US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Medical in Vancouver Tomorrow	Hi, my fiancé has his medical in Vancouver tomorrow, and I have a question. I have been searching the forum for the answer, but can't seem to find a consistent one. He has: -Immunization records -Passport photos -Passport I've read that he needs an appointment letter? Is this required? What is this? I'm beginning to get confused with all of the paperwork I have been doing... Any help would be appreciated! Thanks	MichelleMcK	Female	Canada	2008-07-23 00:36:00

Canada	How did you get by w/o working?	So I need some advice from everyone who has gone through with the K1 Visa: When the foreign fiance(e) moved to the USA, how did they manage to support themselves? Because I am basically assuming that my fiance is not going to get an EAD when he crosses the border on his K-1. I am only a University Student with a part-time job, and cannot support him.

Canada	Co-Sponsor Question	QUOTE (Caladan @ Dec 14 2007, 12:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmm. You could work and go to school part-time, but the problem with that is that immigration can take so long that you'd be putting your education on hold in a way that wasn't predictable. It took us over a year from K-1 filing to green card in hand, and we had a very easy journey. Personally, that wouldn't be something I'd be comfortable doing. What does he do? Could he find work in your area and get a work visa to come down? You have a few separate problems here: 1) How to get through the immigration hoops that require you to show an income. 2) How to survive the first few months until he can find work. The two problems can have separate solutions. You can solve 2) through a combination of savings, housing arrangments, budgeting, etc. And 1) could be solved with a co-sponsor if you get one. I would start by reading the FAQs here, and learning as much about the affadavit of support as you can, because people aren't always clear what it means. Would you consider moving to Canada? You could finish your education up there, maybe? Yes, he has an education and a lot of work experience, so him working is not a problem... and we should be able to get by on my student loans, part time job, living with my parents, and his savings. I just need to prove to immigration that I can do it, and I can't because I don't make enough. I'm talking with my parents more about it... and my dad seems very understanding, but he isn't completely sure. And I have already been living in canada for 8 months, and I miss home too much. We have decided that we both want to live in the states.	MichelleMcK	Female	Canada	2007-12-14 13:06:00
Canada	Co-Sponsor Question	QUOTE (thermophile @ Dec 14 2007, 11:56 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it sounds like they might be trying to protect you (I'm not saying that you need protection, just that's what they may be trying to do). My parents weren't overly fond of my husband the first time they met him-which I think is fairly common. Parents and sibs always think that you are being foolish, in pretty much any circumstance. Now they've gotten to know the hubby, they of course love him but it takes time. Can your boy come visit you for Chirstmas, spending time with your fam? Well, I have been living with him for about 8 months now, and I am going to be moving home and starting school again (I took a semester off to be with him). He will be helping me move home on Christmas day, and will be seeing my family then, but that is only one day... They just haven't had time to get to know him. The thing is, I decided to move home because I don't like being away from family, but they are making me almost regret my decision. It would be so much easier to immigrate to Canada.

Canada	Co-Sponsor Question	QUOTE (Caladan @ Dec 14 2007, 10:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How close are you to finishing your degree and landing a job? I ask because the I-134, which you'd need for the visa, are *not* legally binding. They're an administrative requirement that the consulate uses to assess whether you'll be able to adjust status successfully. As it turned out, we didn't need it, but my dad was willing to co-sponsor for the I-134 but not for the green card (which is legally binding.) And in that time I landed a second job that made it certain I wouldn't need a sponsor. Well, I have 2.5 years left... so landing a good job isn't really an option for me	MichelleMcK	Female	Canada	2007-12-14 12:13:00

I spoke with my sister about it, and she said that she has talked to my mom a little bit about it. They both want to make sure that I'm not doing this for the 'wrong' reasons. They want to know that I'm doing this for love and not just to get my fiance into the country.... ugh.

My fiance's parents and grandparents would sponsor him in a second... I found this on the USCIS website, it makes me think that I'm not crazy? "If the sponsor is in the United States, the affidavit may be sworn to or affirmed before an immigration officer (see any USCIS District or sub-office) or before a notary public or other official authorized to administer oaths for general purposes. If the sponsor is outside the United States, the affidavit must be sworn to or affirmed before a U.S. consular or immigration officer." Or is that just talking about me??

California Service Center or the Vermont Service Center, depending on your last place of residence in the U.S. (see above for filing location). You are filing a K-3 petition for your spouse. The Service Center where the underlying I-130 petition is currently pending. Use the address listed on your most recent receipt notice or transfer notice and include a copy of that notice with your Form I-129F. 2. A K1 visa from Vancouver takes one year to process. From Montreal, about 6 months. Most clients choose the faster route. That was certainly your decision however I am not sure what "incorrect information" you were given that you refer to in your email. I do, however, appreciate your confidence in my ability. I am sure that it is easy to forget that I process over 1700 K visas per year - for a living. Thanks and have a great day!
