Can't you get married in another country near where she lives?

I was hoping we could do it in China but she doesnt think we can do that since she was born and raised in Vietnam, I need to find a decent attrorney I think
I know quite a few who marry in Hong Kong, and then apply for a K-3.

CR-1 Must interview in country of residence (Vietnam) however K-3 can interview in country of marriage (HK)

Example on CFL: http://candleforlove...showtopic=33999 (This person also had a K-1 denied in Guangzhou)


accroding to this website we cannot marry in china because none of us are from china.
Maybe I can go to vietnam for a week do the paperwork and return 3 weeks later for the wedding and stay for 2 weeks. I don't know anything of the paperwork that has to be done and the lawyers are really no help on this.

Can foreigners get married in China?
In order to marry, at least one member of the couple must reside in China. Two foreigners on tourist visas are unlikely to be able to register to marry.


I found this link

http://www.vietnamem...y_a_vietnamese/

I don't trust it because everytime I do something there is always something new to do or something I forgot to do
I wish there was somebody that a person could pay to help do this in 2 weeks because I think it can be done however
my attorny has not commeted on this website I think he wants $$$$ before he helps me even though he failed getting us
the K1 visa and told me he was working on my case and im not sure what he is doing.

I spent around 15k so far and I have just under 15k left in my life savings so I have to be carefull who I trust

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAfter the NOA2
hmmm..let her get her birth certificate (1 copy for USEM and another copy that she could bring to US for AOS)... NBI clearance has 1 year validity. I got my NBI clearance in just one day. Birth certificate and CENOMAR could take few more days but usually, u can get it on the same day..It depends on the servicing office and the number of applicants.
The USEM letter is for ur fiancee to know that ur case is available for interview schedule. She can leave an authorization letter to any of the relative residing at her address..
For USEM interview, the Interview appointment confirmation letter in your email is needed for your interview not really the USEM letter.
how to get the confirmation letter? hmmm...when u call USEM to schedule your fiancee's interview, once u are done talking with the call rep, a confirmation letter will be sent to ur fiancee's email address.. she should print it out and bring it to USEM on her interview date.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHas anyone ever sent in an ADDENDUM?
QUOTE (CraigCam @ Nov 30 2008, 09:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
No, it can't hurt and I'll tell you why. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SEND AN IMPORTANT ORIGINAL DOCUMENT WITHOUT AN RFE! You didn't send any important original documents with your petition, so, why would you do it now? What you are going to do is send a photo copy of the original document along with a cover letter that states, "Copies of documents submitted are exact photocopies of unaltered documents and I understand that I may be required to submit original documents to an Immigration or Consular officer at a later date.", just like you did when you initially filed your petition(don't forget to include your case number, ie: WACXXXXXXXXXX).

Of course things can happen after you submit your petition that might impact your chances of success. That's life, s**t happens and no amount of preparation is ever going to change that. Is there a good chance that your addendum will make it into your file? Maybe not, but there definitely is a chance. Regardless, you will have the originals to present at the interview if necessary. So, what will you have lost besides the postage you spent sending in the addendum?


Thanks again... postage from VN headbonk.gif But that's ok... thanks everyone

Hi folks, I have been corresponding with some other VJ members, mostly Vietnam members, and wanted to ask the whole group about this. A few people have said that they have sent in "addendums" after the fact to the USCIS. They were waiting for their NOA2 (as I am now) and new information/proof happened that they felt was relevant to their case, so they sent it in after. Apparently, it was added to their file as it was returned to them at the interview. Since I am working with a hard, high fraud consulate, I wondered if it would be a good thing to send in an addendum if you had some new information that was relevant to the case.

Does anyone have any experiences with this or thoughts on it? Thanks
Jonas

Main problem is the addendum "marrying up" with the original petition. I guess it won't hurt to try but don't count on it. Have the same info ready for the interview.
Normally the original petition approval doesn't take much. However if you have important additional info for the embassy interview . Maybe the embassy will review the info in the petition they receive prior to the interview.
I haven't seen what the procedure [if any] embassies go thru prior to the interview. In the Philippines it doesn't look like the petitions are reviewed prior to the actual interview as the preinterviewer takes the documents they think are important for the COs and forwards them to the COs.


I guess my question is: Can it hurt? Besides it getting lost or not used, can it hurt anything? Can they say, darn, this person has too much proof and information, or is that silly? :-P

The directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

In our case this what the I-134 included.
  • I-134 signed and notarized.
  • SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html
  • Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)
  • Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.
  • Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.
My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

If your income exceeds 125% of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.


Thanks, I appreciate the post ...2 more questions.

1. I am not a math whiz, what would 125% of the povertyline be?

2. How would the above list change (or would it?) if you were getting 1099's instead of W2's. (which I am).

Thanks very much
Jonas


Google "125% of poverty guideline". For two people it's about $17,500. Tax transcripts or complete returns including the 1099's. If you get 1099's you may not have "pay stubs" and technically are not "employed". Just substanciate your current income the best you can.

You may simply skip all asset related questions on the I-134 if your income is sufficient.


I am a little confused... If I get 1099's I am not technically employed? Will this affect the consulate's decision negatively that I don't get w2's?

I make well over 125% of the poverty guideline, have been with the same employer for 10 years, I just have always been on 1099's.
Jonas


"Employer" and "employed" are techical terms. You don't work for an "employer". Note that the I-134 asks you to tell them how you "derive an income". Self employed people are required to submit tax returns. Read the instructions and the form carefully, interpret literally and answer accurately and honestly, in that order.


Some people aren't as good at understanding instructions of forms as other people, the way some of this stuff is phrased confuses me. Are you saying that as long as I have last years tax TRANSCRIPT, since YuandDan says it shows 1040, w2, and 1099 information, that all I nned to prove income is the tax transcript? I do file taxes and I made around 50k this year. Should this suffice?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshypothetical questions and the I-134 affidavit of support!
The I-134 word for word states: a statement from the officer of the bank - date account opened - total deposits for the last year - current balance.

Does this mean 1) the consulate does not need monthly bank statements?

2) if I stay in Vietnam until the interview, how can I get a statement like this from the officer of my bank?

more importantly 3) if I get an interview date in say, March 2009, am I supposed to give them total deposits for 2009 or total deposits for 2008?

most scary 4) I had some large wire transfers of money in 2008 from another bank account I have. I assume this could be proven where the money came from (not exactly sure how unless I ask the bank officer to state that) but this opens up a whole can of worms as far as the red flag "he got paid to marry her" thing.

and finally 5) I make quite a bit of money through my job, more than enough to satisfy the requirements, is this whole bank statement thing OPTIONAL provided I have tax transcript and letter from employer?

HELP!

Note You will need to provide an I-134 for the interview, prepare and send it AFTER NVC sends case to the embassy.


I was looking at that list but wasn't sure if it was fine her to do things before the NOA2 or not. Like can she go ahead and get NBI clearance or does she have to wait until after NOA2?

Also if she has never left the country does she need police clearance or something from them that states she has never left the country?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAfter the NOA2
I have been reading a lot but am still a bit confused. I realize that there is a long time between filing and then receiving my NOA2.

My finace and I are wondering what she can do while we wait. I read that she will need NBI clearance but somewhere else I read she should wait to get this after she is contacted by the US Embassy. We want her to get everything she needs now but we don't know what things she could do now or what things she should wait to do.

One of the things is she applied for a passport but what others things should she do? I don't want anything popping up that she could have done now and have it cause a delay. I can't seem to find a clear list on things she could get a jump start on because it seems that she is supposed to wait to do somethings.

Also I am still concerned about the letter she is supposed to receive. She does not live at the address that was filed anymore but her sister and a housekeeper do. What if the letter never arrives? Does she need it or can she call to have a new one sent?

Thank you

only thing i can tell u is what i have done first time i tried to expedite they decided after six days they could not because my case is in security if it is in security or back ground check they cant do anything until it is out.

i again on the first part of dec asked for expedite they are now requesting supporting documents for the reasons that i asked them to expedite.

u call the number for customer service and follow the prompts one of them will say is to request an expedite, u then tell them why u think ur case needs to be expedited, if they think that it might be a valid request they send u by snail mail a request to fax in supporting documents.

to expedite u either have to be in the service, have a medical condition that waiting attributes to ur medical condition and it cant be just ur nerves, suffering large financial loss, or requesting for humanitarian reasons for ur fiance

hope this helps u

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBank Balance
they will not ask you about the money you have at the interview
your fiance should able to support you by having an Affidavit of Support so it doesn't matter if you have some money or not in your bank
Good luck and my best wishes for you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhere to send proof ongoing relationship / When to get police cert..
QUOTE (My Mohammed @ Oct 27 2008, 07:42 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I have two questions actually since we're waiting for our noa2.. i'd like to start gathering things and knowing exactly what to do and when. Below are my two questions:

1. Exactly when do we send in our proof of ongoing realtionship, when he receives the packets to fill out or does he wait and bring this info with him to the interview?


2. When should he get his police certificate, at what stage, as it might take a while as things are pretty slow here in, Egypt. I don't know if they'll require proof of why he wants it or just his asking will be enough. I don't want him to get it too early and it be expired or too late because it takes forever to get anything over here done.


1- at the interview

2 the police record is valid for 3 months but to be safe he can get it after they send him the packet 3 . it will not take so long he can get it fast remember money speak in Egypt

Good luck and my best wishes for you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed advice.. Will honesty help or hurt us?
Well there are so many couples here (from Egypt ) they are married Orfi ( and they filled for K1 the usa embassy asked some of them if they are married Orfi and they said yes we are and the CO at the usa embassy says its ok i just want to know if you are honest or not .
i asked the same question before and i ave been told its not good to say to them that we are married Orfi cause its different from a CO to another .
maybe they will misunderstand us and they will deny us .
so i really don't know what to say if they ask me that question.we didn't register that and we don't even have that Ofro certificate so if they will ask me and if i say yes and ask me to show it to them it would be a problem to .
but i think if they will ask me that question i will say no we are not . i don't want to risk about it . cause we are talking about the clean version of hell here ( USA embassy in Egypt)

I don't think they will deny you cause of that.
there are so many couples here who didn't save emails or stuff like that when they first met .
so i don't think it wont be a problem. just like people say be honest and show them all the evidence you have .
they might not ask you about evidence of 2007 at all
Good luck and my best wishes for you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiance visa
First off Congratulations!!!!!
well once you used a money order i don't think you will be able to track it .
the next step is they will send you an Email saying that they received your petition ( maybe they will not ) . and they will send you a hard copy of the NOA1 to your mail .
Good luck and my best wishes for you

Hey Mohamed & Trina, smile.gif

We're filing through Egypt, too. Even though we aren't anywhere near our interview (still awaiting NOA2 sad.gif )... I'm still going to make a trip back to go with him. I know how you feel... all stressed because you have to save money for your life together so you can be prepared when he gets here, BUT THEN AT THE SAME TIME you know you NEED to make another trip back. Honestly smile.gif, I DESPERATELY WANT to go back & I'm just waiting to get approved (NOA2) that way once we get our interview date, I'll book a ticket immediately. biggrin.gif I'm tight on cash too, but I just can't stand being without him. PLUS, the interview is the BIGGEST part of our journey & I cannot stand to let him be there alone without me. Even if they don't let me in, I'm going to be waiting right there by his side. smile.gif I've heard that they are REALLY tough in Cairo because of the high fraud rates, so I'm guessing it's best to be there with him EVEN THOUGH we have TONS of proof that we have a bonafide relationship. Anyway, this is something that you and your fiance need to decide on TOGETHER. Talk about your options and what's best in your situation. Either way, you're in my prayers. I'm sure you all will be just fine. It's just us who sometimes OVER-STRESS ourselves because we want everything to be perfect and go as smoothly as possible. I don't blame you because I'm EXACTLY the same way. smile.gif He's the love of my life & I want nothing more than to be by his side for the rest of our lives. smile.gif Good luck in your interview. good.gif May God bless you both & grant you a smooth & speedy approval. wink.gif Please let me know how it goes so I can join in & celebrate with 'ya! wink.gif

thank you so much for you prayers .
as matter of fact we are not anywhere near our interview either .
we filed for the visa on Aug 28 and we are still waiting for the NOa2 .
GOD bless you to and i wish you a speedy and smooth journey .
