K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance Pregnant, Please help!	Thanks everyone for your well wishes, advice, and kind words. I have a follow up question. Looking at my cover letter. Do you guys think I sent TOO many Forms and supporting evidence? Should I be pro-active in submiting additional evidence of support, and Forms? Or will this clutter the file? Thank you all again, I will try to breath and get a foothold. ongoing evidence and i-134 are submitted to the consulate not uscis	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-01-08 09:51:00

I am considering an opportunity in Virginia which falls under VSC. If and when I decide move under another servicing center's jurisdiction, does my petition get transferred from CSC to VSC?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Translations Necessary for Ukrainian Documents for I-129F Petition?	OK, my petition for Ukrainian fiance is being processed at the Vermont Service Center. We sent copies of her birth certificate, marriage and divorce documents, police clearance, etc. that are in Russian language. We did not have these translated as our understanding was that it was not necessary for use in the US Embassy in Kiev. Any thoughts on this in regards to the VSC? I would appreciate your experience with this. Thanks ! VSC is not Kiev, far from it and you made a huge mistake	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-01-09 22:28:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Applied for Fiancee visa but don't have an intention to live in the US?	Hi all, I'd really appreciate your advice. We applied for Fiancee visa and everything goes fine - we just received NAO2. But our plans have changed a bit - my fiance got a job in Europe from May '12. What's great and I'm very happy about it. But what are we supposed to do now? When I get my visa can I go to the US, get married there, stay there for a month and then go back to Europe? It doesn't make sense for me to start the process of Adjustment of status, or? I just don't want to break any bureaucracy rules. Any idea what's correct to do in this kind of situation? Thanks a lot for your advice!! sure	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-01-14 09:45:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Do i really need the letter of intent?	The vast majority of people who fail to do so will receive an RFE or an outright denial. You have statistics on this? Several years ago their was much discussion on USCIS allowing unsigned letters of intent and g-325a's as long as they were completed at the consulate. I could dig this up for you if you want.	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-01-29 08:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previously married on k-3	Assalaamu Alaikum and hey everyone Well, my question is, I married in Tunisia in 2009 and brought my then husband over on a k-3 visa which was filed DCF. We have since been divorced . I have since met someone who I would like to bring over using the fiance visa. But can I do this if it has only been 2 years since using the k-3? Also He is Afghani but studying in Malaysia. Does this pose any additional difficulties? I will be going in April or August for one month depending on if I would be able to start the process then. He actually has his SIV (special invitation visa) approved up until the last step...but the NVC has basically told him it could be years to actually be accepted and receive it. He was eligable for it as he was a translator for the usa military in afghanistan, and Obama has dwindled the number of those visas issued to only 50 a year..so we are thinking to stop that and go along with the k-1 visa. Any advice would be sooo helpful. Thanking you in advace!! Zinny Are you sure it was K-3 filed DCF? K-3 petitions can only be submitted stateside. Petitions for IR1/CR1 visas could be submitted via DCF. Regardless, you are able to submit an I-129F for a fiancee visa.	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-01-31 06:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-129F Part C, question 3.	Today, I was prompted by question here re: and RFE for this question. I went over my form again and just noticed I didn't answer the question re: three or more conviction relating to controlled substance....and I have already mailed in application . I looked at the example form on this site and that form didn't have a yes or no option but the I-129F I have did and I totally overlooked it hundreds of times! Does anyone know if this will result in RFE? I am certain it will...but wanted to know if anyone had done the same. I'm so disappointed because I feel a RFE is imminent just for that. You may receive an RFE to answer the question, but it certainly is not imminent.	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-01-31 07:01:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-2 visa eligibility	Getting a visa for an adopted child is something else.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Employed or unemployed on DS-156	My fiancée has been unemployed since before we filed the I-129F and we listed her employment status as such on the petition. Since receiving the NOA2 she has done some freelance photography work as an independent contractor. The work is very sporadic at best. Would it be ok to list her "present occupation" on the DS-156 as unemployed? The intent here isn't to lie about anything but rather make sure it's right. either or, much ado about nothing. not pertinent to the visa.	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-02-05 08:54:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K2 to follow	His AOS will probably take about as long as yours. He will most likely NOT have an interview but that does not necessarily mean it will be faster. If he wants to work then apply for the EAD with the AOS, it is free, so why not? since the k-2's AOS is automatic once the K-1's AOS has been approved, the chance of an interview should be nil	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-02-12 17:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Refusal of Entry	Thank you everybody for all the thoughts and advice! It seems such a ridiculous arrangement, that they can't assess people and decide whether to allow them in or not at some earlier stage, and save everybody a lot of energy and costs and grief... Oh well! Do you not understand that facts and circumstances can change after visas are issued? Hmm, lets see.... I apply and am approved for my multi year multi entry visa and then I go to a terrorist training camp. Since I was previously approved, should I still be allowed to enter?	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-01-04 07:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Refusal of Entry	thank you for your kind explination... i am curious though.... if someone has a B-2 or a F-1, are they interviewed at the POE like this? ( B-2 and F-1 are very different entry categories and will be "treated" differently. In a nutshell, each entry category has its different entry "requirements", and all within the category are treated the same	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2011-12-26 10:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Refusal of Entry	I have NO personal experience with this, but just a thought in reply to the poster above. If the airline's main goal is getting the person out on the next available flight, and you're worried about being held (don't blame you there!), I would try and schedule a flight that arrives early in the morning. That way, if something happens, you hopefully would get immediately sent home since I'm sure many flights leave during the day with no stayover. Best of luck either way! unless they are oversold... and the way flights are now across the pond due to capacity reductions, it is more than likely	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2011-12-26 09:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Refusal of Entry	The account I read of the man who was handcuffed etc. was on another immigration forum similar to this one. He was also on the visa waiver program, like myself, but he was from the UK, and had recently become engaged. He told the truth but couldn't show enough ties. He said he was quite traumatised by the way he was treated. Apparently they transferred him to a county jail because there wasn't anywhere else to hold him, and he was in a cell with a bunch of convicted criminals, all his personal belongings including his ring and so forth were taken from him and only returned an hour before the flight, and he was only allowed two very short phone calls to his fiancee. I just wondered if that was a normal thing to happen! It seems a bit odd to me, if you hadn't committed a crime and you weren't resisting being returned home, why they'd even need to hold you anywhere. And if you have to pay for the flight back yourself, how do you make the arrangements and try to change your ticket or find a flight that isn't ridiculously expensive, if you're stuck in a cell and not allowed to use a telephone or the internet? I want to visit so very much, but I really want to know what I could be letting myself in for - the worst-case scenario I guess. Where else will they hold someone overnight once the POE closes? They cannot let him/her run a muck around into the airport. No need to find a flight, make travel arrangements or change a ticket. The deal is to get this person out on the next available flight. Period. No regard to price. The airline does this.	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2011-12-26 08:38:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	overstayed?	A ban is a ban is a ban. If he has been banned then they would not give him a visa of any kind. You say he has been allowed to apply for a visa again, so I assume they have given him one. If so, then no refusal on the K-1 for this reason Edited by payxibka, 21 February 2012 - 07:28 AM.	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-02-21 07:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Dallas lockbox or CSC	Hi... After putting the package together, I went to make sure I had the correct address and when i did a search for which address to send the I-129F to I used this link: http://www.visajourn...fter-july-30th/ it will be returned.. new mailing instructions went into place last year. If you are looking for definitive confirmation of what you are doing, the best place is the website of the organization (in this case the USCIS) not a search on another website that might accidentally return old information (nature of search engines) based on the first hit of your search criteria.	payxibka	Male	Ukraine	2012-02-12 10:45:00
