K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 & the visitor visa.
Not necessarily true... You can file an I-130 and I-485 concurrently it depends on what your facts and circumstances are....

Ok my bad,

It was my understanding that the I130 had to be approved before hand.

Once we have our marriage certificate we file the I-130 correct. Then I can apply for a AOS with the I-485 correct?



Your I130 has to be @ approved status before a AOS can be filed.

First and foremost I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to read and or respond to this.

I am a Canadian citizen, I have been working in the US on a TN visa for the past 6 years. I recently went to renew and was denied because I was missing some paperwork which I had never seen as a requirement or been asked for, regardless. I asked for visitor visa to come back and pack up my apt/figure out what to do. The border agent gave me a 14 day visa.

I have a Girlfriend in the US, we have been dating for 4 years living together for the last 2. When I entered the US on my visitors visa I had nod idea what I was going to do and was extremely stressed out about the situation. Once I returned my girlfriend and I were discussing options and one of the ones that came up was marriage. Neither of us had planned on it, not that we didn't see a future together but it hadn't been discussed.

If we go down to the courthouse get married and file AOS. Will I be reprimanded for falsely entering the country on my visa.

My concern is it looks bad. Does anyone have any experience with this.


The AOS would only apply on your marrage if you had a I130 allready pending. You can not have a I130 pending until after the marrage.
If you love her, marry her. And file the I130. But you can expect that it will not be a quick fix to your problem.

USEM is close on Philippine holidays too right??? what happened to the interview??

They posted on their website that it is a holiday, but the embassy is still open.

Thay wasn't the biggy. Her flight was canceled to Manila.

We had to scramble and get her a last minute flight out at 5 times the price.
And of course they did not refund the money for the first ticket.
But she is in Manila now. Yea fun allready!

************************************************************

Please note that while National Heroes Day falls on Sunday, August 26, the Philippine Government has now declared that this holiday will be observed on Monday, 27 August 2007. The Embassy will not change its holiday calendar and will celebrate National Heroes Day on Sunday, with the Embassy remaining open for business as usual on Monday, 27 August 2007.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMistakely applied for K-4
QUOTE (maekai05 @ Aug 27 2007, 07:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi,
My husband made mistake on I-129F application. We have 2 children together, and they have US citizenship, but since they are with me in Japan, my husband filled their names out on under " list of all children of your allien fiance" and wrote "US citizen" next to their names.
I believe this is the spaces for applying for K-4.

Since our children are US citizens, we don't need to appy for K-4 visa for our kids.
Will it be a problem ? Since ours is taking so long to be approve in USCIS, I am thinking this is causing us the delay.

Also,
How many of us in March fillers who are applying for K-3 and K-4 are not approved in USCIS, yet ?

THank you


Since they are both your children and he noted they are US citizens.
I do not think that will be a problem for you.

Easily explained at the interveiw.
