K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespayment for k1-visa

sorry for that..we just starting doing our papers..can you please explain whats the difference of I-129f and k1visa? thanks again :)


You need to do a lot of reading and you can start with reading the guides (top of any page) click on guides tab.

I-129F pritition is something the USC does first in order to prove that the alien fiance(e) is eligible to apply for the visa

The K-1 visa is the actual visa that is applied for by the alien fiance(e) at the consulate in there country of residence. You cannot apply for the visa until an eligibility petition has been submitted and approved for you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Waiver???

I am in the process of filing for a K1 visa. I had a visa approved last year for another person, but the relationship terminated not too long after filing. I petition is expired. I am filing for a K1 visa for a different person. The instructions says that since I filed for a K1 visa within two years that was approved, I must apply for a waiver. It doesn't mention how to apply for a waiver or where to apply. Where do I find waiver forms for a K1 visa and where do I file these forms?


no form... you simply write on a piece of paper the previous beneficiary info, facts and particulars as to what happened and close with I hereby request a waiver of the multiple filing limitation.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMinimum income requirements if in college?

Thank you.

So even if returning to college is the best, and most rational decision, and even if I own my house with no mortgage and have plenty of savings/assets it sounds like a "no-go."

If this is the case, is the "other way" (remember I am truly new to all this) getting married in Thailand an option that will allow me to do the college route? Or must I wait a year on college, and take a job (which I can get but which is out of my career path) to meet the income requirements.

My 2011 filing in April for 2010 will show a net income of over $50k, but 2011's income will, most likely show only unemployment benefits which I assume is not usable.

Let's use this as a scenario: Let's say that in September of this year I take a contract position that earns $60k/year (outside of my residential area) so immediately I'm back in the "financial capable" ballpark, but now...how long must I be in that job to meet the requirements.

note: If this sort of scenario is covered elsewhere I'll be happy to take a hint as to where to find it... again, thank you.


The financial requirement is there whether it is a fiance(e) visa or a spousal one... the one difference is a co sponsor... in a spousal visa the idea of a co sponsor might be a way to workaround BKK's normal refusal of such as NVC does accept co sponsors

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMinimum income requirements if in college?

It's very early in the process, so early that I haven't proposed (Valentine's Day is coming up), but still...

Reading on the K-1 requirements I see "minimum income" required at 125% of my state's poverty level, whatever that is for the state of NH--I haven't a clue.

I'm an RN and until mid-September I was a clinical supervisor for a major corporation so income was no issue.

The company I worked for closed my unit recently (forever) and now I'm unemployed. This is a perfect time for me to return to college on my career path so I have begun that process. Unless I find a good job (unlikely) in my area, I'm scheduled to return to college next January to become a Nurse Practitioner planning to graduate in Jan 2014. It is a two years Master's degree course and which will give me one of the top sale-able degrees in the country. I have no doubt that I'll have several offers before I graduate in 2014.

I have plenty of savings and about $26k income from an apartment house--but that's gross income, not net so I don't know if that would count. I'll be attending college at no tuition cost (under a grant available for my nursing sub-specialty) and may be receiving a small monthly stipend for some teaching duties.

Between now and then I'll receive unemployment compensation which will end when I start college. At that time I'll live on savings for the duration of the two years of college. Due to the sub-specialty nature of my nursing skills (occupational health) it is unlikely that I will find a job in my area since manufacturing has been totally trashed.

Now I am beginning to wonder if I must put off college and take an inappropriate (for my skill level) job simply to meet the income requirements until the K-1 process no longer requires that I earn a minimum amount.

In the next two months (assuming she says yes) I'll be engaged and during that time I must commit to this college degree--or not.

Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

She's from Thailand if that makes a difference and has no salary history as she works for her family.


The USC's requirement for a minimum income requirement is not based on where the fiance(e) is from. What will make a difference for you is that the Consulate in BKK will NOT allow anyone else to sponsor her other than you. If you are not eligible, no visa.

As for you apartment building income... it is NET after expenses... basically look to the amount on line 22 of the 1040 and how it would be calculated

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDocumentation for Minor

Thank you for all the info. In regards to the permission from other parent. My fiance was never married to her sons father. He basically is a dead beat dad that abandoned his son about 10 years ago. He has recently made contact with his son and communicates with him ocasionally by telephone. He never gave any financial support until recently as well. What he does offer is peanuts. To the best of our knowledge the father is living illegally in the US, but his whereabouts is unknown. We think Miami.
We can make an atempt to get permission from him, but I think it will be difficult. Is there any other option to show that my fiance has sole custody and that the father abandoned the son?


but yet he has made recent contact and has recently given some financial support... how was the money sent?

It is probably common sense that he disclose it, but since this is outside the timing requirements there is no required disclosure of anything previous per any rules.

Hi everyone!
I am here to ask you all if somebody can help with this doubt.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan you decline your medical exam (vaccination shots)?

I don't know, their profile doesn't say, but you didn't state you were talking country specific and your statement could be confusing for other people. Like I said, it might not be a requirement for the visa itself, but the OP's country might require it (like mine does).


If you actually took the time to read the OP's profile and timeline you would have discovered they are Manila... but I guess it is easier not to take the time
payxibkaMaleUkraine2011-01-25 22:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan you decline your medical exam (vaccination shots)?

A K1 visa might not require it but certain countries do, just like some countries require tax returns for the I-134 when they aren't actually a requirement of the form. To get the K1 visa, Australia requires you to have your immunisations up to date (except if you're pregnant already of course), Australia does not require tax returns for the I-134.


I answered specifically to the OP's situation. Is the OP from one of those countries?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if you can decline your vaccination shots? My fiancee and I decided to try to make a family once she gets here. I hear that we need to wait 3 months if she gets a certain shots. Please let me know.

Thanks


Did you know that a K-1 does NOT technically have any vaccination requirements?

or

Since you have known about this for some time, why did your fiancee get vaccinated a month or two ago?

I bet she is a month or three yet from being here... just get it done...

Distance means so little when someone means a lot to you and we will do our very best to do what we can just to be with each other and to be as one. He'll come visit me on Feb and we will start the K1 process when he goes back home. Although I have a little concern which I am worried. Part of the requirements of a K1 visa is that "at least you and your fiance/e have known each other for 2 years" What if not? What happen if I don't meet that requirement? Is it REALLY required? How many of you here have processed the petition even if you and your fiance/e have not been together for as long as 2 years?

I understood that hence why i wrote what I wrote, but the question wasn't regarding the re-entering the US, It was purely the Jamaica question I was unsure about. I'm sorry that I needed to ask the question. Its my first time at this.


The K-1 is a fiance(e) visa.... The alien needs to enter the USA on that visa as a fiance(e) NOT a spouse... If you want to marry and have your spouse enter as a spouse then you need an immediate relative (IR/CR1) visa which cannot be petitioned for until after the person becomes your immediate relative

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWedding in Caribbean

A K-1 visa is a single entry visa. Once your fiance enters the U.S. with the K-1, she cannot leave for any reason without either a green card or advance parole, neither of which she can apply for until the marriage is done. And when she makes that single entry, both of you must be unmarried. So there is no way to marry outside of the U.S., either before or after her entry. You can have a wedding party anywhere you want before her entry; just make sure an official marriage is not part of the party.


Just to clarify, the K-1 can leave for any reason at any time... it is the re-entry after the departure that is the problem without AP or status adjustment...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExtended US & International travel while awaiting K1

I was wondering what the rules are for travelling during the K1 processing time.

I don't mean just a weekend here or there but going to stay for 30 - 90 days (or however long is legally allowable) in Japan and/or US to be with my fiance while we wait. I would travel back for any appointments of course. We have just applied for my K1 visa so we are in the early stages and don't expect to hear anything back for 5-6 months as per the VSC processing times and really want to spend as much time together as possible.
Being away that long would mean giving up my apartment but will still have a permanent address here and leaving my job which I was going to be doing before the end of the year to move when the K1 is processed anyhow. I just don't want anything to jeopardize the K1 process or any border crossing issues.

Any links to or info you could provide would be very much appreciated. Thx

Would it be beneficial for us to change the interview location to Brazil instead of London?
