Asia: SouthK1 Visa for 22 year old Thai girl

so do you think an attorney will be a wise move? is it worth it and will it speed up the amount of time it takes to get her the visa??


Don't know how much an attorney will help... I don't think it will speed things up much overall. Filling out the forms yourself takes some time and you have to pay attention to details. If you lack the time (and its not really all that much time that you need), or the attention to detail, then a good attorney might help. Of course, there have been many stories here of attorneys missing some of the fine details too.

Asia: SouthWhat do I do now?
yes, Amit will be interviewing at the Delhi Embassy... I have made my mind up to be there for his interview.. I was wanting to go before the interview due to his sister is requesting me to stay with her bcs she is expecting her first baby in May. If I wasnt worried about the paperwork that I needed to do here for his visa, I would just go back to India and stay until his interview... Does anyone have any experience with this?

Asia: SouthVisitor visa
From what I have read, he is going to have to show some ties or he will be denied. I know one way of doing this is with an employment letter, house in his name, cars/bikes.... I dont know about $50,000 USD but I know atleast a bank account in his name... anything to show ties to the communtity etc... But I dont know how wise it is for him to try to come see you in the current situation... Can you not go there instead and just have him pay for everything? I dont know how true this is... but I have been told that if you ever get denied for a visa it makes it really difficult for you to get a different one....

I found this information that might be helpful to you: http://www.mapsofwor...from-india.html

There are various forms of Visas to immigrate to the US (permanent and temporary). The Visitor Visa (B category Visa) enables people from around the world to immigrate (non –permanent) on grounds of business purpose (B1 Visa) or for simple traveling or medical treatment purposes (B 2 Visa). Regarding the Visitor Visa to USA from India, the application for such Visa requires the following documents:

1. Documents required (mandatory for both B1 and B2 Visas) :
*A valid passport
*Nonimmigrant Visa Application ( DS-156 Form )
*Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application ( DS-157 Form ) only in case the applicant is 15-55 years of age
*One photo
*HDFC Bank Visa Fee Receipt with two bar code stickers
*Interview appointment letter
*Demand draft for the Visa Issuance Fee (unless the applicant is a Bhutanese citizen, holding a yellow Identity Certificate or applying for a A, C, C-
1/D, D, F, G, J, K, M, T, V or Blanket L-1 visa)


2. Supporting Documents (for B1 Visa) :
*Invitation letter from the U.S. counterpart/company with which the applicant plans to conduct business
*Recent bills or other documentary evidence of recent imports and exports of purchases
*Evidence of arrangements for lodging and appointments already made in the US in preparation for the trip
*Incorporation documents and business license
*Tax statements for the last 2 years
*Bank transaction statements for the last six months.
*Copies (if any) of recent advertising brochures or publications


3. Supporting Documents (for B1 Visa) :
*Employment and salary details
*Income Tax and bank statements and documents
*A No Objection Letter or Certificate and leave sanctioned letter (in case the applicant works in Government Service or with any of the Armed Forces)
*In case the applicant has a sponsor for the trip or medical treatment, then the following documents are needed:
*I-134 Form from the sponsor (a close relative), and also his/her bank statements and employment letter
*A copy of the passport of the sponsor in the US (Preferably a copy of the Indian passport)
*Documents to show the sponsor's legal status in the US
*In case of medical treatment in the US, documents should also include (besides the regular B 2 visa application documents):
*A letter from the applicant's doctor in India stating the diagnosis of the former's health condition and the necessary treatment(s)
*A letter from a licensed US medical facility stating its acceptability of the applicant as a patient and having an appointment with him/her. The letter should also state the duration and total cost of treatment
*Evidence that the applicant has the funds to pay for all anticipated expenses

I hope this helps.... goodluck!

Ready2Kl,

Yes i got the appointments within short notice even though i had enough time. My parents applied Passport PCC at Hyderabad passport office and they got it within a week. They submitted application form along with a fee, photos and original passport and within a week they got it through courier. They also applied PCC form the local Police Station and got it within few days too.


Good Luck! Thanks, Raj

Hi Raj,

Were you able to get appointments with a short notice? I am not sure how much time I would have after the interview letter arrives and it looks like we cannot schedule the appointment without the interview letter for medical exam.

Also how long did your parents take to get their PCC's? Did you apply for PCC's from Hyderabad?

Hello ,

My wife hasnt done but we are planning to use Hyderabad. Which part of AP are you from? We are planning to get it done in 1st or 2nd week of Feb . I have heard Vijaya diagnostics is a reputed one since it has been around for a while.

boy1980,

My parents went to Vijaya Diagnostic Center in HimayathNagar for their medicals. It is a two day process for most of them. First day they will check Interview Letter, Passport, photos and any other medical documents(vaccinations list)....take blood sample and other necessary tests based on the age and on the next day...based on the report results and the list of vaccinations they will give vaccinations and then the Doctor will give the sealed envelope and this envelope needs to be taken at the time of interview.

My parents praised the Doctor and his staff as they are very friendly and very professional.

The appointment is through emails only. The doctor's details

Dr Raj Kumar Songa MD (AIIMS)
Panel Physician
US Consulate General Hyderabad

EMAIL: drrajksongaus@gmail.com

Hope this helps...Good Luck! Thanks, Raj

Hey,
Does any body from Hyderabad,India went to Vijaya Diagnostic center for their medical? If yes,how long they take to give medical report? Will the reports be given to us or forwarded directly to consulate,chennai.

I am in dilemma whether to get the medicals done in Vijaya diagnostic center, Hyderabad or Apollo hospital,chennai.

Please share your experiences.

Asia: SouthWhat do I do now?

Melody, I say if you have the means to go the interview than hands down you need to be there. I was there for Tarun's interview and can say without a doubt it helped us 100%! They interviewed me as well and I think that is the best bonafides of a relationship you can possibly give them. Delhi is such a hard Consulate that if you can swing it do it!



Same thoughts echoed here, Melody. Moksha is right. Mine is a very simple case - my wife and I have never been married before or have any kids and while our case is very simple (and in Chennai consulate), I'm still not taking any chances and totally plan to go to India for her interview. Chennai apparently gives the visa the same day; I whole-heartedly intend on bringing my bride back with me when I go for the interview.

Also, one of my good friends from college used to work as a consulate officer doing interviews in Guyana. Oddly enough, he himself has now applied for a K1 visa for his japanese fiance! anyway, he told me that presence of the spouse is a very good indication that its a bonafide marriage. He used to look for all kinds of fraud activities in interviews. Hope this helps...

Hi Rohini! smile.gif

No, Delhi does not insist that you have the I-134 notarized. They just haven't updated their website. So the new I-134 of 10/30/2008 that does not require notarization will suffice.


Take care and very best wishes!

I-751 is for removing condition, which you will have to file at 90 days mark before your 2 year GC expires. So you don't need it now, you have time for it, relax and enjoy your holidays for 2 weeks in India.

No, you don't need any visa, you are an Indian national. For how long you can stay, India won't stop you for however long you want to stay but since you are a Green Card holder, you might have problem entering US if you stay in India for more than 6 months.

Being a GC holder of US, you will have to satisfy the residency requirement of US govt.

I think you have a rather straight forward case from what you've said. You're not too young to petition (I think that's sub-18?).

Only point of interest from what you've said is your very recent divorce. That might cause issues -- search the forums for threads about this.

Do you need a lawyer? I don't know. I thought I needed one when I filed so I called one. This lawyer happened to be honest ( :devil: ) and told me to just follow the instructions and I'll be fine. And I am (so far, crossing fingers!).

Please let me know if this is good/bad/needs something/needs to lose something...whatever your thoughts, they are welcome. I will be including my case number when I send it.

Email ---

My fiance attended his K-1 visa interview yesterday, January 28. During the course of the interview he was yelled at repeatedly by the consular officer when he would not change his answers to the questions. The officer repeatedly asked "What did your parents say when when you told them she was divorced with three kids?" (By she he was referring to me.) My fiance's parents told him it was his choice but the consular officer did not believe that and kept yelling over him every time he tried to provide that same answer. After the officer had yelled it several times another woman came over to the officer and the two of them began whispering, asking my fiance a question, then laughing at him as soon as he began to speak. After yelling more than 10 times the same question again, in the presence of the woman, the officer told my fiance that since his parents didn't say anything that his visa was denied and closed the window. This is unprofessional conduct and not the conduct expected or becoming a consular officer. Are your officers expected, trained, or told to publicly humiliate and berate/degrade applicants? Several individuals at other windows also noticed the spectacle.

I am writing to you to formally request a second interview in which I will be present. I am requesting an ethical and professional consular officer to perform the interview and my fiance and myself are prepared to answer any questions.

Also, since it seemed to be a topic of interest, as detailed in my separation papers and divorce decree I separated from my husband in July 2006 and moved 2 states away from him. Due to him being deployed with the U.S. Marine Corps a divorce or formal paperwork was not possible as I was informed by legal those papers could not be served in Iraq. That is the only reason our divorce was delayed. The consular officer did not even seem to know that or have read that at the time of the interview and would not accept that when my fiance tried to tell him so.

signed/name/date/case #
----------------------------------------------------------------


--not included in letter but FYI. My ex husband was in Iraq 25 of the 36 months preceding our divorce. He was not home long enough for legal to get all the papers in order since 2 states had to be involved and papers had to be mailed/notarized/signed, etc. I purchased a house in July 2006 in middle Virginia. He lived in the southernmost tip of SC. There is no doubt we were separated and all that is detailed in our divorce and separation and witnessed by his command. SC was backed up on cases and it took us until after I met my then friend now fiancee to get the divorce finalized. I know that hurt the case a little, however it was clear that we had not lived together in a long time. Divorce is not something simple and quick, any idiot knows that. We had to mutually agree to assets and children while dealing with deployments and deal with overworked Navy legal. That in no way signifies my relationship isn't bona fide and furthermore we did not engaged till after my divorce.

I just got the letter and the pics of the passport. The stamp in his passport was faked. I don't know what the CO was trying to prove but he never stamped anything in there. My fiance in a panic, in the dark no less, to see what the CO had stamped saw a stamp from the passport clearance. Thank goodness. I was freaking out. I am attaching the letter. Even though the CO said he was denied, it is written like a 221(g). Furthermore it says it was denied because the NOA-2 had expired. Thankfully I sent letters and made phone calls about that before the interview. I'm mentioning that in my letters to Congress as well.

in the meantime, contact your senators, email the embassy, etc. when we did, the senators in my state did jack squat, but i hear there are some good senators out there. i hope yours are. email the embassy to see what is going on. you may get a generic answer. also try calling the embassy yourself. it is sometimes difficult to get through, but if you are persistant, you can talk to someone. i found it easiest to get a person on wednesdays. but i recommend calling every day. you can go to their website to get the phone numbers, and i think they have a specific time they answer calls. mondays were the hardest days to get through. it will keep ringing busy. i remember having two phones going at the same time, plus my then fiance's dialing in to get through. so yes, it will take persistance.



I am a property owner in VA and live in NC. I emailed 4 senators (VA and NC) just now. I will call the embassy in a couple of hours when they open. I had no luck getting through to DOS today. I'm going to be calling tomorrow. I am also emailing the embassy as well. I just pasted the same letter in all 5 emails. I'm too stressed and upset to think of 5 different things to say and to be honest....I don't know that I could come up with 5. I requested in all 5 to have the case stay at the embassy and in the embassy email I requested a new interview. I'm going to Delhi no matter what. I am already making arrangements for my children to go somewhere, one will go with me since the jacka** at the embassy thinks my fiance's parents are bothered by my kids. I can't afford to take all 3 right now and my 7 year old is terrified of planes. So they are going to have to suck it up and deal with just one being there. I'm not sure whether I should be heartbroken or pissed.

If anyone knows of anything else I can do, please let me know. I can't think straight on my own right now. Thank you in advance!

P.S. My fiance is not awake yet. He is going to scan the documents first thing in his morning (in the next couple of hours). I will have them soon and will know what was stamped in his passport. I will update you all then. Thank you for all the support so far.

OMG some people just loveeeeee to use their power on others. He could have asked nicely and if only he would have listened. I heard that women CO are much better than male. I am so sorry on how they treated your fiance (F) If I were you I would take a look at the scanned document and take what ever decision you want to take.

Melody good luck to you guys. BTW you two look cute together. :)



It gets WORSE!!!

After trying all day to get as much information as possible (he was on the Train and not in his Airtel coverage area and I have limited breaks at work and could not get off today) I found out even worse information. Apparently after the CO started yelling at him a woman came over to the CO. The CO whispered something to her then asked my fiancee a question and when he tried to answer they both burst into laughter. The question was "Why do you want to marry a divorcee with 3 kids?" The SAME question he was yelling before. They didn't let him answer. Then he was asked again "What exactly did your parents say when you told them she had 3 kids?" My fiancee replied that his parents told him it was his choice and the CO got irate and asked him again "What exactly did your parents say when you told them she had 3 kids?" My fiance answered "they said nothing." The CO got up and yelled at him that if his parents didn't care then his visa was denied, closed the window and left my fiancee sitting there thinking ####### just happened. He was in shock and didn't even pick up our papers and someone else had to point them out to him so he didn't leave without them. My fiance also said they had the paper typed up and ready before he sat down at the window, he saw it. He said every time he tried to answer the CO talked over him and more than once verbally berated him. He said one of the first things the CO mentioned was that our NOA-2 had expired. (I had contacted them about this and sent letters and emails requesting extension.)

Here's the problem. I can't just get up and go to India. I am a single mom to 3 kids, my father who I live with to help care for is about to undergo surgery to have a pacemaker installed. Even if I forgot all that, I have nowhere to leave my kids. Their dad is legally psychotic - why I left him - and my mother does foster care and getting the kids to stay with her requires a lengthy approval process to get approval through the state. I still would have went through all of that to go, however I'm in training right now and under contract that I can't miss any of it, let alone the 4 days minimum to fly straight to Delhi and back. I tried to get the interview sooner so I could go and they refused. They had no reason to hold his packet 4 at the embassy for 11 weeks before scheduling the interview anyway, then when they did schedule it they scheduled it for after the NOA-2 expired. I still have the correspondence I sent them and ID numbers/dates/times from the phone calls I made. I am not giving up. I'm not going down without a fight.

If I get another interview scheduled how long will that take? I need to start requesting the personal leave and getting the babysitting issues with my kids and caretaker issues with my father taken care of now. I am appalled at how my fiancee was treated. I will be writing a formal congressional inquiry after I make the phone calls. I will be forwarding complaints to everyone and anyone I can. No one deserves to be publicly humiliated (and he was because he said the yelling of the CO drew attention from several others, including another employee....so that tells you something is VERY wrong), or treated the way he was treated. You can't legitimately say we don't have a valid relationship because I have kids.

Thank you. I will. I'm waiting for the DOS to open as well. The embassy is closed for the day today. I will be calling as many people as I can. Should I start working on EOIR-29? He's going to scan his letter and his passport for me and send it to me in the morning, he won't get home in time to do it tonight. (Delhi was a full day's trip for him.)

He also told me the paper he received is just a letter. There is no number such as 221g or 214b. He said it has his name, our case number and then the line I mentioned above about being sent back followed by the not conclusive line typed above. He said there is nothing below that. No form number, no indication of a date. It is on letterhead (US immigration visa section).

I just got back through to my fiancee and he said the CO yelled (literally) more than 10 times "What did your parents say when you told them you were going to marry a divorced woman with 3 kids?" When my fiancee tried to answer him after he stopped yelling he started yelling "Why?"

I know that is unethical and not conduct becoming a CO. Can we file a complaint?

Asia: SouthWhat do I do now?
Can I do anything in the mean time? I'm already planning another trip for this summer with the money I had saved for the wedding. The waiting won't kill me (not literally anyway) but I feel like this is complete #######. How can you say someone doesn't have a bona fide relationship yet not give them the chance to submit proof. There were a lot of things that we couldn't have given them before the interview such as photo albums and such. We already submitted over 50 pieces of postal mail, 75 pages of phone logs and then after those ended 4 monthly statements detailing number of calls and minutes used between me and him and me and his family. The main question that they seemed to keep berating him about was how his parents felt about him marrying me since I was divorced with 3 kids. My fiancee said he kept coming back to that and saying how he didn't believe his parents would ever approve. His parents were there, he could have asked them (I know...not really but the angry part of me says he should have and we could have avoided this.) His whole family loves me. I speak to them on the phone in their native language regularly and submitted proof of that at the USCIS and to the VFS. Furthermore, we haven't even been on yahoo for almost 2 years, our entire relationship was moved offline. And how would what we were doing on yahoo before we met even matter for our relationship.
ms_jinga_lalaFemaleIndia1/28/2010 7:11
Asia: SouthWhat do I do now?
It expired on Jan 22. I wrote them about it, I begged them to extend it. He said the CO told him specifically he was denied but gave him the white piece of paper which usually means AR. I am going to have him scan it all and send it to me. I'm not giving up just because some CO questioned my being married before. I was separated from my ex for 2 years before I met my fiancee. They didn't even know that at the interview. He said they asked and when he answered and told him I left my ex in 2006 (we met in 2008) the CO started talking over him as if he didn't care. He said the CO tried to argue with him like that every time he tried to answer. He basically didn't even get to say hardly anything because they didn't even want to listen. They never even asked to see any papers or photos or anything.
