K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHas anyone ever had any success filing an expidited fiance visa case?

If you won't tell the reason you need it expedited, there's no way for anyone here to judge whether you have a shot. The successfully expedited cases here have generally been military.

As to proof of relationship, yes, e-mails, phone calls, photographs of the two of you together and chat logs are acceptable. Proof of pregnancy isn't; all that proves is that you've been pregnant.

Were I you, I'd check the guides and the ME/NA forum, as the Casablanca consulate can be tricky to navigate, especially for a couple that hasn't known each other very long.


:thumbs:

Just be aware that even if your case is expedited to the consulate, Casa is not likely to give an early interview date. In addition, your fiance will have no control over AP...background checks done through Washington. Some people get their visa in weeks, other's months after AP. Case in point:

It's a ####### shoot. Swing over to the ME/NA forum for more about Casa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdivorce decree question

You submit a photocopy of the entire certified copy of the divorce decree including all pages.



ah ok, so just a photocopy of the actual certified document i received from the court?

is this also the same with my birth certificate? don't send them my original, just a photocopy of the original?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdivorce decree question
quick question guys:

i have a certified copy of my divorce decree... i was wondering if i should send the entire thing with my packet (beginning the k1 process) since it includes like money amount, house transfer etc etc. just things we split (or i gave up) during the divorce.

during my divorce i had the court make 3 or 4 copies of the decree... it's officially stamped/signed by the court, so i don't think i will have a problem when submitting it... right?

You will complete this section, yes. It is filled in on the example I'm looking at.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSimple g-325a question
toward the bottom of the g-325a you see:

"Applicant: Print your name and Alien Registration Number in the box outlined by heavy border below."

I was just typing my name in there, as well as having my fiancee do the same... but i noticed in the example pdf provided by this site they left it blank.

are we supposed to type this info in? (simple question i know, but i'm just trying to do everything slowly/correctly)

thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F return receipt requested / delivery confirmation question

That is good that it is much faster. I got my receipt back from the USPS and there was no signature for who received it. Just a stamp number 066 I think. I also got NOA1 hardcopy yesterday Feb 12, 2010 in the mail. Now just sit and wait, hopefully no RFEs



good luck with the no rfe's... im hoping for the same.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F return receipt requested / delivery confirmation question

I think it is OK.

I did my I-129F to CSC by Certified return receipt. I sent it on Feb 1, 2010. I just saw on the USPS web site it was delivered to CSC today, Feb 8, 2010. So it took 7 days. I hope Priority is a lot faster than Certified.

Good luck.


looks like it was a lot faster... delivered to them in 2 days - even with all the snow. they already deposited the check!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresshould i get an attorney to handle the K-1 visa.. or do it myself?

Just wanted to add to the thread, but will also IM the OP just in case they don't see this. The thought crossed my mind that some of the tests undertaken at the medical could be problematic because Lupus can cause false positives, specifically the syphilis test. It's something about the antibodies that they use to test for syphilis mirroring the ones that your body creates when it's fighting itself.

It is VERY important, therefore, that when she goes for her medical, that she informs them of having lupus, but also for you not to panic if she does get a false positive on the syphilis test. It does not automatically mean that she has it!



thanks for the heads up. i'm definitely benefiting from all of the help here.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresshould i get an attorney to handle the K-1 visa.. or do it myself?

This is terrible advice, sorry.

Lupus is not communicable, as several others have stated. It's an autoimmune disease and non-curable, therefore is chronic. Because of this, it's extremely complex in its presentation and therefore its diagnosis. It's extremely unlikely that it will cause grounds for denial HOWEVER she will need to apply for a waiver for some of the vaccines, as they are contra-indicated for people suffering from autoimmune diseases. This is true for all live vaccines and possibly others.

Make sure she has her full notes and prescriptions, recent blood work results to take with to her medical.

I don't have any experience of visa medicals in PI, but my mother has Lupus - sub-acute Cutaneous, not systemic (SLE) - and she successfully obtained 4 L2 visas and LPR status with a 10 year GC. This was through the London embassy.

FWIW, she also had health insurance, although it did impact her premiums significantly. If you want to know more, I can ask, just send me a PM.


thanks so much for this info - it will definitely help us out. i recently mailed off our i-129f per all of the great help on this website.

thanks again - if you happen to think of anything else please feel free to shoot me a message.

No. Lupus is not a communicable disease. They are looking for communicable diseases and also do a drug test.



thanks, gary and alla. that makes me feel much better :)

i'm still slowly doing the paper work and getting all of our stuff prepared. im really glad i stumbled on to this website and decided to post for help. everyone here is definitely a lot of help... more help than i would get from an attorney for sure.
