K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG325A Error Made - Worried!
While July is still a possible month for your wedding (I believe so, as long as your case is straight forward), I agree with Catica that trying to call the USCIS and inform them about the mistake you've made would be a good idea. It would safe enough time to send the correct G325A right away instead of waiting for the RFE e-mails/letters from USCIS. Good luck and don't worry too much :)

The embassy? So.....I assume your petition has been approved? If so, you have 4 months from day of approval to submit everything before the NOA2 expires. I've heard about the approval validity got extended automatically for another 4 months without the petitioner/beneficiary sending any kind of forms to have it extended but.....not really sure. Kinda hard to understand the situation since you don't have your timeline.

Anyways, I hope you guys will be okay because it was not you who delayed to submit things to the embassy but it was them who are late in responding/processing. Wishing you two all the best. I hope someone else could help you guys. William33?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI am starting a prayer brigade for non-stop approval of NOA2s especially for those who have long been waiting and for all other approvals you
Dear God,
You know all of those hurdles that my fiance and I have gone through and STILL GOING to face. I am not, by far, a saint in Your eyes and probably not even have the right to kneel and beg for Your compassion. But I am helpless and only You who could guide me through this.
God, I love and miss him a lot.... and I can't live without him. Please help us, so we could be together and never be parted again. And please shine your light onto my family's hearts, help them to understand that he is the one for me....

Amen.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi129f questions
There are pros and contras about this. But I thought the question was not on I-129F but on DS 156? Or....maybe I totally forgot about it...
Anywayz,
If you check on the "example forms" on VJ, it's typed "With Work Authorization, Employer Unknown" there. I typed that too on mine. I have a plan on going to uni there too but since we're not sure when I could do that, and we'd rather have me workin a.s.a.p instead, I ticked NO on the question about schooling. If they asked about it, I'd just say I plan on workin in the USA after I get married to my fiance and get my EAD. I dunno if doing it this way would help me get the temporary EAD on POE. But I don't think it matters anyways.

If you're not sure, you could just tick NO on both of the questions. I don't think they would ask about it. Even if they asked, you could say you don't have any plan to work nor go to school there. If you decided to work/go to school in the US later on, it wouldn't be a problem. They wouldn't pull that #######. Excuse my language.

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespre I-129F filing questions
i HAD a bank account but a credit card company had a civil judgement against me and wiped out every dime i had saved in the account. i can provide a photocopy of the large sum of cash i have in my possession though. --> Um...ya gonna copy your money? Hm.... I don't think that's gonna work....

today, i bought a prepay credit card that i can add money to at any time i need. hopefully, thatll come in handy later. wouldnt the tax form from my employer be sufficient enough to show i can provide for my fiancee ? ---> It depends on your fiance's consulate. If they need it, they would request for it when they send you packet 3. My consulate clearly stated that they needed my fiance's bank letter and also his W2 and 1040.

if a co-sponsor is needed, i would use my parents. however, they are in the middle of a bankruptcy, would that be a problem ? ---> Can they show a good amount deposited every month in their bank account as well as tax forms showing that they live well above poverty guidelines? If yes, I think it'll work.

on my cell phone, whenever i need to buy time, i go down and buy a $15/30/50/75 card. but that doesnt prove that ive called her or she has called me.
---> true, you can not prove that you've called her/vice versa. That's why you SHOW those cards to them. "Hey, I called her using these, so we don't have any phone call records". Ever thought of sending her postcards or snail mail? She can use those as evidences also. Plus e-mails and chat logs, would be more than enough.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespre I-129F filing questions
ok, some additional info:

i do not have a bank account or any credit cards, therefore i gave the money to my mother and used her debit card to make the airline ticket purchase.
--> Use your itineraries, showing your name as the passenger should be ok. And please DO get a bank account. Your fiance's embassy might ask for copies of your bank account to show your monthly deposits. If you can not provide, you might need a co-sponsor.

i have a prepaid cell phone, which does not give me a monthly statement. Monique was using calling cards to call me, so again, no monthly statement.
--> What's a prepaid call like in the US? In my country, you'd have to get some kind of vouchers everytime you wanna refill your credit. If you have to do the same thing, keep your vouchers, they can be used as evidences, and so are your fiance's calling cards. I have heard couples submitting these and they had no problem also.

due to computer crashes, important internet chat logs are non-existant. our emails speak nothing of marriage but only of a countdown as to when i was to fly up to Canada.
---> You still have time to chat and e-mail each other until the interview comes right? It won't be until several months from now. Just provide some proofs of having met in person in within 2 years and maybe a few of evidence of ongoing relationships with your I-129F. They actually would not need the latter one until the interview. So maybe you wanna start talkin about your marriage and all those lovey dovey things. But anyways, your e-mails do not have to talk about marriage, as long as it shows that you two are communicating, and in love.

about the Canada Immigration, the border patrol officer that did all of the paperwork is actually a relative of Monique's, would a notarized affidavit from her verifying i was there and Monique and i met be sufficient primary evidence ?
---> If she is willing to make the affidavit, I don't see any reason why you guys shouldn't get it! :)

as i understand it, photos have to have dates printed on the front. handwritten dates on the back are unacceptable. am i wrong ?
---> Yea you're wrong :P Lots of us wrote the dates and other remarks by pen behind the pics.


Thanks again !
Dale
Good luck, Dale!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespre I-129F filing questions
About children and background check, I dunno what to say. Someone else like Capt. Ewok could prolly help you with those.

About evidences.
- The pictures, you can put some remarks behind the picture yourself. Put the place and date of where/when the pics were taken, and names of people on the pictures.
- And if you keep your boarding passes/itineraries, you will be cool.
- Get copies of your passport pages where you get the stamps of enerting and leaving Canada

Those 3, should be sufficient to proof that you have met your fiance in within 2 years. My fiance and I did not know about I-129F either so we only submitted 4 pictures of us (my fiance wrote the date and all by himself), some of our itineraries (not all, we lost them), and copies of stamped passport pages (mine only, cuz my fiance traveled with his military ID Card).

Other evidences : did you call her or chat with her? what about e-mails? Get your phone bills and records (highlighted every single phone calls you made for her - she should do the same thing), print out your and her e-mails and chat logs.

Good luck.

Important but not THAT important. If he could like...contact his former work places and ask about it, would be best, tho. But if not, just put the approximate months..make a smart guess. I believe they would not make any fuss over working history.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp for this newby
You gotta go to www.uscis.gov and create an account with them. They will only e-mail you when your I-129F is approved tho.... Use the case number seen behind your cleared check to check on your case's status. You will know when you're touched and so on.

And yea, if you file to Vermont, usually it'll get approved pretty quick...haha.... sweetness.

Lucky duckies!

How does one receive email notices? I put my email address on my I129F, but will that ensure I receive emails from them?

My check just clear yesterday...does that mean a NOA1 is not far behind?

Sorry to piggyback on this thread, but I feel dumb starting a new thread for such s small question.



Oh, forgot to say congrats to the Chet & Eve... hahaha... CONGRATS!! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresnew to K-1 visa stuff, please help!
* NOA 1 - Notice of Action - is a letter that you get from the Service Centre, stating that they have gotten your petition and will start processing
* NOA 2 - Notice of Approval - it's self explanatory. You will get it when the USCIS approves your petition

My fiance and I lived in Japan for 3 years. All that I had to do, was to get the Police Certificate from the closest Japanese Consuate after I came back to Indonesia. I got it in within 1.5 months. It wouldn't be a problem at all.

As for the length of getting the K-1 Visa process, it varies. But brace for 6-9 months long of process even though some couples could get lucky in getting their Visa in less than 6 months.

I know how you feel right now... but be brave, and good luck. If we can do it, then so can you :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDecember filler
Vancouver.

That place is closer to you AND your fiance than other parts of Canada :)
Just remember that although the Canadian Immigration is very nice, your fiance still have to prove that you have reasonable ties to Indonesia.

My friend that I told you about, she had a good job and steady income. She also had a good amount of money saved in her bank account.

And as I told you before, I was in Japan schooling at that time (May 2005). My ties to Japan was that I got a full-tuition scholarship from Japanese Government (they pay for my life cost also), I still had like another year to complete my degree, and I also showed a reasonable amount of money saved in my bank account (btw, i was showing same proofs of ties when I tried to get the tourist visa to USA and I was denied..hahah :D suckz). But anyways, the Canadian embassy were not too strict to us at that time.
