K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould these pictures be shown at K-1 interview?

Be very careful in some countries if it was performed by someone who is allowed to marry ppl it will be considered a legal wedding. For example in Canada if you have a priest do a religious ceremony even if you do not sign anything it is considered a legal marriage and you are not elligible for a K1.

You can play dumb as much as you want, but if asked by the consulate if you had a so called non-registered marriage you must be 100% honest. You don;t want to be slapped with misrepresentation.

My wife came from Philippines, and I was nervous about an engagement party.,.,.,,where I just got down on one knee and proposed.,.,but "no service".,.,.,.,.nothing but a lot of people, eating and drinking, having a great time!

 

But, I was worried someone would post something.,.,.,.,WHICH can trigger a direct refusal!

 

 

engagement parties are very typical in Filipino culture. I would not worry about one of those at all. But there are plenty having blessing ceremonies in full wedding attire that get themselves in trouble.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSame-Sex K-1 Couple Needs Help With Marriage Planning

My 2-cents: Go with a simple, quick city hall wedding because that is what your spouse will need to begin his AOS, once you receive the certified copy.  Get the legal aspect taken care and out of the way first, so that you can sit and together decide on which type of religious ceremony or other celebration is appropriate for you.

 

Good luck and congrats!

 

 

My same-sex fiance and I have just started the K-1 fiance process. Although our marriage is still several months in the future, it is something we would like to have some definite plans for before he goes to his embassy interview. Since neither of us have been married before, we need some ideas on how to proceed. We will be living in upstate New York after he gets his K-1 visa. My fiance is Catholic, so getting married in church is pretty much ruled out. We both have researched on the internet for answers on where to get married, but we are no further ahead than when we started. Where we have the ceremony is not important to us - we love each other, that's all that counts to us. Can we get married at the courthouse?  We would love some insight from some of you who have been through this before.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresApproved k-1 visa yesterday, but message to re-do oath at Embassy

Hi Everyone, 

 

I'm hoping that someone can give me some advice.  Yesterday my fiance had his interview at the U.S. interest section in Cuba.  Today, he received a voicemail message that he needs to go back to the Embassy on a specific date and time to make again the oath in front of the officer.  Any ideas as to why this maybe?  Will he have to undergo another interview? 

 

Any help would be appreciated!!! 

 

No he won't do another interview.  The CO forgot to take his oath during the interview.  CO did that with my wife but caught his oops and called her back up to his window before we had left the embassy.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChanging jobs while applying for visa.

Hi guys, my first post here.  My fiance is having alot of issues at work, enough to the point she wants to quit the job.  How would this effect our immigration?  She is also my sponser.  We are led to believe that she needs to maintain solid employment, but surely there has to be some form of allowence to change jobs??  Its getting real old, real quick seeing her in tears because of work.  So if anyone can shed some light on this we would greatly appreciate it.  Probably asking a bit much, but if you anwser, would you be so kind as to post a link or something to where this sort of information is.  Thanks in advance guys.
 

She does not provide her financial support documents when you first file. That will be months down the road at your interview. If she has a new job, and a letter from her employer stating adequate earnings, that is all London consulate will require to approve your visa. A few pay slips would be an additional proof you could bring. If she doesn't have a job by then, someone else can be your sponsor for the visa. London is fairly lenient on this for K1s. This is not information for those in other countries but the UK. Each is different.

A source to read. http://london.usemba...faffidavit.html

And wade through this page 15 and 16 about the I-134 Affidavit of support http://www.state.gov...ation/86988.pdf

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 - What to do if you don't have a job history

Embassies do not have to accept co-sponsors when applying for a K-1 visa. Some embassies will, some won't, and some accept co-sponsors sometimes. Each embassy tends to make its own rules on what it wants to see. Technically you only need to meet 100% of poverty for the K-1, but most seem demand 125% because they know you'll need that to adjust status later. Even at 125% they do not need to accept that as sufficient to keep the immigrant from needing government aid. It is totally up to the CO when applying for a K-1. Typically they see a student graduating from college with an in demand degree, as a better risk to keep the immigrant off the public dole. Seeing family support behind the immigrant also helps turn the tides at the maybe they'll accept a co-sponsor embassy. A friend who might be gone tomorrow, or might balk at the language in the I-864 is going to much less acceptable for them. Also the I-134 requires 5 times the value in assets to make up for the shortfall of income. The I-864 requires only 3 times, but that one won't come up until you're adjusting status. BTW, the CR-1 visa for a spouse ties the hands of the CO at the embassy as to what they must accept for income, assets and co-sponsor. They must accept a co-sponsor as long as the meet the income requirements and are a citizen or legal resident of the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 - What to do if you don't have a job history

Hey there again, 

So I am just graduating college and lived in Colombia this last year where I met my fiance and as a result I have no little to no salary history to show the consulate. I do however have more than sufficient enough assets (tens of thousands of dollars) that could be increased substantially with a co-sponsor. 

 

Am I just totally screwed because of this? What do I do?


 


 

They want annual income. the cosponsor should have that also....not just assets.  Maybe you best bet....for your future family....is to stay here and get your first job and get that annual income started.

You should be giving a chance to get a cosponsor.


You  should get moving on getting all the forms done just in case you can get them to them on Friday. Just a warning Montreal is very slow at reviewing anything sent to them after the interview.

Please tell me there is another way to do this, the idea of being separated from my fiance for another 6-8 months because I have to prove work is breaking my heart right now.

Not worried about finding an adequate job to support her once you both arrive?   If not, then you should be able to do as you propose.

@baron555 well no I am not worried since we have 6 months from the time she receives her visa to actually enter the US. So when you say I should be able to, does that mean that it is possible and common to get the visa on the strength of asset's alone? 

 

Email the Embassy.  Current income is key.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1/K2 visa and reporting birth abroad process

I am in a position where I don't quite know which path to take. I have already filed for the k-1 visa and received my NOA1. The beneficiary's child is also my own.. although born in another country (chile). I emailed the embassy and they keep referring me to 'report the birth of a child abroad'. The k-1 visa process is currently being reviewed and doing its thing.. I have marked down the child's name on the k-1 and my question becomes what do I do? If i report the birth abroad will that interrupt the k-1 visa process? The embassy keeps referring me to reporting the birth abroad but I just want to know if it will affect the k-1 visa in any way.. or create problems? Thanks for viewing my post.

 

The child qualifies for a US Passport since you are one of it's parents......that's what the Embassy is trying to say.

The reason the consulate keeps pushing you to the CRBA is because your child is probably qualifies for USC and not K-2. If your finance goes to interview without a CRBA odds are she will end up in AP until the CRBA is in hand.


 

And we've seen that in cases where the CRBA is not quickly possible, then the child is given a K-2 and you complete everything once they are here.
