K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa

Does anyone know if previous visitor and student visa denials can affect the K1 application. We want to start filing from next month. Thanks


in the process will not have problem, maybe only in the interview they ask about it

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHi, I need some help

if i were to just go and visit for the maximum of 6 months i wouldn't be able to work legally would I?

no you can't with a tourist visa (I'm assuming that you have it)

How or what do I apply for to be able to work and live in the U.S?

you can not do it while the process is running, you have to wait until get the visa and after apply AOS and then get the EAD (Employment Authorization Document)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion on Fiance Letter of Intent
if you're talking about the example form here in VJ, is the date when you submit your application (I-129F) or when you and your fiancee sign the letter.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 processing after NOA2

Has anyone completed the K-1 process through the Dublin embassy lately? I'm wondering about the wait time between the NOA2 and the interview (I haven't received NOA2 yet but expect it any day now).

you can looking for similar timelines by Visa Type, Service Center or Beneficiaries Country, the option is in your timeline page

I received my NOA 2 approval on March 1 so I'm sure I'll be receiving something soon (probably today in the mail when I get home from work!) but I'm just anxious. Sorry about that!


Yay...! Got through to NVC just now ...and used a non-ATT landline... :whistle: Got through on the first try....really seems easier if you wait till after hours to call....


congrats!!!! :dance: the process will be faster now, good luck in the rest of the process!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProof of Genuine Relationship
Your case is similar to mine, after the first meeting with my fiance we decided to apply to I-129, he sent evidence as chats, emails, boarding passes and photos together. For the interview I was alone and only it took 5 minutes to listen “ Visa approved". Don’t worry about the age difference, it won't be a problem for your case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBirth Certificate

DO I have to send a copy of their birth certificates with the I-294? At what point do they need to be translated and for whom? before the interview?

I-294? to apply the petition for a fiance (I-129F) you won't need it, she'll need it for the interview (in spanish) and after for adjustment of status translated in English

[/quote]

you say ur case left NVC on 03-06

so the track number entered must be : "EXP 05 MAR 2010A"
date range must be 03-06-2010 and today

I tried it for you, and there was 1 shipement delivered to MOSCOW, RUSSIAN FEDERATION on 3/10/2010 4:57 pm

hoping it's yours :thumbs:

sometimes is difficult, and the search only works well with Internet explorer. As Drue & Naddy says maybe your case already is in the embassy.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa tracking after NOA2
you have to call the NVC and ask when they sent the package to the embassy after that you can track it by reference on DHL website. The format to use is "EXP 07 MAR 2010A" don't forget the spaces...and to set the date range on the tracking page. The website for tracking is: http://track.dhl-usa...?nav=TrackByRef
The package may not go out on the next day, but the reference code will still be for that date. You'll see a list of packages going to different embassies. You'll know which one is yours.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Interview

By the way she is only listing the child because she wants to be honest,the childs dad is not letting him travel to the U.S.
So it is no and no on following and accompanying her.

if she doesn't have the permission of the father list him on the form does not make sense

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed help with filling out the DS-156 Form

Hello Everyone,

26). How long do you intend to stay in the U.S.? I put permanently and I had no issues

27). What is the purpose of your trip? marriage and relocation to the USA

What type of Visa? This will be her first time coming to the U.S.A. What is the appropriate answer to select in that space. nothing, because the questions is: have you ever been issued a US Visa you have to select NO

32). Do you intend to work in the U.S.? "Yes" after she gets the green card, however there is a section underneath asking for name and complete address of U.S. employer. There is none at this point
can I just write "None". with work authorization, employer unknow.

33). Do you intend to study in the U.S.? "Yes", however at the moment school is not decided. What can I enter for school name and address or should I say "Not decided at this point". I suggest select NO

Thanks You,

Hi all!

My fiancee sent the I-129f on 03/18/2010 and I will go to visit her (to give her the ring!) next week. I have a round trip ticket... I read somewhere that I will have to tell the immigration officer we asked for a K1 visa... Do I have to since it hasn't (and it won't be) been appoved by the USCIS yet?? What if I want to go back later (maybe in June)??

nope, because you are entering as visitor or tourist. When you have your K1 visa in hand you'll have to tell the immigration officer about it

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWe need your advice!!!

I wouldn't even think about booking a ticket until after your visa is issued. Things can go wrong. Nothing is a certainty. No one knows 100% that your visa will be approved, wont go into AP after interview, or that a mess up might cause a delay in the mailing of the visa. I hope that none of these things happen to you, but they've happened to others on this website. It's best to wait.

I agree. It is impossible to determine the time of delivery

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLooking for thoughts / advice on timing

The thing that I'm not terribly clear about is what happens after the application leaves the NVC for Bogota and they send my fiancee the first packet. Does some sort of clock start ticking then, or is there no particular hurry for her to take action? That seems to be the crucial piece of information that I'm missing. Does anyone know the answer? I'm torn between not wanting to delay the process and not wanting to mess things up by her not being available to be in Bogota in time.

If anyone who understands the post NVC process, could offer some advice I'd really like to hear it.

Thanks in advance.
-rs1971


after the application leaves the NVC could take 1 or 2 weeks to arrive to the embassy, at this point, you could wait until your fiancee is feels ready to get the appointment for the interview, it means, she has to send the packet 3 (ds-230 part I and ds-2100). After she has sent the pck 3, the interview date could be scheduled 4-6 weeks later. But also, you have the option to reschedule, if for any reason she can't assist to the interview
