[kingsakoil 0]

This question asks if your fiance is in the US at the time of your filing....well she is coming in October for a visit for a few weeks..we plan on filing the application then....for this part of the application should we put N/A?...It asks for an I-95..or I-94 #?..She will be here..but only visiting..then will be gone while the application is going thru the motions....Thanks for your help on this!

The question seems to be straightforward. She will be in the U.S. and will have an I-94, so you'll have the data to fill in. She'll be asked about her visits to the U.S. later in the process (when filling out forms for the interview), so I guess it's advisable to fill out I-129f with accurate info.

Ah, it's a form people who enter the U.S. get to fill out (arrival/departure form) - stating the date of entry and the day they're supposed to leave. This form has to be returned before a visitor leaves the country.

Hi,

I am in the US visiting as well so we indicated as such. Also, because I was coming from Canada, I did not have an I-94... so I wrote in that box "Canadian citizen - no I-94 issued" or something to that effect.

That's a very good tip, Mo.

I found this on the Paris Embassy website: http://www.amb-usa.fr/consul/niv/I94W.htm

What is an I-94 or I-94W?

Foreign visitors to the United States complete an I-94 (white in color), if they hold a valid visa, or an I-94W (green in color), if traveling without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). The process is as follows:

* The card is received from the airline and must be given to an inspector of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the port of entry in the US when applying for admission.

* The inspector separates the bottom part of the card and attaches it to the passport.

* The part attached to the passport notes the date of entry to the United States and authorized time the visitor may stay in the country.

* When a visitor leaves the US, the airline representative, normally at the check-in counter, should remove the I-94 or I-94W from the passport.

* Sometimes, due to an error, the card is not removed and the passenger's departure from the United States is not registered with the CBP.

If this happens, the next time you apply to enter the US, your visa may be cancelled and/or you may be denied entry into the US (Visitors who overstay their permitted time in the US under the VWP cannot reenter the US in the future without getting a visa.) If this happens and you arrive at a US port of entry seeking admission under the VWP without a visa, US immigration officials may deny you entry into the US Therefore, visitors must be sure that they surrender the I-94 or I-94W to the transport carrier before they leave the US

- bolded by me.

I guess it gives a general idea to those coming under the visa waiver program.

She is coming from the UK...no Visa as such...just for vacation...so does this mean...we should just forget this part?..Or is it a requirement that she have this form?...I'm confused

According to the info above, she'll get an I-94W.

[mozplay 28]

Has she ever received such a form before? I really dont' remember if the customs forms that we all get on airplanes have either of these file numbers on them, but because I drove back and forth most of the time, I never got a form or got stamped.

Best advice... if she gets a form then put the info in. If not, then simply state that she came in on the VWP. Perhaps someone who's SO is from the UK would be best suited to this question.

That being said.. I'd better shut up now so that they can get a word in edgewise, lol.

Mo, I found this:

USA Arrival-Departure Record (Form I-94)

This page has information for visitors to the U.S. about Form I-94 which is issued upon arrival and which should be returned upon departure from the U.S. For general information about visiting the U.S. please use the link below.

Not Applicable to Canadian Citizens

Canadians who travel to the United States as tourists or on business generally do not need a Form I-94.

Do you think my experience on VJ will count when I apply for a job in the U.S.?

kingsakoil,

Point of clarification: an I-129f petition is not a K1 visa application.

Aside from the fact that there is always a more meaningful answer to any question than 'N/A', if the question asks if your fiance(e) is in the USA and they are in the USA then how can the question possibly not be applicable? Answer the question, all parts of the question.
