K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow do I know if the case was TOUCHED?
QUOTE (Anjelika81 @ Jul 10 2008, 07:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello to all June filers!

I am getting a little confused: some of you, guys, write that your petitions are "touched".
Where do I get this infrormation from? I check my case on-line, but it just says "received and pending".

Thanks
Anjelika

PS. We filed on the 18th of June
Got our receipt number through cashed check




Dear anjelica- I hate to take the happiness away- but those touches just mean someone scaned your file- which could mean anything actually. don't worry as it may look like forever- if you do everything thorowly and double and tripple check your package before you send it- and do everything on your part the fastest and most detale oriented way- this is your best bet on a speedy approval. we weren't "touched" once and just got the notice on our approval one very happy day.
I'm happy for you you created the account online- usually it works well and lets you know the fastest about any change on /your case.. star_smile.gif

if you read around the forumes you'll get a lot of useful info- and also as I said- you can ask me- I have a fountain of info after this long exausting process..smile.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThank You!!!
Thank you everybody!!! biggrin.gif

We are happy to be here- besides the fact that it's exiting for me to know I'm going to marry the LOVE OF MY LIFE- it's also heart warming to see the people here are good to each other- and I promise to fill out my time line and help as much as I can to future members.
Although me and my sweetheart considered hiring a lawyer- because you know how helpful the authorities are.....LOL.. wink.gif
but when I found this website- I realized that a lot of good people that are willing to share their experience and support each other is all you really need- and that goes for all aspects in life.

I'm glad for those of you that are married and living together- and for those that are still waiting to be reunited with their loved ones- I wish you the shortest and easiest way possible.....

Thank you guys... luv.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuick questions to start the process
QUOTE (Nineta @ Oct 30 2007, 03:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hola,

Just a quick question. We're almost ready to send the package today and we're wondering whether we need to send the Declaration of how we met: it's the single typed page attachment regarding question 18 of the I-129F.

Do we actually need that or we should be fine with pictures and flight itineraries?

Any feedback would much appreciate to start the process TODAY! Yay!

Best,

Nineta




We are really just at the same point as you- but I have a strong feeling (from what I've read here) that the more details you provide, the more evidence you show and the more specific you are, the lesser are your chances to get an RFE-
right now I regret not sending more proof along with the petition, but you still have it with you- so:

1. do write a letter (might not be necessary but can't hurt)
2. send by overnight mail with tracking number (helped us a lot to determine if our hard work was received at the USCIS)
3. register at uscis.gov ( an update by e-mail is available- and is convenient)
4. pray real hard...=]....and talk to your sweetheart a lot...=]]]....I trust she misses you just as much as I miss my love... cray5ol.gif


good luck to you guys!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshelp! what does rfe want from us?
Help!!!
What do you mean- you need his birth certificate?

As far as I understood- the only thing needed for the I-129F is the petitioner's(the US citizen's ) birth certificate!!!- no one ever mentioned sending my Birth certificate?!?
Now I am seriously worried- I thought that one will be needed only at the stage of the embassy in my country?!?.... ohmy.gif

helpsmilie.gif

Tell me I misunderstood it!!!
I am worried enough as it is about the processing of this petition..(giving so many people hell over nonsense- such as signatures that are in black inc and don't look "real" enough)..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTogether, Alone
Dear Austin...

I think it's painful for any VJ to read this post, for all of us (as said many times before) on the same slow and overcrowded boat, waiting to see the people that make this life bearable for us. nibbling on our nails, smoking cigarettes(those who do), working half to death, and basically doing anything just to keep our mind of the huge gap in our lives that is there due to the lack of this one person we love most. crying.gif

Personally my heart is aching for you and for each couple on this website that is the inevitable victim of the monstrous bureaucratic system.

To give you pointers on how to keep the time wonderful...well obviously chat , talk and do video chats as much as you can- I've read about a couple here in VJ that left their Web Cam' on even when they went to sleep- so that it will be the first thing they see when they wake up....and this is really one of my favorite parts- to see Adam as I open my eyes and know how lucky I am to have him there...(even if there if far away)

besides that- one of the things we miss the most- subconsciously is the smell of our partner- so , sending a letter doesn't cost much, send her a piece of your basketball t-shirt- wrapped well in plastic...as smelly as it seams to us in the everyday life- I can tell you honestly, I even miss Adam's morning breath, when you love a person- you love every little smell about him/her.... maybe a piece of cloth soaked with your aftershave....maybe your deodorant, or Shampoo....

I still sleep with Adam's T-shirt as my pillow, (sadly it almost lost all his smell already... sad.gif )

try to think of something funny to say to her- try to stay strong for her- think that it's not easy on her either, and she is in need of your strength probably....
Don't hold crying back....I'm parting from my man for the second time now for a long period of time, and the first time I cried like a baby- and it made it easier, this time around I tried to hold it back, and my body almost collapsed physically from inside. let the sorrow out, it's important, although exhausting.

Don't Worry too much though, when she's with you finally, you'll never find yourself pondering "why am I with her" if you go through this, your heart will always know why you are with this lady out of all the woman in this world.
After all- the USCIS the EMBASSY and the NVC test you on the reason why- a million times.. laughing.gif

good luck to you dear, may god give us the strength to go through this.. cry.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support
QUOTE (Amarach @ Nov 1 2007, 10:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
The Affidavit Guide also has this:

The foreign fiance's income can NOT be counted on either affidavit (except when the foreign fiance has been
living with the fiance, married, and in the US for six months), however the foreign fiance's assets CAN be used if
they are readily convertible into cash. The USCIS is concerned ONLY about the US fiance's income/assets. ---------

-----------------

He has enough cash to make the difference for 5 years, especially with my assets. He is going to call the embassy once he gets his packet and knows for "sure" which embassy/consulate we are assigned to and will ask if they can provide any information on this. In the mean time I'm still sending what I have so far.

I guess poor people can't fall in love with aliens!!! My friend in love with the martian will be so sad.


Hehehehehehehehe- it always amused me!- ever since I heard it- calling some one alien....
a new commer- a fresh immigrant- fine- but alien? no wonder the USCIS doesn't treat us like human beings.... laughing.gif tongue.gif

QUOTE (Amarach @ Oct 31 2007, 09:58 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My dad and step-dad are retired and living off of Social Security. My mom is deceased and my uncle has 2 kids, a wife, and has an unstable job situation.

I have no one else I can ask. Until I read a few threads here I thought making poverty guidelines was enough, it is only recently I found the 125% rule.

He can't sponsor himself when it comes to his family and savings?

Feeling flumoxed.



The sponsor by the AOS- must be a US citizen with his essets domisiled in the US

meaning- it must be some one who is a citizen of the Us and all his essets are in the USI'm sorry to hear about your situation- that you'll have a hard time getting a co-sponsor...
I can't answer your question fully- after all I am myself still looking forward to this process-
but I have a usefull link for you that I've dug out in one of VJ's posts by Huskerkiev- here's the link- it's the guide of the uscis representatives and includes all the rules and regulations to what ever comes to our tipe of petition- including the Affidavit of support guide lines.

lots to read- but I hope you'll be able to dig out your answer here, and since it's from the uscis website- I think it's more relyable then all of our oppinions put together.
rolleyes.gif

Good luck to you, I really hope that you'll be O.K on this one- and don't be shy to ask people for help- you never know who you know that might have a good enough heart to help you with that- you have a situation and you must solve it,
if I had a friend like you I'd help her out- it's very much like a motgage garanter.

that's the cfr 8 link


Good luck reading... smile.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis it a definite RFE?
QUOTE (Anjelika81 @ Jul 14 2008, 05:10 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi Guys,

Is filling N/A instead of "none" on 129F form a definite RFE????

Thank you!!




Noup! when we filed our I-129F we used N/A as well- depends what you apply it to if the question is about something that does not apply to you- you put n/a , really makes no difference. This is not the part that should worry you really!!!
Focus more on filling out all spaces, giving accurate info and on every attachment stating to which question and section it refers to.

If /you have any question guys feel free to ask me!

sincerely,
Dianna.
