K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWestern Union Receipts

Best wishes DeeDee for the Interview. Ignore negative posts and go with your heart. Makes no sense to me why someone would stay on this Forum if they had their Finacee/Wife here and hang around to collect Hearts to show authority. Now thats BORING. So, what color is your hair going to be. Pink, Blonde or brunette. I know your a brunette in real life. GOOD LUCK AT THAT INTERVIEW. Tim/Mav. :thumbs:

if you are relying on receipts from WU or MoneyG to convince the CO of your relationship, then you have bigger issues...


what do you mean? thats PART of our proof. lets be serious only an idiot could partially support an unknown person. we know eachother for 6 years. we have pictures, plane tickets, passport stamps, boarding passes, messenger/skype logs, and letters from our families that describes our relationship. what issues? jesus...and i bet the person who posted this doesnt rely on that either

"but you never know what a woman will say." ---Why marry the woman then? Why go through so much K1 visa trouble if a woman is so dumb? I feel so bad for those men who feel that they are better than women. 2. "Using drugs" in all legal papers means using illegal drugs. Otherwise it's medicine. See, even women know that!

if u used drugs in the last 6 months it will come out positive at the blood test. if you admit it at the medical before they find out you might have your interview delayed for 6 months to 1 year and a new medical exam for a confirmation

finally we got a good news
my baby call the senator in AL
and they said they need him to read a letter about he give them the right to check our case and bla bla bla
they will help us!!!!

i dont know too much about that
do you read any case that senator involoved and then got visa????

bring everything u had about your relationship
in case the VO give you problem about the way you met
until right now i still cant find a way to proof that he is not only one i met on myspace
but i dont think u will have same like me
coz the VO i got,i think she already hate chinese,thats why the first sec she met me
i can tell she hates me from her face
u will get a good new
tell me after u finish ur interivew ok
god bless everyone


YES the senators can help with the visa. something is strange about this, i think the officer who interviewed you had a VERY bad day and she was trying to make the people as miserable as she was. dont give up. NEVER give up, there's always hope and if you two fight with all your weapons there's no way you wont succeed. two heads always think better than one

you case gets updated whenever they scan the bar code on the petition. its still early to talk about an approval. remember the estimates are and will always be 5 months. some are lucky some are less lucky. the only thing you can do now is have patience. i know is easy to say that but thats indeed the only thing you can do

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTimeline Question

 
 
Hi all,
 
I know that the dates in the Processing Estimates/Stats is just an estimate, and could go up or down, based on if or when other members update their own timelines or if new members join and create a timeline, but what does the date given for adjudication actually mean? Does it mean the estimated date of approval from the service center processing the petition, or does it mean that this is the date that the NVC will have sent the approved petition over to the embassy by.  I know we have just submitted our petition in August, and we have a lot of time to go yet, but the time does seem to be passing quickly or at least it does feel like it on some days.
 
Processing
Estimates/Stats :

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between December 13, 2011 and December 25, 2011*.

 

Thank you,

Kimberly


that means you should get NOA2 between december 13 and december 25. remember the timeline will change drastically once they start approving july and august filers. ours dropped with 3 months from the time we created the timeline, and we were approved before the first date of the estimated time

you can send all the papers togheter instead of bringing them at the interview. just dont sign the forms that need to be signed in front of the consular officer. they have all the documents there for the time of the interview so dont worry about it. and as far as i know from english members you can do your medical exam before you receive packet 4 . those dont expire soon i think they are valid for 6 months

edit: the police certificate add birth certificate (original + copy) must be taken at the interview togheter with the proofs

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresName Change after marriage on K-1
they shouldnt refuse you. in the office i applied for my SSN after i got married it was written big on the wall that for name changes we only have to show the marriage license and a valid I94. try calling to a call center that deals with stuff like this or go to another office. ive seen people having the same problem especially in texas. i think it depends on the office, some workers simply dont know the procedure and refuse to hear they are wrong

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresproof of never been married

Actually, as funny as it may sound - in SOME countries that is EXACTLY what you get. For example in Costa Rica, the beneficiary must obtain a "certificate of single" from the Registro Civil which states that she has either been married previously or has never been married. So - in essence, this is proof of never haviung been married.


ok thats retarded LMAO
DeeDee&SamFemaleRomania2011-10-18 18:18:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSo frustrating!

We have already planned the entire wedding and sent out the invites. We were so careful before starting this process, talking to friends who had done it before or who were currently going through it, not to mention talking to USCIS beforehand and we were always told the same thing. It will be within 5 months. I even asked USCIS if I could start planning the wedding for 6 months out of receiving the paperwork and they said yes. Stupid USCIS!!!! If we don't get the K 1 in time, we can still get married (he'll come visit under the VWP) and then he'll fly back to Scotland and we file the I-130. USCIS also told me that he can stay AND file for his AOS while it's all processing but I highly doubt that since we haven't been getting the most reliable info from USCIS... which is stupuid b/c they're, well, USCIS!!!


Since you seem dead-set on going ahead with the wedding as planned, I would just have the "wedding" ceremony/party, WITHOUT the legal marriage aspect. Then he can go back to Scotland and continue with the K-1 process. As long as you're not legally married, you can still get a K-1. Then once he gets the visa, he comes over and you get legally married at the court house immediately. You'd probably only have a couple of months between your "wedding" date and your legal marriage date. I honestly can't fathom starting the whole process over again at this point. You'd be putting yourselves all the way back at the start, and prolonging the time apart if you start over again with a CR-1. At this point if you stick with the K-1, he'll most likely be here by the new year. If you start over with the CR-1, you can't even START that process until after your wedding and it would probably be next summer before he'd be here for good.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSo frustrating!

It is probably a newbie question. But how can you ask to expedite the petition? I just have never heard it for K-1 Visa.


You've never heard of it because it's nearly impossible to get. The only people who manage to get expedited on a regular basis are active military members who have an upcoming deployment. Getting an expedite for any other reason is extremely rare.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDS-230-Needed for a K-1 Visa or not?

According to the Official Instruction sheet from the U.S. Embassy in Manila (here)- http://photos.state....3__rtf2_001.pdf ...........There is no mention of the DS-230 form, but it IS listed on the U.S. Embassy's main page for Visa documentation (here)-http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/19452/public/Revised%20K1%20Instruction%20Packet%20_3__rtf2_001.pdf It is confusing as to if it's required. I already sent ALL the documents my fiance needs--according to the 1st mentioned instructing sheet, but did not send a DS-230 form. Any help would appreciated :blink:



°°° Aquí en Colombia, con el paquete 3, te informan que para que se te fije la fecha de entrevista debes enviar a la embajada 2 formas: DS-2100 (viene adjunta al paquete 3) y DS-230 parte I(Solicitud de Visa de Inmigrante y Registro de Extranjero- Datos Biográficos). La DS-230 debes descargarla de la pagina de la embajada del país donde aplicas.

Ambas formas deben ser diligenciadas y firmadas pero debes tener cuidado porque la DS-230 tiene dos partes y solo te piden la parte I...si quieres puedes enviar la parte II diligenciada pero no la firmes porque esa la debes firmar en frente del cónsul cuando te lo pida, el dia de la entrevista.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWithdraw Petition or let it Expire
I would withdraw your petition. Check your local area and see if there are any Filipino social associations. Maybe you might have better luck going to local association and participating in activities and maybe just maybe you will have a love materialize by what you have in common.

I understand your desire to want the warmth of the Filipina culture. When you fall in love with a Filipina woman its one of the most beautiful things your heart will feel. But you have to let love find you. You can't go shopping for Love and expect it to be genuine.

That old wives tale "When you stop looking so hard for Love....Love has a way of finding you!"

The CO has the packet that your petitioner submitted. My Fiancee and I went with the policy: Its better to have originals with her for the interview in case they ask. Better that you have it in case they ask then to assume and now you get delayed for more information. So it may seem redundant but better safe than sorry

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiance has mild tb
My Fiancee had a mild case of TB 6 years ago and was treated by her physician (she brought all documentation of treatment with her to medical) but from what I understand and what people are recommending here is that you should go to ST Lukes for treatment. If you don't, what will happen is that you will undergo 6 months of treatment at her local physician to then go to St Lukes who will then perform the SMEAR test (3 days) and SPUTUM test (2 months) on top of the 6 months of treatment. Why? St Lukes is responsible to make sure that you are TB cleared and if they didn't do the treatment than they won't trust the results provided by an outside agency. If you use your local physician you could be looking at up to 8 months total process time where if you use St. Lukes it will be completed after 6 Months.

Hi Tongan! I am so glad to hear I am not in this alone!

I e-mailed the Suva Embassy at ConsularSuva@state.gov and got a very quick response the next morning.

Are you working towards the K1 visa or something different? Regardless I may be able to answer your question, I've been madly obsessively gathering information for months now.


Hello,

I also had to deal with the consulate in Fiji, with no success. I e-mailed and phoned them several times, but with no reply. My situation may be simular to yours as I am also trying to bring in a loved one from the Is. of Tonga.

Hi all!

I am the only person on VJ (that I know of) dealing with the Suva, Fiji Embassy for the Kingdom of Tonga. (There is no American Embassy in Tonga, so we use Fiji). Because of this, I don't know a lot about what to expect and so on. I have the contact information for the consulate, my question is this: If I make an attempt to contact the consolute to ask questions (about the doctor we will need to see in Tonga, and about forms) are they likely to respond? I know this may be a question that can only be answered on a case to case, consulate specific basis, but in general what do you think?

I want to ask who the approved physician is for the medical exam and about where to pay fees. Or, is there a better way to go about getting this info?

Thank you for your help! Maybe VJ can begin posting embassy info for Fiji after my process is complete!
