K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-129F Denial	Since you don't give the reason for the denial, it's anybody's guess. I suggest you provide more information if you wish a useful response: Was it denied due to financial reasons or something else? What? If it was financial ... e.g. they didn't accept your parents as co-sponsor, then I would expect the same might happen to you unless your parents financial situation has changed. dvc	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-12-02 01:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	tax return for k-1?	What you need to provide is really the choice of the interviewing consulate officer and different embassys have differing standards, but, generally no, the standard instruction for the I-134 do not state any requirement for tax returns except for those self-employed. However, I would suggest you provide copies of at least the past year and your most recent pay stub (or 3). dvc	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-12-03 01:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 Visa Question	You're here on holiday. That's all you need to say. There's no need to provide answers to unasked questions. dvc	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-12-03 21:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Extending petition	If you need more time beyond the expiration date stamped on the NOA2 (when you recieve it, which will be some time yet), you should send in the request for extension mentioned above to the embassy. It gives you 4 additional months from the expiration date, however, I believe additional extensions can be requested, each for 4 months up to 1 year, but that could be wrong. Your fiancee does not need to hold off on returning the packet docs to the embassy. Instead, send the requested documents (which do not include the I-134), then have her call the embassy and request to have the interview delayed AND you send the extension request letter. That's what I did for the Polish embassy. dvc Edited by iLoveAPolishGirl, 04 December 2009 - 06:25 PM.	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-12-04 18:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Extending petition	Basically what the Polish consulate asked of us was to bring this letter to the interview. We had already mailed it before they made that request, but, I would suggest you make up one of these and bring it with you... if you don't need it, great, but if you do, you will be prepared dvc	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-12-02 02:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Extending petition	Not quite. You need to submit a request to extend approval to the embassy. You can find an example letter in the example forms: http://www.visajourn...nd-approval.doc We submitted one last month to our embassy without any problems. Good luck dvc	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-12-01 15:57:00

IMBRA Special Topics	IMBRA should be applied to all male-female interactions	Well, Congress makes the laws, but the Supreme Court decides if the law is constitutional... if and when it is brought to and accepted for review by the court. AFAIK, this law has not yet been reviewed and decided by the Supreme Court and... if that's true... it's constitutionality has not yet been decided. Personally, my hope is that it will be declared unconstitutional one of these days, months, years ... dvc Edited by iLoveAPolishGirl, 14 June 2009 - 09:46 PM.	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-06-14 21:45:00
IMBRA Special Topics	IMBRA should be applied to all male-female interactions	Well, I'd never put it the way the OP does, but certainly do have objections with IMBRA as well. I think I understand the reasoning behind it, but it effectively makes USCIS judge and jury over matters that have already been decided in court. It should be up to the justice system, not the legislative or executive systems, to decide if an individual's rights should be limited in some way for some reason. Most specifically objectionable to me is the following statement on the I-129F instructions: QUOTE If you have ever been convicted of any of the following crimes, submit certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for every such conviction. This is required even if your records were sealed or otherwise cleared or if anyone, including a judge, law enforcement officer, or attorney, told you that you no longer have a record. In essence, this claims that the USCIS has veto power over the judicial branch, which sure sounds unconstitutional to me!! What happened to the separation of powers, which forms the cornerstone of our constitution? dvc	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-06-14 16:15:00
USCIS Service Centers	hard time to call USCIS	Yea, well, so don't we all So sorry but there is no way to expedite any cases other than a few select types of visas listed on the USCIS site, and for those it requires extra payments of money Good luck though! dvc	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-04-03 00:55:00
USCIS Service Centers	helpme	Once you find out the reason you will most likely also be provided with instructions on how to appeal the decision.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	Important notice for Lithuanians	Dangerous? Why is it dangerous? Seriously, my fiancee just took a bus-load of high school students on a week-long exchange trip a few weeks ago from S. Poland to Estonia & back (even longer and more boring! ) and we have discussed possibly doing similar trip in a year or two (we both have friends in Baltics) .... so, why is is dangerous?? dvc Edited by iLoveAPolishGirl, 26 March 2009 - 02:10 PM.	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-03-26 14:07:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	Poland Visitor Visa	Hey Richard, that's great news! Renata and I are here in the US now and just reading this ... awesome. (She heads back Sat.. bummer ) Hope she has a wonderful trip here. Too bad we aren't closer to each other in either country.. would be great to meet up!! dvc	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-04-16 12:17:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	Poland Visitor Visa	Wow, I just hate hearing of such rude experiences at POE!! There is no excuse for any officer to treat people like that... and it is against stated US policy. Anyone experiencing such rude behavior should report the officer to the CBP ... instructions on how to do so (and the stated code of policy) is on the website. Anyway, Renata just arrived here, passing thru customs at JFK. This was her first trip after submission of the I-129F and her third trip this year. Fortunately, she had the exact OPPOSITE experience as pilot's girl describes on all three trips... and this one was perhaps the easiest of the three (if that's possible ) ... just two quick questions and a "Have a wonderful holiday" I hope you have a wonderful trip to Poland Richard and best of luck with Joanna's interview! dvc Edited by iLoveAPolishGirl, 10 April 2009 - 01:35 PM.	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-04-10 13:34:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	Poland Visitor Visa	Anastasia, Actually the gov't is selling those flats for $1 at least where my fiance lives! With legal fees my fiance tells me the total comes to ~$200...$300. She thinks her mother's is currently valued at ~$45..$55K. Not a bad investment Her cousin is about to buy hers soon. Anyway, there are many success stories here of people crossing while awaiting a K-1 so we'll cross our fingers Richard, I have no idea what your chances maybe, but best of luck to you and yours! dvc	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-04-06 12:45:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	Poland Visitor Visa	Well, I have no idea of what her chances are, but just wanted to respond to this comment..... QUOTE A "marrying age, working age" single woman from Eastern Europe/FSU has half the chance of a snowball in hell to get a tourist visa. um, my (now) fiancee had absolutely no problem getting a B-2 visa last year.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	K1 an immigrant or non-immigrant visa?	Hey Richard, The instructions from the Warsaw embassy are for BOTH a K-1 AND other immigrant visas. The instructions from the other embassy are obviously focused just on the K-1. Warsaw treats K-1's essentially the same as immigrant visas, however just by the title of that page alone, there is an obvious distinction being made (e.g. that there are immigrant visas and then there is the Fiancee visa.) Since K-1 is officially classified as a nonimmigrant visa, then I would not check the question about immigrant visas either. K-1 is a nonimmigrant visa because it only grants entry for 90 days. An AOS must be next filed to adjust to immigrant status. dvc	iLoveAPolishGirl	Male	Poland	2009-04-03 21:15:00
