K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview CANCELLED!!!!!!???????????????

Today was an awful day, just 3 days before my fiances interview in Israel, He gets a call from the embassy in Tel Aviv and they say that they are sorry they have to cancel his interview. He asked why, they then gave a story about some new law as they put it that requires all fiance visas to go for an additional check of some sorts. Something didn't feel right, so I called them myself.
The lady picked up, saw in her computer that there was an interview date on May 16th, and the said, oh yes i see a note here that they called hin today. After putting me on hold for some time and talking to someone in charge I assume, she returns and says to me very quickly we are still processing his appplication and we are not ready to interview him. I ask in confusion what is the reason for this since we have already gotten the interview, she would povide me with no more assistance, she said it has nothing to do with me or my fiance and it has to do with their administrative side and then said the same thing to me as my fiance......we advise him to call in a month if he hears nothing from us. :crying:

I dont buy the new law excuse, something is not right!!! :wacko: It's not fare! we were 3 days away, and they just drop us like that :help:

I've been crying non-stop since then, and I have no clue as to whats really going on!!!

Awww so sorry. This is awful

Big hus for you :luv:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow can I talk to a live person?

now when you get touched does that mean you get an email from service center, or the date changes on their website

Just an update on the website basically somebody has worked on you case :)

Hey,
Does anyone have a number that let's you speak with a real person about your case? I tried 1 800 375 5283 and that didn't work. I also tried 1 750 330 1048. That attempt was also futile. I want to try to speak with someone about why my case still hasn't been approved, denied, or had any requests for evidence. Any help is appreciated because this is increasingly infuriating!

You are still in the alloted timeframe for processing according to your timeline and they wont really do anything for 30 days after. Just hang in there. :)

We didnt either, we used the guides and example forms on VJ and had no problem. It really is a personal choice but just make sure they tell you in advance what they are going to charge you because some may charge hundreds whilst others charge thousands! :)
P.S. A lawyer cant make things any quicker for you!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresClarification on IMBRA Recall


OK not to sound mercenary here, but aren't we still affected? You guys, by rights, should have interviews before us so if they halt our process to get your interviews in...aren't we getting pushed back. TRUST ME - I KNOW you are all getting the short end of the stick thanks to DHS but I'm still not 100% comfortable with this for all of us.


I still feel so angry for you elwintro!



Thanks. By the time I'd heard from the embassy again, I had already come
to terms with the situation and was thinking up all sorts of backup plans so
I could break the news to my fiancee and not have her fall completely to
pieces.

I'm a bit stressed out right now by it, but I don't care anymore. Everything
is still going ahead as planned, so I'm more than happy.

As for everyone else being affected, I'd say yes: there are going to be delays
to case processing times because of these new security checks. It still stinks.
Congress really needs to review the immigration situation. It's a completely
unfair system that's only being made worse.

Good luck to all still waiting for approvals.

When will you know for sure if your interview is confirmed or not? London is a very easy Embassy to go through my interview was so easy and pleasant. Hope this helps aleviate some of your stress :)

It depends totally on the POE officer as to what they ask but saying you are on vacation and visiting frends is fine. They may ask to see your return ticket. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThis is crazy

Question, have they stopped shipping texas cases to CSC? or are they still doing that?

Texas is still shipping all K1's to CSC

What is this new law that is slowing down processing?

IMBRA relates to marriage broking services now some spousal and fiance visas are subject to further security checks supposedly to prevent abuse

The law is not gender specific and has to be seen to be equal therefore it has to be applied to both men and women. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGeneral Questions we're running into..

Hey everybody.

First let me start off with thanking everyone whose done work on visajourney.com. I found this website a few months ago and have spent many hours reading the guides, checklists and other information I couldn't seem to find anywhere else. That said, I still have a few questions, as my fiance and I are going through the FINAL checklist before sending off the initial I-129 with G forms. I apologize if these questions have been answered elsewhere- everythings getting hectic and I'm just trying to make sure to remember to include everything in the packets.

1. Present Address:
My lease expires in 2 months. I have no idea where I will be living after that, but my current address IS my current address. Leaving a forwarding address here is not an option, as the mail service is horrible and I'm worried enough about getting day to day mail- let alone ever having my mail forwarded to me. What should I do? I have my parents address which is permanant, but I certainly don't live there anymore. Is there someplace I should mention a mailing address? This occurs on both the I-129F and the G-325a forms... Finally, if I just put my parents address down as the "present" address- where do I put the real address I am living now?
You could use your current address then advise them of you new one or use your parents address whichever is easiest
This also relates to question 14 on the I-129F. Parents address again?

2. Employement history
Having just graduated college, I am finishing up a long term job as a TA and am ALSO in the process of securing permanant employement post-college. Of course, I haven't secured it yet and don't have an address.
Provided you our employed and meet the minimum income requires when you fill out the I-134 yu will be fine otherwise you will need a co-sponsor
Since I filled out this form a month ago, it has my TA position listed but by the time the service gets around to working on my fom, it will not be my present job anymore. What on earth should I do here? Nor do I want to put none for present, as it's required of me to be able to provide.

3. Evidence of having met in the last two years and ongoing relationship.

Unfortunetly, we weren't thinking about the I-129F when we met in person a year and a half ago. We no longer have hotel reciepts, etc. Will the following be enough:

1. Passport stamps from entry into countries after she left the US (Japan then Korea then Indonesia), but no LAX exit stamp
2. LAX Money Exchanger Receipt with date, dollar to Yen
3. Postcards she wrote while traveling from Texas to Los Angeles
4. 5 Color Photos of us in LA
This looks fine as the passport stamps are primary evidence and the rest secondary
Then for ongoing relationships we have the usual phone bills, letters, emails, etc... should be fine there.

Thanks, it's hectic getting allt his together and of course you worry about every little pesky thing.

Again, thanks for even reading this. If I missed an easy answer to one of these questions somewhere on the forums (or heaven forbid, in a guide!) point me in the right direction and I'll sulk off shamed ;)

-Sean

You seem to have everything you need!

Good luck
