K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBig Thank You to VJ
Even though we have filed our K1 before we joined VJ, I've been lurking here for almost a year now as "guest" and "anonymous" reading forums and looking how things work. Now that we are officially members of this site, it's been of great help and we learned a lot for our future references. Thank you VJ and we're so happy to be here :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAssembling a neat package

Hello

I'm working on the K1-process

Any suggestions on how to organize the contents for easy reading, neatness? Staples no staples? Paper clips or no paper clips? 3 hole punch in a binder with labeled tabs or no?



Good luck on assembling of your packet. :thumbs: Being here at VJ will help you a lot. Everybody here will help you through the whole process but before anything else, you might want to read the GUIDES because it can provide you all the things you need to know.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOn Valentine's Day
HAPPY VALENTINES EVERYONE! My David called me up already... It was hard talking about the things we should be doing in this special day because we're thousands of miles away from each other. I know that he's heart was breaking when I was crying :crying: . Couldn't help it because I should be right there by his side. Let's all hope that this will be the last Valentines Day that we will celebrate far away from our loved ones. And to those who's lucky being with their SOs... (L) (L) (L) Enjoy your time together!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures11-30 Filers getting NOA2s!!!
:lol:

Yeah, hopefully soon. Why not Tuesday though? Let's be optimistic!!!!


What Augustajim means is that because Tuesday approvals typically come out late on Tuesday night and then they don't get sung here on VJ on early Wednesday.

Yes I post an update last night...

The initial link will always be the same... K-! Timelines



Where are the Vermont people :wacko:


Because the Vermont people can get there approval before they even make the list for one week!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswoo hooo, Package is recieved by the US CIS today

Don't forget to start your timeline!

how ? I dont see options for that. I put everythng in my sig instead .

Go to your page and click on your assistant. Click on edit timeline. Just fill in the dates there. Have a nice journey.

THank you very much nghen .


Congrats! I still remember how good it felt when my fiancee finally submitted our package. :luv: If you won't receive your NOA1 right away, you can inquire with your bank if your check is endorsed. At the back of it will be the case number that you can use in creating a portfolio at USCIS website for automatic email updates and online status...

Good luck on your journey! It's going to be a test of patience :whistle:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresproof of meeting cover letter

I was wondering if a cover letter for the proof of meeting was necessary... to explain each document?
Thanks!


A precise, factual and accurate details will do... We wrote it in an extra sheet of paper (as supplement page) since the space provided on the form is not sufficient to cover for my fiance's two visits.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion 18 (how you met your fiance) Sample
Told them where we met (initially) then how we met in person, dates and some little details... just make sure you can provide supporting documents that will correspond to what you'll write...
David-and-MaeFemalePhilippines2007-02-04 23:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresParanoia sets in . . .

OK, after reading the K-1 RFE master list I am completely freaking out, and here I thought I was all prepared. Here is what I was planning to send as evidence:

Primary Evidence:
E-mailed itinerary from my second trip to visit him
Boarding pass from my last trip to visit him
passport stamps from all 4 trips to visit him
Copy of credit card statement showing charges from Bogota last trip
Copy of bank statement showing atm withdrawals in Bogota last trip


These are enough proofs of meeting your fiancee in person...

Secondary Evidence:
10 personal emails from him to me spread out over two years
3 photographs -- 1 from when we first started dating in US, one from 2nd trip, one from last trip


Looks ok to me too...

Is this enough? Also, do copies of photographs have to be DUPLICATES, or can they just be color photocopies? And does the copy of my passport need to be in color? And finally, how much specificity are they looking for in the statement of how we met? I am unclear from the wording of the question whether it is meant to be a summary of our whole relationship, or simply a statement of our last meeting occurring within the past two years. If the former, how specific does it need to be? I am not the kind of person who remembers dates or obsessively saves things, so procuring this stuff has been a nightmare.

Any help much appreciated, as always.

--Olafgypsy


As for the photographs, some of us submitted the original ones, some scanned and printed them... Your passport can be a black and white copy or colored copy, whatever you will prefer. As for the statement of how you met, a precise, factual and accurate story will do... Just make sure it will collaborate to your evidences and supporting documents.

I hope I was able to help you... Lots of VJers here can give you more helpful advices but since they're not here right now, I thought I'd enlighten you with what I know...

Goodluck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA1 (finally)

So I finally got my official NOA1!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

I was starting to wonder if they had my address wrong. I am happy it came today... with Monday being a Postal Holiday! :)

Ok... so now the waiting can officially begin for the NOA2... atleast they know where I live now. :innocent:


Congratulations on your NOA1 :thumbs: With that, you can now be a part of Compulsive Checkers Club :whistle: And yes, it's the beginning of the tough and long wait for the NOA2 (though it takes only 3 months-more or less to get-it seems longer). Now be patient, you hear? You've seen how those impatient ones got snapped at by other VJers :lol: In fact, I was one of those impatient people :blush: and I had the taste of crankiness and grumpiness of others :whistle: . I knew better now though... :dance:

Good luck on your journey! :thumbs:

It's really hard not to get impatient but it helps to think that I am not alone and the rest of VJ community is anxious to see approvals...
