Pay...

They are data collection forms the attorneys use. Then his $12 per hour secretary fills in the data from those forms onto the official forms that are on this site for download free. 3 weeks after the OP gives all the data and documents to the attorney, he will call them in to sign the real forms which could have been at USCIS if it weren't for the attorney slowing things down. His letter of intent is just his example of the sample letter of intent here. I guess that makes it worth the price.


ah, yeah... I think I understood that from her reply

If there are visas in the passport, don't the visas usually have the passport number printed on them? Wouldn't a copy of the visa page plus the ID page be enough to prove that you didn't send copies of your buddy's passport pages?

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Much.


Why was he not on the petition?

Since he was not on the petition the consulate may have "heartburn" that you now want to magically add him

K-2 must be issued no later than 1 year from the K-1 issue date

You start with the consulate... contact them for procedure

QUOTE (Zen Den @ Aug 26 2009, 01:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
best to call the NVC for your unique case. but just a thought, if your application is still being processed (no NOA2 yet) it might still be the fastest thing to submit new forms to include your son, after he is born. he'll be a K2 since your fiance is on a K1. you can bring them both at the same time...just a thought smile.gif


No, NVC would not be the correct place as NVC has little or nothing to do with "K" visas. Proper place to deal with this would be the consulate.

No. most likely the child will be potentially a USC and not a K-2 if the OP is a qualifying USC (assumng of course the USC is the biological father)..... A USC does not need a visa and cannot be issued a visa. Any potential claims to citizenship need to be resolved first.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDS-160 Online Application Will Not Print From Firefox
QUOTE (Spoom @ Sep 4 2009, 02:44 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi folks,

I noticed someone else over in the Canada forum mentioning the same problem that I had with the new DS-160 GenNIV application: namely, that it won't print from Firefox.

My experience (and apparently also this person's) has been that the confirmation page will print, but attempting to print the full application will print out half of your answers, with the rest cut off at the bottom, and then a blank page. There should generally be five pages in the printout. Some consulates (like Montreal) want the full application as well as the confirmation page, so this presents a bit of a problem.

Are other people experiencing this problem as well? If so, we might want to make this a sticky.

Do any other browsers work?

For now, I can only recommend that anyone needing to fill out the new DS-160 online application do it from Internet Explorer. If you've already filled it out part of the way from Firefox, you can save your current data to a file on your hard drive, and then restore the application from that file inside Internet Explorer.

Unfortunately, if you've fully filled out the application in Firefox, you'll most likely have to do it over again in Internet Explorer to be able to print, unless you have an earlier data save (the application doesn't let you save once you're at the last page, and you can't go back). An agent at the Montreal 1-900 live operator line told me that multiple submissions shouldn't be a problem (they'll only scan one barcode, after all), but you might want to include a note with an explanation.


There is an add-on for Firefox that will allow Firefox to emulate IE.... go to mozilla.com and install it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdvice? How to proceed with Immigration while engaged to US Citizen?
QUOTE (lynnesigouin @ Sep 4 2009, 04:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Sorry I used the wrong terminology. My Fiancee is a US Citizen. He was born in California and lived there most of his life. Maybe if I explain the situation in better detail it will help. He came to Canada on a work contract playing a professional sport. This contract was expired after 2 years, however he had enough in savings to remain here and didn't have to legally work in Canada.
He did travel back home a few times a year for no more then a week at a time. He did own a home here in Canada and also has a son here.
He never applied for Canadian Citizen ship. He was always approved back in Canada with no hesitation. This is where I am not sure if we will qualify for DCF? Because he is a US citizen that has been living in Canada for the past 5 years will that be classified as legal? This is why we would like to contact the US Consulate for advice. If he explains our situation, they can at least let us know if we even qualify. Otherwise we will have to take the long route.


It will depend on his "status" in Canada... if he was a "tourist" then likely not... If he had legal "residency" then maybe so

DCF requires him to still be resident of Canada... If he "moves" bask to the US then his eligibility to file DCF is gone. DCF is only available for a petition for a spousal visa and not a fiance(e) visa

The child should have a right to dual citizenship. It has a right to citizenship in the Philippines by jus soli, or having been born there. It has the right to US citizenship by jus sanguinis, or having a US citizen parent. In the event a Philippine citizen acquires citizenship in another country by naturalization then they would have to apply to reacquire their Philippine citizenship under R.A. 9225, but that doesn't apply when the citizenship is acquired by birth. Both the Philippines and the US will recognize the dual citizenship.

Yes, the consulate will probably deny a visa for the child. A US citizen does not qualify for a visa because they don't need one.

Have the child's birth abroad registered at the consulate, and get her a US passport.


Thank you; Yes I am aware of her right to Dual Citizenship. If it is required to register her birth with the consulate and get a US Passport, how do we do that? What documentation is required? Do I need to be there in order to get all this accomplished? Thank you again for your time and sound advise.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 - Quick basic question
QUOTE (paul p @ Sep 7 2009, 08:10 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
All;

1) When NOA2 is sent back, i beleive it is only a short letter. The original package sent as part of the I-129F is not sent back. Is this correct?

2) If this is the case, the pack the petitioner the beneficiary sends to the petitioner is the photocopy of the pack (including RFE's) that they originally sent. Is this correct?

3) The guide says that original of documents should be sent. We never did this for I-129F and it was a photocopy of the birth certificate. Bascially just send the beneficiary exactly what was sent originally. It was accepted so should be fine. Is this correct?

4) The beneificary then has to do packet 3 and this also needs things like birth cetificates. Again, assume phoocopies are ok as long as any signatures are original

Thanks as always

Paul


1) correct

2) yes

3) i did not provide any originals to my wife in the information I gave her

4) P3 will most likely request that beneficiary to bring the original as well as a photocopy to the interview. They will review the original and keep the photocopy. Do NOT allow the consulate to keep any originals

you can file anytime when ready..

IMBRA "waiver" is for multiple petitions (two or more) for multiple benneficiaries (two or more). Since you will have a second petition with the same benneficiary the provision of IMBRA are not suppose to apply.

Originally when IMBRA came out there was some questions as to whether the USCIS was adjudicating your situation properly. I can only assume that they have it corrected... but nevertheless, you should have no issues with the USCIS. In your second petition, explain the original situation and then close the explanation with "While I do not think my situation is subject to the multiple petition filing limitation of IMBRA, if however they are, I hereby request a waiver". or something to this effect.


Going strictly by what the I-129F instructions say, he will have to request a waiver—see the quote in my previous post.

No big deal. He just writes a letter explaining the circumstances and requesting a waiver of the filing limitations and includes it with the new I-129F submission.


True, but I think that is what I said... however, this situation is exactly why it is important to go back to the actual wording in the law as it makes his "waiver" request a slam dunk IMO when you actually provide why it is not needed in the first place.

In your second petition, explain the original situation and then close the explanation with "While I do not think my situation is subject to the multiple petition filing limitation of IMBRA, if however they are, I hereby request a waiver". or something to this effect.

Well that is indeed true. What I meant was that not having a return ticket would not be the reason to stop me from entering. And to be honest, I have not heard of ordinary Finnish citizens having any problems entering US. There would have to be something seriously wrong if a person is barred entry.


depends on what you mean by "seriously" wrong... if you "overusing" the VWP it is not something "seriously" wrong other than guilty of overuse, but you will be and can be refused entry for this reason and it occurs more frequently than you might think

Even though it is completely up to the immigration officials to decide whether or not they allow me to enter US I do not think they have a reason to stop me from entering because I have a return ticket to Finland.


they can stop you from entering for any reason... a return ticket is not de facto evidence of a guanteed return

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow do you deal with a name correction
very little chance of CSC doing any correction.... don't worry about it and just prepare the visa application documents correctly
