K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes the RFE need a signature?

Cmon, nobody got an RFE here? Seriously, I must be the only loser who got one. I feel like the lonely depressed person at the biggest new year's eve party of the century. :(

Oh sorry I didn't know you had not received yet. Charles got the IMBRA RFE, but I don't know if he signed, or just filled the papers with answers, I'm gonna ask him to answer you as soon as he wakes up.
There's This RFE Thread that might help.
Do you have any idea what it might be? Can it be about IMBRA, or did you start your process after this IMBRA #######? Can it be because you didn't send enough evidence?
Sorry I can't help more :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVCS stopped touching??
Have you received thr RFE request already? About touches, not everybody gets touched, some do like 8 times, some do once, some never do, what you have to expect after your NOA1 is the RFE because of the new IMBRA laws (if you haven't received it yet or if you sent the new i129 already) and after that the NOA2 can take a while. Be patient, it's a long journey.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Process in Portuguese
QUOTE (CRANEZILLA @ Aug 23 2007, 08:33 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello All;

I am new to this board and am just beginning the process of applying for a K-1 visa for my Lady.
I have spent the last three weeks researching the process and paperwork necessary for the application
I believe I have almost all of the required documents, had some hand dilivered from Brazil last week by a returning friend.
My problem is reassuring my fiancee in Brazil that the process is ongoing and takes wuite some time.
She speaks virtually no English and I speak Portuguese enough for basic comunication.
I am looking for s web site that she can got to to have here questions answered by people who unnderstand her concerns and her language.
She is very frustrated and confused that i can get a visa to come see her in 2 weeks and it will take six months or more for her visa.
If anyone could help me out I would greatly appriciate it.

HAve you started the K1 process already? If so timeline.gif here --- > Timeline
That's make it easier for you to ask for help with your process.
She can join us at the Brasileiritchas thread that Mononoke28 posted above the link.
Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview documents needed
Ali, you don't need any of that proof for your interview or AOS, but if you plan on getting a job here in the States I'd advise you to do so and bring it with you.
I had to ask for 2 of my ex employers to send me a document (autenticado em cartorio) proving I worked for them after I was here in the States. And it's way more complicated doing that after being here. Remember it might help you getting a better job. I also brought my college papers, which is useless here, but still, if someday I need I have them.

I agree that she shouldn't lie cuz further on when/if she applies for a K1 that might come back to hunt her.
NessaFemaleBrazil2008-01-18 10:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGirfriend in Brazil, B1 visa or K1
Another thing, being unemployed will lower her chances of getting a visa. She should apply while she's still employed.
NessaFemaleBrazil2008-01-16 12:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGirfriend in Brazil, B1 visa or K1
There's a chance she will be denied. Specially if she doesn't have any ties to Brazil. But you said she does. She has to show evidence she plans on going back to Brazil and that she can afford the trip to the United States. Like mortgage, Imposto de Renda, college, family, etc.
NessaFemaleBrazil2008-01-16 12:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGirfriend in Brazil, B1 visa or K1
B1. If she's going there to visit you she needs a visitor visa. In the future if and when you decide to get married then she applies for a K1 visa.

It seems like everybody who's gotten a lawyer has been screwed up by the lawyer not knowing what he/she is doing and has regretted it. You don't need one.

yes. I've heard over and over again stories like that. If your case is not complicated, I'd advise you to read all the guides and do it yourself.

I will tell you what I was told, pray for them innocent.gif . My mom suggested that I tell people that the subject on my fiance and myself is closed. I have been told he was a "mail-order" husband, i am getting used, someone talk some sense into her. anyways, if you are in love, what it all boils down to is, what you do ultimately is between you, your fiance, and your God. and as i told my family and friends, if it is a mistake, pray for me, but remember, it is my mistake to make kicking.gif

Keith has just broken up with me, he cant take the let downs and the being apart anymore. He said goodbye , what do i do now? We are weeks from the interview but have no cosponsor and I didnt make enough to do it so I need to know what I have to do now. I am broken , I am lost and I am all alone. This hurts so bad and I cant take the pain. He is my life and without him I am nothing.


I am sorry he is doing this to you rose.gif

I don't know much about your story but you talk about letdowns and being apart. Here is what I see from your timeline:

You have both spent months together either here or in the UK
Your NOA2 came fairly quickly with no RFE
Your case is now at the embassy

I understand that separation is painful, whether you get to see each other frequently or not, we all feel that. Let me just say that the 2 of you have been very fortunate to spend as much time together as you have, not a lot of people get to do that.

I think he needs to put his situation in perspective. If I were you, I would send him links, or cut and paste some of the heart wrenching stories of those who:

- only get to visit each other once during the whole process
- have to wait upwards of 6 months for an NOA2
- have to wait 4 months for an interview at the consulate
- have to go through AP before getting the visa

Those are real letdowns.

Then maybe he will see all this in a different light and step up to help you figure this out.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Please take care of yourself, Chelle. There is some excellent advice in this thread. AP really does suck, and only prolongs the process, trust me. But love will find a way.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresto write a senator
QUOTE (Yader&Sarah @ Jan 25 2009, 09:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
On Jan 6, 2009, after 148 days since receiving our NOA1, in desperation I wrote both Senator Claire McKaskil (D) and Senator Kit Bond ®. I sent the letters, which where similar (the only difference is in that to Bond, I mentioned being from the same small Missouri town), by both fax and snail mail.

Jan 7, 2009, I came home from teaching night school to an NOA2 email in my inbox, woohoo!! I felt a little silly for my letters to the senators and made a note to follow up concerning our new status.

But of couse in the new world of "After NOA2 Approval," I forgot. About a week later, I got an email from McKaskil's office saying they would look into it in 30-60 days.

On Saturday, Jan 24, 2009, I received two pieces of mail. 1) Letter from NVC and 2) Letter from Kit Bond's office.

The letter from Bond's office stated that they were happy to inquire about our case and included was the hard copy response sent by CSC USCIS. It was dated, Jan 7, 2009, and stated that our case will be with an adjudicated in 30-45 days and Happy New Year!

If I made this story too long and drawn out, sorry, I still find it intriguing. Not only did the senator's constituent office act, they acted FAST, within 24 hours of my fax, and as far as I'm concerned it worked!

We were approved 149 days after our NOA1, 1 day after sending a letter to the senator's constituent offices, and the same day as Senator Bond's office contacted USCIS.
kicking.gif

and to think I almost didn't write a letter...


Congrats, I am dealing with the same to senators, and I agree, Bond's office is much more responsive. Too bad he announced this is his last term in office. Hopefully we will all be finished with the process before it happens kicking.gif

she was interview in vietnamese, there was an american sat next to them but he didnt say a word...have anyone received an email from USCIS just like the one i post earlier?


I have received the exact email the early part of February, I believe it was the 4th or 5th. Very standard email. In for a long wait. My fiance and I have decided to get married and file for CR1 when I return to the USA. My K1 petition expired on December 4, and right now, CSC is not reviewing expired fiance petitions. Hope that helps you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWithdrawal of petition/ any consequences of withdrawal affecting future petitions
Be aware if you withdraw a petition, and plan on petitioning for the same beneficiary, then it will raise red flags. It is, in a way, agreeing with the COs observation of the relationship. If you want to withdraw the petition because the relationship has dissolved, then yes, all the petitioner needs to do is write a letter to USCIS referencing the approval number. Some people get it notarized, although I am not sure if it is necessary. If the relationship has indeed dissolved, it should not have any bearing on whether or not the beneficiary gets a visa through another petitioner, but they should be ready with information if it does come up in the interview. My petition was returned by the embassy, and received on February 4th in California, and a well-known attorney who specializes with returned petitions, advised under no circumstances, should i withdraw. he, in fact, suggested that I file another petition on top, and reference the previous, with more concrete evidence. We plan on getting married in September and doing a CR1. If you want to withdraw because your petition has expired, no need, because the latest memo is USCIS is no longer obligated to review expired petitions. I hope this helps, and good luck in what you decide good.gif
