K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPacket 3 Form PDF Question
When trying to fill out the the DS 230 I'm not able to type the date exactly as they want it. On Question 25 which asks for all the previous visits to the US and shows to put it in mm-yyyy format, but when I do that it has an error telling me to put it in mm-dd-yyyy format. Do you guys think it would be alright to just fill it out that way or would it show up wrong in their computers and then they'd send it back?

Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPassport Question
I'm still relatively new to this site but it's already been an amazing help to my boyfriend and I when we first started to look at how we could be together in the U.S and since then it's been really helpful to us in deciding which visa we should apply for. We're looking at applying for the K-1 visa and most likely sending our packet out in the next few weeks. As we are starting to get everything together, we ran into a question that I haven't been able to find an answer to online yet so I'm hoping someone will be able to help us decide what to do.

Our question is about his passport. His passport has the stamps that we were going to use as proof that we've been together in the past two years but this passport expires in six months. I know that before the visa can be approved, he'll have to have a passport that's valid for at least six months after his entry date (at least, I believe that's what it is) but I wasn't sure if this was an issue that would matter until he gets an interview or if it will affect the petition that I submit as well as well. I'm afraid that even though everything else is order we might get either denied or a RFE that will set us back several weeks because even though the passport shows the stamps, it will also show the date that it runs out. I wasn't sure if this mattered this early in the process so long as he gets it renewed before he goes to the interview.

Naturally, we both want this process to go as smoothly as possible so we were wondering if he should go ahead and get his passport renewed before I submit our petition (and send a copy of both the old and new one with it) or if the expiration on his passport won't matter until he goes for his interview so we can wait to get this done. We'd rather wait a few days on the passport than risk having to go back and forth with the service center over something we could take care of now. But any advice you guys could offer would be wonderful. Thanks in advance for the help!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 QUESTIONS!!
I completely agree with what everyone else has said. Do not plan the actual wedding until you have your visa in hand (which could be anywhere from a couple months to longer than a year). It is impossible for anyone to tell you exactly how long the process will take as each case is different depending on the factors of each relationship. Australia does accept co-sponsors so that will not be an issue but you won't need a co-sponsor for a few months most likely. Your first step should definitely be to look at the K-1 immigration guide, it has a check list for everything that needs to be in the initial I-129F package which is what you are going to send first.

Also, make sure that you are looking at everything realistically. You are both still quite young. I am not saying you can't be in love or be sure about each other, I'm only asking you to make sure that you realize what you are getting into. The visa process is a long, expensive, and frustrating and won't be completed for a couple years from the time you send the first package so make sure that you are ready for all of it before jumping in and wasting the money if either of you should change your mind later.

If you are sure, I wish you all the best of luck with your visa journey and hope it goes smoothly. My fiance and I only recently finished the first major part of our journey (he is now in the U.S. and we are planning our wedding). He was from Australia so if you have an questions about things, I'd be glad to be of assistance with what is coming up if you do decide to go through with the visa. Best of luck!

Congrats!

Follow the guides here and you should have no problems...

Sadly, your fiancee being a nurse will probably not help your petition (their job is not really in question), it may help at the embassy though star_smile.gif

if she is a nurse I suggest she starts the application to get permission to sit her NCLEX exam now - because the only thing slower at processing applications than USCIS are the US nursing boards!

Ha! I will tell her that. smile.gif

I'm a single dad of 2. Raised my 4 year old since he was 9 months old totally on my own. If my ex wife (who has weekends on and off) decided to take my kids out of the country, I'd be damned if I'd just say..."Great opportunity for the tots!" If there are two parents in the picture.....I think it is totally unfair to step in and try to drag a child across the globe.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNov 1 NOA1, Dec 17 correction

Hello to all superpatient,

Few days ago my fiance called USCIS to verify the country of birth on our application (I don't know how, but I guess we DID miss it! NOA1 had "unknown" for the country of birth). He was told the correction was made and that aur application is being processed (and that they can't give him any more info). I was wondering if this is something that postpones the processing of our application... NOA1 November 1, 2010, correction made on December 17, 2010.

Anybody experienced this before?

Are there any other American-Polish couples out there? Anybody with NOA1 from around November 1?

Thanks ahead
Dzieki z gory

Agnieszka


I have a similar situation, and this is really a vent, because my NOA 1 says "unknown" for my fiance's country of origin, and I guess it's because I mispelled "Egypt" on my I129F application; it was a dumb mistake, a typo, but really, how hard is it to figure out that "Dgypt" should be "Egypt"? I called USCIS and they are putting in a service request to correct it. I should be contacted within 30 days that it has been corrected. I'm starting to understand why this process takes so long.....

I would advise you to contac the DOS and ask them if this is AP. Also, based on the Cairo embassy website Normal AP time is MAX 3months so just let them know its getting close. Good luck.



I emailed the Cairo embassy and asked specifically what our case status was, out of the options that togetherforever13 suggested above. Their response was that the case is currently being reviewed for issuance at the consular section. Sounds like good news, yes? I sure hope so :yes: He should get the visa soon? Insha'Allah.

I would advise disclosing anything you have done - misdemeanor or anything.
We even put a traffic ticket on there.
And at his interview, the Officer did ask him about it.
I wouldn't want to take a chance.

And I agree, if you want it clarified completely, seek out a "immigration" lawyer who will know immigration law specifically and not just a lawyer.

This is too important to use a "play on words" with the questions.

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 and co-sponsor
Hey everybody, I wonder if someone can help me with a question that bugs me... my fiancee (USC) is a full time student right now and will probably be for some months after our wedding. Although she has a job, her income will not be high enough to fulfill the poverty-line requirements. She's already talked to her dad and he will be our co-sponsor. So far so good.

Now I was wondering whether we have to submit two I-134 forms (one for her and one for her dad) since there's a co-sponsor or if it's enough for USCIS to have his data whenever the "real" affidavit of support has to be submitted with the AOS.

Furthermore, does anybody know how to handle confirmations of assets in various banks and states? Will we have to get something official from every financial institution my fiancee has an account with?

Thanks a lot!

Cheers, Julian

Middle East and North AfricaCongressmen, Senators ...

I think it helps. I contacted my Senator on a Friday regarding our interview date (we had waited about 6 weeks) and on Monday we had an e-mail with a date and time for our interview. I'm not sure if this makes any difference at all but Kiya's information was sent to Casa the same day as ours and they didn't get their interview until about 2 weeks after us? I think it will help speed things up most definetely. And if it doesn't it won't hurt you.



Glad you all had good experiences with your congressional representatives helping. We had the complete opposite.

All they could do was make inquiries, they have no power to speed things up or get the USCIS to actually take any action. "We can simply inquire as to the status", is what all the congresspeople and senators we spoke to said.

In fact, when we went to meet with the District Director in DC she told us "the minute a member of congress was involved the file was instantly frozen". We also found that when we went to the desk, to ask what was happening on our case, the IO said "I can't discuss this with you since there is congressional interest in this case".

I don't know if it is just where we live, the complexity of our case, or whether they are just plain useless!

Good Luck
Girona40FemaleEngland2006-02-23 10:29:00
Middle East and North AfricaNeed your insight
Personally, and this is only my personal opinion, I think you have a pretty good attorney. She has kept you updated with the situation and has tried to explain, diplomatically, how the USCIS and NBC works. There may be rules and dates and processing times they are supposed to meet, but in reality it isn't that simple. Rarely do they meet deadlines and many others are in your situation, waiting, waiting, waiting, for one thing or another. When it comes to requesting information as to why certain applications are taking forever, there are specific times you have to wait before you can even submit a question to them! This appears to be the problem with your I-129F and she is right, you can only wait for now. Frustrating I know.

If they are going to issue an RFE with regard to your I-130 you will probably hear soon. She is suggesting filling out the waiver paperwork because she suspects (and probably with good reason, due to her experience) that this is what is going to be required. You have two choices really, you can pay the $1000 and have her prepare it for Adiel to take with him, so he has it on hand. The alternative is to get there, find he needs a waiver and then there if further delay, which can be considerable. It is good that she has requested an "update" and she should hear back with regard to that soon.

I don't think contacting your congressional representatives or senators will help much - they have never helped us and just ask the same questions any of us can ask, really. That's just my experience in dealing with them. I suspect that is why your attorney hasn't even bothered mentioning it. You can request them to help, they will ask you to sign a paper allowing them to request information on your behalf, but they only get the same information your attorney and yourself will, if you put in a request for information.

I don't feel that his ethnicity is the reason for any of the delays, although others on VJ may be able to confirm this one way or another. I think it is just down to huge backlogs that have accumulated in the USCIS, NBC, State Department and FBI. The whole immigration process is just a mess at the moment and the government seem to be placing their focus on how to deal with the problems of "undocumented" aliens over those that are going through the preferred process.

I don't know what happens when you are already married and coming to visit your spouse in the US. I know that you would need to show "ties" to your country of origin to prove that you are not entering to circumnavigate the required immigration process, such as mortgage papers, or a lease, a letter from an employer, bank details, that kind of thing. I am sure there are others on VJ that can advise you on that.

Hang in there! I can only imagine this is torture for you. For what it's worth, to me it sounds like you have a good attorney. She is doing all the right things, she is keeping you informed (which is more than our attorney does) and she seems sympathetic to your concerns.

It will all be over, soon I hope, and you will be able to enjoy married life together. Keep that goal in mind and you will get through this.

Hugs
G.




Dear Mireya,

This is just to update you on the two petitions you filed last year for Adiel. I completely understand your frustration with the terrible delay for both petitions and here is what I found :

1-129F : USCIS / National Benefits Center is currently processing K3-K4 applications filed on July 17th, 2006. Your petition was filed on July 18th, 2006 (can you believe it?). So, it has not even been processed yet. Apparently, there is a terrible backlog at the National Benefits Center and therefore, this horrible delay.
So, for this petition, it is not outside the processing time and there is nothing we can do about it except wait.



2. I-130 : I called USCIS to inquire about the unusual delay in the processing of your I-130 Petition. It is already way out of the NORMAL processing time. They could not tell me exactly why this is the case but indicated that it is possible that they are going to issue a request for further evidence. This is just speculation and could be with regard to either the issue of the marriage such as the issue of the parties not residing together or they are doing some kind of background check. I believe that they are taking precautions with regard to persons of certain ethnic origin and especially from the UK and some Middle Eastern countries. With this, the agent told me that all I can do right now is to put in a service request for information / update, which I have already done yesterday. They will contact me or you directly with this update / status or request for further evidence. This will apparently happen within 45 days. I calculated that we should hear something about the I-130 no later than March 8th, 2007. Please let me know if you hear anything before the expiry of this date.

Mireya, I am sorry about this. I hope that you understand that this delay is beyond my control. Each case is treated and processed on its own merits. Your case is a little unusual and of course, is complicated by Adiel's summary exclusion, reasons for which are still totally unknown to anyone except them.

Best regards,

XXXXXXXXXXX
Attorney at Law


Now in regards to the thing that she is calling "summary exclusion" she is referring to my husband being denied entry last year in Feb, when he tried to come in for a visit at which time he was held over night and denied entry on his passport for "immigrant intent" . He was turned around and put on the next flight back to the UK the next day. Before we got married he entered the USA with out a problem. We were told by an immigration officer tha beacuse he ws not married to a USC he could no longer enter to visit on his British VWP

When we got married we did not file for any type of visa immediately after because we both had other things to sort out in regards to jobs and school and family. We got married unexpectedly on his last visit to Texa. Our original plans were to get married latter in 2006 but we just could not wait and we took the big step. After we got married he left back to the UK and I remained in TX. 2005 was a tough year. Due to natural disastsers *hurrican Rita, financial strain and because we both had new jobs we were not able to see each other for over a year because we had no allocated vacation and money was tight. Well when we finally got every thing in order we planed for Adiel to come and visit so that we could prepare a Catholic ceremony and get the visa process started. We got married unexpectedly and our plans were to save money and have a more formal ceremony latter with our family and friends. We only had a civil marriage and an Islamic one in a Masjid where only him and I were present with four witnesses and that was it.

Our plans were not for Adiel to stay here but for him to go back to the UK until the whole visa process was complete. Adjusting status here after we got married was not a possibility because he has two small children that he has from a past girlfriend who he needs to provide for. As you can imagine with that kind of responsibility he can’t be with out work for too long. Well to make the long story short when he tried to return latter for a visit we were totally shocked when he was denied because he had never had a problem entering the USA before. This is the complete time line of events:

04/16/03 Met online
08/16/04 Mireya flies to UK to meet Adiel
08/21/04 Trip to Greece
09/02/04 We return to London
09/05/04 Mireya returns to the Texas :0(
12/13/04 Adiel flies to Houston :)
12/31/04 We bring in the new years with a bang we get MARRIED!
01/06/05 Adiel returns to London. :(
08/ / 05 Adiel visit to Texas gets canceled because hurricane Rita.
02/12/06 Adiel is refused entry on VWP and both him and I are interrogated by FBI officials at Houston Intercontinental airport. We are both clueless as to this. I was not allowed to see him and he was not allowed to see me. The FBI asked me the weirdest questions like: How many times a day does he pray, has he ever said any thing against the USA, when was the last time he went to a mosque, is that ring on your finger from him or from another marriage? Where does he work, what does he do? How did you meet?

Any ways what do you think about what the lawyer has said in regards to why our case might be difficult because we got married and we have not live together? Also it pissed me off that she did not even mention lets try and contact a congressman or senator to make an inquiry. At lease I had sense enough to do that. Apparently she has no clue that even though my application has a receipt for July 18, applications that were submitted way after me have already been approved. =0( My husband is Pakistani but he was born and raised in London and has only been to Pakistan about 2 times when he was like 3 yrs old and some other time when he was in his late teens early 20’s. He is currently 36. I hate the fact that the lawyer implies that because of his ethnicity or maybe even religion we are having such difficulties with the applications. Is the lawyer correct in stereotyping? What are your thoughts to her comments? Is she correct in saying that my husbaned was summaryly exluded is that the term for people that are denied on VWP and refused entry? Am I over reacting? I forgot to mention that this lawyer also wants to charge 1,000 extra to prepare a waiver for my hubby for him to have ready and take to his interview in case they ask him to file a waiver because he was refused last time he tried to come and visit me. Hsi passport got an ugly " refused-intent to immigrate" stamp. She says he is not sure if he will or will not need it but in the event that he does not need the waiver he will have it ready. She is not sure if the waiver will be needed but she chis chargeing 1,000 regardless if they ask for it or not because she is going to "prepare it for him to have at the interview in case they as for one." Let me know your feed back on this also.
