K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCanadian Police Check

Hi everyone!! We have been reading different posts regarding police checks from Canada. My fiance has lived in Toronto and Hamilton. Will he need a police check from each city, as well as from RCMP? We keep reading conflicting info. Also, do you inquire for these in person, phone, or online, and how long can we expect it to take? Thanks for any advice!!


RCMP police certificates cover all of Canada. He can go to his local RCMP detachment and fill out the request. It only takes about 10 days. Some cost $50.00 some are free. I had one done at the local police station and it cost $50.00 while the RCMP report was free. If you need it sooner you can request it but there may be a fee.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSSN for K1 Visa holder
After much reading and research no where can I find the answer to a simple question. Does our K1 visa become null and void for SSN purposes after you marry in your 90 day period? Or does it remain in effect until it expires after the 90 day.
finicky darned wording...lol

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescertified copy of decree

Been wondering on exact meaning of it. Been hearing of different copies for it. I personally went to the court and ask for a copy since I never got anything on mail from them. Will that do for my fiancee to take to interview in London? If anyone can help will be greatly appreciated



What did you send with your I-129F package? I received an RFE for this very thing. I had to order a divorce certificate for my divorce but I'm in Canada. My fiance only has a dissolution of marriage certificate which is what is issued in CT. I hope that is all that you require.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 timing question?

Hi,
Just looking over the times listed on the nice visa comparison chart. What I am not clear about, is once the K1 process is started, how long does it take until the person has the visa to simply enter the USA (on average of course & not in regards to getting permanent residence)?

I see that it says 7.5 months...but really, am I understanding that correctly?
It can and probably will take that at least that long for your fiancee to have their K1 visa in hand. But They can visit provided they can show proof they will be returning to their own country. I wasn't sure what to show so I took my apartment lease agreement, a recent bill sent to me at my address, my photocopy of our NOA1, a copy of my fiance's id page of his passport. They also said that because they ran my passport they could see my usual travel history. Whew... I was allowed to enter the USA for the summer. But now I have to remain in my country until I have my visa. I used all my days allowed in the USA, well 179 out of the 180 permitted.. good luck.
Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOur story

First Congrats !!! on the visa. Second thanks for writing your story it was nice to read and it saves me from writing most of mine. I really know how you feel. For us we had to do annulment first. The lawyer was not a crook just not so competent and in the provinces things can move s l o w. Many times the judge would not show up for court etc. My girl and her parents were always already there and I already spent money for the trip only be told it is canceled. two month delay each time. Once it was not even an emergency he just scheduled one of our dates for the same day he had a seminar in Mnl. One occasion our court date that we waited 2 months for was declared a holiday 1 week before our appearance. No matter how good a case the judge will also expect a " gift" at the end. My thinking was if I dont strangle the man that is his gift. All the time, money and effort and some people thinking it's a scam I hear ya. Like you I could never walk away and of course you could never forget her. I flew there as much as I could, spent more money than I even want to think about but if you really are committed to someone it is for better or worse. Besides, I made a promise and there's a great little kid involved who ought to know what a real father is someday. We read about annulment first and seemed most take a year so thats what we expected going in. We met in May 2008 and our interview is finally set for end of this Nov. I haven't been there since Jan 2011. If all goes well I will be coming to get her and my step-son in Jan 2012. Good luck in the future. Myself I just look forward to having a normal life again. Jim.


Thank you Jim for sharing your emotional and beautiful story. I really hope you either make a copy of what you have shared with us or write an even longer version not leaving out any details. It truly is a story of love, courage and perseverance. It makes me humbled and am willing to wait my turn for happy news. I wish you peace, love and a life filled with all you have been waiting for.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVSC's processing MARCH applicants

WOw Terri,
thanks for putting up the stats...I think it is helping me at least, to let go of knowing when. I have been researching the Embassy website for Aus and reading what packet three contains. Some of their requests have caught me by surprise. So I have foccussed on getting as many thing done as I can now...things that won't be time limited. I've been downloading forms and reading instructions and getting ready. When the NOA2 finally comes through I have a list of actions to put in place immediately. By the time the packet is sent from the Embassy I should be almost ready to send it right back!!! That's the plan anyway...what are you all doing while you twiddle your thumbs?



yes good to keep one step ahead of the paperwork. I am not working so I have way to much time to think about the day when it arrives. I have everything I need except the letter with my new case number on. All vaccinations, police certificate. All forms waiting to be faxed. I have made the arrangements of who is going to buy my furniture, the rest goes to charity. Everyone knows that when I have my visa in hand I'm nothing but a flash ... Color me gone...lololololol... So yes making all the arrangements I think helps.. good luck on your process.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVSC's processing MARCH applicants
Well I had way too much time on my hands this weekend as my fiance signed up for call. He works in a hospital and so on call he gets called usually about 2 hours after he falls asleep. Anyways I went over some statistics taken from VJ. Here is what I found out from March,April. May,June.

March there were 25 entries but only 16 had any kind of records not approved.
stats on petitions approved:

March filers NOA1
they approved 1 -april, 2 - may, 30 - june, 72 - july, 25 - aug, 4 - sept, 1 - oct.

April filers NOA1 - 12 with no records showing 17 total showing no approval so really only around 5 not approved...mine being one of them...grrrrrr
3 -june, 28 - july but they didn't work on them for the first 17 days, 6 were from 18th - 21,and the rest in the last week 60 - aug

there still shows 36 to go for May, 43 to go for june,
that's as far as I got...lolol
pleeeeaaaaassssse give us our NOA2

yes this was just VSC

Also agree with not focusing so much on the visa process. I empathize with the desire to be with your love-bug after experiencing loss. I loss oldest son two weeks before I was to meet my fiancee for the first time in 2009, then lost my next son the morning I was to return to see her again, just last Nov. Both of my sons (24 & 26) had sickle cell disease. She was able to come for the 2nd funeral and that was a blessing. Meanwhile, I stopped "watching the clock/calendar" 6 mths after filing the petition. It was finally approved, last week and delivered TODAY. During the process, watching and waiting became too frustrating! :whistle:



thank you and I really understand this stress and the toll it takes on the couple but when we have to add in such life altering experiences like death it almost puts you over the top. Keep us updated on your progress and really enjoy your life. It makes us so appreciative of each other.
I wish you much love and happiness.. Those words sound so cliche but I truly mean them from my heart.. Now off you go and finish your plans....

How about take a country into account and do a full statistical analysis. For example to determine a correlation between approved petitions and country of the beneficiary. This way we may be able to find out that some countries get more scrutinity. :) Just an idea :rofl:

Sorry,
I naturally assumed you were the petitioner because it's usually us who drive ourselves nuts with processing times and can't wait until our loved ones arrive.

You though DO have stuff to get completed before your move here, so get cracking and get your documents in order for your interview, get the car ready for the long drive to the USA, do all your preparations.

Seriously though, sorry for your recent losses. You are not alone in your journey!



thanks very much. I have everything ready to go as soon as I have my new case number. All my belongings have already been arranged to go as soon as it's a go... vaccinations all done... police certificate, forms filled out ready to be faxed.., updated evidence to prove on going relationship... tic toc tic toc.....

Really sorry to hear about your losses, but wrapping yourself completely around this process will cause you more grief and anxiety than you need right now.

Find something that occupies your time (besides compiling I -129F approval statistics). Seriously, get a hobby or work on getting the house ready for your fiance's arrival - anything to get your mind off the process for a while.

Your time will come very soon now. We're here with you through this - but take some time to unwind and do something besides adding approvals of petitions.

God bless.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F almost ready to file

Hi!

I'm almost ready to file--I've been reading through the guides and the forums on here for tips so that my I-129F goes through without a hitch! I have a few questions though:

Birth Certificate - mine is only a front page. I copied the back too, but it's blank, so it looks like I did not. Should I copy all the pages of my passport as well just in case?
Dates on documents - Is it okay/expected for the documents signed by my fiance to be dated earlier than mine as long as they're within 30 days of filing? I also read that the check should not be post dated--is it okay if it is dated a couple days before I actually mail the package out?
Proof of Meeting - I have e-mail itineraries from Orbitz showing that my fiance flew to Ukraine, and I flew there a month later to see him, but I don't have boarding passes, and we never flew anywhere together. He had a visa to work here for two years, should I include that to show he was here? We worked at the same place in 2009, and our contracts would definitely put us in the same place without a doubt, but it was over two years ago.
Presention of information - I read here that I should two hole punch the top of the packet and use ACCO brackets, but I haven't seen any other mention of this in the forums! I don't want to punch extraneous holes in my application or anything! I feel like I'm being a little weird about something so simple, but if not should I paperclip pages that go together like the three pages of the I-129F? Hand written post-its explaining examples of proof of meeting and relationship? Is it appropriate to provide a timeline of our relationship?

Thank you!

at the end of the day it is up to you how you present your package but if it falls apart they won't be happy trying to put it in order is not their job and it will definitely cause a delay... just make sure it is very secure and is easy to make their way through all your info.... Good luck....

Oh Heck I have to go back and retrace my steps. It was in some US government site.

But that is why we went with contacting our congresswoman . It even has visa specific tabs to click on the congresswomans website. They are there to ask as liaison in regards to visa concerns so why not use this resource, as this is a real issue.

Well, here is our situation.. We filed in April, the time that our petition was looked at and the timing of our RFE confirmed they (USCIS) are not following their own mandate about processing in order of receipt. So we just did the filing of the privacy release form to our congresswoman in hopes it will be looked at. Others, just on this site, had petitions filed months after us and received RFE's before us and have already been approved. So yes we believe it is time to ask for a liaison to step in on our behalf. That is part of their position.
Just what we felt was needed at this time.

I'm waiting in Comox BC for the K-1. Great news about the wait times in Vancouver right now. We filed July 19 and it already feels like a long wait.

Can you tell me how you were able to set up an account at the US Consulate in Vancouver? I went to the website but couldn't see how to do it.

Many thanks in advance,

Shannon


It was like going through a maze, but I will open another window and follow my steps and type here concurrently... let's see what I can do..

go to the bottom of the page, you will see a guy with a laptop and it says"click here for U.S. Visa information, to register for courier delivery and to schedule an appointment online".
read the page check the box just above the confirm button
then hit the "confirm" button
you will have another window pop up, to create your account follow the prompt and questions, You will need your passport as your number. You will see what you need to do.
After you have set up your account and everything you will need your case number to book your appointment. But in the meantime you can log into your account and it will tell you when the next available time will be... example 21 days.

hope this helps
keep me updated on your progress. I'm in Victoria. Used to live in Coutenay.lol

Hey they fellow Canadians
I have too much time on my hands and use the time to research just about anything to do with this process. I'm most interested in times it takes each couple to go to next task.
I went into the US Consulate site for Vancouver and set up my account for when that beautiful day arrives and I get to book my interview. It says they are booking 21 days. So that is pretty good. So as soon as you have all your needed paperwork and case number then you will be able to plan your getaway for a month later....
And NO we can't book an interview date until we have the elusive case number...

Happy trails everyone
Terri
