K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	1-134 co-sponsor and retirement income	Oh. Guess there's alot out there that i just haven't had to worry about knowing then.	Moonandstar	Male	China	2010-02-01 23:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	1-134 co-sponsor and retirement income	That doesn't seem to make any sense. You're right, but it's the truth. I thought the point of a co-sponsor was to make up the difference for what the petitioner can't take care of himself/herself. Also, the K1 visa income requirement should be 100% of poverty from what I've read, as the 125% only applies to K3 visa applicants or immigrant visa applicants (since the K1 is technically classified as a non-immigrant visa). In this case, am I also counted as part of my grandfather's household, or not (since I'm not his dependent)? My grandmother is in assisted living, so she's technically a dependent. In this case would his total household size be counted as 3, then? (My grandfather, his wife and my fiance?) If that's the case, then his income is enough. Any clarification is much appreciated! Thanks! No, your grandfather still has to make all of the income himself, and it must be 125%. You say that's for the K-3. but the K-3 is also a non-immigrant visa. 100% is only if you are active duty military. I believe that the household size would be 3 (if your grandmother and grandfather are married, then that's 2 regardless of whether or not she's dependent). I'm also having my grandfather (who is retired as well) cosponsor for me, so we should keep in touch about getting financial info from them in order. Just a thought.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Made a mistake in my G-325A	First, dont worry. Its not that big of a mistake, and its not really a very essential form. They'll ask questions about it at the embassy if they notice it then. I had the same problem, but i had VSC. Actually, my mistake was not signing the form. A much bigger deal than not listing the name of an employer. Its was my fiancee's form though, which ive heard really can be signed later if it wasn't before. Really, from what Ive seen, an RFE should only add about a month onto the processing time, at VSC at least. However, i didnt want to take any chances. What we did was fill out a new G-325, and made a new cover letter explaining the error and the changes made and then sent that off to VSC with our USCIS receipt number on the cover letter. But really, I don't know if they ever even got it. Our case was approved in 2 months with no RFEs. Here's the cover letter we made with specific information edited out: I-129F: G325a Correction James Bond I-129F USCIS Recipt No: EAC-up-the-butt Return add: 78960, Mars United States Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Vermont Sevice Center 75 Lower Welden Street St. Albans, VT 05479-0001 11/1/2009 Nature of the submission: I-129F G-325a Form Replacement/ Correction To Whom It May Concern: Enclosed please find my Form G-325a, Biographical Information for my Fiancee- princess, Pending our current I-129F petition. Contents include: - Corrected G-325a form for Benefitary: princess Reason for correction/ differences from original: The original G325a submitted for princess contained an error under ‘Applicant’s employment last five years’. The form enclosed shows the proper answer. The orginal G325a submitted also lacked answers under both applicant’s signature, and applicant’s name in native alphabet. The reason for all errors were oversight. I would also like to remind the adjudicator that, even though the original G325a was unsigned, It should not be grounds for an RFE, under the USCIS memo stating that the foreign fiancee’s G325 need not be signed. However this oversight was mostly corrected for simplicity and peace of mind. Thanks! James Bond, Petitioner	Moonandstar	Male	China	2010-04-21 13:34:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	EOR and I-129f package	Your fine, i sent our I-129f off with the bare neccessities as well, question 18 was about 1 paragraph in length. For the interview i prepared an EOR (that i had spent 7 months writing, revising and editing) that was'nt even looked at. (<<thats after she INSISTED that they take it, because we blew the $30 to have it notarized at GUZ.) I think the EOR letter is overrated, and really is just something that is 'nice to have' in case they ask for it- which isnt all that often. Just make sure you prepare and train your girl for the interview, and anything that may have been laking in the 129f (ie EOR) can be presented to them then.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can I-129f be submitted while fiancee in US for a visit?	You can submit the application at any time. The only requirement is that he is not in the us come his interview time (how else to obtain a visa?). As for POE, i do believe they appreciate the truth. They may or may not have records of the 129f on file.	Moonandstar	Male	China	2010-05-28 01:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Should we get married or Fiancee?	As far as getting married (CR1) or applying as a fiancee (K1), that is a decision that you will have to make. From what I have gathered here, if you do not directly file, the k1 tends to be slightly shorter (by a couple of weeks only) but also costs more money. That. Alot more money- not to mention you deal with the process twice as K-1 (referring to AOS here). I'm not sure it will change how they view your case any though.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	positive TB test	Hi! I've completed my TB treatment in 2008. I was completely asymptomatic -- no coughs, no fever, I was sputum negative -- except for a small finding in my lung. Nevertheless, I still underwent treatment. I understand how you feel. I had been in denial during the first few months of the finding (which is normal in illness), but I eventually accepted the fact that I had to undergo treatment. Before I started with the meds, I had been bargaining, just as you are now, for a shorter duration of treatment, especially since some books and some doctors mentioned this, and because I was asymptomatic. However, in reality, TB, whether active or inactive, is usually treated for 6-9 months. There is no way to make a shortcut, especially if your fiancee will be crossing borders and needing medical clearance. USA is very strict about communicable diseases, so there is no way that you can get away with the complete course of treatment. In your country, people who do not have any x-ray findings but have a positive skin-test would undergo 6-9 months of prophylactic therapy with Isoniazid. How much more if the x-ray already reveals something? All the more that there is a need for complete treatment. (By the way, I am in the medical profession.) As for her kidney problem, I don't know its extent, but you are correct that anti-TB drugs can be toxic to the kidneys, but if she is young and strong, and if she undergoes regular kidney (and liver) check-ups, she'll be fine. It'll be ok. Even pregnant women can continue taking anti-TB drugs (except for streptomycin) without harming the fetus. Encourage your fiancee to complete the treatment without fail, she has to be compliant everyday, because it will show in her records. If she is not compliant or if she does not complete the recommended duration of treatment, she will be at more risk for relapse and having drug-resistant TB, which is one of the worst that could happen with faulty compliance. ^ Pretty sound advice. I'm no expert on how harmful the treatment is to kidneys.	Moonandstar	Male	China	2010-07-22 00:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	positive TB test	the doctors agree that it's gone, BUT said it's mandatory that she finishes the 6 months as per US rules, that's why i'm here seeking advise because this is not only what we want ourselfs, but also with the Doctors blessings. Oh, well that really sucks. Yea, you can be sure the US laws ain't lookin out for ya. Much more so than the doctors. Unfortunately, if noting else this translates into an automatic 6 month wait. I would stay on good terms with the doctors, and not continue the medicine behind-the-scenes if I were SURE that the TB was gone. For good. In the mean time, if you get bored during the 6 months, you call always call the consulate every other day and bug them about it. Who knows, maybe a supervisor would be willing to listen.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	positive TB test	she's still taking them as we speak. we just want to find a way to get her here to the US asap, and if it can be shorten the better. Oh, well trust me, dont let her getting to the US of A ASAP be a factor in you two's decision. Her life is more important, wouldn't you agree? I think you two should make this decision purely from a medical standpoint, and only consider which course of action is best for her health. Besides, if the doctors dont agree with you two, there still is no way to shorten the wait. Edited by Moonandstar, 21 July 2010 - 11:21 PM.	Moonandstar	Male	China	2010-07-21 23:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	positive TB test	thanks for your reply. what i'm saying is the option is not up to us. they are saying 6 months, and are not giving any room. the GZ office said this is mandatory from the USCIS, so what options do we have if we want to cut it off at 3 or 4 months? thanks Like i said, if your sure that's what you want to do, dump the pills. But please do as much research as possible before you make a decision. It's not one to be taken lightly. I highly doubt that GUZ will listen to your plight (or one of an attorney's) over the doctor's, so fighting their decision outright (although i would talk to them yourself at least one more time before you decide) probably wont work. I would also cover your a$$ and be sure that they wont test blood work to make sure she's taking them, should you decide to quit. O yea, and dont tell them she's stopped. Btw, has she even told the doctors about her kidneys? Edited by Moonandstar, 21 July 2010 - 11:14 PM.	Moonandstar	Male	China	2010-07-21 23:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	positive TB test	I was reading some thread about TB and came across this I met a girl at SLMEC and there was already scarring in her lungs. She also brought with her an old x-ray film. I am not sure of the diagnosis, but although she had to undergo sputum culture for 2 months, she was also prescribed fr a medication for two months. And did it in her province. After two months, she came back to SLMEC (that's when I met her), and she had another x-ray. Her x-ray then was clear and she was given clearance. So she did not undergo the 6 months PTB medications. http://www.visajourn...tomatic__st__15 so this is the same exact situation as her? that's why i asked why she was given clearance after only 2 months. I guess all that can be said is that every person's different. Some might be better off taking the extra 6 mo's, some may not. But ultimately, you (the patient at least) need to be person looking out for yourself. There are plenty of doctors out there that are only in this stuff for the money (USCIS civ. surgeons are proof of that), and you need to make the call for yourself. I'm not saying you shouldn't take the doctors advice- but unless you or she knows the doctor really well you likely have no way of knowing what this guy's motivations for prescribing the meds are. With a bad kidney, and meds that are like kemo (ie. burning down the house to get rid of the rats), its up to you two to decide what to do. Which would you rather take a chance on, and which one seems the be the safest way? Cut the treatment? And risk full blown TB? Or complete the treatment, and risk one (or two?) kidneys. I think maybe a compromise would be your best bet, ie. 3 months. But again, i dont know the circumstances, only you two and your doctor do. Edited by Moonandstar, 21 July 2010 - 10:37 PM.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Vaccines	She can do it in either country, its not necessary for the visa, just the GC. But, having said that, i would advise you to get it done with her medical, and have the doctors place the records of both the medical AND the vaccines together. Should save some trouble later on, and is likely to be cheaper than the US. Edited by Moonandstar, 23 July 2010 - 06:03 AM.	Moonandstar	Male	China	2010-07-23 06:03:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How do you stop the K-1 Visa processing?	Hi, Yes, schmoopy is my fiancee. She is the U.S. petitioner. I am in Dublin, Ireland. We already checked with the Dublin embassy earlier this year and they said that I-134 self-sponsorship is completely out of their hands and up to the Department of State. They emphasized the importance of having a sponsor in our particular case. We already fleshed out the income requirements for us in the following thread and established that we would need $22850 (125% of the guidelines minus her SSDI times 3) for the K-1, if self-sponsorship would be allowed. The amount would be the same for the K-3 according to people in that thread so we would be good either way. I will check on K-3 specifics today just to be on the safe side. We don't know anyone in the U.S. who would be willing to sponsor, so that option is out. Don't worry about my outrageous question in that regard as it was mainly meant to elicit a response and consequently a discussion (although it would certainly be nice to have a saviour step up and save the day for us ), which it did. Many thanks for your replies. @Tater&#######: why do you write "Point short, you'd be denied regardless if that's your real concern. If your real concern is time and you just want to be together than stay on the path you're on. It's the best one." How would we be denied with a K-3? I think he meant that if you did have financial problems (lets be clear, you CANNOT SELF-SPONSOR under any circumstances- It must be a USC that sponsors you) you would be denied for that reason regardless of which visa path you took. The requirements are the same for all visas. And for the record, do NOT do K-3. From the posts ive seen from you two you guys still have ALOT of research left to be done, so get studying, and study hard. Read the same stuff not once, not twice, but at least 3 TIMES, if not more. For me i often found stuff i missed the 1st/2nd times around. Besides, last i heard the K-3 was being phased out- i bet you heard K-3 is faster than CR-1 eh? WRONG, that information is old. Now Cr-1s are making it out FASTER (not to mention ALOT cheaper/easier) than K-3s, so it may or may not even be an option anymore. A person in their right mind WILL want to go CR-1, rather than K-3.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Another vaccine waiver...	Here's another exciting vaccination waiver, basically i just have 2 simple questions, of which i have seen some vague and contradictory information around the interwebs. 1. Will i need to include an additional $585 for the I-601 if filed concurrently with the I-485? 2. Do i still need to prove extreme hardship?

China	Shipping from china to the states	Not sure how many are familiar with a taiji dagan ??, but im attempting to get one to the states. Only problem is, no one wants to help. Its about 4 meters long, (13 ft), narrow and wooden. About 20 pounds too. Sea freight is an option- i just want to get it there! But ems wont even talk about the subject, DHL says the limit for express is 3.3, and fedex and ups take the side of ems. Some from dhl have been helpful enough to work on it for me, but some people say the hard limit for the USA is 1.5 (bullshit), and the person that was my best guy for this called customs in HK and they replied, "tai ma fan le". Cute. Anyway, i just want somebody to give me a yes- so far its just no after no. Anywhere under 60 days to get there is ok, and it has to be a reasonable price. I've already had one guy say he'll do it for me, but he decided to screw himself out of it when he told me 2500rmb. DHL guy said 1440. So how do people get their cars here? #### me, just stick it in a container with someone's car, problem solved. It dont need business class seating. Sending from Zhengzhou, henan, to charlotte, NC.

China	forced abortion in 9th month	QUOTE (justashooter @ Dec 19 2009, 12:10 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> unbelievable propoganda that nobody in their right mind would accept if they've ever been to the real china. ^Couldn't agree more. That's the exact same thing i was thinking a month ago when this started. Ya know, i'm confident that my girl and her family are among the 'impoverished families' that have been stated. I'm sure that i likely have one of the poorest in-law families on this forum. Like justashooter said- one water pipe in the middle of the house that was always left on because it would rarely have water to put out; heating wasn't even part of the question; but I'll give the electricity the benefit of the doubt: my girl says what electricity they had has been there for about a good 20 years though. Only the TV, and this year's very new refrigerator to support though. Along with a couple of hanging light bulbs. They cooked with a bonfire: kinda like a fireplace, but with metal bowels on top. Actually quite refreshing if you ask me- i enjoyed the smell of burning pine every time we cooked, and its actually a lot more efficient than it sounds. They farmed to grow their own food, and even owned a fairly large range of cotton, which i helped them harvest in October. God knows how many other little gardens they owned scattered around the village though. Her dad worked as a part time taxi driver (one of those little motorbikes with a box-like seating on the back), i say part time because, he only offered services if he was already going someplace himself. They owned a couple of chickens, and a pig, which lived inside the courtyard of their home. If you had to ######, you needed to find a public restroom. Or outhouse rather. This is the truth of a great number of rural families in China. Personally, i found it quite relaxing. Chenjiagou is only a few steps ahead, and i enjoyed my time there (although im STILL getting used to not having heat inside!).	Moonandstar	Male	China	2009-12-18 15:53:00

Sorry for a semi-hijack, but on that note, do you think that for a cosponsor who is retired but meets the income requirements in taxable income, should he also provide asset information, or just leave it blank as well? Particularly if the taxable income is mostly from stock investments? I was planning to submit about as much as JRSmooth for my cosponsor.	Moonandstar	Male	China	2010-01-27 22:03:00
China	Undecided about the I-134.....	BTW did have another question: Anyone know that if we interview before April 15 this year, will we need to have 2009 tax reports? And how long after filing my 2008 returns can i ask for a transcript (or cert. copy)?	Moonandstar	Male	China	2010-01-01 01:07:00
China	Undecided about the I-134.....	QUOTE (justashooter @ Jan 1 2010, 01:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you're too young to be getting married, friend. especially to a girl you met over the interwebs. you need to go live in china for a few years and meet a gaggle of girls there before you know which one you really want to keep. do what you want, but take it from a guy who married young, and regretted it later. wasted years... I wouldn't jump to assumptions, especially when talking to someone who first went to China when he was 18. I'm surprised, i didn't expect you to make such a comment, but it makes sense- i agree wayyy too many people meet online in theis process, in my opinion. I however, did not. I went to china to study taiji at the ripe age of 18, and happened to meet a great girl while i was there. 5 years older than me BTW. I've heard the round up over and over again, and even i agree when you say i'm too young. I can tell you, i wouldn't be getting married unless i was ABSOLUTELY sure i wanted (& needed) to do it. By the way, been there and done that. & All b4 20. I've been living in China for 1&1/2 years. Also nearly proficient in the language. Had it in high school too. Now, if you would like to make a productive comment that answers my question, please feel free to do so. Edited by Moonandstar, 01 January 2010 - 12:42 AM.	Moonandstar	Male	China	2010-01-01 00:39:00
China	Undecided about the I-134.....	Ok, gross income for 2008 was 66000, of that 44300 is taxable. No dependents, and they were filed on the behalf of both my grandfather and grandmother. I forget the exact numbers for sponsorship- what do you think darnell, enough?	Moonandstar	Male	China	2009-12-30 11:48:00
