our daughter was born in our home....so I was thinking of sending a video of the birth...which is less than two years ago and shows the father throughout the labor and obviously me giving birth...plus birth certificate......do the accept a disco with video as evidence?

because we have never stayed in a hotel and i dont have plane ticket stubbs. also i have lots of pictures....of the three of us together, i feel like that is obvious proof?!

thank everyone for their opinions and replys!


they don't accept media (cd,dvd,vhs tapes) and i don't think they want to see you give birth blink.gif no offense but that is just too personal wacko.gif



i really could care less if they do or dont want to see me give birth....they are asking for proof and that is pretty solid proof
and it seems as though they want you to get personal

Honestly, better proof is the birth cert with the fathers name. you could have given birth to anyones child in the video for all they know. I also do not think they take video's DVD's and such, as they dont really have time to view them.
and no it doesnt speed up the process. I had my husbands son before starting the process, and we waited the norm.

Good Luck on your journey.

QUOTE (Starlight95 @ Jul 5 2009, 07:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
So, this 5 month processing time includes the approval only. Correct?

yes. Once you have the approval it goes to the NVC and there it sits for a couple days or longer...then goes to the emb. anything with USCIS timelines has to do with the petition and approval estimates.

hire a lawyer to save time???? no IT WILL SLOW YOU DOWN!!!

THAT'S NOT REALLY TRUE!

That is 100% true. You have to send all the paperwork to the attorney and then they attorney files it with USCIS. So just by the nature of the USPS, it is impossible for a lawyer to speed up the process.

Also, you have to pay them up front, so they really have no incentive to do anything quickly.

I'll say this for the 50th time. If your case is straight-forward, an attorney WILL slow down your case.

I agree with the lawyer thing...sometimes getting one can make your process longer and more painful. I would do this on your own as it is not hard to fill out the paperwork, and the rest is waiting. People here can help alot, and you can get help on filling out the forums in the guides section.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhat happens if we don't get the K-1 in time???
Its most valuable infomation you can get on this is do not make a wedding date until you are approved. Even if you make the wedding date 300 days away, you can not predict what the uscis is going to do. You could wait 4 months or 2 yrs, you never know...and planning a wedding and missing that date is not only hurtful but a loss of money as well.

Wrong info can be bad for the poster. He isnt even in the interview stage yet, so giving this kind of info, and to continue to say the country affects the approval of the petition is bad info.
When waiting on an approval for the PETITION, the country is NOT an issue.
Before replying to posts, make sure they are read properly, again bad info can cause problems.
When this OP ends up at the interview stage, then his consulate will be a concern, until then, no.
And i stress again to the OP...before asking more questions on your case or in general on your case especially about time frames...FILL IN YOUR TIMELINE...it is important when people are going to give you advice.

It actually is the country a bit.
I mean, if you look at the middle eastern countries, there seems to be an awful lot of common first and last names, and it takes a while to fish around them.
I mean, why else would most people from the middle east go through extra processing?

But like we mentioned, it's mostly name checks and how the embassy processes things is what holds people up.


I agree. It depends on the consulate, which is obviously 100% correlated with the country.

I think MENA gets more scrutiny because of terrorism concerns. Certain other nations (like Vietnam & Nigeria) get more scrutiny because of higher fraud. Others (like Canada) are backlogged. Country of origin does not explain 100% of the variance, of course, but it definitely IS a factor.

It honestly is not bc of country. The middle east isn't actually the longest processing wait... Asian countries and some others can be long as well, during the AFTER petition approval wait. It would be easy to blame it on what country your from, but thats not the case. ANY country can get caught up in a name check...there are common names in every country. And the name check, AP is not bc of many people having a common name...it is an FBI name check. Someone named David Spooner could be on the FBI watch list...and a guy from France with the same name could be filing for K1 visa and end up on the FBI name check...he isnt from the middle east...and it has nothing to do with him being French.
Also some may get an RFE while others may not. an RFE can delay your case up to 60 days. So lets say you filed in March, and Joe filed in June...but Joe was approved first bc you received and RFE.

Also larry-jaana...you need to fill in your timeline...helping you on processing times per your case is fuzzy without knowing the date you filed, the date you received your NOA1 and so on. smile.gif

The country of the immigrant is not why some take longer than others. You could be from England or Canada or even Australia and have a name that comes up on the FBI list and end up in AP...so thats not a reason. It depends on the case...some cases are more complex than others. And your case could be with an adjudicator thats working on a complex case and hasn't gotten to yours yet, while another adjudicator is working on lots of non complex cases and all of those go through quickly. It also depends on the adjudicator and how fast he works. backlogs at the service centers have a lot to do with it too...depending on your SC...when I was doing the petition i was at CSC....and VSC was going much faster...therefore people who petitioned 2 months after me were getting approvals before me if they applied at VSC. Its a case to case situation...its not in order as to who dated theirs before the others.
I hope this can help a bit:

Hi there...the last 3 years I got 2 fiancee visas. The first time my fiance wasn't sure about marriage so I came back home. the second time we got married but the marriage lasted for only couple of months. I had my change of status interview in february but I left the country before I get the greencard since then I've never heard about USCIS anymore. Only 2 weeks before I leave I met an wonderful guy who came to visit in my home country this month. We want to start another fiancee visa process since I'm legally divorced now. Will I have any problem asking for it? My boyfriend hasn't done this before. Please I need some helpful information. blush.gif



Wow, you're the first I've heard who went through all this two times! After your divorce and AOS interview I believe you could have petitioned to stay on your own. But that's water over the dam now. You should be fine to try again. Good luck with number 3!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long between NOA2 and Interview?
There is no estimated time anyone can give. It will all depend on how long it takes the NVC to send your paperwork to the embassy...and then how long it takes for your SO to get the packet3 and return it.

Each CO is different at the embassy. Some really like to see fotos of the couple, some don't. Luck of the draw.

I would take photos regardless as you dont know if they will want to see them or not.

You have 90 days to get married once you arrive in the US with a K-1 Visa... so please don't give the poster misinformation. Whenever they get to the US, as long as it's within the 6 month timeframe, they would then have 90 days to get married. No rush needed.

yes i stand corrected...i left out the "you have 6 months to enter the US on the visa...then you have 90 days to get married"
that wasnt misinformation, it was the right information however i failed to adv on the 6 months before entering the US. my information was correct per entering the US.
Im also happy to see the OP updated their timeline, it helps. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExtending time before K-1 interview
October would be 6 months to April. Once your visa is approved you have exactly 6 months to get married in the USA. In my opinion I would leave for the US as soon as you have the visa and get married before the 6 months. Why you would want to wait in Peru for 6 months then try to rush back to the states is risking the whole process you just went through.

yes id love to add some things :)

1. if you get married and you filed papers with the court or state in the place you were married, you CANNOT FILE THE K1 FIANCE VISA

2. if you go back to your fiances country and get married and still try to come on a K1, YES you will be denied

3. uscis is not that stupid, they have computers and the ability to check on these things if they need to.

4. DONT FORGET, everything you send and tell to the immigration is sworn by a nortary therefore can be in contempt if lied about.

and finally, K1 = FIANCE (not married, wanting to marry)
K3 = SPOUSE (husband, wife, already married, no longer want to marry bc already married)
