K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsthis is unfair
if you look at your timeline it says that your case may be adjudicated as early as April 4, I hope it is sooner but that number is based on the averages calculated from the timelines that have been posted here on VJ and are much more accurate than the customer service stated date.

Middle East and North AfricaEgyptian said to be a hero in VA tech killings
This is a very sad story, students should feel safe in the united states .. of all places .. but when teachers make reports that they are scared for their lives when a specific student is mentioned and the school doesn't do anything about it .. it makes me wonder if the school is more worried about getting that students tuition or the safety of the students ..

Middle East and North AfricaWhich I-864 to use?
I used the I-864EZ and it was just that, easy. The conditions you need to meet to use this form are IF:

All three of the following are true:
  • You filed a Form I-130 petition, for your relative
  • There is only one applicant on the Form I-130 petition, and
  • All your qualifying income comes from a salary or pension and shows on one or more W-2 Forms that you receive

If you need more information on which form to file, you can look here: Which 864 to use?


Good luck in your journey!

What you have listed is just fine. No need to delay filing. When you go back and read those I-130 instructions again, consider anything you read following the words, "In addition to the required...." as simply, "NOT REQUIRED".

Concentrate, then on building the relationship and continue gathering evidence of communication and future visits, as all that will be needed at the Consulate stage, not with the petition.




Thanks, I needed that! Posted Image

The advice Darnell gives here about not getting over analytical on some things is very good. :thumbs:


No more worries. I just do what I gotta do. I see your timeline/footnote. Congratulations and good luck to both of you in the future. :)

So far for me, your narrative truly hits home with me and indeed I identify with every facet of your journey. This is partly why I love this forum and over the years, I have read (from afar) many people's stories and I have learned a great deal from them as a result. I have found that 99% of the postings here to be both inspirational and beneficial.

As for the other 1%? Let's just say that not every suggestion or tidbit of advice is applicable or feasible. Of course, hiring a lawyer and moving to our spouse's country helps our case! But is this really an option for ALL OF US? I mean really?

If you meet a multi-millionaire and you ask him how he acquired his riches and he says, "Well, I simply bought Bowflex stock in the mid-1990s when it was selling for 7 cents a share on the Toronto Exchange and I sold my stock when it peaked out at $45.00 a share (after several splits) on the New York Stock Exchange. Of course, this is a great story to hear but seriously, just how REALISTIC is it to just tell others to just DO THE SAME?

I hope that it not inappropriate to create a hypothetical (albeit valuable example to serve as a case study) scenario here to see what would be a reccommended course of action as there are elements that mirror our stories. Why use a hypotherical example? For the sake of privacy and to not be invasive of anyone's real privacy. In true stories that became movies (Raging Bull, Rudy, etc...) they always use dramatic license as it can help create a stronger case to serve as an example.
Who cares that t

I stopped myself right here. I began going on and on and in fact... YOUR POST RIGHT HERE, is the one that prompted me to write my hypothetical example that I just posted as some of the same reasons for visa denial might come up.

I wish you the very best. Believe me when I say, I identify with you!




Thank you for your support. I am off to Beijing in a week, married soon after. FDR said, "So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself?nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."

Not only speaking of the dire situation of our country at that time, but I deem rather appropriately prophetic considering the VO's at the GUZ IV.

I go to my fiancée shortly to marry her. I will have no fear. I just do what I gotta do. I read the story that you linked me to. Sad, yes. I also read the red flags there. Maybe I will have some luck as none of the 3 red flags will apply to me (thank God). After I file the I-130 but before the interview I will go back again. I must. If she is denied, and if I must live in China to succumb to my conditions shortly thereafter, then I will. At least I can be with her at the end.

Thanks again, and to you I also wish the best of luck and good forturne!

1. Yes. Not done elsewhere.
2. http://www.visajourn...c File what you have, with the initial I-130 submission, then add more at NVC with the DS-230 stuff - see http://www.visajourn...ost__p__4100571


Darnell, I have read all info from both of your links. I can do most items in your list. So am I correct to assume that you did yours the same way I am attempting to do mine, that is, she lived in Wuhan while you were here filing the I-130? And putting her name on utility bills even though she is over there? This is good?

I thought about the affidavits. Really, this I believe is my best shot. Would the following be sufficient? May I ask what did you use?

Affiant Name and Address
Affiant DOB
Affiant Place of Birth


I (affiant's name) am a close friend of ( wife's name). I attended her wedding party on _______ and actually viewed their marriage certificate noting she married (my full name) on _________/2011.


Maybe Include:

I have also visited them living together during Mr. ______'s stay in China.



Sincerely


Affiant Singnature
Notorized etc.






Thanks again.
