K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsG-325A QUESTION
QUOTE (ECARM @ Jun 5 2009, 05:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi,

I have a question on G-325A form (previous marriage)question on form states Date and Place of marriage?
do they want to know where the ceremony was? or where the marriage license was obtained?

Thanks



Put down the city where the ceremony was performed and sign the marriage document. You may live in one city and married in another. So in this case, put down where you performed the ceremony or where you sign the marriage license not where you got/obtained your license.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWrong naturalization date on the K1 application

Going through the papers and the application for my fiances K1 visa I just realized that i typed my naturalization date wrong instead of 08( October) I typed 09 (September). :bonk:
Could this be an issue even if they have a copy of my naturalization certificate stating the correct dates ?, Can I call them to correct it, or what do you guys suggest??? ( NOA1 April 4 2011)



I would say leave it and usually they would correct it since it's minor error, and this depends on who and whom is working on your case.

hi there not really sure if i type it right the right name... i just wonder for ir1 immigrant visa. once they get in to the US and get there social ang green card can apply for travel documents? means he could stay out of US iin certain time i believe for 6 months.. but before he or she can apply for travel visa is theres any certain time that he/she have to say in US before going out?

please advise thanks.


I belive he can apply for travel document once he get his green card, or he can apply it during AOS filing (concurrently)...
No timeframe requirement to stay in the USA before travelling as long as he get his travel document approved, if not don't travel or you'll be denied to re-enter the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAssembling 1-129F Packet
QUOTE (lvasquez @ Aug 26 2006, 09:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Please note: DO NOT send original documents such as birth certificate, divorce decrees, plane tickets, etc. Do send original of the stuff they ask you to send such as letters of intent, I-129F etc.



My adivice is: Original stuff are just pictures...

I believe all others are to be kept and send them to your fiance(e) when you got NA2 and then send to your fiance(e) to bring into the interview [note, one consular is different from another so check with their website for further information), however, it used to be that all original papers are to be sent but no more and this is why they required you to sign form FC029 certified copy...

Thanks everyone for your comments. I think only other people who have gone through or are going through the process can appreciate how stressful it can be. Of course, our hopes were up to be coming to the US together - especially for our 18 month old daughter - but we have to take one more step.

Wish us luck!



Sorry to hear you went through all of this, but USCIS website clearly saying that you need to prove that both of you can be legally and able to get married within 90 days. In this case, clearly, you need to obtain a single (unmarried) certificate from your city or town of your fiance(e) country. Also, maybe your package is not strong or sufficient enough to prove that the relationship between you and your fiance(e) is real. For example, US consulate needs these documents: a letter of intend and legally able to get marry, letter to each other, phone calls you make to each other, financial support to your fiance(e) while ongoing relationship, proof of meeting, engagement party/letter, plane ticket, pictures, etc.

Some coutries are tough to prove that you were either single or married, unlike the US where every marriage has a record, so a simple document or eye witness document from your village or head of village/county that you're single is good and sufficient enough. Hope other VJ filers can learn from this.

Im unclear on this myself and was JUST going to post this question when I saw you'd done it already smile.gif
What confuses me- if you are from the UK and have one of the new passports with a chip, you should be able to travel to the USA without a visa for 3 months as a tourist....can you still do this.....or do you need approval from an embassy and do they make the time of ur visitation smaller?? I just want to pop over for 10 days for my mans B-day! unsure.gif


Exactley !! My Finace turns 30 in july and I really want to be there to celebrate with her.. I have had two different answers from two lawyers in the same office.. One said " No problem" the other was not quite so positive. He indicated trvalling to the US and the filing my petition the day after i arrive. This would delay my application by a month we would really like to be married and living together before Christmas!!


My understanding is this, the more you visited your fiance(e), the better... If you hadn't visited your fiance(e) at all in the past 2 yrs, or after your first met her and during the time of your petition, US Embassy CO will ask you why? I was asked this question during my fiancee interview. He asked me why two years w/o visiting!!! BUT I have my reason... Visa in hand 4 days. We were told to pick up her visa the next day, but then due to short staff, holidays on the Friday and Monday, we were able to get it in 4 days, excluding weekend.

QUOTE (Tamakiz @ May 20 2008, 10:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello everyone, I am brand new here. I was refered to the site by a friend of mine who went through this process already. My fiance' is from the Philippines and was previously married, and had one child with her husband. I have already initiated and received confirmation that the annulment to her marriage is complete. I am currently waiting for the actual paper confirmation stating her "cenomar" status. In the mean time I would like to have all the paperwork ready to send the instant it arrives. I have read the blogs and looked at sample forms. But I have to admit, I am a little nervous about making any mistakes. I have waited almost 3 years now for us to be together and I dont really want to unnecessarily extend that one more single day hehe. Would anyone here be willing to guide me through the process either via emails, IM's or through whatever process would be most comfortable for them. Also, which forms will i need to fill out, and will there be additional forms for her daugher (2 yrs old). I just want to be 100% prepared and with zero mistakes.
Thanks
Shawn


PERTAINing to your daughter, list her name on form I-129F under part B, question #13 (unmarried children of your fiance(e) under the age of 21. No other form for your daughter. You need your
fiance(e) previously husband's name and when the marriage end as well, along with this, you need divorce certificate of your prior marriage or USCIS will not accept, or they'll ask you for it later(they'll ask this information on your fiance(e)'s country (see DS-156K) for more details.

As to which form to fill:
1. I-129F
2. G-325A Biographic (both you and your fiance(e), each has to file one application (4 pages
duplicate, better do it online)
3. I-134 (Affidavit of support)

And among other papers to complete your package... Good luck!!!

I don't think you'll have a problem mixing up a couple numbers on an old address. I've not heard of that and honestly, if they scrutinize that much I think we're all in trouble!!! wink.gif

We probably all had this stage of initial panic when first sending off the petition. I remember going over it a dozen times before it was sent and then I was too afraid to even look at it after I sent it off for fear I had made a mistake and...well.. wouldn't be able to breathe! wink.gif

It's out of your hands now. Think positive. smile.gif


I think you'll be ok. Most USCIS workers will correct it for you providing that you have the correct one in I-129F. I typed my fiancee DOB incorrect on form G-325A and they fixed it for me. In other countries, Date was first, followed by Month and Year. In USA, Month first, followed by date and year. So I typed in the reverse order on G-325A and USCIS knew by looking at my I-129F and engagement letter with the correct DOB on it.

Different people choose to offer different amounts of information. I did not use a separate page and was able to fill all information, including dates, into the box. Ours mentioned the date and circumstances regarding when we met, and all the times we saw each other after that. Very simple and direct.


Can someone give some examples of what they wrote when the filled in the box and did not use a seperate attachment? I am trying to get a better idea of how much info is sufficient.



All I wrote was "Met in person from Sept.3, 2006 to Sept.10, 2006 after communicating for months over the internet." The dates matched my boarding passes, passport stamps, and hotel receipt. No additional sheet was attached.


Make sure your statement reflected your plane ticket, visa or passport stamped. Simple sentence as the one above here so you can remember it several months down the road when CO ask you. This question came up 90% of the time during the interview. Both you and your fiance(e) need to remember this one so short and concise is the key. Good luck!!!

Have you called the attorney? I don't know anything about how it works since I don't have one, but would the RFE go back to the attorney or come directly to the petitioner? If it goes to the attorney, perhaps they are just sitting on it and forgot to let you know.

I wouldn't worry too much about not having received NOA2 yet. I've seen from other March filers that Vermont has slowed down a bit after they moved at lightning speed during the first quarter of the 2008.

I would be checking on it because 34 March filers with dates after his have their NOA2. Most with his same timeframe have had theirs a month now.

The best of luck to you jab star_smile.gif


Give it 4 months then call your attorney if you don't hear anything. Check your status online every other day since you're now in 3 months window, closer to your adjudicated date. No cover letter and letter of intent, unless it is from a well-known Attorney to USCIS in Vermont. You're highly likely to issue RFE...

My fiancee is also from the Philippines, n I made it a point to stay there for a few months and live with her to make sure that ya we could deal with eachother. Ofcourse not every one has those liberties. But what i can say to you is she needs to have her own life when she gets here. Send her to school or if she is already a professional make sure she finds work. She will be living in America so do your best to integrate her to America. Don't let her rely on all these other Pinays that came here and married foreigners as her only friends. If you don't think she will be capable of adjusting to your way of life, then it is a bad idea. Yes it's a risk, but if you're having second thoughts, then maybe it's not such a great idea for you at the moment. For me I can so WOW I am so in love with my woman. We have had many long serious conversations and we have been through bad and good. We already had our fights and stuff when we lived together so it wasn't like you said a vacation. I made it a point to do simple things with her and see how she reacted. We would just take long walks through Makati at 1 in the morning. It just flowed. Some days we just stayed at the condo and she read a book while I traded stocks. Without these simple things, I think I might be in the same boat as you. Coz ya, life ain't all fun and games.


Had no fear, when you married someone, there is a risk involved. Everything you do in life has a risk consequence. Good luck and follow your heart!!!!

The petitioner is the one that files the 129F with USCIS, but needs some information from you as well. Click on the Guides above, and read all the information you can about the process. Financial information is more to the end of your journey. There is also a Philippines regional forum here on VJ that will be really helpful for you in keeping in touch with other people from your country that are going through this process as well.

Best of luck!


It required a lot of information/forms, here are some papers/forms you need to start with:

1. form 129f
2. G-325a (one for you and your fiance(e)
3. i-134 (income tax, paystubb, company letter, etc)
4. letter of intend
5. engagement letter
6. proof of meeting in person (photos together, plane ticket, etc)
6. for a male fiance (you need additional form - ds 157)
7. ds 156k
8. ds 156
9. ds 230

check your inquiry/status again in about 2 to 4 months from today. relax is the key. everyone went through the same process, exception, some centers do process it faster than other so, at least 2 to 4 months is a good period close to your adjudicated date in all centers.


Hi Vicky.

Relax Relax:star:
I was also sooo stressed out when our case was pending at CSC.
It took almost 8 months for us to receive NOA2. So, I think you can guess how stressed out we were...I learned that things happen when it happens. So, do not worry about it and make the most of time you have right now. There is better way to use your time than worring about K1 forever.
So, do not stress yourself out. It is not good to your body and not good to your relationship.
Just remember that you and your fiancee are in this together. star_smile.gif

VSC seems to be on top of processing cases within reasonable time frame.
So, do not worry, Your case will be approved before you even realize it.

Good Luck good.gif

You can only put your current/past addresses at the time you file, and if you move, contact them and let them know.

If you already know where your new address will be, make a supplement or re-do the sheet?


When you file, file as if you did everything the day you filed. If a date isn't current, redo the form.

Is there something specific you are concerned about?

just the time frame from her G-325a, to my I-129f..


No worries on the G325a unless the information itself is out of date. Next time you have a question, please be more specific.


Each form can have different date on it and it doesn't affect the other... Most of the forms can be saved if you do it online or computer, and you can change the date as often as you like when you're ready to file. For example, I-129f form can be saved and dated it accordingly when you're ready to file...

You may never get an actual hard copy NOA1 document. You should search on this site for related information. This is a fairly regular post that appears. I never received one myself. USCIS insists that they sent one months ago, but I never received it. I have, however, received other documents from them in the mail, so the whole thing is odd. They also have a "policy" of not resending the letter, so if you're in the same boat, you'll never get an NOA1. You should however check your online bank transactions, look for the image of the check you sent and locate the number on the back that probably begins with "EAC..." That's your case number, which you can enter into the USCIS website to check your case status.


My brother-in-law he bought cashier check and we can't check it. many thanks for your reply!!!

Hello,

Could someone tell me where I can find the Alien Registration Number requested at the bottom of the G-325-A form?

Thank you!

You will not find it anywhere, it is the number that Vermont or California center gives you when they log in you files. Leave it blank


It is your Alien#, and everyone has one ... Your Green card or US citizenship certificate all contain this Alien#. Also the same Alien# you put the top of this form (G-325A), and this Alien# identify you or your fiance(e).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325a Form
QUOTE (The Webbs @ Jul 28 2009, 04:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I need to know what happens when you can't remember specific dates for the G-325a form. It asks for all previous residents and employments and dates for the last 5 years. I know its not correct to leave them black and is probably highly UNrecommended.. but what choice do I have really? Some advice would be much appreciated ... crying.gif



I'm sure USCIS will not check your employment or residential history ... So essentially you do not need an accurate date on this form. This is a biography of you or your fiance(e) so needless to figure out the exact date. If you had moved a lot or employed at various company, just put some recently history down with dated. You do not need to go to your local SS office to get your work history information.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiled I129F - Fiance is Having a Baby
According to process at consular, once the child is born, you'll have to write a letter of acknowledgement to US consular stating that you still want to marry your fiance(e) in the USA and then they will issue the baby (him/her) a visa, providing that you pass the interview. Reason being is this, it may be possible that USC fiance may not be the father of the baby and may therefore change his mind about the engagement. With this being said, whether the baby is your or not, they will issue the baby a visa regardless.

Hope this help.

One of my brother-in-law's I-129F petition was delayed at National Visa Center for about a month and I called, the lady who answered the phone said, they're under administration review. Does anyone went through this before or whether their case got denied or issue RFE at this late stage? I would appreciate to hear your case, and thanks.



Sabaidee. Sorry to hear about your brother. People can be in AP at NVC for any number of reasons. Usually just by random selection. NVC does issue RFE but at what point after being at NVC do they issue it, I'm not sure. You'd think that if they needed something, they'd request it early on. I don't think that he would be out right denied. You may want to check around the NVC section.

Good luck to your brother.



Sabaidee ...

Thanks for giving your input ...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLittle lost about service request
Usually it takes between 1 to 6 months to get NAO2. The whole process to get your fiancee into USA is about 7 to 10 months depending on your location, your paper, etc.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Sent Off and I have a Question.
QUOTE (My Mohammed @ Jul 11 2008, 06:13 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My K-1 is on it's way to Vermont and I am so nervous. I was wondering if anyone could tell me, what would be the reasons it would be turned down? I provided copies of my Entry Visa, 6 months Tourist Visa, boarding passes and Itineraries for 3 trips i've made, receipts from shopping, pictures, and I also mentioned I had a co-sponsor.

My journey hasn't even begun and i'm already a wreck. sad.gif I'm just afraid I missed something, I should've included or they'll just turn us down flat. Is it very often they ask for more evidence at this stage? I appreciate your repsonses.

They can turn you down if you provide insufficient evident. Most likely they will issue you RFE (Request for Evidence) at this early stage. I am assuming you did files all requires paper (I-129F, G-325A,
I-134(w-2, paystubbs, company letterhead, and among other things etc). You may be forgetting to including a letter of intend by both of you (bona-fide) and an engagement letter. This letter is very important. Hope this help a bit.

United KingdomPacket 3-Packet 4

OK, I just called the Embassy. Well, I say just... I tried the £1.20 number at about 4pm and it kept cutting me off saying everyone was busy, although in fairness you're not charged for the call until they physically answer it apparently (so says the automated message).

Anyway, finally got through to a Liverpudlian chap just now and I confirmed that Royal Mail says they signed for my packet 3 on the 9th of June, a slightly puzzling 6 days after having sent it first class. DoS still doesn't have us on the system, so he did some poking around. It seems the last update for the case was "DS-230 part 1 missing". Now, I checked p3 had all the required documents so many times I started to question my sanity, and I found part 2 in my "to shred" bin here, so they definitely have part 1.

The chap told me not to worry though, as a processing time of 2 to 4 weeks after receipt of p3 is normal, and that "DS-230 part 1 missing" could mean they just haven't processed the case yet. Bit odd, but I suppose we'll have to take his word for it. We're to call back if we've not heard anything by the 9th of July.

What does everyone reckon, is this normal?


Stu.


All in all, the USCIS gave you 4 months to complete the process, including getting a visa in hand from date 1 that NVC sent your package to foreign US Embassy, and they knew your timeframe, so don't worry.

Russia, Ukraine and BelarusFriend Gets Goodbye Email from Fiance

First let me say I made this post as what could be a warning to some of you with something that could be happening to some of you also and to get comments on your thoughts. Thank you for your comments positive and negative and I certainly wish you all the best.
You all "were" a part of this and it doesn't matter that this person should be a member of this forum or any other forum which he is not.
We should be smart enough to learn from other persons problems and solutions to their problems and this has certainly been good information for a lot of guys out there is what we're hearing. It also made me listen and talk to my fiance about it and other guys are doing the same thing.
The day her fiance called her was not a conference call. He asked us to listen in on their conversation to help him decide if she was sincere or not especially the two girls from Russia listening.
We could tell that between the media and her friends that she had gotten scared and worried about the future of she and her two young daughters here. We all agreed we would have felt the same way in the same situation and the two girls from Russia said "she was definitely scared" and understood her actions. We never know what could"really" be happening in the background no matter how solid you think your relationship is.
It didn't have anything to do with love and trust. She loves him and trust him but she wasn't so sure about our country and what the future held even the possibility of her fiance eventually being unemployed and not being able to support them. I certainly understand this and you should also because the only real person that knows your future is your employer and you never know when you might get walking papers yourself. I'm an employer so I can tell you that I know more about what's happening in my company than they do.
Last week a bank here gave four of their people their walking papers because of the economy. One of them told me none of them saw it coming until the morning it happened to them...so you never know. I certainly hope all of you do survive this attack on our economy and not loose your jobs.It's scary out there right now for a lot of us that own businesses.
I do have good news on my part. I got a call from my fiance this morning about 4am, woke me from my sleep to tell me we have an interview in September. It was a long haul for us because our paperwork got lost and we had to refile. We didn't start throwing things, yelling and do all those things to
to vent our frustrations. We both had a little laugh and said oh well, here we go again and kept the patience that it would eventually happen for us and it did.
Like most everyone doing this frustrating process I have learned a lot here and I will leave you with a wealth of information not only learned from you but gained from our own personal experiences.
I'm also thankful that my fiance and daughter will have a nice support group here in our community that speaks their language and understands her culture more than I do to help them adjust to their new lifestyles here.
I wish all of you still in the process the best and to keep your chins up, it will eventually happen for you also. I wish all of you that are married a much successful life with your Russian wife.

Here is my two cents:
I hope what I am about to say is not true...

I am very skeptical about this whole relationship. I thought it was love, not economic in USA. I've seen many people had trouble with their fiance(e) several months after arrival into USA, even after get married. The marriage didn't last long because it was for financial gain & economic, not LOVE... From what I understand above here, it seems that this Russian fiance(e) is looking for financial gain and economic, not love? Love conquered all things regardless, and no doubt.

Asia: SouthDS 156 on two pages-Acceptable?
QUOTE (DanielParul @ Jun 14 2008, 03:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I did too. In fact all my forms were downloaded from the internet so they were not printed both sides and it was alright at the New Delhi Consulate.
I made a couple of mistakes on the forms that I got in Pkt 4 so I had to download them. Nobody was bothered by that


I spoke to the Vice consul of USE in Laos, he said, 2 pages are unacceptable, the barcode page is in itself page 2. so this form should be printed back-to-back. I guess it depended on what country your fiance(e) live,etc. When you down load, use print current page. print page 1 first, and then put it back into the printer (flip over) and print current page (scroll down to page 2) or print from page 2 up so you'll get the page with barcode on separate page. Total pages - 2 I guess now it's too late for you. you can always print another copy (back-to-back) and carry with you in case they ask for it. Hope this help!!!
