Russia, Ukraine and Belaruspre aos question

once we are married do we have to file for aos within the k1 visas 90 days.....or does the marriage give us an extension?...i hope this made sense.



Hello...its best to file AOS before her medical exam expired..as some said its only valid for a year. she will only need to complete her vaccination record and fee of 1,010 usd for AOS filing. I am the in the same situation with you guyz...been here 9 mos now. I and my fiancee got married within the 90 day period of my k1 visa. Right now, we are doing our best to submit the AOS before my medical expires...Wish u both good luck!!!

Hi Kabayan,

I believe you can renew your passport even its still early. You might like to do it in Philippines when you get home. Anyway, I got this website for you www.philippineconsulatela.org/.../conserv-ppt.htm Just try to explore and maybe u can also try sending them email about your concern...Good luck and happy homecoming!

PhilippinesHelp! I need a step-by-step guide on filing AOS (k1)
Hello Konkris...im sure you and your wife can just do it by yourselves..visa journey website and uscis is an excelent source of information. The more you read the more you learn...I am preparing my documents now for AOS..all the forms and instruction are available in USCIS or visa journey website. Instead of paying your lawyer for 1500 better use it for AOS fee which is 1,010usd.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding criminal record
Hi me too had the same probem...my fiancee had a criminal record but not same as yours. He provided me a copy on his case and we also discuss about it. During my interview, it did come up and the consulate asked me about the case and I said "Yes, i know all about my fiancee's case and its been 10 years ago. I do believe that he had changed a lot now." In the end, i pass the interview and got the visa.. Just make sure ur filipina fiancee is well informed so she knows what to answer during interview...Dont give up...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAnother medical exam?
Hi there..I just had my AOS mailed yesterday. regarding the medical, your wife need to go to Civil Surgeon and have them complete the I-693 form. It would be nice if she have a copy of her medical and the vaccination record, just show it to the CS and they will just transfer the data to I-693. They will then give you a sealed envelope of her I-693 form for USCIS. I had the same experience with your wife, i was not given any copy of my medical. When I arrived at my port of entry I handed the brown envelope which has all my information and medical result to immigration officer. Fortunately, the receipt i had has the email add of the Physician, i just send him an email and then he send me a simple copy of my medical result. Then I brought it to the CS and my vaccination record. It went fine.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiance birth certificate

thanks for the info!

i'm glad to see replies from couples with a partner from the philippines :)

when she applied for her passport previously, they accepted a certified true copy of her birth certificate from the local civil registry that's why she didn't have any problems then.

but now she's trying to get a copy from NSO but she's having a difficult time.

what is CENOMAR? it's the first time i heard that.


Hi, I am from Philippines and now in USA for almost a year now. Just simply request ur fiancee's bc and cenomar thru nso website,its very easy..once she filled the request form and have the confirmation, she will then go to the bank and pay for the bc and cenomar request...CENOMAR means Certificate of No Marriage...I also obtain same documents for k1 visa.
