RFE EXPERIENCES

getting your approval after sending in your RFE can take from 30-60 days, sometimes longer. Some ppl have waited a few days to a few weeks, some a few months.
I had an RFE, stupid reason, i filed for K1 fiance visa, and they sent me an RFE asking for my US marriage cert to Edi. I replied back with we dont have one yet as they havent approved him to come here yet.

i got the RFE on 2/27/2006 returned it on 2/28/2006 and was approved on 5/3/2006

Just sent passport size photos of regulation size. As long as they are securely fastened somewhere in the package it really doesn't matter where they are.

And not sending them WILL cause an RFE.

right, however now the OP is saying he will just wait for the RFE

Hello all. I'm new here. I wanted to file my paperwork for the K-1 today, but my fiance's passport photos still haven't arrived from Jamaica. Can I still mail the package without them? Will they deny the package? I wanted to file before alot of people started getting their tax refunds to pay the fees. Please help. I don't know how long it will take for those pictures to arrive!

I'm a nervous wreck!

Laila

When you say 'passport photos', I assume that you mean passport style photo? You are only required to send ONE passport 'STYLE' photo in with the K-1 petition of you and one of your fiance as well. That doesn't mean that your fiance sends a copy of his passport ID photo...just a 'mug shot' like the photos they take for your driver's license and so on. You could just have your fiance take the photo with a digital camera and send it to you. I did mine from home and just printed my photo onto glossy photo paper...Don't send your case in without your fiance's photo because it will only increase the likelihood of your pictures being separated from your file. Your case is supposed to be filed 'first come first serve' but that's not always how it works out...Just wait for the picture to arrive and you'll be good to go.

it needs to be specified that the photos HAVE to be of a certain dimention....2 inch x 2 inch (51 mm x 51 mm) color photo

I re-read my original question, and I didn't mention the G325a at all. So, I wasn't confused about what form requests the passport photos. I will wait until Friday, then if they are still not here, I will mail the package and send the photos when I get an RFE.

if you wait for an RFE, then your prolonging your wait time, why would you want to do that? Just wait til you get the passport photos and then send the package.

CALL Ur fiance to take that passport to photos and mailed it to u by Express mail service.

Thanks. I found this on the USCIS website. Is it still valid? Can I print and include with my package?

http://www.uscis.gov...325A_110105.pdf

Wow, great research,I read the instructions for G325a and it says nothing of photos, but to be sure call them. that document is from 2005, and if they do require photos it will delay your approval. This was in the instructions:
If you have any questions on how to complete the form, call our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

If you read the guides correctly, you will see that passport photos are mentioned, and mentioned to place in plastic bag and attached to the back of the G-325

No, the Guide says to attach a the bag to a sheet of paper and place the sheet behind the G325a. The reason for the order is that's the order the two items are mentioned in the I-129F instructions. It would work just as well to put the sheet with the bag attached, pretty much anywhere in the packet but behind the G325a seems most logical to me.

10. One passport-type photo (see specification) of the foreign fiance(e). Write the full name of the foreign fiance(e) on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of (insert foreign fiance(e) name) ". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a.

oh no i forgot to add the piece of paper

point is, ppl need to read the GUIDES!!
I was just clearing up YOUR statement of "I don't understand why we have such a rash of people lately with the impression the passport pictures are associated with the G325a. ".....bc the guides specify the photos go behind the G-325..its not that they think the photos are FOR the G-325, however makes sense that the photos go with those forms, as the forms are the info about you and your fiance.

This process is intimidating yes, dont let the photos get you down, or you wont make it thru the rest of it. Its better to have him re-do them and send the package later than you wanted, then to have a denial or an RFE. Good luck to ya!

Well since the G325 and the I-129 go together in the same package, it really doesnt matter. I attached Ed's passport photos to the G-325 and there wasnt an issue. To the OP, attach them if you want to the G-325, and yes, you need to wait to have the passport photos before you send out the package, since that was your initial question.

pushbrk, what confusion? The OP was asking about if they needed to wait for the passport photos before sending off the K-1 package, simple answer would be "yes". And yes, the OP can attach them to the G-325, its not going to cause any problems. The guides are correct!

And I can be too literal sometimes

Advising people to read carefully and interpret literally is not a sign of "impatience". It's critical advice for success in the visa process.

especially when the same question gets asked daily.

Its not an insult to adv reading the guides, nor reading the guides carefully. The requirment of meeting within 2 years is stated about as simple as it can get

The problem is he didn't specify apartment # in his form by accident and I'm afraid that could cause problems...

yes address is important. and if he didnt specify the apt number, you should be able to call USCIS and update the address
Also, when approved or if approved, and gone thru NVC, the embassy will need somewhere to mail the package 3

I was able to get in touch with someone by pretending I needed to change my address, I was put through to customer service and I explained my problem the woman found my case and said that it was still pending. When I tried to ask her why I could not see it on the website she repeatedly explained to me that they are still processing cases from March of 2008... I tried to explain to her that still means I should be able to access my case and she began talking over me and repeating herself about the cases in March and since I am from September I should be expected to be patient and wait.
Her tone was so condescending and ignorant. These people have no respect for what we go through. She made me so upset and sad I feel like it will take forever for my case

Why couldnt they at least be nice?

I highlighted the part why they are so mean....

You were "pretending" to need something, thereby wasting the time of the people working there.

Imagine if the 1000's of other applicants call "pretending" to need something.

I would imagine I would be feel pretty frustrated myself...

Put yourself in their shoes

omg get off it.....sometimes you HAVE to push the number for address change to get a human on the line. She did NOTHING wrong with what she did, so stop trying to make her feel like she did.
to the OP...your not the only one who has done it, as a matter of fact, when you do an address change or want info, you get the same type of customer service rep, therefore not taking up anyones time with anything you needed to find out.

Why couldnt they at least be nice?

I was, "pretending" because originally I stayed hours on the phone trying to find out how to get in touch with an actual person. I asked here on VJ how I could get through to someone to help me and they told me to push number three on the menue and say that I am changing my address and then tell them your problem. Thats what I did, and I got through to a lady how transferred my call. So I didnt actually go through with the pretending, I told her I didnt know how to get to a human on that machine. And she didnt say that there is a way. I didnt explain all of this since I thought this was something common that all of us do since there is no other way to get in touch with someone.

Maybe you havent tried calling this number or maybe you havent had any problems seeing your case but maybe what you should do is be more considerate and put yourself in my shoes. If you dont have anything positive to say please dont say it I feel horrible enough already.

1. The check or money order must be drawn on a bank or other financial institution located in the United States and must be payable in U.S. currency; and
2. Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security, unless:
C. If you live outside the United States, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, contact the nearest U.S. consulate or embassy for instructions on the method of payment.

NOTE: Please spell out U.S. Department of Homeland Security; do not use the initials "USDHS" or "DHS."

i-129f instructions

People always hate on me for saying this but frankly, if you're not willing to carefully read form instructions, this process is going to be very diffucult and dissappointing indeed. I'd suggest you go back and read the instructions carefully and do the same with the VJ guides to see what else you may have missed. Even then, it's easy to miss or forget things.

We were putting the finishing touches on my brother in-law's I-130 last night over the phone and just as we were hanging up, he says, "So I mail this to the Nebraska address, right?"

So really if you want to be married to your SO , as much as the whole process sucks for everyone you have no choice but to wait. If you would have know it was going to take so long would you have just not fallen in love with your SO?...

they do have a long wait...however when you end up in a security check mode, it can take almost double the norm time for the approval. however, even if the OP had gone for the K-3, there still may have been a security check time. I believe its AR...administrative review....its when a name has been flagged for whatever security purposes.

Do they automatically pull it from the I-129F form where we "intend to live" or can I give them a P.O. Box or a work address? Thanks:)

I wouldnt give a work address since you both wont be living at work. They are asking for a home address where you will be living, are living if in the US, and where you will be recieving any correspondense from USCIS via snail mail.

You can't register for emails until you have the case number. Case number is on NOA1 so no email notice of an NOA1 is possible.

People.

pushbrk is 100% correct.

It is NOT fraud to come to the US on a tourist visa to marry. It is also not fraud to come to the US on a tourist visa to visit the Public Library. We live in a country where a lot of people come over for fraudulent reasons, and that's why "I came to marry" is a sure way to get you denied entry. The POE has no way of knowing if there is fraudulent intent or not. If the OP says they are planning to file the proper way, then this is the BEST way to do what they're planning to do. Marrying in the US on a tourist visa is not fraud, and not stating that you are planning to marry is also not fraud.

If pushbrk were to recommend that the OP not tell the POE that they were intending to visit a Public Library, he is not encouraging them to lie to the POE, and it's not Visa Fraud. Getting married is no more visa fraud than visiting the Public Library, whether you omit this information or not.

This is valid, accurate information, it is 100% legal, and people do it all the time. Let's stop muddying the waters here, there is absolutely NO ill intent on either the part of the OP or pushbrk. These people want to get married in the US and file legally, so why not congratulate them and wish them well.

To the OP: Listen to pushbrk, and congratulations on your decision to marry. Best of luck to you in the future.

pushbrk you blantenly told the person to lie at the POE...and to make sure NOT to tell the POE the real reasons for being in the US. This is giving bad info on VJ, this is advising someone or anyone its ok to come into the US with intent to marry, as long as you dont tell the person at the POE about it. Its bad advising on our part at VJ

I mean you clearly said..."Now, when he arrives at the port of entry, his purpose is to visit friends and family, not to "get married". The wedding is just one item on the agenda. For example the same answer works when the primary purpose is to "go to Disnyworld". No sense raising flags that will get entry denied. General truth, no lies."

I could care less what the OP and her SO are planning to do...never did...what i have a prob with is you plainly telling someone to make sure they come up with some hairbrained story as to why they are coming into the US if asked...and its improper advising to give on VJ.

That has nothing to do with me stating lieing at the POE is bad....as you can see or read...i edited my statement and corrected it.

If you want to lie at the POE, great...but for us on VJ to tell ppl to do so...in open is a no no and we all know it.

OMG thank you guys soooooo much!! This completely made my day <3

Now, when he arrives at the port of entry, his purpose is to visit friends and family, not to "get married". The wedding is just one item on the agenda. For example the same answer works when the primary purpose is to "go to Disnyworld". No sense raising flags that will get entry denied. General truth, no lies.

Telling someone to lie at the POE is a big no no on VJ...you should know atleast that.

i sent the package in and it was recieved and signed for on 12/29/08. until now i have not received anything from the USCIS, nada, zero, mayo, zilch, nothing, check has not cleared the bank nothiing. so i called them this morning to try and find out what has happened. well guess what, like an idiot i forgot to sign the check so they rejected it but that isnt the bad part. they returned the package via USPS to me on 12/30/08. well guess what i have never received it. up to now i have not seen a thing. I should have been concerned earlier as other people were getting my mail they sent me, like christmas cards, as undeliverable return to sender. why? who the hell knows! i have an idiot for a postman!! i have called the USPS and as you might guess they were worthless.

un*******believeable.

so where does this leave me? i could have the USCIS do a search to see if they had it returned to them as well. it would take 30 days and who knows if anything would turn up. sounds like a total waste of time to me. putting the package back together is no big deal, except for the original signatures from cathy. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH talk about a downer. she is going to be bummed. IDIOTS!!!!!

again i am reminded that 90% of people who say they know what they are doing dont or market themselves as experts arent. mediocrity is excellence for the mediocre.

since this is a family forum i wont type what i really want to type. \

have a good day

Hi
Well you forgot to sign the check
we mailed the check with an amount that USCIS gave us through the phone
it was wrong $10 to much
they returned the whole package stating wrong amount
we had to do it all over again and lost 1 month
to top it off
after this our NOA1 never got to us, no one knows where it be
so we lost 3 months before we where able to get a NOA1 for our 129F
eventually we got them to issue us a copy, not an original
oh yeah we lost 3 months here because every time we called you case could still be in process, call in 1 month after we waithe 1 month for a NOA1 approval

GOOD LUCK WELCOME TO THE USCIS

wow i cant believe they returned your whole package bc you paid over by $10

I dont see where this is everyone elses fault and everyone is an idiot if he didnt sign the check.

As the above poster stated...learn from this....put the package back together remember and double check to sign the check this time and re-send it.

Marriage before K1...?

Me and Edi had a Romanian wedding for his parents in Romania...it was not documented, more a ceremony. There were no issues with that.
If you want to have a "ceremony" in your fiances country...make sure its not a documented marriage, and NEVER during the process...like the interview or any corrospondence with USCIS say you got "MARRIED" in your fiances country. Bc techniclly....if its not documented..you didnt. If its a documented wedding/marriage, you are no longer elegible for the K1 and will need to go the K3..or DCF route
