K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStudying on K1 visa
each state and each school is slightly different. you need to get in contact with the school you want to go to... they deal with this daily... they will tell you eligibility (based on there rules), and whether you will pay in state or out of state tuition... The USCIS will not be your primary concern.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat should we do if the birth certificate of the petitioner is since 1975?

According to the health department where i received my birth cert. in Washington state I was told a lot of government places will not accept a birth cert. that is 3 years old or older FYI


I have the same BC that I have had for fifty years... You don't need to get a new one unless you are somehow "born again".

To the OP:

The county is responsible for birth and death records and they are open for business during this state shutdown...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioning for Romanian fiance residing in Italy.

Like the OP said its required by Italy, I'm guessing that Romania is not a EU country, and so she does not have an EU passport.

But its the US embassy that decides whether she is legal enough to interview there, not Italian rules on whether she has to return once in a while.


true NVC will decide... but based on the limited facts... she ain't qualified to interview in Italy. The DOS does not allow people to consulate shop. (I don't like Franfurt, and I heard Paris is a pushover, so I go visit France as a tourist and try to apply there). That is why residency is needed and not simply tourist status.

OP come back and let us know when your petition has been approved and NVC assigns the consulate

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioning for Romanian fiance residing in Italy.

Only thing not all embassies require legal residency, such as Cyprus. The thing is the EU countries these days allow residents of other European countries to work and reside there. So they are there legally.


If she was there "legally" to live an work, then why does she need to return "home" every 3 months?

The go home every three months is a sign of temporary status and not residency....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioning for Romanian fiance residing in Italy.

She is a legal resident as a tourist right now, she has to go back to her home in Romania every 3 months, as required by Italian law, since she doesn't have her certificato di residenza. But she is a member of the EU, so this is ok. She does have a physical address in Italy. So she can go to naples for the interview and exam?

tourist status does not make one a legal resident...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioning for Romanian fiance residing in Italy.

1. I am an active duty soldier stationed in Italy. My fiance is a Romanian citizen residing in Italy. We live in the same city, and see each other every day. I am petitioning for her K1 visa. Can we go to Napoli to get the medical exams and do her interview, since it is closest to where she resides, or does we need to go to Bucarest?

2. On which form, and to which address will USCIS be sending me my receipt? I put my APO address in PART C, Question #1, of form I-129F, and my home address in the states in Part A, Question #2. At which address will USCIS be corresponding with me? To which address will they be corresponding with her? She doesn't have a mailing address in Italy, but receives packages through my APO address.

3. Does anyone have any experience with this?


consulate that has jurisdiction over the alien's current legal residency.

uscis won't correspond with her. does she have a physical address in italy so naples can contact her?

To ALL of YOU (again) who bothered to reply, MANY THANKS!

I think this is what we're going to do (to be safe). Send her all the ORIGINALS but submit only the xerox copies so we can keep the originals for the future, just in case we need them again. And my fiancee is based in Quezon City. I'll check the johnnyair website and see if they can help me. Thanks so much for that info.

But I believe Jim is right. I answered my own question and still confused about it. But because we don't want any problem during her interview, I would take the risk and send the originals to be on the safe side.

Again, sorry if i have caused confusion to others in the forum. My apologies. Didn't mean to confuse anyone. I just needed answers. And Thanks a lot again!


Losing control of an certified copy of your birth certificate and sending it overseas is identity theft waiting to happen... I would not do it. Period.

My fiancee mentioned that she needs my ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND DIVORCE DECREE for her Manila Embassy interview. My question is, would a certified/notarized True Copies of the documents mentioned would suffice? Will she be denied an interview or visa if she just presents notarized copies? Or I really need to trust FedEx and pray they won't lose my docs in transit to Manila. I am afraid that If i send the orig docs that we may never see them again. Posted Image

Please tell me what you think. Thanks in advance!

K-1 visas are valid for 6 months from date of issuance. In rare cases, an Embassy has extended the validity beyond the 6 month deadline, but that is rare.

with certain exception... it can be shorter

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow do I know where my 129F was sent to be processed

Hi everyone. Today my USC fiancee asked me if I knew where the K1 petition was actually sent. I told told her that since she lives in Nevada, I assume that it was sent to the CSC to be processed. I assume this because originally, well before the Dallas lockbox was invented, our application would have had to be sent to the CSC to be processed. Am I correct??

Thanks.

PS: We have found this website to be an invaluable tool. We have only been waiting for just over a week since the NOA1, but love looking at the forums and seeing other peoples experiences. We just hope others keep updating their timelines so that we may get a better indication of the timing of the visa process. VJ tell me around the end of October 2011 we should get our NOA2. I am hoping so. We NEED this to hurry up


The NOA1 case number will tell you where the file is... if it starts with EAC it is Vermont, WAC is California

After my fiancée comes to the US on her K-1, and AFTER we are married, will she be able to travel outside of the US without restrictions?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAssuming visa denial

A Lease is the Same as Renting. A Lease is a Legal Document that specifies a Time period between The tenant and Owner/Landlord for the Period on the Lease/Contract between the 2 parties involved in the Contract/Lease Agreement.
This Post is surely 2 parties sharing rent. Maybe the petioner never stated to the Owner of the Dwelling that he has a Roomate. That will not matter.
If the Petitioner had a Rent to Own Clause that might be different but see No indication of that. Or any indication of IRS documentation that the Income was Taxed.
Please Add


you do not have to be the owner of property to create a rental income situation... You do not have to have a formal lease agreement to create a rental income situation. The issue here is that most people will ignore the rental income received from a rented room though technically rental income.
payxibkaMaleUkraine2011-07-16 12:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAssuming visa denial

I would would think NO. Being the Homeowner Versus Renting are 2 different things. There is Nothin to write-off if they both rent and Share exspences. Rent Payments are paid by Net Income. The Petitioner would have to Own the Residence and show proof as Income . Having a Roomate and does not Own the Dwelling is Not Countable for anything except a Dosmile, place to to live. The Rent payment being paid is not acceptable as far as Income. We all need a place to live. There would be no added Income for this is what I think.


the irs just might disagree... have you ever heard of a sub-lease? in essence this is what it could be
