If VSC is moving that fast and well, then i guess myself and my fellow Dec filers should be praying to get approved lastest by April/May. That would be so great.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPre-NOA2 prep? (for my GH folks, esp)
Its nothing to worry about. It doesnt change anything if you have already given him copies of the I-129f petition you filed. Some people wait and later send the copies of the I-129f to the beneficiary when they have received the NOA2 so that they can anticipate the interview date and attach their recent pay stubs ot the copies and send to the beneficiary.

There is nothing for you nor the petitioner to do for now. You just have wait until the NOA 2 arrives. The police clearance certificate will only be valid for 3months so you need to get you interview date before. The medicals too is only valid for 6months so just relax. In any case you would need your interview appointment letter too before you can go in for your medicals at Akai Clinic just around the embassy here in Accra.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswho can best be your co-sponsor?

The ideal person to be a co-sponsor is someone who makes the correct amount of income for their family + the immigrant(s).

 

It does not matter if the person is a friend or a relative. They only want the correct income.

 

thank you very much

You would check intend if your sponsoring , and I put this on mine for question 11 ,  I-129F Fiance Visa as pertains to the law , whatever support will be needed.  

 

this has been answered so many times on this forum..i had the same dileman. The popular answer given by those experienced is to put there "N/A (KI VISA FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE)". Hope that helps.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhy did you file a K-1 over a CR-1?

My fiancee and I decided to go for the K1 cos that is the easier option. Moreover, she made it clear to me that she wouldnt want us to be married and still living apart. She wants us to marry and then just continue with our lives. And i think this has been the better option we chose. Anyway, to all Dec filers, our time is coming sooner. Good luck

I think you should go ahead and have the notarized affidavit from your fiance parents here in Ghana. I had my parents signed an affidavit at the high court here in Ghana and sent it to my fiancee which she attached to our K1 petition before filing. Presently she will also have some family members do same and send it to me for my interview. Hope this helps.

Just a couple of quick ones.

 

If she's divorced, under the Marital Status line do I need to put that, or put Single?

 

On line 11, about making "specific contributions.  Do I mark intend or do not attend, and if attend, what do I write for the exact nature of what I intend?

 

Tnanks!

I'm assembling all of my material to present with the K-1 petition and plan on going to Kinko's tomorrow and buying a nice binder/folder to separate all the categories and make the petition look very organized and easy to go through.  I read they take the thing apart and put it back together and sometimes items get lost so I want to make it as easy as possible for them to read through my petition.  Anybody have any suggestions?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 How much money do you need?
You have no worries. To make 60K is way above the poverty line for you and your partner. Savings in an account is not necessary. Your mom too need not serve as your co-sponsor cos your finance currently is goo. Just filled out the form and add your recent 3 pay stubs to it, a letter from your employer indicating when you were employed, your status and your earnings. If you don't have any tax transcripts to show, just write on a separate sheet and explain why; you started working not long.
Good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlease Help w/ Advice: Upcoming K-1 interview one Semester of University Remaining

Dear VJ friends,

 

A year ago my fiancee and I started this K-1 fiancee visa application process.  Finally, after 12 months we have received an interview (Dec 5th).  If she successfully gets her visa, the she will be able to come to the US this December so that we can get married. 

 

However, the big question for us will be how long she is able to stay.  She has only one semester of University remaining which begins in January and will end in August.    If she comes and we get married and then she goes back to after a month, will she be able to return to the United states easily or will we have to process a separate application for a spousal visa? 

 

I know how much this degree means to her, but at the same time the average amount of time to process a spousal visa is around 14 months and I don't want to have to go through this again!  Does anyone know if she come, marry me, go back and complete her degree, and the enter the US again when she is done???

 

thanks in advance for you answers!

 

I perfectly understand your situation. I was in the same situation. i was left with a semester to complete a 2-year degree but after realising there wasnt much i could do to salvage the situation, i let my school go. Checking some of the colleges in the US and then take it up from there.

Hoping and praying you find a solution to yours but she coming for you to marry and going back to continue her education will be a suicidal mission for your journey.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPlease Help w/ Advice: Upcoming K-1 interview one Semester of University Remaining

I just checked.  When we got approval status on August 6th, 2013 from USCIS for our 129F petition it said that the approval expires December 5th. 

 

Our interview is December 5th.  Does the USCIS expiration mean that if the visa interview cannot be postponed?

 

No worries> The embassy always extend the expiry date.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134-co-sponsors..HELP NEEDED

HI EVERYONE, AM THE PETITIONER  AND A STUDENT WITH A PART TIME JOB. I KNEW I COULDN'T SUPPORT MY FIANCEE ,MY PARENTS ARE WILLING TO CO-SPONSOR US. MY DAD MAKES ABOUT $90,000/ YEAR AND MY MUM MAKES ABOUT $40,000/ YEAR..NOW PLEASE MY QUESTIONS ARE:

 

 

1. IS THAT ENOUGH FOR THEM TO CO-SPONSOR US? ( INCLUDING MY FIANCEE WE  WILL BE 6 HOUSEHOLD)

 

2. MY PARENTS HAVE A JOINT ACCOUNT, DO THEY NEED A SEPARATE I-134 FORMS?

 

3.WHAT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS DO THEY NEED TO ADD TO THE I-134 FORM?

 

 

THANKS MUCH Y'ALL IN ADVANCEdancin5hr.gif

 

 

 

You dont need both parents to be your co-sponsors. Moreover the US Consulate here will not even bother to look at your tax transcripts let alone the docs of your co-sponsors. The most important docs for submission are your filled out I-134 form, DS-156, DS-156k, DS-230, birth cert(original) and letter from your employer. These are the real docs needed for your interview aside your tones of evidence such as letters, cards, phone records, pictures, etc Bank statements are not needed.

Tax transcripts, bank statements, co-sponsors, 6 recent paystubs etc are required when filing for AOS once in the US.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis a week visit a red flag?
Its interesting to read the various responses from fellow VJ members.
My fiancee and i were in a relationship for 2 years 9 months and she visited only ONCE spending 7 DAYS with me in Ghana. It was not an issue. The CO was rather focused on evidence of on-going relationship. Meeting in person at least within 2 years is the criteria and not the duration of the meeting nor number of meetings.

[quote name="Rick & Mavis" post="6801446" timestamp="1391599028"]

I'm preparing my I-134 and I'm leaving it pretty much blank. I have 3 years of tax transcripts & letters from my employer on official company letter head from the HR department. I'm under the understanding that this is all you need to submit if you make above the poverty guidelines. If I'm missing something someone please let me know. I'm forgoing all bank information for the form because I don't see it as necessary due to my annual income.[/quote.


U are good to go but do add the 3 most recent pay stubs though the Consulate wouldnt accept but its part of the I-134. Good luck

Hello guys!! So my fiance called today the USCIS and asked if there is any way to speed up the process and the woman told him that she will send a request of expedite to speed the process and will send us an email to tell us yes or no. He said im losing my hair and i have panic attacks cause of my stress.
Is anyone that knows anything about this? Is this going to get my process denied or have problem on my medical exams with the embassy doJust be good and everything will work fr the go

Just be good and everything will work out  for the good. If everybody has to request for an expedite in this process, the value will be the same and you will still be where u are. Patience, and the very best of luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat do i do next to bring my daughter
Its good u included her in your visa application process. I also have a daughter I included whose process I will start any moment from now.
Once you included her in your process, you have up to a year from the date your visa was issue to initiate the process for her to join you. If you don't do that and the one year elapses then your wife will have to file for her as her step daughter which takes sometime.
So the best thing in this situation is to start the process for her before this year October which makes it a yeaf since you had your visa in November.
To start, email the embassy and inform them that you want to start your daughter's visa application. Provide your full name, DOB, Case number and your visa issuance date.
GOOD LUCK

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp!!!stained I-134 form

Ermmm I know it's dumb of me to have all my docs in one place while working with a highlighter but well I did. And the highlighter stained the I-134 which is the original copy. It wasn't all over the page just some portions. There's no way I can get another through the post before my interview. Do you think it will pose a problem? I'm worried sick as I'm already stressed out to the max

i dont think this is anything much to worry your head over. In case it ends up not being accepted, the embassy will likely ask u when u can furnish it with another or perhaps give you 2 weeks to do so. Should this happen, ask your partner to do DHL which takes 4 days or latest by 5 days to receive so that u can have it well on time.

Wish you the very best of luck. It is well

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhich one/

Hello guys, I believe everyone is doing great? So I have a very confusing question. I have already filed my tax return with my old company W-2. I say old because I stopped working there last month. I do have the letter of employment from them for the embassy & I have a pay check from January to February from them...Right now am working in a different company & I do have pay checks from them from March to present, but don't have tax returns from them since I just started working. What should I sent to my fiance back home? The old pay checks pulse the new one or just the old ones?? Or should I get the letter of employment from my new company? By the way I do have someone who has already filled out the affidavit of support for us....Thanks guys, please help.

Your situation is nothing to least worry of. At the end of the day, the Accra Consulate wouldn't even look at them. All these will be returned to your fiance when he submits his evidence either at Window 1, 2 or 3. These documents are importantly required when your fiance arrives in the States, you get married and you file for AOS.

  The above notwithstanding, present what you have from your old employer and new employer as well.  Wishing you the very best of luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffadavit of support?

Thank you for the responses! I noticed that in the instructions for the I134 it states that you must show sufficient income or financial resources. Sufficient incoming meaning being over the 125% poverty line( tax returns) I'm assuming? If that is the case am I still required to give banking info? Not familar with Tax Transcripts? Meaning like a 1040ez competed? Intern's of the W2's is a print out from an employer website sufficient? or is something more official required? 

 

 

Not well abreast with the rest but per the Ghana Consulate and other Consulates in Africa that i know of, banking info is not necessary.

For a K1 Visa filer who meets the 125% requirement which form do I fill out? i134f or i864? Looking for some details in general regarding this.

For the K1 visa application, you submit the I-134 but if you are already in the US and filing for AOS, you submit 1-864
