K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDOS?
When an approval goes to the NVC/DOS that is not the consulate/embassy. However they all fall under the State Department

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance living in country that is not her "home country"
My Fiancee is in a country other than her "home country". She only needs a police certificate from her "home country" Other than that there is no problem with being in another country. As Gary and Alla said, as long as she is legal she will be fine. The one thing that we are dealing with now are the translation services. Your fiancee will have to have her paperwork translated into English. Her birth certificate and police report from Indonesia will need to be translated in China to English. Finding an official translator my prove a bit difficult.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 approval from USCIS
Congrats!

It could be any number of things. It could go through to the Embassy in a matter of days or it could take a couple weeks. You could go into additional processing (AP) which could take up to 50 or 60 days. I was in AP but it was only 11 days. There is no real way to know. At least you are free of USCIS. NVC you can actually call and get an update (of sorts). If you are in AP there is no real update. It is either still in AP or sent on. hope that helps!

Please fill your timeline and that will help people answer questions about your situation better!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFacebook Concern?
That's not "family based visa" related. Again don't worry about it!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFacebook Concern?
My facebook has no mention of my fiancee and I have not published a "relationship status" I don't share personal information on facebook at all. It's a way to keep close friends connected. I post pics and a few statements thats it. USCIS doesn't care about personal web pages unless they are questionable or illegal.

You would assume that they would look at the entire tax document. If not then when you make the copies use a highlighter to bring the earnings out. They would surely look at the areas that are colored on a black and white document. Just a suggestion.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPHOTO's RFE
Our pics didn't have digital dates on them either.
What was the resolution for the lack of digital dates?
Are they saying we have to physically go to the country of our finace(e) and retake pictures?
We were forwarded from TSC to CSC with a NOA1 date of March 7 2006.
Can you share with us at least what your NOA1 date is?
We'd like to know if you were before us or after us; I assume you were before March 7 2006.
Thanks for helping us understand what's going on with your case.

I submitted copies of boarding passes, passport pages with stamps, visa therein, registration in Moscow, along with pics (names, place, date on back), copies of emails, other evidences of ongoing relationship and meeting.

It is possible the USCIS, based on many unsavory things that are in the Government's eye, has implemented very recently guidelines to RFE if EVERYTHING is not exactly like they want it?
And there is not precise "how to" so how do those of us having NOA1s get this resolved?

Hi...I went to Bentinck mansions....I went to Bond street tube...( never been there before so the fact it turned into small shopping area suprised me) - then took oxford street exit.....turn left - not too far to debenhams - the street you need to be down is Marylebone Lane - walk down Marylebone street (right next to Debenhams) ....after a few mins you seem to encounter another very busy road but keep walking down and you end up on corner of Bentinck Street - ( the actual doctors is on that corner)...You might want to try a multi map search for 12-16 bentinck street ...W1u 2ER - the other one i dont know .... hope this helps...... :D



Thanks Truffles, I will head that way. I just found out the two locations are only a mile apart.

I'M, HAPPY FOR YOU, Congrats.

But I must admit I was seething a bit. My application was also approved on 2-14-07, and earlier today I was once again told that they had no record of my case. Chelseafan was approved on 2-15-07 and his case has been forwarded already.
After reading your good news I called and pressed 5 for an operator, he confirmed that our application was put in the system today.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK 1 Update
Today was another landmark day since arrival of the NOA2. Nvc replied by E-mail that our packet was on its way to london. Armed with the New case number we were able to schedule a medical appointment for March 2nd.

We have made highly ambitious plans to be married on April 5th. To that end we had spent the NOA2 waiting time gathering all required document, even practice completion of packet three forms. All packet four documents are ready.

Thank you VJ, and especially my November Filers.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPassport photos to take to K1 interview

Update:

I had my interview on Thursday and got approved :D

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who replied to my question about passport photos. In the end, I got extras done (just round the corner on Oxford Street, in a little photo place up 4 flights of stairs), but I wasn't asked for them as they had the original set I'd sent in attached to my forms. Getting them done was worth it though because I'm sure I'll use them at some point, and it was one less thing to have to worry about on the day of my interview.

I've booked my flight now and I'm really excited!!



COZCOZ?
Please can you tell me who you booked your flight with/through.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance Coming to US before K1 is Approved on Tourist Visa

We submitted our K1 Visa application back in January. My Fiance currently has a valid multiple entry tourist Visa for the US. Can she travel into the US before the K1 is approved? What would happen if I married her while she came on the tourist Visa with the K1 application still pending?

Thanks- appreciate all the responses!

:help:



First, I would like to welcome you to VJ
Second, you wont appreciate all the responses
3) Yes she can visit you in the USA while the K1 is pending.
4) The fact that you are asking the question re:marriage on a tourist visa, puts you at odds with USCIS, do not do it
5) do a search above, using words such as, tourist, marriage, etc

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUSCIS Case Status

How do we know when our package is received by NVC and sent off to the consulates?
Will we have the ability to access a status page sort of thing with the NVC like we did our I-129Fs with the USCIS?

Sorry, no status page at NVC like at USCIS.

NVC Info (to find out when your case arrives/leaves there and to get NVC Case number):
Call (603) 334-0700 - press "1" for English then "5" to speak to a rep on the phone. Be ready with USCIS case number, beneficiary name and birthdate. K1 visas are NOT entered into the automatic system. Reps are available 7:30 AM - 12 midnight Eastern time. Call right after they open or right before they close for best results - during the day lines are always busy.

Tracking your file via DHL from NVC to Embassy:

1. Go to http://www.dhl-usa.com/home/home.asp
2. Click on "Track"
3. Click on "Track by Reference"
4. A "Track it by reference" form will come up. Next to "Reference" type in "CORRESPONDENCE"
5. In the "Shipment pickup date range" put in the date the NVC said they mailed off your package.
6. In the box "Origin Postal Code" type in "03801"
7. Press on the red "Track" button
8. Several pages of results will come up. Look through the "Receiver's Name" for your Embassy. There might be several packages going to your embassy - but you won't know which one is yours. Anyway, most sent on the same day will arrive the same day. Press on the red "Tracking number" of any package going to your Embassy and up will come a page showing where it is now.


Aww thanks!! So when we call they will give us our NVC Case number? Or do we get that in the mail first and then provide that case # and the other information to get a status check?



If you give them YOUR USCIS number, they will give you the new case number.
In our case I used the new case number to check the stautus, to see if it had left the NVC yet. The automated system did NOT update even after a live operator told me that my package had been sent to london.

They do however respond to E-mail.

Your Fiance should soon receive packet 3, surmising that USCIS and the Embassy have her (the beneficiaries) address.

Worry not, the process will continue, assuming that the information is out there.

All the best to you.

Also start reading more of the regional forums and checking similar timelines.
