K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	NOA2 Arrived!!!!!!!!	I got my NOA2 today in the e-mail!!!! Now, I am a little confusted about he further process. Do I just gather the financial information and send it to my fiance together with the initial F129 Packet? Can I do it right away, or I have to wait for something else from the USCIS? Can he begin to gather his documents now, or he should receive something else, first? Please, help! What do we do now? I don't want to loose any time! Thank you!

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Financial Documentation questions	Thank you all, very, very much! I will try to make sense out of everything. I hope I can rely on your help in the future. Thank you, again!	Alexa	Not Telling	Ukraine	2006-05-05 14:17:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Financial Documentation questions	I have several questions regarding gathering finanical supporting evidance: 1) Do I need to send my W2 tax return forms if I am not self-employed or the letter from the employer will be enough? 2) My co-sponsor is self-employed, so, he needs to send his taxes, pay stubs and a letter from the bank. Is that right? Please, correct me if I am wrong. I am confused on the taxes portion. What evidance do I exactly send, what form, if I do, at all. Thank you	Alexa	Not Telling	Ukraine	2006-05-05 12:29:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Please, help! Urgent.	Send copies. Technically they can request that the originals of any copy submitted be available at interview, so perhaps ensure that the foreign fiance(e) has them at that time. I sent copies when I filed for K1. Now I am approved, and my dillemma is whether to send the originals to my fiance so he has it at the interview, or keep them in case the copies will get lost and I can make other copies.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Please, help! Urgent.	Please, help! When sending a copy of an original I-129F to a fiance, do I need to send originals of the supporting evidence (tickets, hotel receipts, etc.), or copies will suffy? I am afraid that they will get lost in mail and then I won't have the originals. Whoever filed for a fiance in Ukraine or knows the answer to this, I will appreciate your help. Or, can you notarize the copies of evidence? It sounds funny to me, I don't know if it's possible.	Alexa	Not Telling	Ukraine	2006-05-16 01:37:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Foreign Embassy Question	I didn't know that you can e-mail the embassy with the request for packet #3. Do you know who should do this, my fiance, or myself? He should be the one receiving the packet 3, right? Either of you can e-mail and ask for it. In our case, I e-mailed and asked for packet 3 to be sent to me via e-mail AND mailed to my fiance's mailing address as written on the petition. They had no problem with this at all. Just be sure you include your case number and A# in the e-mail so they know how to reference your case. Good luck! I just found this post and fired of a email to the Moscow Embassy...I sure hope the reply. I called on the 25th and they had not gotten our approved petiton yet. Sicne Ive sent 4 emails including this one and no reply yet. Im going to call again this morning to see if it has arrived. Im keeping my fingers crossed as well as my fiancee. Thanks for the info! I e-mailed Ukrainian Embassy at Kiev yesterday (the 30st of May) and they replyed today, informing me that our case was approved, Packet #3 was sent to my fiance on May 25th and that I should feel free to ask them any questions I have. Thank you, guys, for the info. And I hope that Moscow Embassy will work as fast as the one in Kiev.	Alexa	Not Telling	Ukraine	2006-05-31 13:31:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Filling out an I-129F	Hi! I am new here and I hope for your help. When filling out an I-129 F and G-325A can I type all the information in and HAND WRITE the part where it asks for the fiancé’s address aboard in the native alphabet? His address is in Cyrillic.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Supporting evidence question	I have a double citizenship (U.S.A.) and Russian. I went to Ukraine to visit my fiance and used my Russian passport for entry to avoid filing for visa. As far as I know it is legal. Now the question is: Can I use the stamps in my Russian passport as an evidence of visiting my fiance? My U.S. passport doesn't have any stemps from the visits since they do not stamp passports anymore upon the entry into the United States after the trip. Will they question my double citizenship? Do you think I should submit the copies as an evidence, or I better not to include it in the packet? Anybody had this problem? Thank you very much. Alexa	Alexa	Not Telling	Ukraine	2006-02-23 15:04:00

I have several questions regarding further steps after NOA2. 1) Do I need to send the originals of the supporting evidance (letters, ticket stubs, hotel receipts?) to my fiance, or copies will suffy? 2) What about NOA1 and NOA2? Do I have to send an originals, or it can be copies? I am thinking, what if the packet will get lost in the mail and then I won't have the originals... Another question. Do I have to wait for something else from Nebraska (except my NOA2) as a cue to send all the required documents to my fiance, or I can just send them in as soon as they are ready?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Notice from NVC Received!	I received the notice from NVC today (dated May 19, 2006)! Things are moving along! But on the NVC's notice they misspelled my fiance's name. It's minor, they omitted one letter from his first name and on the NOA2 it was spelled right. I don't suppose it should be a problem, but does anyone knows if I am in a potential trouble because of this? Thank you, all!	Alexa	Not Telling	Ukraine	2006-05-22 21:36:00

Can he legaly get an authorization to work right away (while waiting for the status adjustement)? I heard that legaly he can get a stamp in his passport at the POE that will allow him to work for the first 90 days, while waiting for the status adjustement. Is this ture? If yes, is there a link with the document that will state this right? Thank you very much for your help!!!!	Alexa	Not Telling	Ukraine	2006-07-17 05:00:00
Philippines	QUESTION	--TYPOS' CORRECTED-- I am asking this question for a co-worker. She is worried about a relative who wanted to marry a filipina. Her relative (let's pretend his name is Homer) is originally from Guam hence legally a US citizen. The filipina (I'll name her Katie) I'm assuming has been living in USA for more than 5 years. Katie and Homer have a kid together who's about a year old now. They decided to get married but Katie wanted to do it in the Philippines because most of her relatives are there. By the way, Katie is legally married to a filipino in the Philippines but they didn't have any kids together. Now here's where the concern started. My co-worker had seen a documentary on TV about a dude from London who was imprisoned in the Philippines, for 5 years, for adultery. The dude went to the Philippines to meet a filipina. This filipina is actually married to a filipino when she hook up with the dude from London. The dude didn't know about it. After his stay in the Philippines, he posted pictures of him with the filipina in facebook. The filipina's husband found out about the pictures and to make matters worst, after a couple or few months the filipina found out she's pregnant with the other dude's kid. The husband filed for adultery. According to the documentary, by law the kid is legally the husband's kid (although not biologically) since the filipina is still married to him when the affair happened. The main concern is pretty apparent. Homer doesn't want to go to jail. They wanted to take their kid with them to the Philippines but didn't want to have any problems should husband in the Phillippines file for anything. I told my co-worker that divorce is not legal in the Philippines. And that there's only annulment which could be expensive. Answers (legal or not) are really appreciated. Thanks!	a3_the_harbinger	Female	Philippines	2011-08-09 21:57:00
