K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHelp
Can you apply for an extention on the K-1 Visa? We have run into an issue and can not been seen at the embassy for an interview until May 14, 2009 and our Visa ends on May 16, 2009. Just want to get an extention to make sure we have enough time to make travel arrangements, etc.

Hello Everyone

I sent my honeybun all the need documents for his interview that we thought would take place on April 7, 2009 however it was re-scheduled so I was wondering about the I-134. Should I do a new one and submit more recent pay stubs? Our interview is going to be on May 13, 2009 and the information will be over 30 days old.

I will be sending more verifications of phone records, emails, etc., to support our on going relationship in addition to that which I have already sent for the April 7, 2009 date.

Any helpful hints with the interview?

Thanks


When they rescheduled you, did they say anything about the I129F expiring since it'll be just about 4 months? I wonder how strict they are about that.


We were told that as long as we had an appointment the consulates office will take care of an extention for us, if needed.

Gabriel went for his interview this morning and said everything was wonderful.

I was worried because this weekend I received an e-mail from the Consulate that said that Gabriel's interview date is August 20th and it referred me to the Packet 3 attached to the e-mail and said Gabriel should contact the medical provider they listed to get his medical. Apparently, the Nigerian Consulate began a new process on July 1st in which no one is allowed to pick up their packets in person, they have to wait to receive their interview dates by e-mail. But Gabriel had picked up his packet 3 on June 16th and was given July 20th as his interview date. So when I got the e-mail, and it didn't say his interview had been "rescheduled to August 20th," I didn't know if it was just a snafu or what. So I told Gabriel to go to his scheduled interview date and to just wait and see what happens.

So Gabriel arrived at the Consulate at 5:20 a.m. At 7:00 he was let in. He first showed his interview letter and they checked to see if his name was on the list. Obviously his name was still on that list, so they then gave him a paper with a number on it, and then he went to pay his visa fee. He then had to wait a while, and then was called into cue. He waited in cue for a while and then was called by a very nice lady who collected his receipt and card, and immediately started asking him questions.

1) Who filed your petition?
2) How did you meet? (We met because I had formed a Foundation and asked a Nigerian friend of mine if he had any contacts in Nigeria who I could work with on an HIV/AIDS project. My friend said he knew someone in Delta State who had an NGO and gave me Gabriel's website address. I then contacted him.)
3) Who is this friend? What does he do for a living? When's the last time he visited Nigeria?
4) How long have Gabriel and I been talking?
5) Have I ever visited Nigeria?
6) Why have I not visited Nigeria?
7) Who is Emmanuel (Emmanuel is Gabriel's brother whose number was on my phone records.
8) What proof do you have for us? Gabriel took out pictures, cards, letters, phone records, receipts, travel documents, but she said she only wanted to see the pictures. He tried to also give the cards, but she said, no I don't need to look at that, just give me a few minutes. She took the pictures and came back shortly with a slip that says he has been approved.

He received his approval around 12:00 noon his time. Told to pick up his visa in 8 days (July 28th)

PRAISE GOD!

Thanks to all VJ Members who have shown me support through this process.

Does anyone know that when considering if you have enough income (I-134 Affidavit of Support) for your family size, do they consider your gross or net income? Called USCIS on two seperate occasions and guess what- two diffrent answers?? Can anyone help?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-864

Yes, because the I-134 is not used for adjusting status. Your question indicates you have not yet studied the AOS guide or I-485 form instructions. To do so is critical to your ultimate success.


As you have stated, I have not gone through everything yet. I took my first look tonight and began to read the requirements. I understand how important it is to gain all the facts prior to filing, so don't worry. I just sat the form down from reading it and walked away with this question. Thanks for your help.
Des Loves CindyFemaleNigeria2010-01-20 22:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-864

Yes you will need to fill out the I 864 as the I -134 only required 100% of poverty and the I-864 need 125%. So you will have to show more money than before . I am not sure about the details of using a child's income but I am sure someone will know. Are you back at work ? If so you should be able to argue that it was a temporary condition. You can also use assets if you have any. They must be fairly liquid to be considered.


Yes, back at work and doing well. Thanks for the information it was very helpful.

Hey Everyone

Been a while since I have been here but its that time to prepare for our next steps in our journey. We need to get that tempory green card and I have a few questions. If someone could help it would appreciate it.

Just wanting to know something. We will be filing to get our tempoary green card which requires the I-864. Our I-134 has not expired as of yet and I was the sole sponsor. Do I have to complete the I-864 since the I-134 has not expired? I am worried because I did not work for 4 months last year due to a injury and income is lot less then I made through wages when I file the initial I-134 I filed.

If my minor children have income and I want to use this, what do I do. Both of my children are disabled and the income comes in my name for them. I have stubs but this income is not taxable so its not on my tax return.

I just want to make sure we have covered everything, just in case I need to get another sponsor.
