K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat are your feelings about the K1 process?
[b]PLEASE THINK, (This will only help you),

Be Thankful that there is such a process and in fact that there was the ability to communicate to be able to meet your fiance. I AM. Honestly, in history, meeting someone from "far away" was barely possible and even if you did meet them....to get married...impossible.

It is my nature, "Human Nature", to be impatient but we should all count our blessings in the fact that we met such an incredible person to fall in love with. I told my fiance that if there is ever a reason that we can't get approved and all things fail in our efforts to be together, I will forever be blessed in the fact that I was able to know "you"! I never expected this blessing that has been put before me in this girl that I am hopeful to one day call "My wife" but I do not take for granted that God has worked this world over to be able to accomplish the fact that I could meet her in the first place.

God Bless this "Process" and all the hopes and dreams that are conveyed here:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice Certificate
Hello. I am a little unclear on whether or not we need to get a police certificate. My fiance lived in another country for 8 months. That was about 5 years ago. Some of the paperwork that I read says to get a police certificate if you live in another country for 6 months and some paperwork says to get one after a year? Can you tell me which one is accurate.

Thank you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice reports for K1 Visa

Hi,

We just got our NOA2 and I am starting to prepare all the documents for the interview. I was wondering how recent the police report has to be. Thus, if I am getting it now, but the interview might only be in two months, would it be considered up to dat?

Thanks!

Usually it is good for up to a year. It would probably be best to email the US embassy in Switzerland and ask the question but for most, I believe it is a year.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresALL pages of passport?

My USA passport book has 28 pages, most with nothing on them. I have two adjoining pages with my actual passport information, and one with my Brazil Visa with adjoining page that has been stamped when I visited Brazil. It seems to be a waste of print paper if I make copies of all of the other pages? I don't have my birth certificate, but might be easier to obtain another?
Thanks for information...

Yes, ALL pages. They see that the other pages are blank. That tells them that you have or have not been to certain places.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it worth getting a lawyer?

lawyer is needed for ppl that are nervous and want less risk. so if you need a lawyer or not you have to decide.

I don't think you need a lawyer as long as you don't have a special set of circumstances. IE: old criminal charges, multiple petitions, something that is needed to include in the petition that you can not obtain.

It is best if you are a little #######, like me:), and make sure you give everything needed in your petition. If you have any question about how much or how much is too much etc. or anything. Just ask. There are really great and knowledgeful people here to ask. They respond quickly. It is great! I think that the people here with their combined experience have a lot more great advice and experience than any one lawyer.

I can tell you one thing. Have patience. Expect to wait the longest time for your NOA2. and Pray for the things that are important to you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCSC after 5 months Who to contact 1st?
as soon as you hit the average expected processing time mark for that center they will file a request to get an udpate status which takes about 2 weeks to get a response. I say call them on Dec 3, and prepare to spend couple of hours on the phone.

Wow, a couple hours on the phone with these folks...Sounds like great fun! Thanks for your help. Have a great weekend.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCSC after 5 months Who to contact 1st?

It took 6 months for me at CSC, just call and ask for a service request, after we did that they contact us a week after.

Good luck

Did you wait for your 5 month date to expire before you wrote them?

WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR YOU? CSC NEVER TOOK THAT LONG -- YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT USCIS MAIN TEL #
I sure wish I had the answer to your question. Can you tell me what I should be asking the person who I talk to? Case status?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCSC after 5 months Who to contact 1st?
Hello,
On December 3rd my 5 months waiting period will hit. From my understanding, it is at this time that I can contact one of the departments to receive a status update. My question is between infopass, service request, NCS, or CSC, who should I contact to attempt to get this update?
Thank you!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP! Who should I be contacting sither Senator or Congresswoman
I am at CSC and went to my congressman at the 5 month mark. I had to send the permission form along with a letter of explanation of why I was asking their help and the next day, I received action. I got an RFE but it was my fault (I left 2 boxes unchecked). Congressman and Senators have people in their offices that are there to specifically help people like us. I think that if you have waited for the amount of time that the statutes have set, then you are entitled to ask for help. That doesn't mean that it will happen but you sure can ask. Sometimes "The squeeky wheel gets the grease"

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew police certificate question. (simple)
I can't seem to get a clear answer from the embassy I contacted so I thought I would ask here. Pertaining to the police certificate needed, my fiance has lived only in her home country of Latvia except 8 months in Austria. I am wondering if she needs a police certificate from Austria. The embassy's wording on this subject is unclear. (At least to me:))
Thanks for your response!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 to NVC case # to embassy
Hello,
I imagine the estimates vary but any idea on how long from NOA2 approval to NVC case #?
Also, what is the point of getting the case # from the NVC?
And one more, typical timing from NOA2 to embassy receiving and sending out packet #3?
Thank you in advance!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChanging name on ss card
We just got married 02/21/13 and had a social before we got married. All we did was take the marriage certificate, passport, and existing card up there and they sent it back in less than 2 weeks.
