K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresemployers letter at london interview
To the OP, you are better off heading to the regional forum for the UK since things are embassy specific at this point.

There's also a large 'NOA2 to Interview' thread at the top of the page which can be accessed by clicking here

For the I-134 the affidavit requires two pieces of supporting information,

If your USC petitioner wants to request copies of tax transcripts, the iPhone app (free) will actually do it, and they'll generally arrive in a week.

Just to add, YOU as the beneficiary MUST have signed original copies with you for the interview . Hate to sound patronising but this one does come up and I'd rather not see anyone denied for it!

You may be subject to additional scrutiny. If you are from a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program, you may no longer be eligible and may have to apply for a visa.

Was the petition denied, revoked, canceled by you, canceled by consular officer or left to expire?

You might find that you are better off asking in your regional subforum. Many things after NOA2 become country specific and some embassies require more work

Here's a link to the Philippines regional sub forum

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEAD before marriage?
You can file for EAD before marriage as a K1 entrant, however it expires when the I-94 expires, which is 90 days after arrival in the country. Incidentally, once you apply, it takes about 90 days for it to be approved and processed. So, it's pointless.

You would have to marry and then file for EAD with your Adjustment of Status (You can file separately but... no point, makes no difference and will cost you an additional EAD processing fee, It's free when you file for AOS). Again, takes about 90 days to process


Option 1 seems to be your best bet here

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChange of address at POE

Sorry about that! I edited my previous post. You don't need to file the I-865 (I forgot that was at AOS stage, after the I-864). ^__^;;

In that case, I think it would be best to just file the AR-11 after you've actually moved in on the sixth ;)


Excellent. Thank you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChange of address at POE

My husband (then fiancé) moved after our I-129F was approved so he updated his address when we were at the embassy stage (he updated it when he called the embassy to schedule my interview) so I'm not sure if you can change it at POE...

Do you happen to have a copy of the lease? Is it a joint lease? If you do, you can always bring that to show that you will be living together at the new address.

OR you could file the AR-11 AND I-865 (Sponsor's Change of Address) after POE - you have 10 days to file the AR-11 and 30 days for the I-865 after moving. :)


We won't get the lease until the sixth and I'll be in the country by then. Since this is a K1, she filled out an I-134, would she need to do an I-865 since she didn't do an I-864?
photomileMaleWales2012-08-15 14:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChange of address at POE
Now that we've been approved, the fiancee and I have decided to put a deposit down on a new apartment, but obviously this changes our address.

We don't move in until the sixth, but I will arrive on the fifth of the month.

As I understand it I'm supposed to enter at POE with my current address details, and then the day afterwards file an AR-11. (Do I have to do anything else by the way or is that it) however, on the I-94 card you would need to put your residence address.

Is it possible to go through POE and ask for my address to be updated there and then? Or would this result in a refusal of entry because details are different?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa one time entry. Is it ok to visit other country before entering US?
The K1 visa is a fiancee visa. You will be denied entry if you are married before you enter the United States.

If you wish to marry before entrance to the USA, then you will need to retract your application for a K1 visa , marry, then apply for a spousal visa (I-130)

If you enter the USA as a fiancee, and then leave before marriage or application and receipt of an Advanced Parole document, then you will be denied re-entry to the United States as you would be entering on a tourist visa with the intent to remain. You would therefore have to file for a spousal visa and wait for this to be processed before your spouse can re-enter the USA.

The K1 is a single use visa and is designed for fiancees ONLY

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEmbassy may have Lost Petition, What to do?
The NVC does indeed give a deadline for petitions and they have an expiration date. This can be extended but as far as I know it can only be extended to one year maximum. I would escalate your query as others have said to try and confirm but at this point I would be making sure you met the requirements for a K visa petition in preparation to start again

As others have said, it's not a problem, but do make sure the state you are wanting to marry in will allow you to marry without a Social Security Number. Some states do require this as well as a mandatory waiting period, but on the whole, nope, no problems!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis my fiance a fraud?

Ok i have read through your comments and i really appreciate the advice. I am now preparing a letter to send to the consulate. I told him this morning that we are done and i can't continue with him because he doesn't respect me. He said i am accusing him of things i don't know anything about. He also said that i can't end it how, because i already signed with the US Government to petition him. I told him that is not true , i can withdraw the petition and then he started to say why suddenly i am acting this way and all he wants is to be with me. So i asked him what would happen then if i came to Jamaica to live with him, he said jobs are hard to get and i wont make enough money and we wont survive and that i wont have my comfortable living and that it is not good that baby stays in that environment. He started to basically tell me everything that was wrong with Jamaica and why it wont be good for us and we wont be able to make ends meet. I told him i have my savings to start up with and he said that won't do because life is hard and the government take big taxes. What do you guys think? Thank you so much again for helping me through this time.

-Kristina


This is going to be a hugely tough decision to make. No matter what the evidence is in front of you, you petitioned for him because you love or loved him. Everyone here has jumped (with good reason) onto the fraud train, and personally yes I agree that this person seems to be fraudulent. However, this is a very big decision, a tough one and one only you can make. Be certain that it is what you want to do because there isn't a way of turning back.

For the record, yes I agree with the suspicion that this person is fraudulent and I personally think you should withdraw the petition. If he is unwilling to support you in a move to Jamaica, then to me it's fairly clear what his intentions are or were. However I, as well as everyone else here, know full well that this is a very difficult process to go through, there is a lot of stress and heartache. I honestly think when it comes to this. you need to sit and talk with people who are close to you for a while and be certain of the decision you are going to make and once you do, commit to it. You've had good reason to be suspicious already and there is clearly doubt in your mind about this persons intentions. You've done very well to get this far and you're certainly stronger than I am. The final ties are hard to cut, but sometimes it takes someone close to your heart to remind you that you're doing the right thing.

Unless you have access to their internal IT team, there is nothing you can do. Errors like this are likely caused by the server being busy.

"I'm a little concerned as our I-797 Letter of Action (receipt EAC-09-50333) says that the Approval Notice is valid from September 9, 2009 to December 9, 2009. Does this mean that both my medical and interview MUST take place before 12/9/2009? I've got my medical scheduled for December 15, 2009 and have not heard about my interview as yet. Does this mean that we won't be valid or have to start this process all over? Or as long as we've communicated to the embassy in time it's no longer an issue?"

The above was an e-mail I sent to the London Consular and my reply was this:

"If your fiance petition has expired by the time of your visa interview, your fiance will be required to provide a notarized statement, indicating his intention to marry you within 90 days of your arrival in the United States."

However I am still not clear - does this mean my fiance has to get a notarised statement to the London Embassy before the 5th December????

I'm starting to panic! :S

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Approved, Next Steps.....
We are just filling out AOS forms and are confused about a few things.....

Originally during our NOA2 we had to fill out the 134 for all the money stuff to show I wouldn't become a public charge etc, now that we've been granted the fiance visa, I'm in the states and we are married, we're filling out our AOS and now have to fill out an 864. We originally sent in the past three years of HIS taxes (2006, 2007, 2008) in order to get this far; we're worried as we just filled out the 2009 and it's lower than the poverty guideline even though he's been running his own business because of tax deductions as well as alimony to his ex wife.

Should we send in all the same information we sent in LAST time with this new 864? Why the change from 134 to 864? If we send in the old documents with the 864, and they say they need more from this year, or that he needs a cosponser, will that mean I have to leave the country if this is taking place while my fiance visa expires (even though we are married)? Would we just have to refile, or get his parents to cosponser?

I'd say looking at others, from the time your congressman talks to USCIS you gotta give them 15 days to approve you! I hope it will be the case when it comes to you. But you are absolutely right, you need to show them that you're still there and still waiting :)

We are sending our request exactly on June 20. That's when they say they got our petition and that's when we hit 5 months mark according to USCIS status update :) That leaves us another 12 days of waiting...


Probably. We sent the request Monday but we are hoping they will tell us if they have even contacted them by today. I hope everyone emails the congressman and the visa centers the second they are outside normal timeframes. Someone needs a kick up the butt!

Wow I admire you! I think 4 months is a long wait and 2 years? You must really love each other!!! Only for that you should get that visa like right now :)

What Sabi said. Good luck to you! You need it now!

Well, today is the day we call the USCIS back to try and get a service request (Technically we have to wait until Wednesday next week but we're going to try it anyway, can't hurt) and chase the congressman.

No we haven't received anything from the Vermont Service Center email address, nor have we received anything from the ombudsman we emailed, although it's highly coincidental that the day after we email there's a flood of approvals... I wonder eh?

Good luck everyone. Lets at least hope Friday goes out with a bang!

If it doesn't, at least you can take comfort in the fact you can now shout and scream (not literally) at the USCIS. It's not much, but it'll feel like progress!

The fiancé letter of intent. Some people say it doesn't need to be notarized, others say it does... Do you think it'd raise some eyebrows in the interview if the 1st set of letters of intent for i129f packet are notarized and the set for the interview aren't???


For the UK? Shouldn't need to be notarized. Once you get past NOA2 it all becomes very country specific. As for interview? Eh, I doubt it. Worst that happens is they approve but on condition of receiving a notarized copy
