K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 question
actually from the links i read ... it would be taken into account ..if my assests are readily available .. cash fits that criteria .. and can be used against a shortfall .. like if she is a 1000.00 short than i have to make up that difference for a total of 5 years so 1000.00x 5 = 5000.00 i would have to have .... read that right here on visa journey

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 question
when adding up the income of my fiance and making sure we have enough she is the us citizen .. she has a daughter 17 living with her .. my question is her daughter also has a job .. and my fiances income is going to be very close to the minimum since they raise it this year for 3 people .. but does her daughters income have any bearing on it or is it just my fiance now? we just mailed the I-129f and i dont want it denied because of income .. should i start padding my bank account now ??

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI thought the I-129F was sent........
Actually its been 2 weeks and the I-129F hasnt even made to the vermont center yet ..
it just seems to me 2 weeks is an awful long time to have a package delivered especially within the USA considering we send things internationally to each other and doesnt take that long. So when i called the postal service they had no answer and just say wait longer .. hmm seems weird to me especially if its supposed to be trackable .. maybe i am just worrying too much

Hey ryck,

I'm sorry to hear that. What a pain in the a**. It's so annoying how one idiot can delay the entire process for you (postal employee who lost your papers).
But in my opinion, maybe it won't take you an additional two weeks to gather everything. I think it's just on you for how long it will take. Did you have extra copies of the forms in he I-129f with your fiances signature on them? If so, that'd save a LOT of time! Also, why would you need to gather an ADDITIONAL 455.00? If they never received your packet then the 455.00 was never withdrawn and therefore you still have it and don't need to scramble to get an additional 455.00.

GOOD LUCK!!!

because my fiance who is in the usa .. for some reason or other insisted on a money order for whatever reason .. so will need to get another one or tell her to use a darn check this time ... and yea will take time i need to get photo again i need to refill out the papers with signatures send them to her to fill out .. and that will take time .. it bugs me more them losing it means a delay for us ... the money is one thing but when you send something and pay extra for all this stuff you expect it to get there in a timely fashion 2 weeks is not timely and them not even discussing witrh me about it being insured saying wait longer .... thats more annoying than being away from my fiance

RYCK: I had the same trouble this month when sending to vermont.
The USPS showed it delivered, but did not received anything back. After 2.5 weeks after receipt I called them, and I was still not in the system, and no check clear.
They received my new copy this past Monday, And the bank has had a check for funds on the account. So it appears this time I am not lost.


HiTech


well hope everything works out for you ...
maybe it a thing with vermont .. because thats where we sent ours

Yup we mailed them out and 2 weeks later still nothing .. we did all the stuff the signature requirement the receipt notice and have tracking number and paid to insure it and all the USPS website says is that it's been accepted at the post office.. well DUH. we know that..
so i called the US postal service and they say thats normal to not update that site ... so it seems its probably lost along with the check and all .... AM SO PEEVED AT THE USPS .. so now am guessing it's time to gather up more cash and get a new set of papers all ready and find a better service to send it off ... maybe UPS will do a better job of it ..
now to try and collect what the USPS owes us .. paid to insure it but after talking to them seems like collecting will take a long time ... oh well just needing to vent



I am sorry that the postal service has let you down but for future reference it is ALLWAYS best to send Important Documents
(especially when dealiong with USCIS ) via Fedex so that you have a signature and date they were recieved...We sent our files to USCIS using fedex and we didnt have any problems so Good luck in your quest with USCIS ...it's a tough one for some on here sad.gif
I am sure u will get through it smile.gif
Keep your chin up smile.gif

Thanks ... just added time is all the kicker is.. .. who knows it could still show up there .. but the lost money just confirms i will never use the USPS again for anything if i can avoid it .. imagine that not even to the usa and allready boycotting a service there hahaha ... so seems like it will all be delayed a couple of more weeks to refill out the paperwork get new photos gather up another $455.00 and send it all to the us .. to have it all sent off again ... what a pain
people dont use the USPS to send your stuff

I need some help with the affidavit of support reguarding dependants ... my fiance's daughter has turned 18 this year she hasnt been in school at all this year and she has a job .. my fiance might be just shy of the 125% of the poverty line for 3 people .. last year she was shy by less than 500 .. what is considered a dependant and would her daughters income be considered at all ??? does anyone know or who would i contact for some info on that .. would i ontact the embassy because they will be the ones looking at that form ? plus if we need some cash in the bank to offset the difference who's bank mine or hers?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 question reguarding dependant's
My fiance and I are kind of confused about the wholly dependant and partially dependant and what the difference is ... her daughter has turned 18 recently and still lives at home .. but she is not in school and has a job her last tax return had her on as a dependant and for 2008 she will probably be on there for up to the time she has turned 18 .. but we dont know what box to check as just just really only lives there .. or is it the same as in Canada, 18 and not in school with a job she is no longer a dependant.. any help with this will be grateful we are leaning towards putting her as a dependant as we have no proof she isn't one because the last return has her as one

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMontreal Consulate and 1 other question
Hi there hopefully someone can help me out ... I am in the understanding that there are only 2 comsulates in Canada that will proccess the K-1 visa .. montreal and vancouver ... I can deal with having to goto montreal but can anyone tell me how far that is from the airport .. we just recieved our NOA1 about a week and a half ago and starting to make plans and i am wondering weather i should drive there or fly i would rather fly but not if i need to do some extensive travelling once i get there ..

my second question is about the affidavit of support ... my fiance's daughter is on her last year as a dependant she turns 18 in november and already has a fulltime job and plans to move ... seeing as i wont be there untill after she's older and gone will they take that into account? My Fiances job is not the best paying one but she made eneough for last year but they moved it to 22,000 for this year for 3 people .. she was just shy of that. does anyone know how they will look at that and should i bank a few thousand to make up the difference ? I have read that you can do that if in readily available funds make up the difference x5 for the 5 years that affidavit covers ?

any help would be appreciated

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionwhy do they deny ?
well see if everyone followed the rules .. things would be so much easier to deal with .. we are all / or have been in the same boat as you waiting to be with the people we love .. but there are many out there who do not think the rules pertain to them or don't care to follow them . like people overstaying their visa's just for an example ... that kind of stuff makes everything get tighter and gives all the officials even more reason to tighten that red tape and make us all dance even more ... right now all you can do is fill out all the paperwork that you need to .. answer all the questions they ask and just sit back and hope the love between you two is strong enough to endure the wait ...... and hope to hell that overstay doesnt become an issue

If you goto google maps you will see that the consulate is not far from the via train station .. about a 3 minute drive in a car ... i am taking the train for my intrview and if the weather is good i will just walk it because i've never been to montreal before and thats a good way to see a bit of it ... but yes the train station is close.

in fact i see my intrview is about month ahead of yours if i remember to do so i will come on here and tell you excactly how far it is

CanadaPlease Share your Montreal Experience for CR-1 interview!
Just so you know the folks at the consulate are pretty friendly ... the security is there todo a job so they might be the least friendliest .. the people upstairs that you will deal with are somewhat straight to th point and there is somewhat of a procedure thy follow .. but overall they are not rude or do they treat you like your in an interrogation ... and thats for all interviews . They just have a job to do and so many people to deal with they don't take time for friendly chit chat .. so you should not have too bad of an experience there
