What do I and my fiancee need to start the process?

[leoidiarte 2]

Hello friends,

I'm new here on Visa Journey. I went indicated by a Brazilian friend, I received many compliments on this site.

And then I came to confer with my own eyes, and really this is the most complete site I've ever seen!

People really interested in helping - That's what I (and my fiancee) needed!

Well, first I want to say congratulations to everyone who got the visa! I think it should be a lot of happiness. And those who are in the process: I wish all the luck and all the dreams will come true!

Everything will be fine for you all!

I have many questions... (Millions of Questions ) And then I'd rather ask people who have done this and could not be any problem. I would like to hear stories. I think this strengthens the confidence to go forward.

I'd like to read these stories, I would like to receive tips on what to do, the best way possible and fast.

What we're doing now is read and read and gather our documents and evidence of our relationship.

I want to know: What is necessary to send it to start the process K-1 visa?

I read that there are three forms to start the process - right? (if I'm wrong, please correct me!)

I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiancé)

I-134 (Affidavit of Support) <- Is necessary to send this too? It is also necessary to send the first time together?

G-325A (Biographic Information) <- We must fill this out? It is necessary also send together the first time?

I read that these are the forms that we should send - may be wrong, but you all explain to me the right way.

Is there anything else we should send to start the process? How: Photos, Letters, plane tickets etc?

or it is not necessary now?

I wonder what is necessary to send and not get errors later.

Another question: This process takes a long time to be ready? (I think so... that's why I'm afraid)

I will explain the situation a little better ... She's pregnant (I'll be a father!) And she is 9 weeks pregnant. I think our baby will be born in late February, so we're running out of time.

She has medical documents showing that she is pregnant, we should send it?

I'm afraid not be ready until February and missing the birth of our child, That would be cruel and very sad.

I'll have lost the entire pregnancy that is a fantastic time then I cannot even think of that possibility..

Anyway, I'd like help about how to proceed in the best way possible,

Thank you all!

Hi There and welcome to vj.

To be honest the best answer I can give you is to click the guides tab at the top of the site and follow the k1 guide, If you follow what it says you will be fine.

good luck, it does take time and a lot of patience throughout the process just be forewarned lol.

Hi! and welcome. Here is the K-1 guide http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

Read over that and it will answer a lot of questions. Regarding the pregnancy, if the USC is pregnant, she may be able to request an expedite based on her situation - no guaranteee it will be granted, but worth a shot. You could also apply for a tourist visa to be there for the birth. Good luck and congrats!

No expedite for pregnancy or having a baby sorry. If they did this, EVERYONE would get pregnant and rush over to the US.

My understanding is it's the USC that is pregnant, which is significantly different than the beneficiary being pregnant. Here is a whole recent thread about USC pregnancy and expedite. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/319518-is-it-worth-a-try/

I guess u got a lot of good answers and advices already.

My visa was just approved and I got my passport yesterday with the visa stamped.

Wanna wish u good luck and congrats for the pregnancy!

[bigdog 377]

Welcome to the family. Follow the K1 guides and forms on this site, they are accurate. Be complete, keep all documents organized and multiple copies one for both of you. The sooner you file the sooner you will begin the Journey. Look at the requirements, forms and you will be OK. Each person who want to second guess them by substituting a shortcut usually has problems ( see the posts here). Good Luck.

[Que Saudade 284]

Boa Sorte.....

Welcome to the journey. I have some links on my signature that will help you also.....

Everyone? Certainly not me or my wife. Having a baby is not a joke or a way to skip the line, is a real commitment.

But it would be so CUTE...There will BABIES all over the place!!!!

Everyone pretty much gave the same advice I would give. When my fiancee and I first put our packe together we took everything from this site. If you send in all the forms under the K1 process on this site you will be in good shape. they have downloadable / sendable forms and examples to show you have to fill it out. You will not need your affidavit of support until it is time for your interview in Brazil. What you will need is a completed I-129 F petition, a G325A for you and for her, A Fiance / Fiancee letter of intent from each of you (filled out and signed. Is she in America right now or Brazil? If she is in America you will need to prepare / send her your end of things and then she will send it in when she sends in everything. If you are together in Brazil, then you can fill / send these things together. You will each need the pass port style pictures (clipped to the top of each G325A) Supporting evidence: My fincee and and I sent in chat transcripts from skype, pictures of she and I when I was visiting her in the UK and she was visiting me here. I sent in just a screen shot of my email box (which showed that every other email I got was from her). You just need proof that you have a seriious and ongoing relationship. You can probably use the fact that she is pregnant with your child to expidite your claim. I would prepare an urgent letter to the USCIS stating something along the lines of "I don't want to make my fiancee have to face the challenges of being pregnant alone. I want to be there when my child is born." etc Good Luck and congratulations on your engagement / baby
