K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1- visa - Are photos realy needed
We only included about six pictures when I filed the petition but Claudeth took two three-ring binders full of photos to the interview and the officer looked at many of them.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressimple
I added a supplemental explaining how we met online and then met in person when I went to visit my friend.

I went with the K-1 because, at the time, it was running five or six months faster. From start to finish we got the K-1 visa in a little over 3 months

Hi Everyone,
i am new to this process and i am embarking on a wonderful adventure to bring my sweetie from Mexico into my heart(which resides in the US) smile.gif but i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get a spanish version of the I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) form. Ive been looking and i found somewhere that i can download it but it cost, i was wondering if anyone has it that can to send it to me. it doesnt have to perfect, i will be turning in the english version i just want it in spanish to go over it with my lady.


The I-129F is prepared by the USC (not the alien). All forms submitted to the USCIS MUST be in English (or accompanied by an English translation). If there was an I-129F in Spanish, it would require a translation. So instead of having a form an requiring it be translated, I guess there is simply no such form.


I think he is trying to find the form in Spanish so it will be easier for his fiancee to understand

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures1-129f document translation
As far as translations go and to play it safe, Claudeth took her German police clearance to the German Embassy in Manila and they referred her to a professional shop that was acceptable by the US embassy. They have an English version of the clearance and then fill in what was on her original German clearance.

The I-129 doesn't require this. I suggest you read the guides here on VJ. Good Luck good.gif

I just finish my counseling and cfo this morning!

I arrived at 7am. I'm in no.4.... they started calling our name by 7:30... photocopy your passport and visa if any to avoid delay....

They gave me 2 sets of forms (2pages each.. back to back) Be sure you memorize or have a copy of tel.no, address, etc of your fiance(e)...

Important tip: once you finish your first form give it to the employee... (they will tell you which form will be the first to fill up) It became very helpful to me.... coz, after group counseling, they will call all the attender one by one... according to the time you pass the FIRST FORM!

i'm in no.2.... so lucky coz, only four of us got finish before lunch break! the rest will wait after one hour!!!!

I had my certificate and CFO sticker before lunch break! thank God....

go to St. Mary like Edward_Cherry said... you will be okay and it was very helpful.. you will learn a lot.... good.gif

God bless


Great info, thanks for sharing good.gif

Her: OK
You: I will file the I-129f tomorrow, but please email me the information for the G-325 and your name to put on the fiancee letter.
Her: OK

You have now met the minimum qualifications for petitioning a fiancee visa. Your petition will be approved (all else equal) and then you will have to demonstrate to the consulate "proof of ongoing relationship" which the above will NOT qualify for.

According to the embassy website for the philippines, a K-1 visa is a nonimmigration visa.

It's a nonimmigrant visa everywhere. It's just that the most consulates treat it as immigrant (sections that deal with it, windows you go to, etc.).



A comment was made that embassies were treating them differently, I think they have always been treated as nonimmigration visas

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChanging my name
It seemed to me to be a bigger headache to get the SSN card after marriage because social security requires proof from the USCIS. You can get a card after being here about two weeks. Claudeth's Filipino passport was going to expire so we got her a new one and also registered her marriage with the Filipino consulate so her name was changed with the Filipino records in Manila. Maybe your country would do the same.

Use your current address, this can always change and can be indicated on the I-94 when entering the USA on the visa.

Keep in mind moving while USCIS is processing can get important documents like NOA2 letter lost in the mail.

Between studying the guides and looking at the example forms, download the actual forms and study their instructions. When you do, read carefully, interpret literally and then when you answer, do so accurately and honestly.
