K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresigor's list. GRAGH!
And just as an FYI - that is merely a fraction of application sent and being processed by the USCIS, Igors list comprises of VJ members only. There are far more people who are not members of this board and have applications in.

Goodluck to you and don't let that list stress you out.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLinks to how to fill out form + 3 other questions
QUOTE (awu25 @ Dec 25 2008, 12:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
1. Can someone give me the link on how to fill out K1 form?
2. What would require me to get a waiver? If I sponsored someone within one year, would I need a waiver?
3. Is there also a link on how to file for waiver and how long approximately does a waiver take? How much time would it add to the totally process time for K1?
4. If I met someone on an online friend making site(not exclusively for dating and is for people who want to meet other people outside the country learning culture, travel and possibly dating) would it consider as meeting them thru an agency?

I'm from the Philippines and my marriage was already annulled since 2004...I'm just wondering if they would still require from the father a clearance for my 8 y/o daughter to come with me to US... I'm already using my maiden's name on the passport while my daughter is using her father's last name... Will this be a problem? Hope someone would help me with this? What are the requirements of Immigration for this case...thanks



Since you were married and your child carries the fathers last name, the embassy may ask.

Check the DSWD website for info, here

so when you decided to file for the K1 you didnt do any research on it to find out what all needed to be done.

well...welcome to VJ. you will either have it sent back or get an RFE for everything.
read thru the guides and prepare yourself with the K1 and all of its supporting documents.

good luck

Just calm down, whatever you are missing USCIS will just send you an RFE (Request for Evidence). Whatever they need or what ever is missing they will let you know. So when you get that RFE just follow directions and send them what they want.

Hang in there and good luck!

Godspeed

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow do I do this?!
QUOTE (Omnivore @ Feb 16 2009, 10:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Thanks guys, I'm clearly just freaking out because it's all a bit overwhelming. Hopefully following the steps will be enough!



Read the guides carefully. Every form has instructions on it, read those carefully as well. If you are unsure VJ has sample forms that are filled out, you can refer to those as well. Remember the more time you invest on triple checking the lesser chance of you getting an RFE (Request for Evidence) which can delay processing.

Godspeed!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresproof of ongoing relationship
2 years ago means prior to filing the K1 1-129F. USCIS Stage of the process.

Consular Stage is where you prove on going and bonafide relationship. In our case the CO wanted to know how we met which was 10+ years ago, read the signature. smile.gif

3 to 5 chats for each month

The only thing the CO saw was when we met wich was YEARSSSSS ago, he just took our Elementary School yearbook from 1990 and that was it.

An atty will only cost you a lot of money, and slow down your application process. Most everyone will tell you this. Atty has no magic tricks to get your visa approved sooner.




It definitely slowed us down

I have zero sympathy for people who place inadequate postage on mailed items, let alone something so crucial.

However, when you next call USCIS and reach the Customer Disservice representative, INSIST on being escalated to an immigration officer. The rep will object to this. Stand your ground. State that the rep is required to transfer you upon your request. If you get further flak, ask "How am I wrong? What was your name and ID number again?" Only when you are transferred to an IO will you get any meaningful or valid information. And, good luck with the impending birth.



With these type of documents, I AGREE! good.gif
