Can someone please explain what is the NOA2? I know once you send in the 1-29F but what is the NOA2

 

The NOA2 is the decision notice from USCIS stating the adjudication decision on your petition.  If the petition is approved, then the NOA2 is an approval notice, if the petition is denied, then the NOA2 is a denial notice.

You don't need a police certificate from the US.  USCIS and Consular personnel are able to conduct their own background checks by accessing the relevant databases.

If you think that the answers thatvyou get are wrong and that you have the right answers, then dont ask and just follow the process without answer.
And no all consulate acept co-sponsor, read more about that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDid I get it right?

Do you guys think I should describe the story of my husband's betray, so to explain to USCIS that my intentions were pure?

 

IMO, it's not relevant to your petition.  With that being said, come interview time, your fiance should probably be prepared to answer any and all questions surrounding the circumstances regarding your failed marriage.

Question 1- Do you think US Embassy in PP will process our petition? The US PP embassy states that they process all visas for residence of Cambodia. We have been here for almost a year now.

 

The Embassy will not process your petition, a USCIS service center in the US will do that.  If your fiancee holds legal residence in Cambodia, then she will be able to have her visa interview in Phnom Phen.

Answers:

  1. No you don't
  2. You can get it from here:  https://i94.cbp.dhs....94/request.html
  3. Date on the stamp
  4. Passport number
  5. Write "See Attached" and explain in detail on a supplemental sheet.  Before writing the explanation, the top of the sheet needs to reference the entire question.  Simply writing "34A" will be insufficient.
  6. Has he filed for someone else before?

Can't he get the medical checks here in the states and be interviewed here in the US?

 

No

 

Furthermore, your title topic is a misnomer.  USCIS only approved the petition you filed, no visa has been approved since an interview at the Embassy has not taken place.

CO's have broad discretion when adjudicating a visa case. If they come to the conclusion (rightly or wrongly) that you are married, then the K1 will be denied and you will be told to pursue a spousal visa. No amount of explanation you try to give will change their minds.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioner Criminal Record Check ? ASAP response...

I'm Canadian and my Fiancee is American, we are just about ready to mail out our I-129 package.

 

1.Do we have to submit both of our birth certicicates AND both of our criminal record checks ?  You only need to include a long-form copy of your American fiance's birth certificate to prove US citizenship in the I-129F package. Alternatively, all pages of his passport. The beneficiary's birth certificate will be requested at the interview.

 

2. Does my American Fiancee need to have a record of a Criminal Record Check put in the package ? Neither one of us has a Criminal Record of any sorts .... No, he doesn't need to request his own criminal background check, it will be done by USCIS. The beneficiary's police record will be requested at the interview as well (i.e. no need to include it in the I-129F package).

 

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs letter from Employer Mandatory?

 

I am the petitioner. I started my job in March 2013. Would that be considered recent?

 


No, March 2013 - Feb 2014 is almost one year. You should be fine with what you have.

 

We also didn't have a letter from my fiance's employer (they refused to write one), and brought his job offer letter instead. No issues there.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions NOA2 & Assets for sponsorship

Hello All!  Couple of questions please!!

 

1. We received our NOA1 at the Texas Service Center on 12/03/2013. On 12/13/2013, the "Alien Registration Number" was changed when I checked the USCIS website.  We have still not received NOA2.  When can anyone suggest I start inquiring over the phone?  Should we be concerned?

 

2. Assuming I had to use just assets (currently unemployed, but searching for a job), what is the amount needed assuming just me and my fiance?  Is it 3X or 5X the 125% minimum poverty guidelines?

 

3. I have not claimed any unemployment insurance benefits so far.  Do you think this would be wise to do or not considering the petition for my fiance?   

 

This site is great!!  Thanks for everyone's input!

 

Frank

 

1. They will only entertain you once you have passed the estimated processsing times, currently at the 5 months mark. If by 13 May 2014 you still haven't received your NOA2, you can ask to speak to a Tier 2 officer and request an expedite.

 

2. 3x is for spouses, 5x is for everyone else. Fiances are future spouses, so some COs might be more lenient and allow 3x, some might be stricter and look for at least 5x. It is up to the CO's discretion.

 

3. You can claim unemployment. You can also list it on the I-134 as income but it may not be counted in whole as it is only a temporary source of income.
