K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresALL original documents to bring at the interview?

Hello all again for today!

 

Do i have to bring to the interview, ALL the original documents (forms, proof of relationship...) related to the beginning of our papers with the i-129f?

I ask you that as my fiancé sent me some copies and not the originals. I was wondering if it was a problem.

 

I thank you in advance for your help!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdocument translation Italian -English

I translated the documents myself and took them to a Notary Public. We didn't have any issues but maybe it's becuase like a+j mentioned above, the consulate accepts both Italian and English documents.

 

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChecklist confusion (evidence of relationship evidence)
For our case we had an affidavit(one for each of us, signed and notarized) describing how and where we met, how we stay in touch, our engagement, and our wedding plans. Then we included 6 pictures of us together with dates and locations listed, and my boarding passes and receipts from things I bought while visiting my fiancé in India. The affidavit was our declaration and the pictures and receipts were our supporting documents. They were separate documents for us. Hope this helps!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWill the petition be faster if you use an agency?

Even if you have RED FLAGS (whatever you think that may be) the attorney can do nothing about it.  This is a simple form filed with a clerk that makes an independent decision as to whether you provided everything necessary to be approved.  It is not a committee decision.  You meet the very simple requirements ...or you don't. Once mailed, there is nothing left to do but wait.
 
Attorneys have no ability to "do anything" for the petition process.  If you can follow simple instructions, and answer questions about personal information (an attorney cannot unless you give them the answers) then you can do this.  A job application at Home Depot is more complicated.  College applications are WAY more complicated.  Know anyone that hires attorneys for that?
 
For the petition...you MUST
 
1. Be a US citizen to petition a fiance(e)
2. Have met in person at least one time in the last 2 years
3. Be eligible and willing to marry each other within 90 days after arrival of the beneficiary
4. Not have any VAWA or AWA disqualifications (if you do not know what that means, you have none)
 
Which of those things could an attorney change?













True, the attorney cannot change anything if you don't meet requirements. They are just a guide through the process. I did not know about VJ when we filed but I had several friends that went through the process and every single one of them hired a lawyer so that's what I did. I like knowing we are working with someone who has done this several times and helps with the forms. Maybe it's just me but I found the forms and process much more intimidating and complicated than a job application. I was afraid I would make an error or forget to include something in the packet and cause delays. Having an attorney also is very reassuring to my fiancé's family. Not necessary but it's worth it for me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWill the petition be faster if you use an agency?
Like many have said, am agency/lawyer is not strictly necessary in most cases, but it depends on how comfortable you are and if you think you have any red flags. My fiancé and I have no red flags, we're both single never married, no police records or visa problems, however we just felt better hiring a lawyer. I tend to overthink and stress over the paperwork and second guess if I'm filling the forms correctly and whatnot. We like the piece of mind knowing someone with experience was walking us through each step and putting the packets together. It's not cheap though. My lawyer charges a flat rate of $2000 for a K1/K3 and another $1000 or so for the adjustment of status.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCo sponsor for K1 visa
I am a U.S. female petitioner for my UK fiancé.

I haven't completed my tax returns in 3 years. But I have filed extensions for those years.

I own my own business. But I can only prove that I've been making $1,200 per month. My business is not earning as much as it was 8-12 months ago.

I started collecting food stamps & medical benefit in March 2013.

My future husband has $6,000 saved, and will have around $8,000 saved at the time of visa interview. Will this help us? Or do I need to get a co sponsor?

I'm afraid they will deny us because of me receiving benefits.

What should I do?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhere to File is unclear!

Hello everyone!

 

I am completely new to this and everyone has a different view and explantion.  I will be hopefully in the next two weeks be sending in the first wave of documents needed to get my Serbian fiance a Visa for the US.

 

I am sort of understanding everything that is needed and hopefully will have everything in order to send soon!  The only thing that is unclear is where to send it!  I've read that I have to send it to Texas, than there is a lock box in Chicago (where I'm from), and than I've read a bunch of other possible places to send.  It is definetely unclear where to send your K-1 Fiance Visa Packet when filing from Serbia.

 

I currently am residing there with my Fiance so we will be doing the bulk of the paperwork from there.... I was just wondering if anyone had any clue where to send all this....

 

Thanks in advance for all your help!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEngaged 3 months from the time i first met him.

I met him in Rome 3 months ago when i went for vacation. We fell inlove the first time weve met. During my 15days, stay there, we were inseparable. We travelled together to Paris then back to Rome. When i came back to USA, we continued talking/communicating to each other almost everyday till he proposed few days ago. I know that our relationship is too young (only 3 months to be exact and we are already engaged). Will this cause as a red flag to USCIS? Im afraid that if i file for fiancee visa, they might not approve it coz our relationship is too young. For how long do we have to wait before filing a K-1 visa?


Not a problem.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConfusion about signing I-134

Hi guys,

 

I was going through the I-134 instructions and wanted to clarify something. The instructions for this form state that the form must be signed in your full name. Does it mean I have to write out my name with my middle name and last name in signature space? or just sign it the way i normally would sign something with a short signature? I do see that there is an option to put your name at the bottom where you acknowledge the liability statement but just wanted to confirm before we submit it. 

 

 

 

I only signed my first and last name.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp with I-134

My question is, has anyone else ever been in a situation like this or does anyone know of someone who has been? We're ready to get married and be together for good now and it's upsetting to think that we might have to wait even longer solely because I don't yet have a full-time job figured out and come from a family that lives a bit below the poverty level. Is there any way to communicate some of these concerns to anyone? Forgive me for not knowing much, but I figured this would be a great place to ask.

 

 

The minimum poverty levels are quite low and if you can not even meet them, how will you both live?  They are for your best interests and telling your story will not make them go away.  Unless you get a cosponsor, yes you will have to wait until you make more income.

 

You could drop out of school and get a full time job and then later go bac, or go to ngiht school..  Many options.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE

Hey everyone,

 

I just got an RFE for specific evidence that we met in the past two years

 

I lived in her country for a year! 

 

I included passport stamps, BBM messaging for two months, 3 photos of us together (dated & location hand written on it), the receipt for her engagement ring, and all the itineraries for my flights!

 

Any idea what I can send in to reply for the RFE?   

 

I was thinking a letter from my boss at the company I worked at, more pictures of us together, and a letter from a friend who lived there with me?

 

Any thoughts would be helpful!

 

They want to know about one specific meeting.  Key in on one date or a date range and send all evidences concerning that and nothing else.  You may have sent too much and they had a hard time piecing it together.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresproof of relationship

we've been emailing each other since the first time we met amounting to thousands of messages,we've been talking on phone almost on a daily basis,,sent afew gifts via DHL,.........will those be enough to prove an ongoing relationship?
we got our NOA2 and now just trying to gather important information in preparation of the interview,
chime in good people!

 

It's not quantity but quality and content of the communications that can prove a relationship.

 

I ended up drafting about a three page letter the could have been tited "Evolution of our Relationship".  This letter described how our relatonship began and grew and blossomed, incorporated our trip to meet in person and how our discussions moved from talking about ourselves to our future lives together and how the little one would and could fit in and what plans were being made for his future (preschool and future education, etc). 

 

Your communications should show the usuall flow and evolution of a real relationship, from getting to know each other to later talking about the fine details of life together and their life in a new country.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdvice on I129F

I need to add a K2 from a pregnancy while the I129F was filed . Right now with our case we have an RFE on July 16th . The baby was born on July 23rd . Since we have an RFE will this be a chance to add the baby ? If so how would I do this ? At this point I did not receive the letter . However I believe it is for outdated G325A forms I used . It was the only thing I could find fault while looking at my I129F copy . Born in the Philippines baby girl smile.png

 

Whatever form asks to list all children, send in an updated form with explanation letter....along with any RFE documentation you have to send.
