I-129F February 2018 Filer

[Toastbear 149]

Hey guys,

 

since we are all waiting for our approvals or RFE's, imma just write in here and ask you guys what you think about our situation. My NOA1 was on the 14th of february (new website) and we have not received anything yet. We might get an RFE because you all probably know if you have a certain number of charges (3) etc that you need to submit a background check additionally to listing what you had. Means my fiance wrote down the stuff he had and also told them that we waited over 1 month and still havent gotten the official background document (even though they charged us lol). So we might get an RFE because the official document is missing, but he atleast wrote down everything, so i guess it depends on the officer if they are gonna send RFE. Just to clarify, nothing of this is bad in an immigration way and he didnt get convicted for 2 of them (but you still need to list it). 

 

But that doesnt matter right now. Here is my situation: I am finishing my bachelors degree right now with my bachelor thesis which is due in 2 weeks. I already live at my grandmas with my dog since the beginning of this year because it wouldnt have made sense to get a new lease for my apartment. I have been to the US 2 times this year already for 14 days each (april and august). My fiance rented a house for us and due my visit we were being able to set up the house and pick the furniture together in the past 2 weeks. You can imagine how bad it felt to go back after that. So since im a student i could stay as long as i want in the US, but i have a little dog so i can never stay for more than 14 days. 

 

Now our plan is, that I would fly back to the US with my Dog (he is an certified emotional support animal and also has an education), stay there until we get our case number and fly back to germany to do the medical, the interview and get my wedding dress. I would leave my dog with my fiance of course! 

 

Do you guys think I am gonna have problems with entering the US with my dog and staying for like 4 weeks? I mean until now i always made good experiences with the US officers and i always tell them that i visit my fiance. But with my dog i would arrive at the Washington DC dulles airport instead of the Baltimore/Washington international. So you can imagine I am already very anxious about the new airport but also about bringing my dog.

 

I usually never get asked for additonal evidence, but i usually bring my student status and that im still studying. I was also thinking about getting a document from my university that i still have to come back to presentate my bachelor thesis and would also bring a receit that i still have to get my wedding dress, which im trying on again next week to get it fitted. They usually take around 4 weeks to make all the adjustments for my dress. 

 

I know its a long text, but I just need to get other thoughts on my story because my fiance is always positive: "Hey youre coming from germany and youre young, why would they deny you entry".

If ur on a tourist visa u can stay up to 90 days before u have to return. As long as u have a return ticket u should be fine.

 

My my fiancé will be visiting in 11 days for 2 weeks. This will not b her first trip since we filed. Never have we had a concern about visiting.

 

good luck

Only 15 were approve this year according to igor's list.. what to do.. 🤐

I don’t think you’re reading it right.   There is the “Last 15 approvals,” but if you change the “unapproved petitions” field to “approved petitions” and scroll down, you can see the approvals by month.

 

I count ~65 for the first two weeks of February alone.   Keep in mind also that this reflects only VJ members, and then only the ones who have updated their timelines.

Do you need to get a passport for your dog?

no, you need to get a certificate from the vet that the dog is healthy and the dog also needs to have the rabies vaccination.

Google can be your best friend https://www.google.com/search?q=traveling+on+a+visa+with+an+dog&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-Address&ie=&oe

 

If you arrive with a dog that could be a red flag that you are not returning to your home country. So buyer beware. I'd go to the main K-1 general question section here on VJ and ask that question. I am sure they are more astute to what is going to be a red flag and also they give point you in the direction for instructions on how to transport your dog.

You don't have to be nasty about it. I was respectful in giving you some information. If it wasn't what you were looking for maybe it's best to ignore my reply and just move on. Or better yet say thank you and just move on.  I was only trying to help. To not receive your attitude again your dead to me.

Yeah you both are being fair. Just a small misunderstanding is all 🙂

 

If anything pets are more helpful than detrimental.
