India	Interview next week!	Hello!  I suggest you get more evidence of your relationship! More chat records, including conversations going back to even before filing the I-129f. Also photos with dates and locations written on the back. Anything and everything that can help your case. My fiance is bringing 1000+ pages of facebook and skype messages, along with phone records since last year! If you do all of this though, make sure you guys keep it organized so any specific evidence can be pulled from the stack easily. I don't think you can bee too prepared for this,  Good luck!

India	K1 Consular Process Change In India	Hello,   I am a new member on VJ.  I have still couple of questions, i would appreciate if anyone can answer my querries.  Our  petition has reached mumbai consulate on 28th of Nov'13. I haven't yet received letter from the counsulate, . My questions are : 1.  When can i receive letter for interview from the consulate and how do i know my interview date ?  2.  Filling DS-160 is difficult or i need to take visa agent's help ?  3.  visa fees which you have mentioned has to be paid online or by way of DD  before interview or at the time of interview ?   I would appreciate if anyone can answer my querries Thanks,     Hello! My fiance was approved by the Mumbai consulate this week, so I can try to help you out! 1. Check your email daily! We didn't get anything via post. We got our instructions through email about a day after the consulate received our case. 2. It's not too difficult. I don't think you'd need a lawyer unless you have special circumstances in your case, like a criminal record or overstaying a visa, things like that. It just takes a bit of time to fill it out.  3. The visa fee has to be paid before you are able to schedule your interview. (Yes, you get to chose your own interview date! More info on that should come in your first email from the consulate!)

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	NOA1 and Proof of Payment	Nope. At least, not that I've seen or heard. My fiance didn't need them for his interview. Only a copy of the NoA 2.	TeddoMurky721	Female	India	2013-12-07 14:57:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Can't stamp fiance visa until passport is reissued	My fiance had to change his birthday on his passport in Kolkata this past year. I don't mean to scare you, but it was a HUGE hassle. It took us eight months for the enitre process because the people working in the passport office didn't know what they were doing, and the kept asking for more and more money to get it done, when no money should have been requested in the first place. I have no idea if it is the same in Mumbai, but I highly suggest your fiance start that process NOW, and that he has some extra money if the passport officers ask for it. But then again, you may have no problem just taking a new picture and getting a new passport issued. My fiance had to do a lot of legal things having to do with getting his birthday changed. After he had everything in order it only took two weeks to actually recieve the passport. I wish you luck!	TeddoMurky721	Female	India	2013-10-31 17:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Scheduled interviews after getting NOA2 in Oct. anyone????	Hello! We got our NoA2 on October 3rd! We just scheduled the interview for November 22nd! But from what info I've gathered, the time from NoA2 to interview really just depends on the consulate.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	USCIS Immigrant Fee	Okay, so definitely no? It seems there's a bit of confusion about this topic! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one getting confused!  I'll take no as the answer. Thanks everyone!	TeddoMurky721	Female	India	2013-12-08 18:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	USCIS Immigrant Fee	Hey guys! My fiance's K1 visa was approved on December third! We are currently waiting for his passport to be mailed back to him so we can hurry and book his flight! But I have a question and I cannot find an answer anywhere! Do we need to pay the $165 Immigrant Fee? It's so confusing with the K1 visa being processed so similarly to an immigrant visa even though it's actually a non-immigrant visa. Please help! And thank you!	TeddoMurky721	Female	India	2013-12-07 15:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Administrative Processing	Yes, it doesn't mean that your visa will be ready two days from now. It means that your passport will be ready for pick up or to ship one to two days after Administrative Processing is done. Administrative processing takes anywhere from a few days to several months! But if you were told you were approved at the interview, then you are probably about to get issued your visa. From what I've read here, it seems that CEAC switches the status from Ready to AP right before the visa is about to be issued.  I'm in the same boat as you! Stuck on AP for the weekend, it seems! And then hopefully it'll be issued on Monday or Tuesday! Good luck!	TeddoMurky721	Female	India	2013-12-07 12:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	July 2013 K-1 Visa Filers	Hey guys! My fiance went to his interview today AND WAS APPROVED!     We're planning on him flying in on the 15th of this month! Just waiting for his passport now so we can book the tickets! I'm so happy I can finally relax for now and spend the holidays with him for the first time! Thank you guys for all of your support. Even when you were just updating the group with how it's going in your case, it gave me encouragement and hope! I wish all of you the best !	TeddoMurky721	Female	India	2013-12-03 15:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	July 2013 K-1 Visa Filers	Oh my gosh! So many approvals!!! This is really is wonderful! Now I have a question for all of you. My fiance's interview is in five days and all I can do is think about the interview - what may go wrong, if we are denied, if we are approved, if he loses his documents, AP! How did all of you survive the countdown to the interview? I feel like I'm going to go crazy! So far staying busy and not counting the days has helped, but now we're down to the wire! All of our documents are in place so all we can do now is wait. AHHH!	TeddoMurky721	Female	India	2013-11-28 11:03:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Does sponsor need submit "supporting evidence" on the I-134 if there is a co-sponsor???	I also am using a co-sponser and did not file taxes for 2012. My co-sponser and I both provided the same documents, but in my case, instead of a copy of my taxes from 2012, I wrote a letter explaining why I wasn't legally required to file taxes last year, signed and dated it. I suggest that you do the same, just for some extra clarification! It can be something as simple as "I, ________, did not file taxes for the year ___ and ____ because I did not make enough money to be legally required to do so. I was employed at ________ while living in _____ with my fiance, and made _______ per year." Or something along those lines. I haven't seen it said anywhwere that you HAVE to do this, but I have seen it suggested here! I figured it's better to be safe than sorry with this kind of stuff! Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	verifyadvantage?	You could just ask your boss/supervisor to write the letter for you, including that date you were hired, your salary, and your whether your job is temporary or permanent. Make sure it's on company letterhead! I work at a hospital and my supervisor did this for me instead of me going through HR.	TeddoMurky721	Female	India	2013-11-05 15:12:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Interview help - marriage ceremony questions?	It depends on want you want for your wedding. I didn't start planning my wedding until after the i-129 was approved to try to have a better understanding of when my fiance may get here. After that it's all good guess work. You can try to purchase things that won't be affected dramatically by time if the K1 is not approved or you get AP. For example, wedding bands. You can look for a wedding venue that is flexable with it's schedule. My wedding venue let me put down a deposit for February but said that we could change the date by a few months if I needed to. You can start looking at wedding dresses (they usually take several months to get in) You could order the dress and wait to get it altered until you're sure your fiance is coming. Reciepts for all of these things will be very helpful for the interview. If you can't get anything purchased I suggest that you at least have some sort of plan, that you have pictures of a wedding dress that you want, an idea of where you want to get married etc.	TeddoMurky721	Female	India	2013-11-27 10:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Will the petition be faster if you use an agency?	I heard several stories where using an agency or lawyer slowed down the process.  Just make sure to read all instructions, and then read them again. Take your time filing out forms, and make sure to proof read them once you're done. You'll be fine!	TeddoMurky721	Female	India	2013-12-07 17:36:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	administrative processing	that is what they said  when i check on the link https://ceac.state.g...AKjMWCuebHqOw==     Case Creation Date: 29-Jun-2012 Status Updated Date: 22-May-2013       Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached.     yes my husband is from cameroun an now a us citizen  yes we petionne other people his ex wife  and my ex husband won dv  the denied because the said our mariage was not real because he apply for me after knowing that he won .   thanks for you care	audrina	Not Telling	Cameroon	2013-06-30 15:43:00
