I just used the K-1 guide here on VJ including the assembly guide and we breezed right through the process so unless there is some sort of complex issue I see no reason for hiring an attorney. It was the same for the AOS also, we just followed the guide and in five months Claudeth had her green card.

Good luck :thumbs:


With no complications you maybe don't need any lawyer

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat is best, to have a lawyer or not with the K-1 Visa??

I used an attorney and it was the best decision I made. I sent him all of the information, he made out the forms and submitted everything to the California Service center. It took only 60 days and I was approved and received my NOA2. I was given back everything he sent in, along with a letter to the US embassy in Manila stating "this is the information used to apply for the NOA2 approval notice". My fiancee will give this information along with the information asked for in her interview package to the interviewer on February 13th, (day before Valentine's Day.).
I suppose this is one advantage of using an attorney, along with the idea that I never worried about if I had sent the right forms, if I had submitted enough or all of the information needed or whether I would receive any RFE's. (I never received any.) By the way, I filed for the I-129F visa.



I have this feeling.
If you pay for this attorney you can lean back sign under and be secure

save your money and use it on a nice trip to spend with your baby, i wasted a $1000.00 hiring one and all she did was send me the i-129 forms to fill out. later i found this site and this is your best attorney right here, all the info you need and then some. it helped me out so much here i schooled my attorney on allot of things that she had no clue.


Ok We have already paid for rest of the case.
So no regrets we can have.
But anyway we feel secure now
Yes I saw this VJ website one and a half year later as we started this visajourney.
But it still gives us alot of great hints and we love to follow it everyday

In my opinion unless your case is complicated or there are some issues that you feel may work against your case then an attorney could be a good idea...otherwise just a lot of patience and common sense is all that you will need to get thru the process on your own. We did both parts by ourselves and with great results...But as they say no two cases are alike...Good luck with your process and any decison that you will make...

Hi Dorothy.
Yes and I can tell you that we never think about those money.
We just want it to go through.
Mike should give me a visit in denmark this christmas, but we decided to pay lawyer instead and can maybe be together very soon.
Our deadline is as known within the next 5 or 6 weeks were the case will be completed. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat is best, to have a lawyer or not with the K-1 Visa??

my_destiny,

Depends on the specific details of your situation and how much work you are willing to put in to learn what you need to know.

Have a consultation with an immigration attorney to review your situation, ask questions, and get some tips. Then, based on the information that you have gotten, decide whether you want to go forward on your own or hire the attorney to work for you.

Yodrak

Please, tell me your opinions what is best to hire a lawyer or do it yourself. We have a lawyer in our K-1 visa but Im thinking if we should still hire a lawyer when filling for Adjustment of Status once at the US already.

I appreciate all your comments and suggestions.



Yes it really depends about alot.
Our I-129F went smoothly and guess we could be without help back this time
It first show up after the interview all the complications.
In fact our lawyer haven't been expensive.
He wanted $1000 from start and we could contact him whenever we want which lastet a year.
Since I wasn't approved at the interview we had to go further and couldn't be without him and should pay $1500 to continue.
It's alot of money I know.
It's 3 weeks ago I found VJ as a coinsidence.
So very unsecure we have been from the start.
We started June 22 2005.
I have a minor son that are included too.

I also now are in doubt if we need a lawyer when we shall do this adjustment of status.

Thank you very much for your responses.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat is best, to have a lawyer or not with the K-1 Visa??

I felt that hiring for a legal counsel is a personal preference and a question of comfort level in going through the documentations and time spent on the subject K-1. I think that if one can follow simple instructions and research through someone else's priceless journey, it will be worth putting your best effort and then again save some $$$. Indeed this web site has so much informations, and it is the moral support such as the virtue of waiting and patience that help the waiters on USCIS queing line.
Again, if time is an issue of doing the paperworks and personal comfort level will be better with a lawyer then go for it, but I can tell you that you can do it yourself with all the help you can get from this site. Good luck. Maligayang Pasko.



I really agree with you that this VJ is a very good support.
And with no complications you can easily do it yourself

In our case it started very normal, but went out to be with alot of complications that we didn't know we should get.
That's the reason we are so happy we hired a lawyer.
So every case is very individuel and hard to say if you need professionel help

Thank you for wishing us good luck

Immigration is the biggest step I could ever take in my intire life and no place for mistakes.

After my opinion this case is so importent, that it have to be supported by a lawyer.
I do compare it to a courtcase where the decision is in others hands.

I wanna win this case and be together with the love of my life.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOpinions on attorneys
We didn't knew that we would have any complications. Since we have we are happy that we hired an attorney from the start.
I will say letters between him and us really delay things.
But we feel more secure having him because he knows what to do and we can lean back and are not worry about filling out papers incorrect.
And also he knows your special situation all the way and can help alot to the end of this immigration.
I would never dare to be without an attorney in this importent step you take in your life.
Just my opinion.

Well, you should enjoy San Diego in March. Welcome to America.

The custom forms are really pretty simple as long as you aren't trying to sneak in contraband. I know you wouldn't risk that. The biggest problem that I've seen for people is having something to write with. Don't forget a pen.

Best of luck.



hahahaha I really like this with the pen LOL

Yes Mike told me that San Diego is beatyful in springtime.
I have never been there in springtime.

Hi Anette,

congratulations on your visa! Safe trip on Wednesday! That's tomorrow! Wow!

I'd say you don't need to worry about forms. If you were going on VWP earlier you would have filled in light green form (correct colour Amber) - this time you will obviously not use that one.

Flight attendants are usually nice and will give you the right coloured one :) once you tell them you are actually migrating. And I think all forms would have general details to fill in anyway, you won't have any problems filling whatever form is needed... so try not to stress over remembering in advance what questions you might be answering. Relax and enjoy your reunion. You lucky girl :)

PS
I'm saying all this to myself as well... hope to follow in your footsteps soon :)


Hi ausqueen

Thank you very much for your response to me.
Yes I know that I do concern alot about details now. LOL
After all this waiting time it's almost unbelievable that everything is going smoothly now.

You will have to fill out the blue customs form as well as the white 1-94 form. On your other trips you would have filled out the light green (I think the color is correct) visa waiver form. You don't have to fill out the visa waiver form since you have a visa. Good luck on your trip :)


It's a long time ago I went to US so I now have forgotten what the questions is on this blue custom one.

Hi from the Philippines. Can my fiance starts to petition me even before meeting in person? We just talk on the phone everyday, my friends, family know him in person, but I havent met him yet, he plans to come soon in my country and we wonder if he can file for K1 fiancee visa before we meet in person so when he comes here and leaves for US, he can bring me with him?

Thanks a lot!


Dear asianbeaty.

I understand your question very well and ofcause your bf can start applying.

But there are alot of reasons to meet in person and know eachother better and know eachothers past.
Not only for the evidence to prove your relationship.
But maybe there are something in your past you have to prove for the american goverment.

I can tell about my own situation.
I am 48 years old and met my husband online for 4 years ago.
We were very much in love and decided to go this way as we do now.
We met 5 times real life before we applied for a K-1 visa.
A thing we didn't knew was that I had to show my 15 years old conviction and thanks god I did tell my fiance about this, but we didn't mention this before the interview.
It did gave us another 1 year to wait because I should go through an extra hoop to get the visa.
I am so happy that even before any decisions of marriage I told my husband about my past.
It didn't came to him as a surprise and he still wanted to continue our relationship.

Just to let you know that you have to be very honest with eachother before any big surprises that can ruin your relationship.
Meet him for god sakes and be prepared of what you can do if any problems with the past.

Love Anette

I have little problem because I came here to US in May and my k-1 status is going to be over soon. We cant marry unfortunately now, we need some more time. It's not because we dont love each other but some family problems. What should we do? Overstay visa or come back home. Which is better in our case. Can we apply for the second time for k-1 visa? Please help us.

Now we don't know about the famely problems. But if you love eachother why ruin your big chance for staying together and maybe things are solved by time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGoing Back to Denmark Question

Because I'm that bored... :devil:


How long can you stay?
A visa allows you to stay a maximum of 90 days per 6 months in Denmark. A visa generally gives access to the entire Schengen region, i.e. Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Germany and Austria.

A foreign national from a country where a visa is not a requirement can also stay in the Schengen region for a maximum of 90 days per 6 months. Both the entire day of the date of entry and the entire day of the date of exit are included in the number of days spent in the Schengen region - regardless of the time of day the entry or exit took place.

The six-month period is calculated from the date of 'first entry' into the Schengen region, i.e., the date on which the foreign national first enters the region, or the date of any other subsequent entry into the Schengen region which takes place after the expiration of a six-month period


Example of 'first entry':
If a foreign national arrives for the first time in Denmark (or another Schengen country) on 1 February 2007, he or she can stay in Denmark (or another Schengen country) for a period of three months within the six-month period which ends on 31 July 2007.

If he or she returns again on 1 October 2007 – i.e. more than six months after his or her very first entry into the Schengen region – this date will constitute a new 'first entry'. Therefore, 1 October 2007 constitutes the beginning a new six-month period, during which time the foreign national can stay in the country for a period of up to three months.

If the foreign national arrives again on 1 June 2008, it will be this date which constitutes the next date of 'first entry', and so on.

Yes Devilette is right. So you should be able to go back again in october. :D
It's not so easy with Denmark nolonger. I would have a hard time if I should bring my husband to my country instead of me staying in US

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiancee work concern

this is kind of a strange question but it has been on my mind.has anyone come across a problem with their fiancee work when applying for a k1 visa? i ask cuz my fiance has what some may consider a questionable job.she is an internet cam model for an adult website.it is all perfectly legal from what i understand i was just wondering if they may see this as some kind of red flag in the process?thanks :unsure:


I was stuck in background checks before my K-1 visa interview in about 3 month because of my Hi-tech electronic job for about 30 years.
They told our lawyer that my job needed an extended check and had to contact my 3 different work places for more informations.
It affected my I-129F petition indeed with so much more waiting time and I was scared to dead :o .
I would never believe this could happen, but all of a sudden I was afraid they would look at me as a possible terrorist.
At least I was approved and they didn't talk about this at all on my K-1 interview.

I think it was a very good and interesting question dbs78 :thumbs:

QUOTE (John & Alla @ Sep 14 2007, 12:04 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My fiancee has two children, one is 19 and the other is 21; both are working in the USA but do not want to be included in the visa because they want to return to Russia after they complete their work assignments. My fiancee is from Russia and will will be processed in Vermont and in Moscow, Russia.

Other complication; they have overstayed their work visas; I would guess they are now here illegally.

MY question; if the children will not be part of the visa do they need to be included on the K1 Visa. Can we just not list them as part of the K1 visa applications


I do not know anything about illegally things.

Seven months! If it all goes well... you might be almost nearing your interview by then.
Other than tax stuff - his ORIGINAL docs - birth cert, divorce papers (if) + work related, like a letter from his current employer, bank letter as for accounts held etc. + evidence of ongoing relationship like phone bills or internet communication records (if he is leaving stuff on comp here) + your photos, receipts of travels, hotels etc.

I'm thinking all this in case you get interview while he is there with you, so he has all that... oh well... at least some ideas thrown your way. smile.gif

Enjoy your time back home and good luck with the process. Hope USCIS timing will be on your side!

ausqueen



He's actually quitting his job to come with me.. hopefully this won't matter as we're getting his mum to co-sponsor?? He needs a letter from his bank saying what money he has?

Thanks for your help.. can't wait to go back! It's been 2.5 years!


Don't hang me up on it. But for me it dosn't seems as a good thing if he is quitting his job in a middle of an application of a visa case. But I don't understand all the rules



I don't know.. maybe it's not the best plan, but we want to stay together. We've spent far too much time apart already. He'll be working in Australia.. I hope this is okay.. anyone else know!?


Now it's a couple of years ago I went to my K1 visa interview in my homecountry.
And I remember them being only interested in my husbands economy to support me, and how strong ties he had to not leave US to live in my country.
I would say that if he left USA for 7 month they would easy believe that he didn't had any ties and could move to me instead

QUOTE (RosemarieL @ Nov 22 2007, 12:56 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
The Visa Waiver program is for visits and using it for too many long visits would be frowned upon. You are expected to spend more time in your home country than in the US (eg. more than 6 months out of every 12) . When visiting it is best to have a return ticket and bring proof of ties to your home country (eg. tenancy/mortgate agreement, employers letter etc.). Even with this it is still possible to be turned away by immigration if they have any doubts about the purpose of the visit.


Ok my friend is a person I just met from a danish forum and he just moved from Denmark to USA like he could stay on his VWP passport. I am in chok and would like to give him some advises. He thought he could stay and apply for a visa while he stays. I told him to go back to denmark and apply for a visa.

I can only tell you that my birthcertifate should be translated by a proffesionel translater fluent in english and danish which is my language.
It was not enough to let our lawyer doing this

What I experience in my own case is that the decision was a denial but not a denial to not let you continue your case if you could obtain better papers. I don't say yours is a denial. But I guess that they need more from you and that you maybe have to start over. That's what happend to me. But not nesserary the same for you. Just relaxe and await their letter honey.
Everything will be fine.

Did you actually called the number I gave you?

Laura,

please, don't get all worked up before you know the details of their decision.....be strong and keep the faith.

If the RFE was all about legible copies of a birth cert and final divorce papers there's no valid reason for a denial!
The only reason I can think of is that they didn't receive what they were asking for,and then they would send another RFE,as far as I know....


Many hugs for you, and try to keep calm,ok? Keep us informed, we'll be there for you!

~Rahela


Yes I agree with flyguy. Just wait for the letter to show up and see what they are telling you to do good.gif

Hi Laura and Ken

I am the wife and my husband is the USC. I am so very sorry for my short message to you without any explanation.

We started applying for a K-1 visa and couldn't obtain my original devorce paper because they had lost me in the system in denmark when they went from manual archieve to computer archieve. It was very unlucky for us.
I had this message online that they had made a decision on my case like yours.
Ok the decision was a denial but they told me that I could start over the case if I could get the prove or another statement that I was divorced.
I payed the divorce office to make that statement and our case could start again. This gave us an extra 4 month of waiting.

I then came to USA and applied for a workpermit together with the adjustment of status. Our lawyer messed it up because he did put a wrong code into the workpermit form.
That was the second denial and the message online was we have made a decision.

That ment that we could start over with the workpermit. We did and before we knew I had my greencard in hand and they stopped the workpermit proces.

So everything is fine now.

I am very sure that your situation is to be changed like mine. I really hope you will get their letter soon.
If you wanna hear the decision you should call customer service on 1-800-375-5283.
You are very welcome to type to me again with more question.

Best luck to both of you.

He can apply for green card lottary.


Yes, thank you. He did that last year and he's doing it this year too.


I was denied entry when I tried to enter the 4th time within 1 year. The officer told me that a tourist visa wouldn't be worth since I had intentions and I was in there system now.
Also he mentioned that a tourist visa is the same processing time.
