k1 visa

[Inloved17 8]

Hello everyone,

Id like to know if somebody can help me with this..is it true that my fiance (the petitioner) needs to bring a birth certificate of him to the interview in DR? I must say he was born in the US and he doesn't have latin family.

I'm confused. If he was born in the US wouldn't that make him a US citizen? Why then would he need a visa? I think I'm missing something here.

He is the petitioner and I'm the beneficiary. Some ppl have told me that the petitioner has to bring a birth certificate the day of the interview. I wanna know if that's true..

He doesn't attend the interview in the DR. The fiancée being petitioned does. He needs to be in the USA to get the k1

In the website of the us embassy in DR they strongly recommend that the petitioner accompany the beneficiary to the k1 visa interview in order to approve the visa.

they did not ask my bf (petitioner) for the birth certificate at the interview they asked for mine, the only thing they as for was his passport

In the initial phase of the K1 process the USC petitioner has to "demonstrate" their US citizenship to USCIS. ONE of the ways is to send in a copy of the USC birth certificate. There are also other ways, refer to the Form I-129F instructions for details. If the I-129F petition is approved, there will very likely be a copy of whatever method the USC demonstrated his US citizenship in the approved petition packet that is sent to the interviewing embassy/consulate for further processing. At the visa interview the CO can ask to see the originals of any copy of any document that has been submitted thus far in the immigration process. Please note that same request can be made at any time during the immigration process by a consulate official (CO), or immigration official (IO).

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Thank you inloved17.... I did but his isn't on there. Just wondering if there is an estimate amount of time or number I can call.

[Inloved17 8]

Well ericayluis they have a new number where u can call 829-956-5144 but they have no clue about k1 visa, mostly is for non-inmigrant visas , tourist visas , student visas etc ...

I recommend u to send an emai. l to santodomingovisas@state.gov . They say they are not using that email adress no more but they'll respond. I sent them an email there and they told me when will be my appointment
