Depends on the consulate... a co-sponsor in Bangkok will reduce your chances by 100%.

I am not sure what Lima's requirement or historical practice is but your answer needs come from someone who is knowledgeable of Lima, as an answer from someone who does not understand the consulate's practice might give you the wrong answer and false hope.

yes, income is income... it is not limited to "earned" income. you still will need to provide the evidence as to the source and amount

Dear All,

We are in the process of completing our I-129F form... gathering necessary documents, checking it over and over and over again to ensure there are no mistakes, etc. before we ship our package from Cairo, Egypt to Vermont.

The instruction of the I-129F states that we must pay the filing fee from a US bank account. I am currently living and working in Egypt, have been for over a year, and my paycheck is directly deposited into an Egyptian bank account. My US accounts have no funds, etc. The instructions said to contact the Consulate if the form was being filed from overseas (aka, we're not in the US and we're mailing the form to Vermont from Egypt...) for more information on the filing fee. I emailed the Consular and they told me that the filing fee could be paid at the time of the interview in Egypt.

Has anyone done this before??? I'm nervous! Paying the filing fee at the Consular at the time of the interview would be great (and I would feel much safer than mailing the payment from Egypt... it might never make it!), but will USCIS still process the application like normal or will they set it aside without payment??? I would HAAAAAAATEEEEEE to send in the package and wait and wait and wait to only find out that the process will be delayed because of no payment! It just seems strange that they would process the file like normal without payment?

Thoughts?

I don't think I have seen this in the guides....?


The consulate is referring to the visa application fee which is different than the petitions fee... the visa fee is paid to the consulate at interview time

True . the visa fee is 131 $ thats what he will have to pay it at CIB bank in Egypt . but the visa application fee is 455$ which you have to send the payment to USCIS .


What is the 131$ for? How is that paid at the interview?


it is the visa application fee... and is apparently paid to CIB bank... The Cairo consulate website or visa information packet from the consulate should have all the particulars

I need help with this issue.

I am applying for the K-1 visa right now. My fiance is Mexican I am American. We plan on having our marriage in January, or whenever we get approved. When she comes to the US on her K-1 visa and we get married, can she travel between Mexico and the US?

We have a family event in May of 2009 to go to. If we get married in January of 2009, will she be able to travel back and forth if we have the permanent residency filled out and completed?

I know she can travel back and forth on the K-1 visa, but I have not found information on traveling back and forth when we are married. PLEASE HELP.


she CANNOT travel back and forth on the K-1 visa as it is a single use visa... departure from the US without greencard or advance parole will leave her stranded at the border when trying to return....

In order to travel back and forth she must married and either have sent in the I-485 and has the greencard approved (4-12 months typical) or submitted the I-131 in conjunction with the I-485 and have had Advance parole approved (about 60-90 days after submission, typical)

A bit off topic and also NOT true.

Anyone who is a US Citizen "BY BIRTH" can run for the office of the president, they can be born in the USA OR overseas. ONLY NATURALIZED citizens are un-able to run for president.

Examples: Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor of California CANNOT run for president, but: John McCain CAN even though John McCain was born in Panama to US Citizens.


the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that birth "in the United States" and subjection to U.S. jurisdiction at the time of birth, entitles one to citizenship.

The courts have never ruled on this but it has been said that in Mcain's situation was that he was born subject to US jurisdiction when he was born in the Canal zone while his parents were on military deployment. Had it been different there would have been challenges to his eligibility.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSend Originals or Copy of Documents?
IMO, their is nothing original that is needed by the consulate for the I-129F packet.... USCIS does not routinely require originals. It is not the consulate's job to to re-adjudicate the petition. If something original was needed in the petition, the USCIS would have asked for it.
payxibkaMaleUkraine2009-08-05 07:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEmployment history
In the petition stage the USCIS is looking only at eligibility to "apply" for the visa at a future date... The eligibility for a Fiance(e) visa application consists primarily of both parties "free to marry" and have met "face to face" in the last two years.

Illegal work does NOT make an alien ineligible to APPLY for the said visa.

The USCIS routinely approves petitions for aliens who have had significant "illegal" presence (EWI, overstay) and other "technical" violations.

They defer these types of "issuance" ineligibilities to the consulate.

People get away with it because the burden falls on the United States to prove that the intent was not to be a tourist----a very hard thing to prove unless one goes into their office and says "Our intent was not to be a tourist"....Unless they fix that loophole, many a many people will be claiming touristic intents.


actually it is the other way around... the "intent" is ALWAYS presumed, and it is up to the applicant to prove otherwise if questioned...



Section 214(B ) is part of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). It states:

Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a nonimmigrant status...

Please, it is not illegal to enter the USA on a tourist visa and get married. Foreigners go to Hawaii and Las Vegas for destination weddings all the time.

What is not allowed is to use a non-immigrant visa/entry to circumvent immigration law. So coming to the USA on a non-immigrant visa with the intention to immigrate (aka ... stay and get greencard) is where the problem resides.

Thank a lot guys.

She does not need her passport in hand before you file for the petition. You do not need her passport for the petition but she will need it for the interview, sounds like you are OK for that. As for the English transliteration of her name...my wife does translations for Ukrainian and Russian fiancee visas, there are dozens of ways names are transliterated. The consulate in Kiev will accept any reasonable transliteration of her name on documents, do not worry about that. They will issue the visa in her name exactly as it is transliterated in her passport.

My wifes name is very simple...Alla. There is really only ONE way to transliterate it. But our sons had their names in no less three different spellings on various documents (Russian spelling, Ukrainian spelling and transliterated..such as Sergey, Sergei, Sergii for example) There were no problems with this at all. The US consulate in Kiev (and Moscow) are well aware of the "name game". Alla tries to make her translations consistent but it seems an impossible task sometimes. Don't worry about it though.


Thanks again guys you really help me a lot, now I have another question on my mind can she send me a digital photo for her passport and printed here in the US to send it with the fI-129F ?

No, you don't need to have a copy of her passport nor does she need the passport for you to submit the I-129f petition. She will need the passport for the second part of the process after your I-129f petition is approved and the application process moves to the US Consulate in the Ukraine. I don't know about the issue of the name translation, though. Surely her name on the passport would be the same that is on her birth certificate?


depends... BC could be in Russian and her passport will now be in Ukrainian... the English transliteration is different...
