US Immigration from Finland

Hello,

I am the beneficiary of a K1 visa, and my NVC status currently says in transit to the embassy in Helsinki. I have already completed my DS-160 form and am about to book my medical appointment. I am also in the process of gathering my criminal records. I have a few questions:

1. Petitioner s Paystubs: Does my petitioner s paystubs need to reflect a salary that is close to the interview date?
2. Visa Appointment: Can I book my visa appointment now? What other fees should I expect to pay moving forward with this application?
3. Required Documents: I know I need to fill out the I-134, and take my passport and photos to the interview. What other documents are required?
4. NOA1 Approval: My fianc does not have a second copy of the I-129F filed, and her NOA1 approval only came via text message, not by mail. Is it possible for me to scan the text message?
5. K-FTP Letter: Do I need to present my K-FTP letter at the appointment? What other documents or items will I need to bring?
6. Income Standard: What is the standard for showing income?

Thank you for your assistance!

Feel free to adjust any details if necessary.

Hi,

Few days ago we send our I129 form , and i put our picture evidence very simple binder. For some reason i didin't notice the guidance part to not use binder.

So what's gonna happen our application? Im extremely worried that we need to start everything all over again, and it will delay our application a lot. Anyone has any advice on this? Thank you in advantage!

Hey everyone, I m a Nigerian guy (30) currently living in Finland, and my fiancee is a US citizen (27). We crossed paths at the Italy airport back in August 2023 during layovers, and the connection was instant. She admired my dedication and ambition, plus the fact that her father is Nigerian made it even more special to her. Since that day, we ve been talking non-stop, falling deeper in love with each passing day.

I proposed when she visited me in November 2023, and it was a beautiful moment.

She filed for the K-1 visa in December 2023. Now, I m wondering if the relatively short duration of our relationship before getting engaged could affect our visa process. Also, does anyone know how long it typically takes to get the K-1 visa approved? By the way, we recently had an amazing trip to Paris together this month!

Thank you.

We are in our AOS process right now.

Is it possible for the immigrant (greencard application) to sign up for a credit card?

What are the processes? Does she need to establish credit and sign up for creditkarma or something first? Because she has no credit history in the US.

I just found out after 1,5 years of staying in the US that I was suppose get the social security figured out or that there was an opportunity to get one once entering the US ha wow . Just wondering who is responsible for informong aliens about this . So unacceptable I thought the only way to get it was through green card and now I'm struggling with the evidence since I'm not able to even get a joint bank account here . Wow just wow can't believe it
