K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresName after marriage
QUOTE (Mark and Hannah @ Jan 6 2008, 04:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Not quite the same situation but, after I left my first husband (but nine months prior to final divorce papers), I changed my surname back to my birth surname by deed poll and also added an additional middle name that I have been known by since I was a child. When Mark asked me to send him documentation I included a certified copy of this deed poll with the other evidence even though my passport, birth certificate, and even my final divorce papers all show my birth surname. The deed poll service is quick, easy, and relatively cheap... and if you don't have any other official record of the change this might be a good back-up to have in-hand. Better to have it and not need it!





What my Fiance is trying to say or ask I believe is....

Should he use his birth surname or the name on all of his relevant papers (passport, bank statements, leases, plane tickets etc..of course excluding his birth certificate) on all of our paperwork for the K1 process and just list His birth surname as other names known?


SHould he have his name officially changed by deed poll (legal way to change name in UK , recognized by all government agencies) would it matter that it was just done know and not when he was little?

What other thing should we include to explain the name change? We thought a notorized letter from his mother saying that David went by his stepfathers last name since age of 5
his doctor that all medical records have been in that name as well

he has nothing with his birth surname except his birth certificate so it seems logically he should use the name he has gone by for the past 29 years. but we do not want a RFE or worse visa refusal......

Thanks....

When its really rough we cry, scream and curse (well at least i do!) You just have to realize that its not forever and at least we have each other , at least we know we will see each other again. I went through the physical pain last time David left. I went weeks without sleeping, could not eat, felt like I could die. But for me I had to get my a*# in gear as I have a small child. Yet I made it through that and we will see each other Friday for a few weeks or months depending on the POE. Yet we all have to go through this if we want to be together. Just think of it as a test of the strength of yourself and your relationship, you will make it through because the only other choice is to give up and I know for myself I am not giving up the only man that has made me believe in love..

MSN/Skype voice and video chat, play WoW together, we rent movies and watch them at the same time together while voice chatting. We eat dinner together on webcam, leave our webcam's on all night. It's pretty fun.
I work a lot and save as much money as I can and he does the same.

We are both working towards the same goal. I love him so much!

yes it is up to the POE as it does not actually say how many times you can visit
my fiance has been here 3 times since May of 07 on the VWP stayed 3 weeks the first time. 7 weeks the next and 11 weeks the last time...
He has been back home in the UK for almost 2 months now and he is coming tomorrow to Canada so we can vacation together! YAY ( i cannot wait to see him!) We will try to come back here so it will be interesting to see if he can come here for the 4th time... it is technically another year as he has not visited in 2008 yet LOL!!
Wish us luck! smile.gif

Just a question? Have you filed your petition without first obtaining your final divorce decree? Because I am waiting on mine it will be another month or so and have not filed my petition because of it? Can i file then include it later... and when later?
thanks

Is your divorce final? You can't file your I-129F unless you are legally allowed to marry at the time of filing. If you file before your divorce is final, you will be denied. If, on the other hand, the judgment is final and you're just waiting on the paperwork to get to you, then I suppose you could go ahead and file now. You'll get an RFE requesting the divorce decree, at which time you should have it and can send it in.

QUOTE (LuciansGirl @ Jan 7 2008, 10:13 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Doesn't the term "decree" simply mean "judgment of the court"? Mine doesn't have "decree" on the actual document but it does say "judgment of dissolution".

Yeah, sounds like the same thing.



thanks mox....
it will be final this week but will take a month or so to get the decree... did not know if it was worth filing now getting an RFE
or waiting until i get it and file. I do not know if i am saving us any time by doing it the first way...

I'm still wondering what the "decree" is though. That term is not on my papers anywhere. I asked for a decree at the courthouse and they said this is it...my pile of papers that I fileld out stating who gets what etc that the judge signed.

Does everybody get that or is a decree more of a one page certificate type thing?

Hmmm, pretty sure mine actually says "decree." I'll check it out when I get home.

My decree is from Colorado, actually. But probably very similar.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding Fiance name change
QUOTE (TracyOz @ Jan 19 2008, 03:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Common Law Name change - is quite legal and valid (without official deed poll name change documents).. However you must supply further proof about the fact that the name has been used and for roughly how long.

Eg:- a Stat Dec. (or affidavit) from a couple of people (with a photograph of your fiance on this declaration). stating that I (blah blah) have known (blah blah blah) shown in this photo for x number of years, I have only known them as the following name;-
Have these documents notarized or witnessed by a JP.

Also include anything else that shows use of that surname, especially anything official (legal) from that country - such as drivers licence, medical records, school records, bank statement, tax file number etc.

Along with a statement (affidavit or similar) from the actual finance stating that this is their birth certificate number, registered on x date and that since x date they have gone by the surname of x.

Hope that helps (I know it means more paperwork whistling.gif grin but what the hey? During this process there is really nothing like another couple of trees being chopped down for our photocopying is there?? regardless of the fact that on the bottom of all the forms that we have to fill in it refers to the paperwork reduction act... LOL... big joke).

have a GREAT day
Tracy
:-)


yeah i laugh at the paperwork reduction act as well.. I never would have thought that marrying someone from another country could be so complicated and bad for all those trees sad.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding Fiance name change
We are finally getting ready to send in our petition in a few weeks and wanting to avoid any RFE's
I am wondering I know we do not have to include my fiance's birth certificate. His passport and all other documents except his birth certificate are in his stepfathers last name. He was never officially adopted but has went by that last name since he was 4 and he is now 34...
he listed his birth father on his g325a and he put that last name as other names known. He is in the process of getting his name officially changed by deed poll and will have a confirmation that the name he uses is "legal"
it states in the guide that Proof of Legal Name Change if either the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance(e) is using a name other than that shown on the relevant documents. You must give USCIS copies of the legal documents that made the change, such as a marriage certificate, adoption decree or court order ... what are the relevant documents for him as he does not have to provide anything for the petition besides the G325A and the intent to marry? so I guess my question is do we bother to include the birth certificate and deed poll name change in the petition or does he need this for the interview only?
I think that the more info we send the better as they will not have to question anything...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical related question
I think first of all you should absolutely seek help! this process is stressful and sad and can rattle even the most "stable" person. Its ok to go talk to someone. I really do not see how it will affect your petition. First if I am correct the only ask the beneficiary not the petitioner medical questions. It is sad though that depression is seen as being a mental disorder and something to be looked down upon when actually it is a chemical imbalance or just bottled up emotions... This forum also is excellent at expressing your feelings, venting and commiserating with others going through the exact same thing... take care and talk whenever you need.

Hi All,

First off, i am very happy i found this site.

After google searching like mad, and no help, I would like you to get some of your opinions on this matter.

My fiance in the US and I, want to start the I-129F petition. I am currently seperated in Canada from my husband, but haven't started the divorce procedings yet. We have been seperated for over a year. Just wondering if we should(have to) wait till my divorce is final before applying or can he still do the petition with me being seperated.

Thank you all for your help, its greatly appreciated. smile.gif



You have to supply the final divorce decree with the petition so you would have to wait until your divorce finalizes. I would get on it as quickly as possible if you want to file your petition soon.

I say that Vermont is doing nothing at all, posting July 30th while approving applications filed in December and leaving October and November applications behind.

QUOTE (emberiza @ May 23 2008, 09:02 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello everyone!

We hired Holmes & Lolly lawyer office to take care of our K1-visa and had bad experience from them. First it did weeks for them to send our application to USCIS. It turned out that the paralegal who was assigned to our case was sick for some time and our case was dusting on her desk! After many phone calls my fiance found this out and someone else was assigned to our case. And they started to ask for a document we had already sent them and it took a long time to convince them of this! Eventually they sent our application to California Service center. It is very hard to get any reply from them to any question and they are really rude! They definately just don't care.

We are waiting for the NOA2 approval now.
If we decide to request all our documents back from the lawyer office and discontinue their services before we get NOA2, is that possible? I mean if we inform USCIS that we are no longer using the services of Holmes and Lolly mentioned in the K1 application? And what is the phone number or fax number where we can contact USCIS?

I'd be really grateful for your replies!! =)

I would think the safest option would be to get a joint sponsor.

You husband should definitely file tax return for 2006 which should show his income both in Korea as well as his income in the U.S. I am not sure about your situation, but you can use 2005 and 2004's tax return to show financial independence.

He hasn't file tax return for 2006 yet. Checking his income, his total income for 2006 is lower than poverty line. His present salary is higher than poverty line(he will send 'employment of verification' and pay stub with I-864). In this case, should we need joint sponser? or should we need some asset(cash..)?

"Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).

The NVC has updated the address. Please continue to notify the NVC of
any change of address or change in personal situation, which may affect
the beneficiary's entitlement to a visa.

A packet containing the Affidavit of Support (I-864) Processing Fee
Bill has been sent to the petitioner or attorney of record. The payment
due amount listed on the fee bill must be paid according to the
instructions before the I-864 will be accepted.

The NVC is resending a duplicate packet. Please allow at least 10-15
business days for the packet to arrive.

NVC has received the Agent of Choice selection. The Immigrant Visa
Application (DS 230) processing fee bill will be sent to the designated
agent on the case. The fee must be paid according to the instructions
before that form will be sent. Please allow two to four weeks for the

what does this email mean ???

It looks like you informed them that you have changed your address, and they have updated your records in accordance with that. Also that you have selected your agent of choice (your wife) and they are confirming that they have received information in regards to that subject. The e-mail is also informing you of what has been sent to the petitioner, and that fees will have to made in accordance with the various forms before they will be accepted.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhat's the difference between co-sponsor and jointsponsor
Well, I asked about a co sponsor and was told it is a joint sponsor so there must be a difference. I was wondering what the difference was myself when someone pointed that out to me.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresquestions during interview.
I suggest you be truthful! Trust me, any and all deceit when it comes to US immigration ALWAYS comes out eventually and will bite you and cause you even more problems. Besides, what makes you sure they do not already have that information and will catch you in a lie??!! I strongly urge you to complete the fomrs honestly and completely and simply have the backup documentation to prove your intentions to return home.

Police clearence certificates depends on the country of issue.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhat is the latest on police reports and medical?
with the sometimes never ending changes, I was wondering what is the latest on how long the police reports and medical are good for? I have heard both 6 months and 1 year. Are they different for each country? we have been waiting for a year now on our 601 waiver so I know we have to do the medical again.. but we went ahead and did the police reports for US Egypt and Canada last month and just want to be sure how long they are good for. One other thing regarding the police reports... if there has not been any travel to the country since last police report do you still have to do another one for that country? Thanks much

I still don't have my case number as yet the NVC operator told me to check next week . I feel as if i am going out of my mind help. Does any one hava and idea of when the processing might be completed for people who were approved under the category Ir/Cr 1 for and I-130 petition. Help!



sorry to bear bad news... but you still have a wait.
If I understand your timeline, you have been approved with USCIS and now waiting for case number from NVC?
If I remember for us it took 30 to 60 days from USCIS til NVC sent us papers with case number. Then you have all their processing, you are looking at atleast 6 to 12 months total time. Sorry... but as you will see from many many posts here... patience, thoroughly completed papers, patience, follow up calls.. etc are all part of it

Let me know if I can help any further. Best to you



sorry I double checked... it took us two weeks to get our response with case number from NVC. Then took from Feb 1 to July 5th for it to be processed and then leave NVC, a week later Montreal received and our interview was set for August 21. Hope this helps you. You should be receieving your NVC case number very soon.. perhaps it was delayed a few days because of the past two snow storms in Vermont..

Just wondering as long as there are no major hiccups.. once the NVC have recieved your petition from the USCIS how long until an interview date is issued..

i realise that cases are different would just appreciate a guesstimate..

oh by the Way we filed the I-130 in Vermont (Not sure if this makes a difference..


Listed below is out time frame.. (We had some hold ups getting original certificates from Egypt and police reports from Egypt) Hope it helps..
