Middle East and North Africaplease help me- cannot meet
Ok if you're asking about the I-129F and filing for a Fiancee visa, then one of the key requirements is that you must have met at least once in the two years prior to filing.

This can be waived but it is exceptionally rare for this to happen and given your only constraints (that you have outlined) are your religion and your financial situations, it's unlikely they would waive this requirement.

On the financial side, if you're unable to afford a trip to Iran to meet then you need to look at the financial requirements for the visa to ensure you can either afford it or have a sponsor available.

It is possible to apply for a visitor visa from iran and it may be worth asking in the Visitors visa forums for some assistance or advice

Yes this sounds like the final step. Your police report should be given at the medical if I remember correctly. Make sure the USC sends you a copy of the NOA2

Do you mean do it in the UK embassy in the US?

No - you would need to go where your file is at currently. (UK)



i wasn't very clear i apologize - this whole thing is so confusing to me!

i'm in the UK right now and my Fiance has filed over in the states.... we are visiting back and forth for the time being but it sucks. i thought about what would happen if i went out there for 90 days again on the waiver (which is what i've done before - it's been 6 months since my last visit to the states, he actually just went back home today after a weeks visit) and my dates for medical and interview came through.... i guess i would just have to come back to the uk for it.....

Not a problem.

Just have strong ties back home and be honest.

(Umit told the CBP she was in process of the K-1 and they had no issues with it)

She had return ticket info (and our complete k-1 package/noa1) - and a letter from her boss that this was a vacation. they just wanted to see the ticket info.




Can I just ask if you know anything about the length of time I can stay for? I mean I was planning on staying the whole 90 days...... would that be a problem do you think?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting fiance during process....
Hey all

I've got a question about visiting my fiance during the process of a K1. We're more than a month since we received the NOA1 and am in the waiting period for NOA2. The last time I came to the US was under the waiver program in January -March, during which time the INS officer grilled me (I was unprepared for it and so was a bit of a mess) and said that he'd let me in this time but I'd have to wait about 6 months before trying again (his words were "INS and love don't go together" actually).

My fiance came and visited me for a week last month and I'd like to come visit for the month of August. (It's now been about 6 months since my last visit)

My question is: should I tell the interviewing officer that we're in this process and give him the case number? If they get weird with me again. Or should I just attempt to say I'm visiting but not mention it? Will visiting before the NOA2 change my status at all and make it any worse for us? It seems he has no problems visiting our side.

I should've explained better - Donna is here in the states with me for a visit until October 20th; if we have 3 months from now, is there any way of her meeting with someone here in the US and not having to go home?
D_GFemaleWales2009-09-13 13:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresjust got approval in mail...
Ok guys, I'm a tad confused.

I just got the petition for approval which is listed as valid from 9/9/2009 to 12/9/2009.

This is the text:

"
The above petition has been approved and forwarded to the listed consulate. Please contact the consulate with any questions about visa insurance or if you would like them to forward the petition to a different consulate. The petitioner can also file form I 824, Aplication for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, with this office to request that we notify another consulate of the petition approval for visa processing purposes. THIS FORM IS NOT A VISA AND MAY NOT BE USED IN PLACE OF A VISA.

When the person this petition is for enters the US based on this visa, he or she will be admitted for ninety (90) days in order to marry the petitioner, and based on that marriage file for adjustment to permanent resident status on Form I-485. The form to apply for adjustment can be obtained at any local USCIS office or USCIS forms center. Please attach a copy of this notice to the adjustment application when you file it.

If the petitioner and the fiance do not marry within these 90 days, status will expire, and he or she will be in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act if he or she does not depart. An extension cannot be granted. It is requested that the petitioner inform his or her local USCIS office if he or she determines that the marriage will not take place within the 90 day period. Please attach a copy of this notice to any correspondence about this case.
"


So - what does this mean exactly? Ie my thoughts were that the english consulate will get info and we'll have to do all that, etc - but it says we have to get married within the 90 days listed (til December). Donna is here in the US with me right now til October, so I imagine she'll have to go home and then come back?

Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK2 and 134 question; need help with clarification
Hey all - this is more of an advice question; I've done my research and read up on the various topics here about the 134, co-sponsorship, whether it's legally binding, etc.

My circumstances are a bit weird - in other words it's probably the *worse* time for me to fill this info out, and I'm not sure the best way of handling this other than asking my parents to sponsor my fiance.

When we sent in the original request for k1 I was a fulltime employee of a 120k job, though alimony and child support took a grand total of 51k a year, and I had 30k in the bank. In March of this year I lost my job and, since moving to be near my child, fulltime positions aren't as they were in the metro area for what I do - but have been going back to the freelance projects (I was a computer consultant for 10 years). Since being laid off, my 30k savings have nearly all gone to pay alimony and bills. Under my accountant's suggestion even while being self-employed I've taken unemployment during this time - so already I'm a 'public charge' -- so obviously I couldn't claim sponsorship of my fiance as is?

What is confusing as well - if I showed my last year taxes filed as it states as self-employed sponsors to do - I'm still listed as a fulltime employee.

So I'm assuming that in my case, having someone else sponsor is much better than myself?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAdoption certificate & verification letter?
Well what do you know? I have now received an RFE from the NVC as my birth certificate (mentioned above) has not been accepted.

I guess I am going to have to 'demand' the GRO send me a written document explaining that my (pre-adoptive) birth certificate is not available, after all!!

I'll add an affidavit from my father as he adopted me aged 5 months, if that will help. But I tried pushing the GRO for something in writing before, and they kept saying my birth certificate is recognised as a legal document. It is used to obtain passports, driving licenses, etc. and should be good enough for the US Immigration they told me. What a fool I was to listen to that. :(

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAdoption certificate & verification letter?
Hi all,

I seem to recall reading in the info from US Immigration, that I will need to supply a letter of verification from the GRO (General Register Office) alonside my adoption certificate to verify that it is accepted as a birth certificate. (I should add this is for my forthcoming documentation required for the Embassy interview.)

Yesterday I called the GRO and they told me that in the UK, my adoption certificate is clased as my birth certificate and that they have no such knowledge of any such letters being formatted for US Immigration visa applications. Therefore, as far as they are concerned, my adoption certificate is good enough.

Is anyone able to shed a little light on this as to whether this could cause us any problems with our application?

well, my brother waited from 8am to 6pm in my flat that i had so rudely forgotten to fill with er... any food at all! and at 7.30pm, when everyone had given up hope, and i was walking back to the tube station from coffee in chelsea with sara80, my phone rang - it was here!

when i got home i was terrified to even open the plastic envelope it came in, but figured - ive gotta get in somehow to get my passport! i was also very skeptical because my name was written incorrectly TWICE (in two diferent ways) on the front. i didn't think that was a good sign... tentatively opened the outside envelope, saw another brown envelope inside, and my passport just lying on top.

the envelope is marked

The United States of America - OFFICIAL BUSINESS

IMPORTANT NOTICE

To be opened only by the United States Immigration of Public Health Officer

This sealed package must be surrenedered to the US immigration officer at the Port of Entry into the United States

Do not pack it - it must be hand carried


And there you go!!! I hope you all have yours in your hand very very soon.

Good luck to sara and mark tomorrow, you both rock.

Well Photomile... I feel like there are two ways to look at this situation:

1) Perhaps it is because our case is not cut and dry, we have both been divorced and Rick is petitioning for me as well as my two minor children, other than that everything else is normal.. no police records for either of us and Rick works for the Dept. of Defense, so it is not a support issue at all.

OR:

2) Our adjudicator happens to be a lazy &*#$ with no feelings at all, that naps in his cubicle as much as possible throughout his work day, takes the maximum sick days and vacation days that he can.. and just really hates his job. Our petition is sitting in a mile high pile on his desk!! :bonk:

:lol: :rofl:

Either way... sucks for us!! :huh:


I know from the interview thread that someone did with an adjudicator that yeah, those take a bit longer but... this long?
