K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduressending docs to my fiance for interview

I-134 (notarized) w/ supporting documents - bank statements (i have enough in my saving and checking account to meet 5 year poverty level requirement), income tax return for 2005 (enough to satisfy poverty level requirement)



Don't forget to send her a pay slip from your job, and W2

You can send copies or you can fax it to your fiance/e but send the originals of your plane tickets, baggage stubbs, photos and any receipts in the hotel where you spent together.

Guess you have it all :)

It will appear into the immigration records that you had petitioned a K1 visa before. However, you are not precluded of filing another petition provided that you can show an evidence that the previous one has been terminated.

Goodluck :) JR

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCase Tracking from NVC to Embassy

HI all

Just wondering is there a way to track your case from NVC to the Embassy or is it a case of emailing or calling your Embassy?

Thanks

Adele (F)



The best way to track your case from NVC to Embassy is thru calling DOS # 1-202-663-1225 then 100 this is the operator. You can ask them if the NVC had already forwarded your case to the Embassy and if Embassy had receive. This is what I did rather than tracking DHL as everyone says which is confusing and not accurate.

My SO had his interview in Ankara, Turkey on July 16, 2007. He was denied because of a previous overstay when in the US. We filed the waiver on August 16, 2007 which was sent to Greece. It has been 5 months so far.

Has anyone gone through the American Embassy in Greece for a waiver? and how long did it take?

You'll need a passport photo from him as well.

Also, if he was married before, a certified copy of his divorce decree.

Beyond that, the guides are the best. They basically take you step by step through everything.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHarm in filing 129f?

Where does the beneficiary live? It is possible that if she interviews in Vancouver the K-3 may speed up your process as Montreal is very slow. If she interviews in Montreal, for the K visa, then it wont' save any time since anything going through Montreal will be slow.


She lives in Ontario, Just above Detroit. So I guess that means montreal? Ouch thats a long drive for her.
FireRayMaleCanada2010-01-18 15:28:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHarm in filing 129f?
So if I understand right, filing the I-130 is the start of the cr1. And If i wanted I could file the 129f to start the k3. Well what is the harm in filing the 129f?
I got back the I-797C over the weekend and reading through it and about halfway through the document it says that the I130 could take a long time etc.
So If i file the 129f, and the I-130 gets approved first just abandon the 129f, or does it not work like that? I have been sifting through the forums, I appologise if I had missed a post with this answer in it somewhere else.

I hope that makes some sence to someone lol!
Thanks :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPolice Certificate in canada takes 120 days or so
My wife applied for the police cert through the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)..it took her a few days. She had to pay a small fee for it. She lives in Canada still. And apparently the OPP Said they will have that document on file for a year..then it expires. (I am just going off what they told she and I at the office)

*EDIT*

They asked if this was for Immigration to the USA, and then did it for us.

Hello-
I received a receipt notice for my request i130 application in 12/15/2010. And today 4/8/2010 I received approval for the I130.. =) Whats next? I am a US Citizen and my husband currently live in Dominican Republic.
What timeframe am I looking at? It has already been ~ 98 days.

Thanks,


Congrats! Good luck with NVC Processing :) I dont know a "Time frame" I am just kinda going at it as suggested by the Wiki's on here :) And with the help of quite a few folks.

It took a week from my NOA2 notice till the NVC entered my file into their system. Then I called them and gave them my e-mail address.

(Assuming you filed with the chicago lockbox)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresSwitching jobs after NVC Case Complete

Nope - won't happen.

Whilst NVC reviews and aceepts the I-864,

the final adjudication occurs with the ConOff/VO on interview day -

Many ppl turn in a new I-864 if a new tax year occured between NVC and interview day, or if a change in job.

No Biggie, won't be thrown into AP.


Thanks, Easy enough. Just send a new I-864 and letter of employment from my employer with my wife to her interview (when we get assigned one)

As someone said in a different post, Owe you dinner! Lol, you might not ever have to cook again for the rest of your life with the ammount of people you have helped on here. Thanks again!

Unfortunatly I could not hold off switching jobs until after Immigration was complete. The civil service drew my number and were like...its now, or you go to the back of the list. Not to mention it was a 10k pay increase...so yeah, not much of a choice here.

My case is complete at the NVC, So what do I do? Have to resubmit some forms? Or just send something with my wife to her interview.
Especially when it comes to the officer asking my wife what I do for a living when it comes time for the interview.

I am doing the CR-1 Visa.

Anyone have an experience with this? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-84 and enforcement
A friend has been here for four years, adjusted status, but has recently been placed out of work with a young child, and has found it very difficult to make ends meet. She left her husband because it became apparent to her that he was beginning to abuse the child. I have to believe there was at some point, an affidavit of support submitted on her behalf by her husband whom she is now making arrangements to divorce. She has no copies of any documents with the exception of being in possesion of her green card and passport. In seeing how almost destitute she is, I would like to advise her in how to receive the support her husband promised in the affidavit. However at this point I have no idea how to advise her. Does anyone have any ideas or information that i can provide her to guide her to those who can assist her and possibly enforce the I-84 if there was one? I have gone through the immigration process bringing my wife here, but we have always placed importance in maintaining our documents. Unfortunately, she had to leave with no assistance. Any information would be helpful. Thankyou.
