K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsdoes it mean an RFE??
Patients is a virtue unless you are appling for a visa.

Then call them and bug the ####### out of em LOl.

I am kind of serious about that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If its not moving call and find out why yes look at the check call your congressman. We pay the money we follow the rules we should demand results.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI went to see my congressman
USCIS has to return a response to a congressman with in 48 hours . Unless you are refering to your case being completed they should know what is going on with in a couple of days unless the congressmans office is dragging thier feet.

I find it interesting that many times after the congressman/woman calls poof things are moving again. They say they have no power but USCIS and the NVC must feel some kind of pressure from govenment officials when they call or it wouldnt be like that. My wifes USCIS papers we completed the day after my congressman called them huh? funny how that is also same with the NVC.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRe: The 6 month club
I filed in the middle of November 2008. We are working on a CR-1 visa which supposedly takes longer than the K-1 visa. My wifes interview is this coming tuesday, 2 days short of 6 months. We had no RFE's but did lose a couple of weeks in the DS3032 acceptance phase ( The government process system is screwed up ).

So having said that if all goes well in the interview she will be able to come here 2 days short of 6 months. So for you by christmas is realistic but you cant play around you'll have to get moving and be thurough dont make any mistakes. I think that is what slows it down most, forgeting some thing or leaving things out ornot paying attention to details. Also when you do the papers dont sit on things to go to the next step be ready to move on it immediatly.

Study the Ling Che short cuts as that will help the process go much faster. ling che sortcut here. This is for the CR-1 visa but some of the steps are the same you might get a better idea of what is going on. Main thing is be prepared when the next step comes along

Its time to become the biggest freaking squeakiest wheel on the face of the planet. You say you representatives are not agressive enough. Make their lives misserable until they are agressive engough. Dont stop until you get results. Call your local news and see if you can get them to do an interview. Write every one you can think of every freaking day.

Call write go see the President of the USA, You think Im kidding I am not. When our goventment gets to this point that is alll they will listen to. Put up a fit every where you go make it heard in public.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresExpedited Process
5 1/2 months now a days is not really an expedite. My wife willhave her interview next month and we applied for an expedite 4 times and was rejected every time with a legitimate reason that falls under the guide lines. Some people are being aproved in a month and a half. IF you want it to be sure and go fast make sure you have all your ####### together when it is aproved at USCIS. If you dont it will slow way down. Make sure all the forms are filed out and all info needed is gathered so that the day you get the aproval to move on it you can do it that day and no waiting

I will also say that yes contact your senator they seem to be the only ones the immigration people listen to

I have been thinking that now we have a new president that perhaps VJers should get a petition together with all of us electronically signing it. Not that it would help any of us if ever but maybe future VJers.

Well at least to put a bug in his ear that yes we are here we exist and we dont like what is going on nor do we think that is is right that we should be forced into a corner like we are regarding immigration. Maybe it will change who knows but if we do nothing it will always be the same maybe worse

Get a job in health care brings up another subject I forgot to mention.

We are now on line for nationalized health care that is only going to hurt health care and it wont pay ####### for money. I am in the dental health care and its really hurting becasue no one can get finanacing for the care they need and the insurance doesnt pay for very much. No one wants to part with their money in fear that they will need it for food or pay bills

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresafriad you will not be a familiy with the current economic situation
I am not normally a paranoid person but the current economic situation really scares me.

As with the great depression our current economic situation could cave in over night and with the Immigration support laws as they are now how many of us would not qualify for many years?

Even though the stimulous bill was passed the stock market is still taking a dive. California is broke ( 8th largest economy in the world) Kansas is broke. The state of Washington where I live is canceling or cutting way back projects like crazy. How many other states are broke but not saying. People are still being laid off left and right.

I lost my job last October and had to start my own business becasue I had no other alternative for my situation. I am doing ok enough to get my wife here, but what about tomorow or next week or month?

It is my beleife that if this continues to go on like it is most of us with in a few months will never beable to be with our loved ones or it will be a very long time. The more time USCIS drags their feet the more of us will have to drop out of the process.

This whole thing scare me

We are going for a CR-1. I understand that this part takes about 2 months so I am hoping that maybe april 15 th isnt being un realistic. I went on line this week end filled out all the forms I think we need. ( I cant find a DS 3032 form on line that isnt expired can any one enlighten me on that? ) Every thing is ready so when she gets her packet we just exchange the forms and send them in or what ever they tell us to do.

Give a judge 50-75$ to perform (aka) act a marriage and not do the proper paper work. That is most likely more than they will make in a week . They will do it. There is nothing illegal about it but it would be a little deceptive to friends and familiy if they ever found out

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresLas Vegas Marriage??
or you can get married now and file for a CR-1 either way if you wait she can come here faster or if you get married here she can come here faster (but she has to go back home after your wedding here and wait that process ).

If you file a K-1 then get married in peru you will have to start all over again and lose money as the K-1 will no longer be vailid. So if you are looking for fast getting married twice or waiting to file after a peru wedding will just take for ever.

IF you want to get married in peru and get her here I say go to peru now and do it . Its alot cheaper to get married in peru for sure. Or get married here and do a religious wedding in peru.

QUOTE (mlybrand @ Mar 2 2009, 08:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi all.

So a mutual friend introduced my girlfriend and me. We have mostly been doing the distance thing, but I did get to go down and spend 3 weeks in Peru with her. She just got a tourist visa (10 years) and is coming up for a week in April.

Our plan really is to get married in Peru in October-ish (after I get all the paperwork together). But, kind of on a lark, we have been talking about flying down to Las Vegas and getting a quickie marriage just for the two of us. We wanted to keep it secret and everything and we would still go forward with the marrying in Peru plan. The question I have is: would this Vegas marriage cause us problems when we initiate the visa process after marrying in Peru?

I bet I know the answer, but spring time is making me feel all irresponsible smile.gif

Mark



To get married in Peru you will have to submit a form that says you are single. That then would be fraud even though it would be with the same person. Maybe some one else knows a little more about this than me.
I would suspect that would make your peruvian marriage null and void.

Another thing is you can start the paper work now by doing the the K-1 visa and she will be here faster but if you get married you will have to start the process all over again becasue your status will have changed.

So your not sure/dont really want to include your taxes for this yr in your paperwork because you want to send the paperwork soon right? and you maybe dont want it to bring down your possibilities of showing that you can support the immigrant?



I dont mind including my taxes but I dont have them and I dont want to wait in fact I might need an extention on my taxes ( divorce last year sell of house start up of new business purchase of new house). I am not hidding any thing I just dont have them. I am well with in the income limits. I wont beable to provide an emplyers letter but I have a busines licence I have profit and loss statements. HHMMM this could be a problem

I dont want it rejected or slwed down by an RFE that is what I am trying to avoid. I dont really have the ability to have a co sponsor either.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of support question I-864
I am not sure what I will need for eveidence for the Affidavit of support, I-864

I made $60 k + for the last 3 years but in October last year I was laid off. There were no jobs in my town for what I do so I had to start my own business because moving wasnt an option.

With my new business I am still well with in the requiered income.

MY question is do I need only to turn in the last 3 years of Income taxes for proof or are they going to want profit and loss ( not a problem) for the last few months or tax returns ( a real problem) for that period?
My problem is that to do my taxes right now is kind of a nightmare and I want to get the I-864 turned in this week.

I have spoken with the immigration officer at the spokane Washington office and he said they only want to see if I have the ability to earn an income so I only need the 3 years tax returns but for some reason I am not believing him. I would like your experiences

Learn from my bad experience do not use the US government site to email your DS-3032. I doesnt work and you will not find that out untill they make you wait several days to say oh well we never recieved it. ( I Lost 2 weeks becasue of it)

You have to email it from the beneficieries email address and use the Email letter format from VJ guide of short cuts. It must come from the beneficiery

CUt and paste and add your information you will then get a conformation email that says they got your email if you dont get a conformation then they didnt get it. and yes some are getting approved 3032's as fast as the same day but I have not had that expereince.

I think you can put what you actually earn. Ask HR to clarify the over time you get and back up what you say you make even if its different than what HR says with past time card recipts.. I talked alot with the IO at the spokane office . Mostly he said they are more interested in your ability to earn as opposed to what you actaully earn.
