K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	China Time line	Guangzhou is the busiest consulate in the world. They normally take 3 - 4 months to get to your case after NVC sends it to them. We were lucky enough to go from NOA2 to P3 in only a month, but we're the exception rather than the rule.	Kevin&Leilei	Male	China	2009-07-01 09:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Am I just lucky? Process seems to be going quickly.	Congrats. We also had less than a month from NOA2 to receiving packet 3. I had been expecting a 3 to 4 month wait, so of course we are not ready to send packet 3 back to Guangzhou.	Kevin&Leilei	Male	China	2009-05-04 04:56:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Expedited I-130 How do i apply?	Thanks to Visa Journey Members, we have learned a lot from this site. We are almost ready to file for my wife's I-130 but have a few questions that we can hopefully clarify with your help: 1. I've read the criteria for expedited processing and I want to give it a try. But how do I actually apply for it? Should I send it with the packet or should I send it separately? Is there another form I should fill out? 2. On the I-130 or G-325a form, her address for the last 5 years was asked. She's been living in the States for the last 5 years, should I send other documentations to show her legal status here? She had an H1B visa then. I was going to file for her I-130 when her father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly and had to go home to Manila with our 2 american born kids. Her H1B visa expired and now we are separated and she and the kids have to wait for this petition to be approved. So now the question again is, should I send other documentation to show her legal H1B status while here in the States? Thank you in advance for your comments.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Getting ready for NVC	Hi, I am just collecting the documents needed for NVC but have some questions I am hoping you can help me with... 1. I have been living in the US with my family for the past 3 years with an H1B visa (working visa). Will I need police clearance from the United States too? I am now in the Philippines, but have been here for less than 3 months. I am getting a police clearance from here for the past years I have been living here... but I dont know if I should get one from the States as well since that is where I have been for the past 3 years. 2. I have been filing my taxes in the United States while I was there on a working visa. I was the one earning while my hubby was studying. Would anyone know how much income is needed for him to be able to claim me? Thanks for your help! GiNi	macbsa	Male	Philippines	2010-04-05 02:37:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Notice from USCIS	We got the reminder letter too, that they explicitly told us at the AOS interview we wouldn't get. We kept the original reminder sheet we got at the AOS interview stuck on the refrigerator for nearly two years. It even lasted through a move.	Kevin&Leilei	Male	China	2011-11-20 19:08:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Baltimore service center	Our NOA was dated November 10th, and our biometrics appointment was December 30th. We didn't try a walk-in, because it's nearly a two hour drive each way for us, and we didn't want to get turned away. We did show up about an hour early, and they acted like they couldn't care less, so my impression was that they'd do walk-ins no problem. But don't quote me on that.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	One Year Extension Letter when applying for removal of Green Card conditions	Do you have to have your biometrics done before leaving the country? We'll only be leaving for a week and a half, hopefully it won't be scheduled while we are gone! It doesn't have to be done before leaving the country. If they schedule it for when you'll be gone, try a walk-in, and explain that you'll be away on that date.	Kevin&Leilei	Male	China	2012-05-04 22:14:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 November 2011 Filers	I took my wife in for her biometrics appointment today. We got there about 45 minutes early, but they took her anyway. The place was practically empty. We probably could've done an early walk-in, but I didn't want to drive 90+ minutes to have her turned away.	Kevin&Leilei	Male	China	2011-12-30 20:27:00

Marc I hope that's not going to be a legal wedding. You know you have to be legally married in the US when you use a K-1, right? If you are legally married in Cambodia, she will not be allowed into the US, and you'll have to start all over again with a K-3.	Kevin&Leilei	Male	China	2009-01-23 21:08:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	APPROVED in Cambodia!!	Congratulations! FYI... the K-1 is a US visa, it has nothing to do with Cambodia's government.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	before k1 interview can she be pregnet?	"United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa." http://guangzhou-ch....instruction.pdf I know technically a K-1 is a nonimmigrant visa, but Guangzhou sends this sheet in it's P4. For the OP, pregnancy will only help you in this case by providing additional evidence of a bona fide relationship.	Kevin&Leilei	Male	China	2009-06-12 11:17:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November '08 K-1 Filers	QUOTE (piotrek @ Aug 10 2009, 10:25 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi All, Quick question regarding the POE procedure. I'm planning on going to Poland and travelling back with my fiancee so that she doesn't get 'lost' on the way to the US. ;-) What's the best way to proceed at the point of entry (Newark, N.J.)? 1) Let her go through the visitor section on her own (she doesn't really speak English, although she's been in the US before) 2) Go through the visitor section with her (I am a US citizen) and help translate 3) Take her with me through the 'Citizen' section. She'll have to fill out a customs declaration but which one? (the green one or the white one). Congrats to those already together and good luck to those still waiting! Thanks for the help! P I took my fiancee with me through the US Citizen section (Dulles International). We got no complaints. I think the green entry form is for VWP entries only. Since she's entering on a K-1, she'll need the white I-94.	Kevin&Leilei	Male	China	2009-08-10 19:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November '08 K-1 Filers	QUOTE (Mike & Miche @ Aug 9 2009, 04:25 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, the day has finally come. Miche arrives Houston in less than 2 hours!! Ive been in Singapore the past 9 days, arriving home just 12 hours ago myself (35 hour trip). My body clock is so screwed up at this point, along with the anticipation of seeing her walk through those doors from Customs...totally cant sleep. LOL. I bought a bunch of small US and BR flags which I lined the driveway with that she will see upon arriving home. We will also be closing on our brand new home tomorrow morning. Thanks again to my fellow VJ'rs. Everyone who is still waiting....remain steadfast in this path; your day will come. KEVIN/LEILEI: How is everything going since your 08/05 entry? ELLIE: How about you guys? Hope your entry went well. Ours was a breeze. Leilei is having some problems adjusting to the time difference (12 hours) and to US food. It's only been a few days though, and I hope she gets through it soon. I bought her a rice cooker, and she's going to cook Chinese style food for most of our meals, I think. I have no problem with this. We got our marriage license a couple days ago, and we're planning to marry on September 9th (09-09-09). Nine means "forever" in Chinese culture.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	November '08 K-1 Filers	Thanks Ellie. Good luck to you too. My fiancee is from China, the land of weird-yet-awesome-tasting food. I've had lots of opportunities to try things that most people from Western countries would think were strange, or downright disgusting. (I did shy away from the whole scorpions though. Too much shell, not enough meat.) And you know what? Almost all of it has been good. I've come to the conclusion that the Chinese can make anything taste good. I've always looked forward to my visits here, not only to see my fiancee, but for the FOOD.	Kevin&Leilei	Male	China	2009-08-02 21:59:00
