US Immigration from New Zealand

Hello,

My partner will be changing his citizenship from South Africa to New Zealand in the coming months. He will no longer have his SA citizenship. We started the K-1 process having listed him as a South African. Will the change from SA to NZ citizenship affect our application? We are now at the stage in which we are assembling our documents for the NVC to prepare for the interview.

Thanks in advance for any advice/recommendations.

Hi everyone, hoping someone can clarify something for me - for NZ K1 visa applicants, is the full police record provided by the Ministry of Justice acceptable? I thought it was but then I saw this police vetting check as well and now I'm second guessing myself. I'm so exhausted by this process! Thanks in advance.

Hello,

New to this page, happy to know one exists to seek advice. We started our K-1 process of submitting the 129-F in October 2021. The case was approved by USCIS in January 2023 and sent to NVC, however for some reason it has been sent back to USCIS with the message (returned to department of state). USCIS then approved it again in March 2023. We have heard nothing. When I sent an inquiry to NVC I got a message that it was sent back again but no explanation. Has anyone experienced this? What moved the process along?

Thanks in advance!

I had my interview at the consulate this morning (in Auckland, NZ), and was feeling quite good about everything. All the other people before me were told congratulations the visa has been approved and you will receive it in about 10 days at the end of their interviews.

Mine went well/normal but at the end the lady said they had to fix something on the medical that the medical staff had missed (which was apparently minor), and also:

we have everything we need

we ll let you know if we need anything else

And that was it. And I m just super unsure about the result of the interview cos obviously I wasn t told that it was approved, or even that it would be approved after they fixed the issue. The kept my passport but didn t tell me when I d get it back.

Everyone I ve told about this said it will probably be fine but I m definitely getting paranoid and am disheartened that I have no clarity on any of it. Does anyone know what might happen?

I was approved for naturalization May 2nd and was originally told my ceremony would be May 22nd. Actual letter has pulled that back to the 18th but I was out of the country when it arrived and now need to reschedule potentially due to work commitments.

Has anyone rescheduled this close to the date? I called and they said they needed a letter listing why it is needed, but the info link they supplied has nothing on rescheduling.
