K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDON'T FORGET YOUR TAX TRANSCRIPT!

sorry guys.. but I just want to clarify.. you are saying they want "Tax Account Transcript" not Tax Return?? :bonk:


I have heard that this is consulate specific.Accra Consulate requires tax transcripts.I am not sure if it is the same with your consulate.Check to find out whether that is the case or not.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDON'T FORGET YOUR TAX TRANSCRIPT!
On the tax transcripts I tried to request them about a week ago but they were not available.Does anyone know when they will become available?I am referring to the transcripts for 2011.I filed my taxes about two weeks ago.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI129F Forgot some info

I am always afraid to give wrong advice so others may want to comment on this but maybe wait until you have a case# then send in a new page of the 129F with the correct info to attach to your already sent app....since u already know that it is missing take action so you don't have to wait for RFE which will only delay approval of your application.


I forgot some information myself and rather than wait and get a RFE, I sent the missing information.they returned it to me.I never got a RFE, so I will advisce that you wait till you get a RFE if you get one at all.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about the validity date of NOA2 approval notice
You dont even have to wait two weeks to contact NVC.I was approved on 02/01/12 and I contacted them on 02/6/12 they confirmed receipt of the petition and provided me with the case number.I am calling daily to see if it has been sent yet.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat does it mean when NVC say their doing futher review
They said additional review to me on Monday and that it takes a few days.I called back yesterday and they told me the package was mailed to Ghana on wednesday.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow I track my case from NVC to the Embasy
We did not include a P.O BOX on the I-129F form since the form only asked for physical address.I am hoping I get an email or letter sent to my address because there is no way they can mail the letter to the physical address in Accra.

what do u do if the 2011 transcript is not ready? i have all transcripts but 2011


If you have filed your taxes , 2011 tax transcripts are ready.I requested mine a week ago and got them yesterday for tax year 2011.
keyshawn18MaleGhana2012-02-15 11:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes it mean that NVC sent my case to the Embassy?
I sent them an email, abu also sent them an email.I got a system generated email back and abu got an email.Bismark.At least you should be getting the system generated email within about 5 minutes of you sending them an email.I think its just an issue of them logging in the information in the system.You dont have to even bother calling NVC anymore because they dont have it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswhen should i start my medicals for my April interview
Thanks Buddy.So it took roughly three weeks for the consulate to get your forms from NVC.That is not bad at all considering it happened over thanksgiving.I am hoping for a similar timeline for an interview to be scheduled for my fiancee.I am hoping that she is here latest by end of August or maybe early September.
keyshawn18MaleGhana2012-02-07 10:53:00

Jarta, Can you please update your time line so we can get an idea of when the consulate recieved your paperwork and also when you received packet 3 etc.Thanks.I am trying to get an idea of when so we can decide when to do the medicals etc.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs there anything like OF-167 form
I just googled the form and looked at it.It seems to be a checklist and at the bottom ogf the page its asking who will be going to the interview with you.If you are not married you only have to check the box next to ALONE.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures2011 Tax transcripts
Jarta, there is still a few months between now and your interview so I am sure you will get the financial docs you need and she will be able to file and get the transcripts before your interview.Lets say for arguements sake she gets all the documents by Mid March and files and the taxes are accepted by first week in April and you request the transcripts and get it 5 days later, she should still be able to get the transcripts to you before your interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures2011 Tax transcripts
Update.I went on the website and I was able to request the 2011 tax transcripts.I guess it is available as soon as your taxes have been processed.Like I said earlier.I received my return today.They saidI should get it in about 5-10 days.

I will wait till I get the transcripts.I just received my refund this morning so I am sure in the next couple of months I should get the transcripts.I dont anticipate that the interview will be before June so I am sure I will have it by then.

Has anyone been able to get their 2011 tax transcripts yet?I filed my taxes about two weeks ago but when I went to the IRS website to request tax transcripts they were not avaialable.I am sure I am pretty early but do I have to wait until April 17th to request them or can I try and request them again? Thanks.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs this going to be a problem at the Interview

All answers above are either wrong or nonresponsive. The OP is asking about the interview in Accra. The consular interview has nothing to do with USCIS requirements of having met within the last 2 years; no one dealing with a completely different country has any business saying "no problem"; and "the grace of God" has zero to do with visa approval. OP, read the Embassy Info and Reviews: Embassy for Accra, and read the threads in the appropriate Regional Subforum, and you'll get a better idea. Eight days is awfully little time to have spent in person together, especially for a consul in a high-fraud country.


Thank God you were able to save the day with your great suggestion on how to resolve the problem.
keyshawn18MaleGhana2012-04-02 07:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs this going to be a problem at the Interview
The requirement on the form was that you should have met at least once in the last year and you have satisfied that.You have tons of evidence that you are currently communicating and in touch so you should be fine.
keyshawn18MaleGhana2012-03-30 11:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow do i get contacted
You have to email the embassy.I did the same thing.On my form I put the physical address but once NVC alerted me that the case had been sent to Accra, i emailed the consulate in Accra and they sent me an email telling me when my fiancee should come and pick up packet 3.
keyshawn18MaleGhana2012-04-04 16:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat are the chances for approval

I want to know if my fiancee being present for my interview will help a lot, and also I will like to know if she would be allowed into the interview section of the embassy. Anyone with recent experience should kindly advice us. Thank you



Unless her presence is required, I wouldnt even bother having her travel all the way to come to Ghana.I have read some reviews where the US citizen has been present in the embassy but not part of the interview.There is also a recent review where a both beneficiary and petitioner were there and although the petitioner was not invited to the interview, the consular interviwed the petitioner.
She is not required to be there and her Check the reviews to see the various experiences and her presence does not mean they will issue the visa.Issuance of the visa depends solely on whether they believe your evidence or not.
I wouldnt worry if I were you.You have a real relationship and you have enough evidence.Just focus on getting all the requested documents and you wil be fine.
keyshawn18MaleGhana2012-04-05 21:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi want to know if it wil be a problem
Dude, Check your timeline.I think you made a mistake wih the dates .If you sent your paperwork in October you most likely woud have received your NOA1 last October.IT takes about 5 months to get your NOA2 but your timeline says i took 16 days which is impossible.Fix it if you get a chance so that anyone following your timeine can get an accurate picture of how long it could take.

As usual my boy is prepared.Going fully armed .This is like going to a knife fight with a B-52!!!!!!! Better safe than sorry.Afterall what good will the documents do you if they are sitting at your house and you are in the interview room.Give them a good random sample.A little bit of everything.That will show them that you guys use a whole lot of media to communicate.Lets go get it next monday!!!!!

Don't call anyone. It narrows itdown to no more than 99 phones and guess whose phone it WOULD be? Really this is not an issue. You need to present plausible evidence of a relationship. This is that. Present it with your other evidence and sleep well.


I agree Bro.Its not a big deal.Verizon did not have your full number because after adding the country code, city code there simply wasnt enough characters to include your full phone number.One the application I am sure you have listed your full phone number.relax and let it breathe.Monday will be a day to celebrate and I will be celebrating for you.

I am a bit confused.If you are engaged, don't you wear your engagement ring daily?So I dont understand why the interview has any bearing on you wearing your engagement ring.I assume you wear teh ring on a dialy basis, so why take it off because of the interview?I think it might be harder to explain why you are NOT wearing the ring than wearing it like you normally do.

Keep in mind nobody on VJ is an adjudicator, people are merely stating what their opinions are based on same/similar circumstances but no two circumstances are the same and you cannot account for what the CO is thinking on who the CO on a specific case is.Dont be afraid based on the posts you read here.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresshould i be worried?
Thats a little strange.How did they schedule an interview for you when NVC hasn't even approved your visa? Normally it goes like this, after you get approved by NVC, your status should say approved, NOA2, NVC sends your package to Ghana, you get your packet 3&4, your interview date is set and you go for your interview.At least thats how it happened in my case.

We were approved by the US consulate in Accra today.There were a total of 4 questions asked.Where I work, how long I have worked there, what I do, whether I live in a house or apartment, whether i have a roommate or not.pretty basic stuff.My fiancee had so much evidence that her bag containing the evidence broke because of the sheer weight.Now I am off to looking for tickets to the USA.Thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences and for sharing ideas and answering questions.I appreciate everything.

I agree 7 months is a long time especially considering its not even gone to NVC and the US consulate.Most take about 5- 6 months at that stage but then again they could be backlogged and it could be any day now.You can call the 800 number but the customer service people are of little use.Just hope and pray it comes quick.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisitors visa while wait for K-1 approval.
I dont know about a K-1 visa, but I have a friend who is a permanent resident and filed an I-130 for his wife and he is aware that it could take at least two more years since he will not become a citizen before then.He had his wife apply for a visitors visa and when she went to the interview the consular officer told her that while an I-130 is pending they will not process a non -immigrant visa and that she should wait until the outcome odf the I-130.So to answer you yes, nothing is stopping you from applying but be prepared to hear a similar response.

10 years difference is nothing to be worried about at all.Neither is the time you spent with him.I went to Ghana twice to see my fiance both trips totaled about 20 days or close to it.The important thing is the timeline between your divorce and when you were engaged.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresletter of intent to marry.. need help please

I am in the same boat. I did not send the intenty to marry form and I just left my fiancee on tuesday 6/28/11. Did I mention I had the forms downloaded on my laptop. AY-YA-YAI! I feel like a dumb fool. I did try to get on VJ while I was there in Haiti but there was no internet access. I am going to mail it to him and have him sign it and mail it back to me to see if they can attach it to my file.

What would I do without VJ and friends...

Chynna


I agree with the previous poster who said that sending something after you have sent your documents is an exercise in futility.I forgot to inlcude a suppliment to question 18, when we met..... and I sent it with my NOA1 and a letter of instyruction.They just mailed it back to me. So dont bother, just wait till they send you a RFE and then include it.
