K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOriginaL DOCUMENTS
If we are dealing with a fiancée, certainly not an application for US citizenship.

Can honestly state throughout our long experience with the USCIS, the only time the officer wanted to see original documents was for my wife's citizenship interview. Guess what I am really trying to say, you just don't know, all depends upon that one officer you have to deal with.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAge difference & divorce

I think there could be a problem since the woman is much older than the man. This is definitively, not the norm. It is just my opinion.


I am almost 12yrs older then my husband and we had no issues at all regarding age difference.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F - middle name is mother's maiden last name?

yes when you file papers use as it is in your passport, then after you marry. your last name becomes you middle name and then your new husbands last name becomes your last name, at least thats how it is in the phils, but is you get married here in usa you can keep what ever name you want as your middle name,

 but as for filing you use what ever is in your passport

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancé forgot he was married before!

Well i am no expert, but if he was married and has the papers to show he was divorced then no problem just bring to embassy and if they ask then you can produce the papers, but your already at the interview level . so to start over if along wait.

 but if he dont have the papers and they ask well then that would be red flag #2

 i have rememberd my marriages even they are over 25 yrs ago , i would like to forget :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCHEAP passport photos!

Hi,
For anyone looking to save a bit of cash (the K-1 process can be costly!!) I have to give a shout-out to ePassport Photos.com! I was able to use my own digital camera to take a photo and crop it to exact specifications for free using this site. The file you end up with has 5 photos on a 4x6 sheet, which I saved it on my memory stick and took to Shoppers Drug Mart, where I printed it for 49 cents!!

You'll need 6 photos for the entire process, which costs under $1 using this method (and about $30 if you were to get them taken 2 at a time).

I'm no mathematician, but I think a savings of $29 is something to get excited about :)




:rofl: You couldn't have said it any better. In these economic times, every little one can save is a welcom repite.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAre visits to the US during the process allowed?

A denied Visa Waiver has absolutely no bearing on your K-1 application.

That may be true but it may also be risky to brush aside the responce from CBP. If all the OP is waiting for is an NOA2, then it won't hurt to wait for the k-1 visa to be granted that way it wouldn't matter at the POE.

And I do have a marriage certificate approved by the Canada and lawyers permit to get marriage. Is this enough to prove them that I met my fiance for the past two years?

If it's dated to suggest that, then hopefully they will consider it. Plus the fact that you have a 14 month old baby suggests you met 2 years ago considering it took approximately 9 months before the baby got here. Maybe you should point that out in the space they provided for you to write anything you think will help your case. In the mean time, think long and hard and find more evidence. Surely you should have more paper trail for a 2 year old relationship. Receipts, post cards, email with highlited dates, confirmation email of items you had mailed to him showing from your address to fiance's address etc...

And all the people that need to file ROC? they lose their jobs and green cards and lose their status because USCIS closed and didnt work on applications? I doubt it will affect USCIS the backlash would be HUGE for people who need to renew and their lives depended on 2 incomes.

I want to believe if there is a Government shut down, USCIS could also be shut down since it's a Government institution.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIntimate photos/ having sex while Fiance

This is a grown up conversation!
So I have noticed that some fiance' visa applicants are asked about having sex with their partners and are asked to produce intimate photos. While some folks do have sex, others think its bad form to have sex before marriage. This doesn't seem to vary by nation but more perhaps by religious proclivity.

How can consular officers ask about or expect that those of us in Fiance' relationships will have had sex???
And honestly my sex life is none of their business, but I'll answer the questions if it gets my fiance here. I think it borders on cruel and unusual punishment.


Whoever told you that they will ask for intimate photos misled you. They can't ask for those pictures because then it crosses the line from evidence to Pornography which is very illegal. If any officer asks you for private moment photos, report him/her immidiately because they are perverts and want to use those pictures for something other than your case. No Government agency will ask for nude pictures. Just doesn't make any sense.

Hey everyone- this is probably a really dumb question... but for the K1 medical exam blood tests, what do they all test and look for? My fiance is scared about his medical exam and I'm just trying to convince him that he'll be fine. I would just like to calm his nerves a little bit. Thanks!

Caity



If he used drugs and that what he is afraid about then do not tell his doctor about it coz they will not know. Blood Test is to know if he has HIV that he might transmit when he come here.



Nah- he's never even tried drugs, so he's not worried about that. He's just a bit paranoid and figures they'll find something else wrong with him that's life threatening. He has no reason to, he's just that way. Special.

We will see now how Delhi is again with their behavior when mani and i go to our interview! Now we know how to act back with them, Karen gave me some coaching leassons last night! HAHAHA maybe they will redeem themselves and be totally polite smile.gif let us hope anyway

Yes i am going with mani to the interview its just if they will let me into the embassy mani went into the line with me and then when the security guards told him he could not go in he waited outside with the other ppl waiting for family. It is the strongest evidence that i am there and tat he carries my passport with him for interview if they don't allow me for some reason not to enter..how would that look if they would not let in a US citizen into the US embassy haha i would be sitting outside on the curb waiting.

i am also going with mani to his medical and we wll be making sure that dr fills out everything.

i really am hoping for our interview appointment very soon! on january 9th our petitions expires.


Tasha, they 'will' let you in, but being allowed to sit there right beside Mani as he's being interviewd is another story. One person that went to the interview at Delhi with her SO told me that she was interviewed as well and separately too! Right after her SO was.

Then there's also Lauren (catknit) just recently who was let in without any problem.

And yes, you 'are' a USC and it would not be ethical or wise as far as I'm concerned for a US Embassy to not allow one of their own in the doors. So no, you won't be sitting outside on the curb but you should still give the PP to Mani to show to the CO, unless of course you have the gutso to walk straight up to the counter with him. If you 'do' that, they will probably just ask you to go sit back down.

Oh, The applicants don't go into a separate room. There are a row of windows that the CO's stand behind...sort of like a drive up window at a bank. This is protection I suppose from crazy angry fiancee's who's sweeties don't get approved. devil.gif

Also, I've been in there myself to get my no objection letter from a CO, then afterwards I described the area I had to go to and Hemant said it sounded just like the same area he was interviewd, windows and all.

I don't think you're going to have to wait an entire month to get your date. Most likely you'll get it in two weeks at the most.

PS) like your newly posted pic! smile.gif Keep em coming!



KAREN
well this time i will be having all the GUTS mani also we are standing up for everything. we were discussing this the other day after we talked. at least i wont be sitting outside and waiting like mani had to do.

i will be standing up at that counter with him.

i thought the applicants go into a different room like an interview room, so then its basicallly you stay in the whole main room where i sat and waited the whole time.

i also called and emailed the DOS again yestersday still no interview date, so i will call again after the holiday well a few days after that. I reallllllllllllly want the interview date, hope it only takes a few weeks to come.

mani also toled me when we were at the embassy he had noticed that soo many other people were wearing blue, like you and i discussed that one time on the phone karen. he was very observent of everything when we were at the embasy.

i wil keep those pics coming mani also picks then out.

I'm sorry that they behaved that way sad.gif but Delhi embassy especially is known to be super rude..so hang in here you are almost done! You should go to interview with Mani and I'm sure they will let you in...they might not let you be at the interview but they will know you are there with him and that is the stongest evidance that both of you are together smile.gif I will pray for you and hope that you get you interview day ASAP!
when Mani goes for his medical make sure they fill out every single form that needs to be filled. b/c of physician's mistake our visa was delayed week and half. sorry I can't tell you what form he didn't fill out b/c Karan got sealed envelope from embassy to take it back to physician and then in return he gave another 'sealed' envelope back to send it back..which I think is stupid that you don't know what's going on and it's about you? anyways don't stress too much..you guys will get the visa in no time!!! smile.gif

Hi Tasha!

I am so sorry to hear about this experience. My fiance was given trouble as well, when he took his packet 3 in person to the Mumbai Embassy they told him they will mail it to him and said he should get his interview date in 3 months. My fiance got a bit upset and then the lady told him to verify his number and called him back and gave him packet 4. I guess we got lucky. But, in your case you were there as well so this was a added bonus. I guess Delhi is tougher in everyway. Just keep on DOS as they will have your interview date soon. I am sure of it. But, on the positive side once he gets his interview I know it will be approved because you are by Mani's side every step of the way. This was just one obstacle that did not come through, but everything else will. I am sure of it smile.gif

star_smile.gif



Thanks Star!

Now i am just wondering also if Delhi will even let me into the embassy for the interivew with mani..do you think they will? Another positive thing Mani and i agreed upon is that now we know where the embassy is and now we know how to talk/ handle the workers at the embassy. Next time will be very positive mani and i pray for that. I am emailing the DOS right now and explaining them the whole situation, i will also be calling them soon again. i also emailed the embassy last night

Another question is the ppl who i spoke with at the counter are those the CO officers or are those just other workers at the embassy? for the interview then they call you back into a specific room which they have for interviews right?

best of luck on getting everything prepared for interview, when is the medical date?

Tasha



I don't think they will let you in from what I have been reading. You can give Mani your US passport so he can take this to the interview and show the officer. This will assure the CO that you are there.

I am not familiar with the embassy staff, but I think most likely those are just embassy workers and not the officers interviewing you.

My fiance is planning to take the medical next week, and he managed to find a medical center that will give him the results the same day. He is getting his PCC this week from the passport office. We applied for it as soon as we got our approval letter.

I am sure if you give Mani your passport to take with him to the interview this will be enough evidence to not have any problems. You will be fine I am sure of it smile.gif.

have a good day everyone and take a few moments to thank all our veterans and remember those who aren't with us today on this Veterans day.


Hi Tasha!

I am so sorry to hear about this experience. My fiance was given trouble as well, when he took his packet 3 in person to the Mumbai Embassy they told him they will mail it to him and said he should get his interview date in 3 months. My fiance got a bit upset and then the lady told him to verify his number and called him back and gave him packet 4. I guess we got lucky. But, in your case you were there as well so this was a added bonus. I guess Delhi is tougher in everyway. Just keep on DOS as they will have your interview date soon. I am sure of it. But, on the positive side once he gets his interview I know it will be approved because you are by Mani's side every step of the way. This was just one obstacle that did not come through, but everything else will. I am sure of it smile.gif

Thanks Star!

Now i am just wondering also if Delhi will even let me into the embassy for the interivew with mani..do you think they will? Another positive thing Mani and i agreed upon is that now we know where the embassy is and now we know how to talk/ handle the workers at the embassy. Next time will be very positive mani and i pray for that. I am emailing the DOS right now and explaining them the whole situation, i will also be calling them soon again. i also emailed the embassy last night

Another question is the ppl who i spoke with at the counter are those the CO officers or are those just other workers at the embassy? for the interview then they call you back into a specific room which they have for interviews right?

best of luck on getting everything prepared for interview, when is the medical date?

Tasha

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 visa for Indian fiancee

If you are legally married before her arrival in the USA then the K-1 visa is no longer a valid visa for you... If you want now a spouse visa, then the marriage needs to occur first and then you begin the petition/visa process


Agreed you would be committing visa fraud!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWedding Date Set and No Visa - We need Help! Please.

K3 is dead. The spouse visa applicable to you is CR1. Looks like you'll need to alter your plans in order to comply with US immigration law. At the moment, you have the cart before the horse. You have not yet applied for any visa. At most, you've filed a petition which when approved, would allow the foreign fiancee to apply for a visa.


Agreed with Pushbrk! to add though it says in ALL VISA GUIDES NOT to make any plans...buying plane tickets, quiting jobs until you have that visa in hand!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPls advice for k-1 process at the Lagos Consulate level
Your US spouse will receive a mail at her US mailing address, and i think i think you will also get an e-mail notifying you of your interview date.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAny experience on 221g Request of additional document at the Lagos Consulate
Go with all the document you took with you on your first interview just like the first post (Suleymon) stated. If the RFE was requested from the US petitioner, i will say fax it, and it in time both to the Lagos Consulate and The beneficiary (your spouse).

Contrary to Anh Map statement, there is a second interview in Lagos Consulate, i went through this same process first interview in January and the later in February 2010 at the Lagos Consul. The RFE was requested from me and not my Spouse who is the petitioner and in the email sent to me from the Lagos Consul i was told to bring them in on my second interview the with letter requesting for the RFE.
