Your first step is to read the guides here on VJ
http://www.visajourn...amp;page=guides

then read through the threads in some of the forums. Inform yourself as much as possible...then ask questions. Good luck!

hi!
I just want to ask this question not for me but for my cousin. Her fiance send their papers to VSC last October 2009. And they are just waiting for the NOA2. Does anyone knows here that my cousin's paper will be approve soon eventhough she's still 17? but she will be turning 18 next year...any advice??
thank you...



At the time the petition is FILED...last October...BOTH parties MUST be legally able to marry in the jurisdiction where they intend to marry. In MOST places that means she would need to be age 18 or have her parents permission. The petition filing would need to include any documentation (such as parental permission) in order to be approved. They may send an RFE requesting proff they are BOTH legally able to marry.

They WILL NOT approve a petition on the assumption that "she will be old enough by then..." You MUST be able to marry when the petition is filed.

If it is rejected, they lose their $455 and can start over when she is 18

Doesn't Filipino law require parental approval at that age?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNewbie for K1
Someone told me to come to JV when I was thinking about how I was going to do Claudeth's visa. Then someone here recommended that I read the guides. I have seen a lot of grumbling about the guides lately but they really helped us every step of the way from the K-1 to adjustment of status to lifting conditions. Thus, I recommend you read the guides (see the link at the top of the page)

If thinkgs get confusing post questions. You will find a ton of people here who have good advise for you.

Good luck good.gif

I did most of the calls. It actually would cost Claudeth money to call. I think most embassies are used to calls so probably don't care who calls.

QUOTE (Seven @ Dec 22 2009, 05:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
So did you leave it blank in the form and write it in the supplementary page? or did you write in the form whatever could fit and then write the complete thing in the supplementary page?

Thanks



I just referred to the supplemental page as 'see supplemental for question 7' or something to that affect. I would then label the top of the page with the reference. It seemed to work, Claudeth's petition was approved by USC in about 20 days or so.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWORRIED
I don't think it is a big deal. The important thing is to show you have met in person and have an ongoing relationship and that he can provide adequate support for you. He should have phone bills, emails, IMs, things like that to show an ongoing relationship. Claudeth took 2 3" 3-ring binders to the interview just packed full of pictures and other documentation. If you are truly worried about the difference in the dates just have him send a supplemental to you for the interview stating the correct dates. He should also send you a copy of the full packet he sent to the USCIS service center. You need to know about his, where he lives, mother and father, brothers and sisters, age, birth date, has he been married, etc.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresvisa will be denied?

Hi! I guess you will be fine if you have bunches of proof of your bonafide relationship.


:thumbs: This is very, very important. You should bring letters, emails, chat logs and whatever else you can use to show an ongoing, serious relationship. I was depositing money into an account I set up for Claudeth so she could use the ATM card I gave her. I also gave her an engagement ring and we had an engagement party with her family.

The only one that is going to tell you if you get the visa is the interviewing consulate officer. I suggest you try not to speculate too much and direct your energies more towards the relationship.

Good luck :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed help in picking a firm to help prepare K1 VISA

you do not need a lawyer. this website walkes you through everything you need to do? and if you need specific help just ask and someone will help you. i was thinking about hiring a lawyer but i after finding this site i did it myself.


I did everything based on the guides here on VJ. If I got stuck I asked questions. We had absolutely no problems until dumb ol' me used an old form to lift conditions but it still only took 5 months to get the 10-year card and I owe it all to VJ, the membership and the VJ guides. You can also get some additional hints by looking at the example forms.

Unless you have a complicated case, do it yourself and save some bucks for your wedding reception.

Good luck :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAnother medical exam?
she should have been given a copy of the DS3025 (I think that is the number) at the hospital when she did the physical for the visa. We showed that to the civil surgeon when we were doing Claudeth's AOS so didn't have to go through the expense of a full physical again.

The one for Guayaquil specifically states that the packet will be mailed to beneficiary's address listed on the petition
