Hello everyone,

I am new to this site and had a question for all of you who have already gone through the k1 process. How much does it cost to process the k1 fiance visa from start to finish? I am a bit confused because I have looked up info. and they all say different things. For example, the form DS-156, is this paid for in fiance's country or while in the US?

I just wanted to know if anyone could give an estimate of how much they spent to file all the paperwork.

Thanks

Endless, lol

Hi, for anyone who's attending a medical in London, I went on Tuesday and thought some of you may be interested to know that a taxi from kings cross station to 4 Bentink Mansions (the map B doctors) is only £10 each way

Yes - definitely.

Excellent. Just to be sure, i do not need to send a copy of the MRV receipt with my packet 3, is this correct?

Thank you again,,,,and i see your wedding date is the day after when we are hoping to have ours

Hi, We have paid the MRV fee and booked my Medical for the 5th July, is it now okay for me to return my Packet 3 (readiness for interview) documents to London Embassy!?

Thank you

Hi, when returning my packet 3 (letter of readiness) to London, do I need to include a signed photocopy of my MRV receipt?

Thank you all.

Thanks, I just had a look on the dx website and it says "SMS Accepts the following Credit and Debit Cards

Visa, Mastercard, Solo, Switch, Electron, Delta". So I'm guessing it's okay. PHEW!!

Hi, with regard to London Embassy can I pay the DX Delivery of my passport/visa with a Visa Electron card?

For london, the visa is paid for over the phone.

For the OP, you will need your benificiaries passport number when calling. The benificiary will also have to pay for the visa on interview day, and this can only be done by means of a credit or debit card now.

Oh, I didnt realise i (beneficiary) could call up using his credit card . And yes, the Visa Delivery payment is going to be another problem im facing as I dont own a debit or credit card....any suggestions on that front?

Thank you so much

Hi with regard to London Embassy, do I need the original Receipt of Payment for the Visa or can it be a copy, as long as it's signed? As it will be the Petitioner who is paying so it would have to be mailed to me....

Thankyou

Well...

If you're willing to sign the statement

I attest that I have all of the documents specified in the Instructions for Visa Applicants and other instructions,

which are applicable in my case, and I am prepared for immigrant visa interview.

on a Department of State form when you don't actually have all the documents, then sure you can send it.

gotcha lol getting ahead of myself again. Thanks

Sorry, what I mean is,,,,im mailing off for my police certificate on wednesday which will take around 2 weeks,,,,should i mail my embassy packet off around the same time?

Hi, with regard to London Embassy, is it a good idea to mail my "documents for readiness" to the Embassy a few days prior to my medical appointment day?

regards

Oh!! also, should the Petitioner be receiving written confirmation of our new case number?

Thanks again.

Hi Jan Filers, Im busy getting my things ready for packet 3, does anyone know how many copies of the Police Certificate/Record I will need (London Embassy)?

Thank you all.

Why do I feel everyone snickering?... (j/k)

As far as the fees, etc... notsomuch...

(FWIW - the process itself may have costs not associated with the forms, medicals etc that might be tax deductible for certain individuals - things like business travel and the like - but for most of us, the answer is still 'no.' Even so - your fiance should check with his/her tax professional/accountant first.)

okay lol

My fiance was just wondering if he will be able to claim any of the costs of the k1 visa process on his Tax Return?

Thanks

Hi, when i leave for the US I dont have alot of personal effects (namely clothes, paperwork and CD's), to ship so it would maybe make more sense to take them with my on my flight.

So my question is, can i take my 1 suitcase (allowed luggage), aswell as a large holdall/2nd suitcase and if so, is there a certain weight it has to be under?

Any Advice?

Thanks

You take it to the medical just to show it. It's to make sure that you do in fact get it in time for the interview, as that was something a lot of people turned up at interviews without in the past...

Thank you

Hi,

Do I need to pay for 2 Police Certificates (1 for medical and 1 to take to London Embassy interview) or can I photocopy the original?

Thanks

Not required for London. Two proofs is enough for them. 2010 taxes and pay stubs should do it nicely.

Excellent. Thank you so much.

If he was doing the same work in the past, then tax returns will help show that it is a constant source of income. Letters from both employers, stating his pay and the frequency of his work. Pay stubs or other proof of income, ideally something that shows his year to date income.

If he is going to provide:

• Tax Transcripts
  
• Pay Stubs
  
• Bank Statements
  

would employment letters still be required?

Hi, we're are unsure Regarding proof of income (I-134) for K-1 interview in London.

Here is our issue:

The Petitioner is employed at 2 companies but works "freelance" with both, what would be the best things to provide as evidence/proof, specifically with regard to some sort of letter from either himself or the company?

Sorry if this seems a silly question but it is all rather confusing.

Thank you in advance

Takes the nvc about a week to put ur petition into there system so give them a call then and they can give you your new case number. Congrats

Thank you all & Best Wishes

***** Moving from General Immigration to K1 and removing duplicate *****

We put the date of our NOA1 hardcopy...

Whilst you have your LND number, do make sure your case is actually LOGGED in the system before your medical

Where do you call to check that the case is logged at london?

thank you
