Justin and Kate

Well "mimicoco" I wish you all the best with your case and hope you guys will pass through those difficulties

I dont want to bring too much drama here...BUT "Tim/Mav" why you have to put your thoughts in such a nasty way ???

Stay PRO - VJ members need help and support...I don't think you were THAT experienced from the beginning when you just start your "visajourney" for your fiance

And what I know from MY experience now being already here in USA with my husband....you gonna have a LOT of questions what to do next reg. paperwork ...I bet NONE of the VJ members will respond you the way you did here...

Anyway wish you luck with your case!

Well, I changed my SS# name easily, it took us like 2-3 weeks total. I also had my SS# card from last work and travel visa back in 2007. So we came to local office and I brought Russian passport with K1 visa, valid I-94 and Marriage Certificate. AND I didn't apply for AOS that time yet. Soapz is right, there's some software issue...that's why it took more than usual, officer said that he needs to do someyhing manualy and send some kinda request to immigration service or border patrol (sorry I don't remember exactly) The thing is that's absolutely not true that you can not change name if you don't have your EAD! WHO gave you this info? Did you go to local SS office?

Hi, everyone again. We just got married on 22nd of October and already enjoing our new life here. We are about to apply for AOS. Unfortunately I didnt find in VJ's guideline whether I need to include the evidence of relations and marriage (photos, copy of lease, copy of joint accounts,etc.) with my intire AOS package now? Or maybe I need to bring these all to the interview???

Plus regarding Affidavit of Support, should we include finantial documents (taxes,paystubs,etc.) now or should we just fill I864 and bring docs only on the interview date.

Sorry for being annoying, I do remember many ppl had same questions

So please if you already went through this process I will appretiate your help!

Thank you in advance !!!

Hey, dear VJ's members!!!! Thank you SO SO much for being so into my post! Your comments helped me a lot....I gethered all infor you posted and after thinking for a while with my future husband we decided no to take this risk. He's so affraud to lose me !!! SO we doing Florida this time and will take cruise to USVI for our 1 year anniversary ! Sounds not bad, huh? thank you everybody one more time!!! I dont know what to do without you all guys

Yes, we did K1. And we'll be married already by the time we'll fly to Virgin Islands...we can take copy of our marriage lisence. I just want to be sure that my K1 visa is enough to go TO islands and BACK to MAINLAND without any problems for my further ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS. Cuz we are going to start AOS right after we get back from honeymoon. So it's for sure that flight from mainland to island IS DOMESTIC!!!

We (fiancees) all were told not to leave US after get here. Soon we'll get married and we are planning our honey moon. Are Virgin Islands OK? Is it still US and I won't be deported once we get there and will have NO problem with coming back to Chicago? Well we know that it's part of US but what if they do a new port of entry for me on the way back...bcuz I visited islands!!!

Thank you in advance dear VJ's members )))

Cheer Up ! Ive been to same situation while having interview at US Embassy in Moscow. I was the only girl who got the slip for denial, so to say, out of other 20 girls being interviewed that day. I think you can imagine my feelings. I was down and out...we thought this is the end bcuz we had no will no power to be apart. Officer asked to mail some more finantial papers...we did...and they didnt like them. They asked for something different...we sent them again...SO we were asked to send informtion 3 times...and they made us keep waiting and waiting without saying if my visa is going to be approved or not. And the papers which they requested were NOT even in the list of requered documenets ... we were IN shock. Officer said: YES,I know it's not requested BUT we want to look at this and this and this.

After 3 weeks of unbearable waiting I got my visa with DHL guy! SO You didnt get a denial you just need to work on this process a LIL more! Please dont give up.

I'm here now with my future husband in Chicago in our nice house, we are preparing for wedding...omg..I'm so happy..I'm like in haven when next to him. Dont give up, give your fiancee a chance to feel the same feeling forever.

Good Luck!

THANKS EVERYBODY

TODAY I received my VISA!!! thank you ALL VJ's Members....you ALL were SO helpful !!! Im flying to my LOVE in couple days.

One more time thank you to everybody.

Is there anybody who serving in US Army and applied for K1? What supporting financial paper for I-134 did you provide?Please!!!!

yes we have this money and even more. He's early income is 3 times over the poverty line BUT those silly offices in embassy do not count most of his income somehow.

yes this is what we coming to ((((

im affraid his month salary won't cover poverty line without benefits..and CO will not point out his benefits in this paper right?

Letter from his CO on official military letterhead stating his name, rank (title) and yearly salary.

he is not on active duty....

Hi everybody! PLEASE I NEED your help. We are at last step. I passed interview but the oficcer asked my fiance to send him more finantial documents. My fiance is in Military. Now he is not on active duty, he doesnt work as i understand he is in active reserve. but 2010 he almost spent in Iraqi. So he sent tons of bank statements and W2 and 1040 for year 2010. But it not enough for them. Now we got this kind of request:

" We need current statement that clearly states his salary and benefit amounts. The Petitioner does not need to send us his whole MMPA printout, just an official statement of his yearly salary and regular cash payment benefits."

Can somebody ... who really knows how it should look like please advise!!! We got fight with my fiance bcuz of this...we cant understand what exactly they want to see and who can give that official statement...maybe it's pay stubs or idk / cryyyyyyyy

thank you all

Well July 29 is coming around early. She has no right to stay in your house because you're not married (if you were married you couldn't just kick her out). There is no legal responsibility to her, just moral.

If I were you I would call the police to have her removed. While in the presence of police I would give her the tickets, advise her of the date, pay for a hotel/motel while waiting for the flight and then if she doesn't catch it, you have proof you tried to do the right thing.

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

this comment doesn't sound humanely ... "just kick her out".... she is a woman with 2 kidds who left her country and everything to be with a man....well....who maybe even doesn't worth her love....

Hello all,

Could you please tell me what do I need to do in order to invite to US a good friend from Romania?

Is it a standard type letter? Or an affidavit support letter? What documents do I need to send to my friend in order to have him in US as a tourist?

Much appreciated,

V

Yep, it will be tourist visa BUT with invitation it's called home stay tourist visa if I'm not mistaken. He's an example of invitation to Russian Embassy I think you can use it but put their your dates names etc.

To American Embassy in ...(city)...., ...(country)

Address of Embassy

Date

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to invite my friend <Name> to visit me, <Name>, for a period of <...> in <city,state>, USA.

I GUARANTEE ALL FINANCIAL AND IF NEEDED MEDICAL SUPPORT FOR <him/her> DURING THEIR STAY IN US.

I ALSO GUARANTEE THAT <him/her> WILL RETURN TO THEIR HOME COUTRY WHERE THEY HAVE A FAMILY AND A JOB.

I reside in United States since <....>. I am employed as <position> in <Your company>., <City , State> with yearly income of <amount>.

Sincerely,

Documents enclosed:

1.Copies of last paychecks

2.A copy of my passport first page

4.A letter from President of <Company Name>. stating that I am currently employed by <Company Name>.

It takes 3-4 weeks, better to say 1 month. Previous comment sounds scary by the way it's not that horrible, just call them as I did. Normal people are working at that department

I'm currently living in Moscow, but my home town is a different one. So they made for me certificate for all cities I've ever lived.

I hope that it can help you. Please, you need to talk in Russian with them.

Kate

Does she has any relatives back in Russia? Which cities did she live while there? I think she can send power of attorney for making someone apply with request of getting certificate to Russian main Moscow MVD department or local police deptmts at her home town. I can give you phone numbers tomorrow of moscow ones,when get to office....

Kate

Holly molly!!! You made a "BOOM" by your story here!!! I'm sorry but you are so wrong! The problem is as it was mentioned before...K1 is not a TRY! K1 is "ticket" for those who can't live and breathe without each other...you must understand that. She is grown up women and she totally understood that she is going to leave her country , family and friends...so don't make exuses for this. I'm 25 (I'm Russian beneficiary)...I have amazing life in Russia, supper carrier, I make good money and have great family..and so and so BUT I CAN"T imagine MY life without my Justin anymore! Please, don't wait any changes...im sorry I think it won't work out even if marry her. I put on that she was looking for better life for her and her kid by leaving to USA and having her "American dream" to come true...I bet that ALL VJ members know what is the TRUE LOVE is by waiting months for their beloved...omg there's so wrong situation in your case.

Just feel sorry for all 3 of you...

Wish you luck...AND you are NOT ready to have international relationship it's a lot of "work"...better for you to have american girl I think

CONGRATS!!!!!

AMAZING news for you !!!!! CONGRATS!!!

Hi everyone!!!! I extremly need to share good news!!!! I just got a call from US Embassy saying me that I have my interview date on 15th of August....it's just one month left!!!!!! The officer told me not to wait for envelope from NVC as post offices in Russia are horrible at work and probably I won't receive it before my interview date...so she told me to go to web site and check the list of docs I need to bring and call them if I have any questions...she was very nice.

I was SO impatient I wrote to NVC couple days ago asking the date when my case was sent to Russia...and was hoping to get answer today....but INSTEAD of it I got a CALL from Embassy with good news!!!!! They were calling me 100 times yesterday but I couldn't pick up as I was passing medicals at the hospital for our visa...luckily they called me back today!

Thank you everybody for help....YOU ALL have know idea how ypou helped me!!! Now I know it's so important to stay calm and be happy with what you have!!!!

I wish luck to all who waits for their beloved! I really hope that my interview will be smoothy and easy!!! God bless me please!!!

WOOHOO! Congrats!!!!!!!!!
