K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAddress change for petitioner
QUOTE (KimandRuss @ May 25 2009, 11:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You can try to change it by filling out the change of address form and/or calling the USCIS but I will tell you that more often than not, the change doesn't happen...even if they say it does/will.

Your best bet is going to be using an address of someone who is gonig to be at the same place throughout the process. Chances are you will need to stay on top of this the entire time.

I can tell you from experiance that this is great advise. I used the on line, paper document, phone calls & even two Info Pass meetings & it still got screwed up.
The day of the final Info Pass meeting I was told " dont worry we are sure this will straighten this all out now". " This has all been because you didnt do everything correctly & we couldnt mail you the documents". " It will take about 60 to 90 days to re-send everything".
The following day we recieved all the documents we had waited all those months for & at the address they said they didnt have.

my fiance is filling up his I 134... he's earning annually above poverty level, he's thinking if he needs to put his co ownership of real state with mortgage and put his life insurance too... what do you think guys? need help n advice....

Dont over think this. If hes above the P level thats all thats required. Additionaly the other assets he may have would need to be liquid if they were to be considered.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLetter(s?) of consent..
QUOTE (Nissar @ May 5 2009, 07:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi, I have a question about applying for a K-1 visa:

Do I need letters of consent from my fiance's as well as my parents? I am 20 and my fiance is 21. Also, my parents are divorced, and I've since lost contact with my father. If I need a letter of consent, will his signature be required?



No, you do not need letters of consent from your fiance's or your parents. You are both above 18, and age-wise free and legal to marry in the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes Age Matter????
So you are 51 and he is 22. 29 yrs age difference. Mostly this wont create any problem. I am the non us man 32 and my wife the usc is 57. We do not have any problem personally. So long in the AOS journey there has been no problem. They cannot deny you because of age. However they may ask him some questions like why is he choosing such an elderly lady. If he has good proofs and can convince them he wd be fine. Consulates does look at things closely just to ensure that the relationship is entered in for love and not for green card interest. Thanks .... Im me and i wd help you too if you wanna talk to my wife regarding any problems you may be facing. Wd love to help ... Thanks.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi filed for an appeal and they took my money twice
hello i filed for an appeal on a k1 visa last year and i was in india at the time i filed it so my dad took care of the paperwork and its sending. i told him over the phone not to send it to washington dc but he did anyway. so uscis forwarded it to long beach california which they usuallly dont do. usually they will just send it back. so we thought that it would be rejected and we were afraid that the deadline would pass so i had him send an all new package to long beach with a new check. anyway the whole thing was dismissed and they sent out a dismissal letter on one of the two generated case numbers for the appeal. they however charged us with both checks cashed. weve tried to talk to them about receiving the money back for one of those case numbers but so far they havent done anything about it. what can we do to get the one check back? thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresApplying for 2nd K1 Visa?
QUOTE (nick25 @ Jun 8 2009, 04:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My fiance and i had our first K1 visa application denied because we failed to return a request for evidence within the alotted time period. This was down to a mail forwarding issue(yes i'm aware we should have kept on top of this but she's at college so not at her permanent residence).

As far as i can tell an appeal takes forever and is not necessarily the correct thing to do in this circumstance.

Can we simply re-apply? Are there any restrictions for a 2nd application?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Nick



yeah re filing is good idea and if u r sure u gonna get marry then may be u can apply for CR1 after marriage. Its up to u.. my husband applied for K1 for me and they denied us after whole 7 months and yeah do not appeal , its wasting time and money.. we lost our money and time both so giving u warning for not appealing.. our appeal took around 3 months and they dismissed it.. Bad experience from my side so better be safe.. good.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy Embassy Interview was cancelled a few times by my fiance
Yeah. I think your fiance must have very good reasons for doing that. What might that be? I think you should be ready to disclose the reason for it just in case the consul asks later on (when the interview finally takes place).

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresJust a word of advice!
I actually speak to most of my family and friends nearly every day of the week! Whether its my mum on a tuesday, best friend on wed, sister on thurs ect ect...so im lucky in that respect and have also set up skype recently. Its amazing! Also facebook cant go unmentioned star_smile.gif

Im going back 'home' to england in sep for my sisters wedding so thats something im definatley looking forward too!! And we're planning on moving back there in a year or so so i can go back to uni and get another degree seeing as its pretty much free compared to costs here.

thats good you get to meet people through the college. We also love the outdoors and have a dog so we do a lot of that!
I am glad i drive though , i think as its hard to get anywhere in the city we live in without a car, i would be clinicaly insane by now yes.gif

here is the list of vaccinations that your fiance will need if you havent already found this info...
'Vaccination requirements
Immigrant Visa applicants require certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa.
Mumps, Measles, Rubella, Polio, Influenza Tetanus and Diphtheria Toxoids; Pertussis; Influenza Type B (HIB); Varicella; Pneumococcal'

He can go to his doctor and get his medical records and get any of these that he hasnt done yet. then bring his medical records to his medical exam in Naples. This is what my fiance did and she didnt require anymore vaccinations when she got there.

Good luck to you and your fiance...in bocca al lupo...
Ciao ciao


My fiance also got his vaccines in advance. That way, when he has the medical (in another city), it can go quicker as he'll already have the vaccinations required. Also, it's often cheaper to get them on your own than at the approved medical places for the official medical exam.

thanks again, but i live in america so i filed from here, are you saying Naples will need another K1 packet??? confused, i think maybe you mean if i file from italy,,,,,,,, ok,,,,,, grazie mille, ciao

Hi Strega, My fiance also lives in italy. My fiance goes in for the medical exam and K1 visa interview tuesday April 14th. Im not completely sure that i understand your question. But for my fiance, she goes to the medical exam in Naples. She has to go to Naples for 2 to 3 days. The first day being with the panel physician medical exam there in Naples. And then the next day for the visa interview. Here is the link to the Naples website with the papers and list of vaccinations. You can download the K1 fiance packet there and start to look at what you need to do once your petition is approved. I hope this helps.

edit: forgot to actually put the link tongue.gif....http://italy.usembassy.gov/visa/immigrant/application.asp

Grazie, I already filed the K1, just trying to find out the shots needed before they send the medical exam date so he can maybe have them done before going there. we still have a long wait.............heard that Vermont is backlogged and i'm hoping all this will not take longer than 6 months,,,,,,,anyway, I.m happy for you that its almost over......good luck to you..and again thanks for the info. By the way....how long did it take you to get this far?? I didnt see your timeline.

If you look historically, they flip-flop on who is the slug. Unfortnately for us VSCers, we are on the wrong side of the fence for now.

ok, i guess you are right,,,,,,,,good things come to those who wait.........how do you know which ones they are working on now..........what month are they up too??? is there a way to check?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat's the first step?
QUOTE (Antdawg270 @ May 25 2009, 12:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I helped my fiancee fill out a G-325a and write a letter. I am ready to start the process. Do I have to first send in the I-129f to Vermont and then later they request her G-325a in Moscow? I want to get the process started. What do I do? Just fill out the I-129f, make out a money order for $459 and send it to Vermont?

I've tried to research the answer myself, but my understanding was the G-325a needed to be sent in with my I-129f. Or is that MY G-325a and not her's? I want to send it tomorrow. I'm in love!!! kicking.gif

please look at the guides, they will help you, also there are example forms to see also. you must send the g325's with the l 129f

The easier part is most definitely the part where the petitioner gathers everything together, writes the check [$455.00] and mails it off. Once you are issued your Notice of Approval, it becomes a bit more stressful -- Your fiance will be sent a packet with instructions and she will have her own papers to fill out and things to collect, such as a police report from Thailand and any other country she's lived in for more than a year past the age of 16, if any. From there, she'll have a medical appointment and then an interview, where they will ask about your relationship. For details regarding that, go here: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/ and select the appropriate consular country from the left-most drop down menu. smile.gif

As for how long it takes to get an interview... it really varies. For some people, that comes within 3 or 4 months. Others aren't so lucky, waiting 7 months or more. And then there are those who have been waiting over a year [or more!] to begin the consular part of the journey. So.. you just have to hope for the best. Unfortunately, the system isn't the greatest, so you're going to have to hope that luck is on your side.

That said, I wish you the best of luck on the journey, and please remember that VJ has many, many guides at your disposal, all of which are quite helpful and will definitely answer a lot of questions.


Down the road, would you recommend me being there with her at the interview

They wont let you in to the interview in Thailand. Best you can do is give her your passport to show them you are in country. If you have to gather more evidence, you have wasted a plane ticket.

This is kinda your call. I wasn't there for my wife's interview, but that had nothing to do with them telling her to come back with more info. She had to go back twice to submit more evidence. I was there when she went back, and was allowed inside, although I didn't talk to anyone, I made sure they knew I was there. You can see my review here:

http://www.visajourn...p?cnty=Thailand

They only seem to give married people a hard time.




I would recommand you to check with your work to see if you can keep your security clearance and you Job after she comes here, then I would worry about how long it would take, trust me is a long time, longer that you think. - in some cases you might have to apply for security clearance .

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancee's ability to work in US.
Most states require each applicant for teaching license as a permanent resident (EAD is not acceptable in this case). I am on this kind of process right now. As long as she graduated from a US accredited school in RP and have met the required US curriculum, then, she will be qualified for State Teaching License and will receive provisions that she has to complete in 3 yrs (PRAXIS exam,US contitutions, etc.)
