K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsk-1 fiance visa Alien Registration Number

Just need clarification...hope you guys can help me!
 
So i'm on the USCIS website, checking my fiance and i's case status, and the message i see is "On March 12, 2014, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)"
 
Can anyone clarify as to what this means? My fiance in california just got the letter in the mail(on tuesday) with reciept number and our NOA1 date.
We send in petition March 3, 2014, and our NOA1 was dated March 7, 2014.
 
Thank you in advance!






The Alien Registration Number changing is nothing more than a normal processing procedure. Nothing to do with you being approved soon. Everybody receives this message in the initial petition stage

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterview Date!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally received word from Barbados Embassy via email that her interview date is set for April 9th at 0730.  So excited I can't wait!  Now for the medical portion.  She is so nervous that she will be denied because she is afraid that she will freeze from anxiety.  Any tips for her?dancin5hr.gif

The medical stage is not as nervous cracking as we always envisage. No fears. It is well and wishing you the very best in your upcoming interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsEasiest interview ever!!!

I had my interview 1st of April and I still can't believe how fast my interview was. As soon as I got in to the interview we greeted each other and he took my finger prints and then I took an oath. He asked me 2 questions and after that we started talking bout beer and that he visited my country before and how beautiful it is and that he loves the rum and we were there talking bout the different rums my country has and that he going to visit again. And then he said I was approved. Told me to go with my passport and to send it back with a prepaid airway bill. I think my case was a special case cause I been the the US at least 30 times from the time I been born and visited my fiancée 5 times out of that.

Congratulations!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved & Home

Late post, I know...
 
Our appointment was for 7:00am and we got there around 6:30am. There were two lines that were the same lengths ( one was for visas and the other was for green cards, I think). We waited 15mins and were then let inside. We passed a security guard/ phone check, where you have to leave your phone with if you bring it; and then we went through metal detectors. We sat in the waiting room where a Haiti Messager attendant was directing people on which window to go to ( kinda reminded me of the DMV expect you don't have to take a number).
 
The 1st window we were sent to, after waiting 15mins, was a man asking us for more eevidence about our relationship; so we gave him more picuters and more call logs. He then told us to have a seat. 20mins later the HM attendant sent my fiance to another window where he had his fingerprints taken. About an hour later, we went up to the 3rd window for the actual interview.
 
We had a nice lady, she asked us 3 questions: How did we meet? How did he propose? What are the plans for the wedding? She spoke to my fiance in creole and to me in english. After a few mins she looked to him and said "Congratulations, I'm so happy for you two!" :D
 
She then told us that we could to the HM attendant by the exit and pay 15$ and have a pick up day for his passport. We did and on 4/16/2014 he got his passport! :dance:  :dance:  We were excited beyond words. We flew to JFK on 4/18/2014. :thumbs:  It still feels surreal to me.
 
VJ had everything to do in helping us get this far and I very grateful to this site and to everyone who has been with us along for the ride. Thank you for your support! I pray all your journeys go as smoothly fellow VJers.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnyone got his/her K-1 Visa approved after only one meeting in person with fiance(e)?

Hello everyone, 
 
I just got concerned lately about this.
 
I've been knowing and talking with my fiancee for like one year. We only met one time in person. Now we are preparing for the wedding and I am waiting for the interview date.
 
Anyone got approved even though you have only met once with your fiance(e)?
 
Any advice and recommendation or sharing experience?

 
Thanks and good luck for everyone.
 
 












My fiancee (now wife) and I met once in our then 2 year relationship and she stayed just 6 days when she visited. It wasn't an issue and never came up during my interview

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGhana interview- should petitioner attend?
It will help a lot to be there because sometimes u may never know...there may be things that might crop up during the interview which u can readily clarify. I would also urge u to ask your ex to give u any paper work u deem necessary. Its better to be fully prepared than to later say HAVE I KNOWN.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOnly one parent on Birth Certificate

Hello All

While waiting for our I130 to be processed we decided to get working to accumulate our information for the NVC stage. One issue we knew about before but now need to address at this time is that my wife's birth certificate (beneficiary) only shows her mother. Her mother was unmarried at the time of pregnancy and her father was not there for the birth or subsequently thereafter. My wife has been able to obtain official copies without problems but per the government records no father is listed.

My wife is Dominican and this case will be processed through Santo Domingo.

The instructions for document submission at the NVC clearly indicate a birth certificate must show both parents. We spoke to a reputable attorney who has told us that this will not be an issue but I'm not sure he is correct. I'm wondering if we need to submit other supporting documents similar to what is required if a birth certificate cannot be produced (affidavit of family members, etc.) We are trying to prevent a delay in the process by including everything correct up front and not wait for an RFE or checklist.

Has anyone had experience with this? Ideas?







Your Attorney is very right. Its a common thing here in the US having so many people with birth certs but without the father's info. The US Consulate where you would have your interview will understand.
In all the paper work we have done so far up to my present journey, my wife's (USC) father info is not included and of course not on her birth cert too as well. Nothing to worry your head over.
Wishing you the very best in your journey. It is well

Am impressed with your level of confidence. Once you genuinely love her, be resolute and steadfast in any outcome and you will just he fine.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures30 YEARS AGE GAP..VERY CONFUSED
Like most VJ members have said, you will be in a better position to know what answers to give since this is your marriage and you know why you got married. My wife is 15 years older than me but we went through.
"How did you meet", " What does your family think of her" were the only questions asked in connection with her.
To be honest, yours is a big red flag. You being in the 20s is the issue. If you were to be in your mid 30s and the gap is still 30yrs, that wouldn't worry much but never say never. Your might go through and have your approval.


NB
Please be careful of such questions on VJ cos it raises suspicion. I asked the CO who interviewed me whether she knows of Visajourney, and she responded saying they read it all the time.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMedical and tax script
If you are going via K1, then Ghana Embassy doesn't require tax transcript. I advise you do medicals at Akai Clinic which is about 2mins walk from the embassy. The cost wouldn't be more than GHc 1,000.
Good luck
