with northwest airlines.

Goodluck



Thank you for that website!

Let me ask you something, though--since I'm in America and purchasing HER one-way ticket for her to fly here, will there be any special requirements?

Someone on this forum a few weeks ago told me that if the American purchases his fiance's ticket online then that fiance flying from Philippines to America is required to show the credit card used to purchase the ticket at the airports. Is this true or not for this particular website you referred me to?

If that's true, I can't do it. :/

Please let me know.

Thank you.



No special requirements...my husband buy me a ticket online and he send the confirmation to my email...i dont experienced any problems with e-ticket.

Its not true to show any credit card...

She must bring the etenirary to check in if she cant print the boarding pass

Goodluck



Which airline did you go through, if you don't mind my asking? I heard that Northwest doesn't request credit card.



Hi i flew with northwest airlines...

Goodluck

Claire



Thanks! I'll try Northwest. smile.gif They never let me down when *I* flew to my fiance's country so I'm sure she will be in good hands flying to my country. smile.gif



Goodluck but remember she is paying on the airport departure tax 36$ (she can pay in peso also) if i am not mistaken and terminal fee 750. Because the travel tax is not included on the ticket...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSix months of waiting and I get an RFE?

Well, it seems as though someone does have our petition. We have sat waiting now for over 6 months. Today in the mail I get an RFE that was dated April 26th. Seems as though they want some more evidence of meeting. I sent over 20 photos of us together, hotel receipts, passport entry and exit stamps, copy of airline purchase order and I guess this wasn't enough.

Not sure what else I can dig up except maybe credit card bills that show purchases made in the Philippines. I'm pretty disgusted right now.

That's to bad. As you know we too have been waiting for over 6 months. I hope everything is ok with our paperwork.We will see.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCalled the USCIS and asked.......

From what you wrote it sounds like they sent another NOA1 if it is describing how they will process your case. It does not say anything about approval, only pending still.


Yeah, it is a generic message basically saying "we sent you a letter before but you did not get it, so we are sending you another one. Hence the "Duplicate notice sent"

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCalled the USCIS and asked.......
How come I recieved a letter from NVC telling me that I was approved but the website has "case still pending" and I have not received a NOA2 from them. She told me to hold on, after about 30 secs she told me that I was approved may 7 and that there must have been a problem with the system. She said that she will have another one sent out and it should arrive within two weeks. I checked the website after I got off the phone with her and it was updated with this message: Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Duplicate notice sent.

On May 24, 2007, a duplicate notice on this case was mailed describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) is still pending, you will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. If this case is still pending, we process each kind of case in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case is at our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below for current processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register

What did I learn from this? Customer service people have more power then they lead you to believe. And, if they don't want to take the extra step to help you, they won't.

I got a letter in the mail today from the State Department Visa Center saying that they have received an approved I129f petition file on behalf of my fiance. It's been a long time coming... :dance: :dance:


:dance: Congratulations!!! Wow it makes you wonder what happened to the cases that just lay around for 6 or 7 months? When they change that date on the web site that says they're now processing cases from blah blah blah date, that's some catalyst that makes them clean the cobwebs off the old cases?

At any rate, I hope the rest of your process goes smoothly and QUICKLY! :thumbs:

I just called USCIS and they told me that I was approved on May 7 but the system was having problems and did not send out a notice. The crazy part is, I called customer service 3 times before I received the notice and they all told me my case was still pending.
I'm not sure if you guys know that Lockheed Martin won the customer service contract about 8 months ago. I know this because my coworkers wife just got a job working for them here in Albuquerque. So who knows who is screwing up around there.
