K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat do I send to my fiance????
What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):
1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).
2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.
3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).
4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is notarized (by a US Notary Public), with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.
5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.
6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.
7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Examples: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

he's got a point in that being around it and hearing it/conversing in it will help sharpen his language skills. just a thought - any chance he can watch tv in english? that will help him pick up slang and overall improve his language proficiency.
as for the common language, his ability to speak it will need to be good enough to convince the interviewing officer that you two really do have a common language to communicate in.



Oh, I have no doubt that he can manage an interview just fine. It's the subtleties and slang that cause frustration for me.

he'll pick that up over time. just remember patience is a virtue.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresValid Marriage that fulfills K-1 requirements?
QUOTE (Canadiangal @ Jan 13 2009, 08:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello to my fellow K-1 applicants!! I am new to this site, and prepared to dive into all of the frustration, angst, head-banging, and eventual happiness (?) that you have all experienced at one time or another! I just want to thank all of those kind-hearted souls who are willing to take time out to answer anxious questions and help relieve newcomers to this site.

My question of the day is this:

Soon after I have my K-1 Visa in hand, I would like to have a NON-legal, church "ceremony" in Canada with friends and relatives (no paper signing or anything like that) but then have an American friend who is a pastor and legally allowed to marry couples in the United States marry us in the States later that same day (ie: cross over on my K-1 that day). Obviously we would have to make arrangments for that ahead of time, so the license is ready . . . BUT

my "real" question revolves around what makes a legal, valid, USCIS-recognized marriage that will fulfill the requirements of the K-1 Visa. Does it have to happen in a courthouse with a judge or Justice of the Peace, or is the marriage equally valid if performed by a pastor of a church???

Also: Does the license then have to be mailed to us? Is that a problem?

Everything seems to hinge on this one question, because my pastor won't do a "non-legal" ceremony for us if we don't have the signing later that day. If I can't have my religious/non-legal ceremony first, that will throw me for a loop, as I don't want to live with him simply after having a civil signing ceremony. From what I have read, I would then have to apply for Advance Parole, which means I couldn't go back home for a long time for a proper religious ceremony. By then, what would be the point?!

Any help, suggestions, or advice from personal experience? That would really be a blessing!!

THanks for your kind help!

check with the county courthouse of the state you are going to marry in as to what satisfies the requirements for a marriage and how you receive the marriage license. my suggestion would be that it is picked up in person by one of you, don't trust the mail.

so I'm ready to mail my I-129f. Just wondering is there any special organizations or any special order I need to have these papers together???
Just curious.

read http://www.visajourn...p;page=assembly

IMPORTANT!
Make TWO copies of the entire package before you send it in. This includes the money orders too. You want to have a perfect replica of the package you are sending in. All Forms that you submit must be originals with original signatures. Supporting Evidence that you submit may be photocopies. Retain ALL original supporting Evidence since the USCIS has the right to check them by issuing an RFE (Request For Evidence). If you receive an RFE, follow the direction exactly, and make two copies of what you sent back. During any future interviews the USCIS may also want to examine the original supporting evidence.

Sounds romatic BUT if you plan on adjusting status after you marry you can't leave and return to the US until you have your GC!


Yeah.... I know this all too well from reading other posts. Which is why I'm wondering if it's worth it to just go to city hall and get married and file for the AOS and wait for the GC. Then after I get the GC we can plan the big reception and honeymoon.
Only thing is I have no idea how long that process is from filing to receiving the GC in the mail.

Any ideas approx. how long that will take?

you can leave the country if you have an approved advance parole, which is part of the aos process. i think nessa's took about 2 months from application until approved and in hand.

First, you need to post in the correct forum, this one is for the Philippines.

Second, you need to have visited her in the past 2 years, if its been 3 years now you need to schedule another visit before you can go any farther.

There are many links that spell out the requirments needed but the 2 year time frame is a show stopper.
