K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNo Reason Denial. URGENT HELP.
OP, here are 3 possible outcomes with this petition ranging from most likely to least likely once USCIS receives it back:
  • They will allow the validity to expire and simply tell you to feel free to start over at square 1.
  • They will send you a Notice of Intent to Revoke (NOIR). If you receive an NOIR, you must respond with a rebuttal to all reasons stated on the notice and do so by the stated deadline.
  • They will reaffirm the petition without asking for any additional items from you.

Marriage licenses are usually issued by the country clerk's office, check with that office of the county you are looking to get married in.

 

As for finding an officiant, Google is your friend.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresplease help K-1 Visa for G-325-A

Beneficiary must sign their own G-325A form unless they have given the petitioner legal permission via Limited Power of Attorney to sign the form on their behalf.

 

IMO, instead of using whiteout, it's better to print another form with the correct information.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresJ-1 VISA, Re-schedule interview

You are probably already aware of this site:  http://ustraveldocs.com/cn/

 

If the Consulate has the file (your first post indicates they do), then you go to that site and schedule an interview when:

  • A) The 2 year HRR is met.
  • B) The first date available that you can see

 

In addition, you will also need to use that site to designate where the passport will be picked up.

 

**Moderator hat on**

 

~~~If you wish, this thread can be moved to the China regional forum.  People there can who have dealt with the process regarding return of passports since the new process of returning them was implemented after the interview can provide you with estimates.~~~

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!

Hello everyone! smile.png I am totally new on this forum, but I am so happy to read about your successful entries to the US, while your K-1 is in process!

 

We sent our K-1 application in February 2013, already got our first NOA. And we decided that I am going to visit my fiance for the summer, and actually I am leaving on 22 of June... I am kinda nervous. It will be a long flight, like always, and actually 2 flights (Poland-Amsterdam-Seattle). I already visited the US twice in my life, but not for so long, using my travel visa, and we haven't been engaged yet. The last time I visited was in December 18, 2012 and I came back on January 13, 2013, and I've never had any problems at the POE.

 

I seriously have everything that I could only think about, I mean proof of the ties to my country, like the itinerary (which also says the date of my return), the whole copy of 1-129F, bank statement and records, travel insurance, proof of being an employee at my previous company I worked for (it was a temporary job, so that's why I was able to get money to visit my fiance), statement from my new employer, that I will start work as soon as I get back from my vacation in the US, school statement (with the date of the beginning of my last semester), and even a proof of ownership of the apartment... This is the very first time I am so scared. I have no idea what to expect at the POE, what questions... Of course I don't want to stay there, until my visa is granted, I am aware of the consequences and that would be so stupid if I risked already all the things we put into this visa, our time, money, nerves... and I understand I could even end up being banned from entering the US for the rest of my life. So I really DO hope that the person I am going to talk to in Seattle understands that we're doing everything legally and I am not moving until getting an approved visa. I'll keep my fingers crossed, and wish me luck.. sad.png

 

I wish I could hear from anyone, that was also visiting during his/her K-1 was being processed, and his/her POE was in Seattle

 

Ehhh, why is it always so scary and complicated, when all you want to do is just see the person you love...sad.png

 

Lots of love and patience to everyone!

 

LadyPiret

Hello! My fiance is from Seattle. I visited him 3 times , the one time was before our NOA2 in February. Now, my experience was weird, my other VJ friend on the other hand said everything was ok for her in POE Seattle, no questions no anything. I will try and find my experience. Make sure you have your NOA1 with you, strong ties like letter from boss and landlond and be very friendly and truthfully.


Well!!! I am in Seattle.. let me share my experience then.

Passport (customs) control : Super friendly
The lady ask me immidiately
-who am I visiting. I said my fiance and my friends.
-What do I do for a living.
what does my fiance do for a living
-If I carry foods. I said died fruits lol
-When I am getting married. I said when the k1 visa is approved. She smiled like she was saying good answer and thats it.

Now the stupid part. I was "randomly" selected for the customs control (to search my suitcase)
The man there was so tricky.. He asked me :
-why do I have greek passport and why do I live in Germany
-What do I do for a living and to explain him what that is.
-What does my fiance do for a living and explain what that was
-how did we met (I said facebook and he laughed)
-searched my bags while asking a thousand questions like : when did I visit last time, when did visit last time, how many days I will stay and THEN He saw my documents like letter from landlord, letter from boss and petsitter and he was like look... I searched your bags and it seems that you are for vacation here but seeing that documents its like saying I trying to hard.. Im like ok.. really?.. how else am I going to proove my ties? sad.gif He said : why did you bring a birth certificate (it was a residence certificate) I was like its a residence certificate to proove that I live in Germany! It has my birth place as my passport (smiling)
Then the last thing that was weird was like, why dont you guys get married now and file for AOS? I was like really... thats illigal and we are getting a k1 visa.. everything sir will be done be the law. If I file for AOS I am illigal.. and thats not nice.He was like ok ok.
He was friendly and kinda flirty too or rather too friendly idk I was so upset.
He then said to me have a nice trip and next time you will come here only with your visa

Thats the last time im flying seriously that was SO bad.




















That was my experience. Then again all weird things happen to me lol

I know this is how my fiance and I handling this. Dropping me off, me crying and everybody staring at me.. sigh. Mine is 5100 miles haha xD With the route through Greenland!
No I am home and we have again the silly time difference. Sigh sigh

Sigh. I never believed in love too until I met him. The silly thing is if I take another vacation off work I have to stay another month here. The vacation I'm using I could use it to quit earlier. Sigh sigh.. Even so, when he visits me its cheaper :P I'll convince him to take 5 days off again :( Thats another silly thing that awaits us too! Namely is the US you are allowed to day 1 day off every month whereas in Germany 28 a year and it resets every year.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
So sitting here at the SEA Airport and crying and thinking.. I already visited 3 times (this was my 3rd) and all of my visits were about 8-9 days each.. they told me that next I will visit it should be with my visa. I don't know if they said that seriously or just you know, kind of wishing me that.. I am sitting here and already miss my fiance, and thinking if this takes AGAIN too long maybe I should visit again. But this would be hard no? Anybody traveled more than 3 times in the us? :/

Well yes but the thing is that he made me feel as if I was wrong you see? He told me, everything was ok until I saw your documents and you're trying too much. WEIRD.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!

You said recently about being scared about being refused entry and having to pay for a ticket back to Germany? As far as I am aware, it is your airline's responsibility to get you back and all they will do is use the return portion of your airline ticket to do that. Airlines have to do initial scrutiny at your departure airport to check that you have the correct visa to fly (and a return ticket). At Heathrow, a company called ICTS do the scrutiny.


Really? Well If that's the case then I don't care lol! I was so anxious and I'm in such stress because I thought I will get on the next available plane (any airline any plane) and with lufthansa the return ticket ALONE costs (one way) 3000 Euros!!! But the normal ticket with return costs only 500 so you see why I#m freaking out lol. I didn't know they can use the same and not pay extra.

Can someone who was denied confirm?

Hello again, I have one more question. I have been reading this topic through and I am so afraid now about my trip. I have everything as suggested but my question is has anyone has experience with POE in Seattle? And I was thinking when they ask me
What is the purpose of visit? To say I'm visiting my fiance and our friends, and then tell them about the k1 visa that I'm waiting since August and I wanted to visit and blah blah. Like directly. And present the documents etc. Or should I just make it short and answer the basic questions without much info?
ArinlarsFemaleGermany2013-01-20 08:12:00

I have big printed receipts with the company of my landlord for all the months I've been paying. I don't have a contract I just rent a furnitured guest appartment. I will print photos too just in case. So should I print something from the bank to show how much money I have in the bank?

I'm visiting February , should I pay my rent for March too and keep the receipt to show it to the people there? I'm taking:

-my NOA1
-the whole package except the photos and the evidence (or should I take it with me?
- A letter from my boss that says that I'm working permanently there and I have paid vacation from .. too.. and that I'm excepted to be at work at that date.

Hm. that's it

My NOA2 will not come until March or end of February, they say the work on application from 17th July these days. Our NOA1 was on 8th August so I decided I will go and visit my fiance next month since I want to spend my birthday with my love. What must the letter from my boss say and my landlady? I don't pay any bills except from gym and I have a bank account. (Water and electricity bills are in the rent so I don't pay that)

They send us the same thing. I hear that for the first time now. Says nothing in the forum like this. Could this be because my fiancé didnt fill in properly?

Also should I send more photos now or tickets now for more proof just in case because when when filled the petition we where together 2 months?

Hey I received an email about the RFE the 22nd... but I cant wait to get the letter on the mail!! I feel the same as you!!!! I'm worry if they need more evidence of our relationship, we have pics... but don't have calls, we use voxer and FaceTime every day during the whole day, but you cant save a a register of those messages!!

Best luck for you!! I'm super nervous, anxious, frustrated... have all kind of emotions!!


Thank you likewise! We have viber text messaging and Skype. If you pay 5 $ with skype every month you have unlimited calls to the USA mobile phones from skype only :D

I am so scared. They send an RFE out with mail at 23 April (Yesterday). I am in panic because I am about to loose my job and think I don#t have enough time to get to the US without being completely broke so how long does it take to be approved after we respont to the RFE?

Also, we were together for 3 months because we filed and until now we made 5 trips and have tons of photos and evidence suchs as calls (we ar enow 1 year almost together). We call on the phone everyday like 3-4 times and then we have skype etc etc. I am super scared that I won't be approved :( Anyone in a similar situation?

A question : If the RFE requires more evidence like photos or tickets or chat logs, can we send recent? Because after the NOA1 we made 3 more trips and have 200 more photos and a whole bunch of other stuff.
