K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Got My Visa!!!!	WooHoo!!!!! Had my interview... well it was more like a Q for the Cinema. Got into the office with about 15 other people and had to wait for about 40 mintues. Then i was asked to sign a form and had to wait again. They then called us all one by one, but not into an office, just up to the top of the room, everyone could see and hear us. Went through the forms to make sure everything was okay, mine was thank God (Others weren't and were sent away until they got the paperwork right) Then an American Lady came and asked some questions like "When did you meet" etc. She was happy with my answers so i got the Visa about 30 mintues later. All in all it took about two and a half hours, the experiance itself i found them to be kind of cold and not very friendly but i guess we all have our off days, on other reviews i was told they were really nice so i guess i had one of the off days. But i go my Visa so i'm happy. Thanks to everyone for their help with mine, i'm really greatful! congrats	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2007-01-29 21:50:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Never met my fiance but sent in the K-1 application	Does anyone really believe that this is NOT a troll? Yes there are a lot of dumbos out there -- but this is a case where the I-129F makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR that you have to prove you've met in the prior two years and describe that meeting. The form even clearly says "Explain also in detail any reasons you may have for requesting that the requirement that you and your fiancé(e) must have met should not apply to you". I don't believe a real applicant filling out the form would just decide to skip that part. My call = TROLL	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2007-08-17 00:11:00

Thanks all for your congrats Congrat.. If she gives birth before she gets her Visa.. be sure to get a US Passport for your new born.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	can i get married in new york then apply for adjustment of status in california?	QUOTE (jabots @ Dec 2 2007, 07:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hi everyone! i am a US citizen residing in the Philippines. i am about to leave for New York this january and stay there for at least a year. within that year, i am planning to apply for a fiance visa and get my boyfriend to stay with me for a while in new york. that means i need to file my application to vermont. however, we plan to reside in california after getting married and not in new york. can we get married in new york and apply for his adjustment of status in california? another question, when i arrive in new york do i need to get a job first before applying for fiance visa or can i file my application while looking for a job? thanks for the time! HI I don't see anything wrong with getting married in New York and then moving to Calif. as long as he does not leave the USA. I would file the AOS when you move to Calif. Also I would also just to CYA inform the NVC that you will move and put in a address change. You will need to give a form that shows you are 125% over the poverty level and also include a letter from employment that you are employed. So I would get a job first then file for the K-1 Take care Yogi	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2007-12-02 08:35:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	she is filipino but in singapore	QUOTE (RobertIA @ Jun 26 2008, 07:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Even is she is an overseas worker, it will be much easier for her to come directly from there. Forget about going back to the Philippines unless she needs to go home for legal reasons. The US Consulate is easier on the people that are already out of the country as they already know that in order to get their passport for work is very difficult. She will need all the police clearances for each country she has been in for more than six months and you will still need the standard medical examination. She will also need a passport that will be valid for more (I believe) one year after she arrives in the US. I brought my fiancee here from Hong Kong in 2005, where she was employed as an overseas worker. Yeah me also, my wife lived in Macau but she went to the Hong Kong Consoluate. she got her visa from them. My petition was quick, it was so quick it missed the off ramp to Hong Kong that it went to Manila. I had to have it redirected to Hong Kong. But you should be fine.

It states you have to meet within the last two years.. it does not state or required to meet the future in laws. I brought my wife on a K-1 and we been married almost 3 years. Till this day I have never met her parents in person. Just seen my mother inlaw on cam and father in law in Pictures.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiancee is pregnant	The reason i am concerned is that a visa once it is issued is only good for 6 months and the airlines wont allow a pregnant paasanger after they are 7 months and there is some concerns of flying a newborn baby until it reaches 6 months of age so i am worried we might lose the visa during this short window of oppertunity. From the way Congrats on the pregnnacy and I just wanted to let you know this is not true. Newborns fly all the time. And most doctors will let you fly pregnant into your 8th month as long as there are not complications. the doctors might, but the airlines might not. yes.. if she went into labor in midflight.. you know how much it will cost the airline to devert to other airport. The cost of fuel that it will burn to get their and when they land, they have to pay landing fees and then get refueled and lost of time and other factors.. I doubt at 8 mos they will let a pregnet lady on.	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2006-05-18 22:37:00

US Citizenship General Discussion	Is your foreign passport taken away at oath ceremony?	QUOTE (NickD @ Oct 11 2009, 06:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Never thought about this in this light before, reason why they don't take away your foreign passport is because it's worthless. Can come in handy though if you live in a country that requires a US passport holder to get a visa as well to enter that country. If you have a passport for that country, won't need that visa. Many certificated USC keep their foreign passport as well. the Foreign passport is not worthless... some country you can have dual passports. Like England, Philippines etc.. so it is not worthless Yogi	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2009-10-11 18:39:00

Canada	My wife's interview on April 5, 2007 in Mtl	I am so sorry to hear this, bowflex. I'm sure a number of us have come across our share of rude and/or ignorant officers in some form or another. This person's behaviour is inexcusable, and I am sorry for the pain and heartache that you and your wife must be going through. Keep looking up. I thank you for that. My wife and I had to suffer another 5 hours of being in Montreal after this, then our plane got delayed that was just taking us back to Toronto by another hour and a half Lol. We then had to drive from Toronto to Windsor in a snow storm, trust me it was the single hardest moment that I can remember in my entire life. While I'm really devastated right now, we're trying our best to just get back into the mindset and file everything to get it moving. I wish everyone good luck! Hello Bowflex, I am sorry that you were mistreated. It is not justice. Sounds like you got a ####### from hell to hear you case. I dont know if it is you or somone else, they also had a problem with a CO from MTL. I think they describe her as a overweight blond lady. Is this the same person you had for your interview. Others said she is rude, stuck up and just not a nice person. Maybe she is small in height and she has nepolian syndrom... Small person wants to act big.

I understand about having him understand the people around him, and he has been trying. But it seems every little thing he does gets on the nerves of my husbands brother. I feel like everything we worked for is literally falling apart. HI I am so sorry that you are going thru this. Honestly, it is getting me upset. I am so concern right now for your son's well being and health. I think and this is my thoughts, I think the MAIN ROOT OF THIS PROBLEM IS YOUR HUSBAND'S BROTHER. he is just a IMMATURE JERK and a selfish person. I hope he does not have any kids and I hope he grows up before he has any. He seems for a 23 yr old to be very childish and very very immature. I bet your son is more mature then someone that is more then twice his age. you are right to want to get your son out of that situation. You are just doing what a mother should be doing and that is to protect him. If I were you if your brother in law said any thing like that to your son again, I would call the police on him, of course it would make more problems, but he sounds like a total Ahole.

Canada	US Border Agent Made Me Cry!	Almost 5 years of crossing the US borders with little hassle, yesterday was my first bad experience at the border in Vancouver Via Rail Station (I was boarding Amtrak to Seattle.) The first border guard recognized me as she processed me last time and referred me to another border guard for questioning. Here's how the conversation went: Border Guard: Where are you going? Me: Seattle Guard: How long will you be staying? Me: Three days. I'm returning on Monday. Guard: What do you do for work? Me: XXXX, at XXXX. Guard: Do you have a business card? Me: Yes (gives him my business card) Guard: What's the reason for your visit? Me: Visiting my husband, who is a US citizen. Guard: How long have you've been married? Me: Three years come this August. Guard: Are you planning to move to the US? Me: Yes. I have a visa case in process. Guard: Do you know that while your case is processing, you must remain in Canada or if you are in the US, you cannot leave until it's completed? Me: No, I'm not aware of such restrictions. Just to clarify, I've applied for the CR-1 Visa. Guard, starting to get irritated: It doesn't matter what visa it is, you cannot enter the US until the process is completed. Me: I'm not understanding what you mean by process being completed. I already had the interview with US Embassy in Montreal and they are holding back from issuing the visa because I am not ready immigrate (due to my pregnancy) so technically, I have not been approved nor issued a visa. They told me when I am ready to immigrate after my baby's birth, I'm to send them my passport for visa issuance. As of now, I don't have a visa to immigrate. Guard: If your husband had file a petition for you, you cannot enter the US. What is your NVC #? Me: I don't have that information on me. If it's OK with you, I can call my husband to get that information. Guard: I'm going to look in our system to see if you have a file with Immigration. (Looks up in his computer with my name, didn't find what he was looking for, so asks for hubby's name and phone number. At this point, I'm getting upset because it sounds like I'm about to be turn away from the border.) Guard: You're lucky this time--there's no file of any petition on the system. (I'm thinking #######?!) Guard: Do you have a Nexus card? Me: Yes Guard: May I see it. (I give him my Nexus card.) Guard: (Looks over at the card) I see you had this card since September 2009. Me: I'm sure I've had it much longer than that. Guard: Is this your second card? Me: No, it's my first. I believe it renews every 5 years. Guard: Yes. So if this is your second card, you must have had your Nexus card since 2004. Me: No, I didn't. I've had it for about 2-3 years I think. Guard: Don't lie to me! Me: No, I'm not. I don't recall the exact date I got it, but I know I didn't just get it last year. This card was re-issued because they've made security improvements to the Nexus cards and reissued new ones to all Nexus card holders. So that card was issued in Sept 2009, but I've had it before that. Guard: What was the reason why you applied for the Nexus card? Me: I was crossing the border regularly so I applied for it. Guard: What reason did you give your Nexus Officer for getting thhe Nexus card? Me: I don't recall being asked that question during the interview. I applied for it online, was approved, called in for the interview, which was a discussion on its terms and use, got the card and that was it. Guard: I worked at the Nexus Office--I KNOW we ask you why you apply for it! Me: (#######?!) It's been about 2-3 years since that interview. I don't remember if they had asked me that question. Guard: We always ask the reason for applying for it. Me: (Visibly upset ut still calm) If they had asked me that question, I would have said something like I'm visiting my boyfriend or something. But I'm telling you I was not asked that question. Guard: Don't lie to me! I used to work at the Nexus Office. (looks up the computer some more.) OK, I see it was issued in May 2008. Hmmm...there's no notes. Guard: You were married then, why did you tell them that you were visiting you boyfriend? Me: (#######?! That was a rhetorical answer!) Sir, it's been quite some time since the (Nexus) interview and I'm not good with remembering dates. I don't remember what my responses at the interview were. Guard: I'm going to contact the Nexus Officer who interviewed you, and if I find that you are lying, we will confiscate your Nexus card and you will not be allowed to enter the US. (By now, they closed the gate, the train personel were waiting for me, and I was the last one at the US customs border.) Me: (About to cry) So what's the next step? Am I allowed to enter the US now or not? Guard: (hands me back my Nexus card and passport) This time I'll let you in but I'll be checking in with your Nexus Officer. Me: Thanks. #######?! I called hubby right after and bawled my eyes out. The guard called me a liar three times and made me feel like an illegal alien!...and a 6-month pregnant terrorist! Hubby was SOOO pissed, thinks that the Guard was just power tripping and wanted to call US Customs to complain. I told him let's not make the situation any worse. VJers, what's your analysis of this exchange? yes I agree with your Husband, he is power tripping, Give someone a badge and they think they are so much high and mighty Just be cool about it and when you give birth then you can come here and not worry.
