I did put my step dad on the I-129 but i wasn’t legally adopted. 

I think you should call or email them and ask if there was a mix up. You can start with “I have no clue who tetsunori is”

Thank you @Naes for always replying to me, I did email them if I need the original family register but they only got back to me with a generic answer of “ if your documents are in a different language it should be translated in english” apparently my fiance emailed them but they haven’t gotten back to us yet

I’m sure there is some mix up. And you’ll probably have better luck calling. It might suck and be a take a lot of time but it’s better than generic email responses.

 

 Double check your application. I know I made a few mistakes on my wife’s I-130. (I’m still trying to correct them and it’s a PIA).
 

 But The question remains who is Tetsunori? And why does USCIS think that is your son. 

 

Is that who you’re filing the K1 for? Is that your step dad? Did you check a wrong box? Did you put a name in the wrong place? Or did USCIS just make a mistake?

Hello @Scott001 and thank you for the reply, I would try calling them on Monday morning. I have no clue who Tetsunori is.

Good luck and hang in there. You’re in for a long and possibly frustrating process. You’ll find lots of help (and some drama) on this site. 😃

 

But we’re all in this together.

Hi guys

 

I have been reading some answers here but I'm still a bit confused.

It would be great if someone could help.

This is for the K1 fiancé visa (I'm not Japanese btw, I have permanent residency).

 

I got my NOA1 on Oct 7, 2019.

I'm expecting NOA2 in the next couple months (hopefully).

so here are my questions:

 

1.Can I get the police certificate with the copy of NOA1? (from what I read here)

 

2.After receiving NOA2, they will send it to NVC, and from there to Tokyo Embassy,

How long does that usually take?

When can I schedule my medical and what do I need exactly to do so? 

I'm confused about whether I should have some papers from the Embassy to schedule or with me on the day.

 

3.Are there any documents I'm supposed to send by mail to the embassy before my interview?

I thought I was supposed to take everything with me on the day.

 

As for the documents from my American fiancé;

- I-134 Affidavit of Support

- tax transcripts 

- anything else?

 

I apologize for so many questions but we've been in a LDR for almost a year and this visa process is driving me crazy.

If you have any tips or anything that I could to for the process to go smoother / faster please let me know!

 

Thank you In advance!

it may depend. Usually 1 month for it to get to nvc 1 week for it to reach Tokyo. But you should follow people with same dates on k1 forum for better dates. After it gets to embassy it’s may still take a while.

japan wants some to be sent beforehand, they will send you a list. I believe you can’t go to interview without these being sent.

-copy of birth certificate and/or whatever you use to prove citizenship

-i would get another copy of letter of intent to marry with a never date or resigned (not really necessary

-pay stubs, employment verification letter, bank statements (whatever matches your case)

Thanks a lot for all the info!

 

So I can only schedule my medical after I receive the list from the embassy?

 I was hoping I could do it before hand to avoid wasting time.

But It seems like I have to wait for the list huh?

No you can schedule earlier. Especially for medical, all you need is the nvc letter (should be in email to your fiancé or to you-mine also came in mail but that took a looping time)

 

you only need list to send it before the interview. So you can even schedule the interview (just don’t schedule too close- cause they really turn down without the package being sent)

Hello! My case is for K-1 Visa

 

My fiancé and I have already received the letter from the NVC last feb 18 and our status is already "ready" when I checked on CEAC website last feb 20. I have already finished filling up the DS-160 form and already scheduled an interview appointment on April 13 without receiving the letter from the embassy. My questions are:

1. will there be a problem with our timeline from the time it was ready until the interview date? I'm really worried that I might need to reschedule if have not received any letter from the embassy. 

2. If I do have to reschedule, how can I reschedule it? 

 

All input is much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Sorry I’m not sure about it but I would advise calling the embassy.

I actually heard from someone from the embassy that they are going to contact us once they receive our cases.
I think there is a link to reschedule the interview on the embassy website.

 

May I ask you - Were there a lot of openings when you scheduled your interview?

I think the NVC will be sending my case on March 3, I wonder if I will be able to schedule an interview for the end of March...

Thank you for the reply!

Im just panicking now bc I might have been too excited in scheduling the interview.

The earliest date is March 3 if I'm not mistaken. Open dates are only mondays.

Rescheduling is in the same website and it’s rather easy.

 

you can reschedule up to 3 times. And then you would need to repay the money for scheduling.

I would contact embassy. I was in a similar situation you can read my embassy review if you like. 
 

K1 interviews are held only on Mondays

Thank you very much for the response. 

I'm a bit relieved! thank you! I'm wondering how long until they deliver the letter? 

Again, thank you!
