K-1 visa **need a bit of info**

[gotrice19 0]

Ok here is the deal.

I want to get a K-1 visa for my finance. I read alot and I know I have to fill out the I-129F form and (2) G-325a form to get started. So I was wondering that if i filled out the form today it should take 9 - 12 months for my finance to get a K-1 visa. (if everything goes well) So I was thinking that I fill out the form and if I could take off to the country where my finance lives and hang out there and if I could do the paperwork from there?

I just want to know how much does it cost in the end to get the K-1 visa? Is it only $170 usd?

For filing for a K-1 visa do you need to provide income status? I make more the 20,000 a year if this information is necessary.

Also can you get a K-1 visa if you have bad credit?

Last question...in the form I-129F in page 1 under line 11 where it ask you if you ever filed for this or any other alien finance before. I did about maybe 4 years ago but not a K-1 form. Never did finish the paperwork due to my pioir finance (different person) never went for the interview. Should i fill out "yes" or just leave it no.

Thanks.

Some do this if they can afford it, you probably will need a co-sponsor to show that the K-1 will be supported when entering the USA

I just want to know how much does it cost in the end to get the K-1 visa? Is it only $170 usd?

Yes initially, then there will be a fee paid to the consulate, and fee paid for medical, then airfare to get k-1 back to USA, and also fees to adjust status after marriage ($1010 by the time you will do this), and later on fees to lift conditions, and so on. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP UNDERTAKING be prepared to spend several thousands of $$$

NO, this will be needed later for the visa interview at the consulate.

Also can you get a K-1 visa if you have bad credit?

YES, USCIS and Consulates are not concerned about your credit history.

Not following this, how do you not file for a K-1 for a previous fiancee? What visa was filed for?

I don't know. I gave all paperwork to a lawyer and he filed everything for me. I think it was for a spouse visa. Something that i had to give my tax returns and showed income. Thank you for your fast response.

It won't have been a spouse visa unless you were married to her - a K1 sounds most likely, unless the lawyer had no idea what he was doing. Is there any way you can find out what it was that you filed?

I will call him today. It does sound like a K-1 that he filed. It took around 9 months and the interview. But she never went. I was wondering now 4 years past wanting to do the same thing that the previous K-1 visa might be a problem. Before i paid around 2000 for everything. Is this the quickest way? And should i continue with the Immigration attorney or should I do it myself?
