Thank you guys so much. Oh Can my fiancee fill out the DS 260 form before I pay or does she have to wait.

You can fill it out before paying or scheduling any appointment.

I read about ASC this morning and now I'm with a doubt! It said that we need to have an ASC appointment before our interview appointment at the consulate. If I need to get one, where and when do I get an appointment? and what paperwork do I need for it? Thanks in advace!

When you are ready to schedule the interview online, you will have to schedule your ASC appointment as well just before the interview. For ASC you need to bring the invitation letter, DS260 confirmation and passport. Good luck!

Hello I received a letter from Cuidad Juarez telling me I'm ready to schedule my finances appoinmemt. It only gave a website. I tired scheduling the appointment but it ask for my ds260 form number ,which I tried filling out but it asked for a invoice number, where can I get that number or what do I need to do?

Thank you

You need to call NVC to request your invoice number and the consulate number (I can't remember exactly how its called) but total you need to get 2 different numbers from NVC. After you get them then you can fill out the DS260 online, schedule appointment and everything.

Ten years visa? or its a typo?

Yeah they are valid for 10 years but that does not mean you can actually stay 10 years in a row in the US.

You WERE the petitioner when you applied for the k1. You already did your part and right now you are not petitioning for anything, your spouse is applying himself to adjust his status based on the marriage with you of course (and with your support as I imagine you signed the affidavit) so it's pretty much HIS case. Have him call or you both can call together to get some info in your case. Good luck!

Her visa was issued in February 2010 and it expired in February 2012.

It was issued in Feb 2002 and expired February 2012

YOU need to schedule the appointment at your convenience, The consulate in Juarez does not schedule it for you.

I would think having had a previous tourist visa would have helped but I guess it did not matter. Did they ever overstay it or had any problems in the US?

As long as they have a stable job I don't think they need to have a whole lot of money in the bank to be able to get a visa but of course having $$ definitely helps as it means you can afford your travel and expenses more easily, other main things they specially want to see are ties to your country, i.e. a good stable job, pay stubs, bank statements, real state property, family. They just want to KNOW that you will go back to your country when your trip is finalized. If they don't have strong ties to Mexico and specially having you in the states it's not gonna help very much as they might think they want to immigrate. Are your parents still working? Do they own a house?

I personally have a friend who probably did not even have 1000 dlls in the bank and she got the visa because she had ties to Mexico: school, family and a job, simple.

Good luck!

You will be looking for a tourist visa if you only want them to come here for a visit.

Where are you from? What was the reason for denial? How long ago?..... More info to be able to help you.

The appointment letter willcome after your petition cleas NVC and the embassy reviews your petition and schedules your appointment for the interview for the visa

Partly true, as the previous post said you will get the Invitation letter (or appointment letter if u wanna call it that way) after your petition is forwarded from NVC to the Consulate in Juarez, the consulate will issue and mail that letter to both petitioner and beneficiary. If your petition is in Juarez already it might take a couple weeks for you to get the letter. After you get it you have to schedule the interview yourself in the indicated website. You can actually schedule it before you get the letter too but you will need to bring the letter to the interview so you might as well wait for it, they usually have availability within the next couple weeks so the wait to go interview is not too long.

Note that most of the invitation letters never arrive to the beneficiary in Mexico but do get to the petitioner in the US, If that's the case you can scan it and email it to your fiance in Mx and that should be good. Good luck!

Packet 3 is a letter from the Consulate in Juarez, not NVC. When you do get it you can just scan it and email it to her and that should be enough.

Honestly if I were you I would run, run away as fast as possible. It might be really hard to accept it right now but you will be glad you did in the future. I am sure you deserve a better man. Good luck!

I remember how I wanted my case to get transfered to CSC and did not happen. Of course now I am glad I did have an interview haha. Good luck for those of you still waiting, hopefully will get your approvals soon!!!!

so at anytime during the process, i could get this letter. just wondering as i am trying to guessamate when i am safe and everything i sent was in order.

That's what everyone thinks! Although sometimes it can be cause USCIS lost something you already sent.

No need to fill out that part, that section is in case you don't meet the minimun income required, then you can list your assets to kind of compensate. Since you are above, you don't need to fill it out.

it's really none of their business, I don't see why they would ask that. Don't worry about it!

You can go to school whenever you want, it just depends on how much you are willing to pay for it.

In CO you need your Green card to be able to go to school, unless you wanna pay like an International student but their fees are outrageous (about 3-4x more). After getting your GC, you need to have lived in Colorado for at least 1 year to be able to qualify for in-state tuition, which is the cheapest you can get; if you don't qualify for it you have to pay out-of state and it's about 2x more.

domestica employee?? like a housekeeper??

You can't bring people to the US just because. She would have to be an immediate relative of your husband (as the USC) otherwise there's no way she can immigrate to the US as there's no visas for domestic employees and a work visa will be impossible for her to get, You can easily find someone else here.

I take it you are still in the US overstaying your visa?. Well... what you have been doing is illegal. It is illegal to enter the US with intentions to marry AND it is illegal to enter the US on a tourist visa with intention to stay here.

Also, I don't really understand why you applied for I-130. Are you going back to Juarez for the interview??

After you got married in Dec 2010 You should have applied for both I-130 AND AOS (that if u had NO intentions to marry when entering the US). Hopefully you won't have any problems AOSing. Good luck!

hopefully that will work! good luck! keep us posted!

You are not allowed to work until you get your EAD or GC, whatever comes first.

You could not have gotten them at the medical, so don't beat yourself up about that one. Juarez will not do transcriptions to the DS-3025 or give any vaccinations for a K-1, even if you ask them and offer to pay extra as my husband did. He ended up with a useless, blank DS-3025.

You can get them in Mexico, and if he has vaccination records from his childhood, have him bring those too. He needs the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) and the Tdap(tetanus diphtheria and pertussis), or the TD(tetanus and diphtheria) booster, which also works for the AOS requirement. He will also need the varicella, but if your fiance already had chickenpox, he does not need that one. It is not flu season any longer, so there is nothing you need right now because of the time of year it is. Look up the names of the vaccines in Spanish, and ask the hospital for them in their Spanish names. They will know what they are that way. Get the record of getting them. Have that record translated to English, and take it with you when you see a civil surgeon in the US to transcribe his vaccines to the I-693. The civil surgeon can let you know if he missing any others, but if gets the MMR, and Tdap/TD plus varicella or history of chickenpox, then he probably will not need anything else. You do not have to get them through the civil surgeon and pay more. You can go get them at your own doctor through insurance, if he is added to yours already, or the local health department for cheaper. You can then take those records back to the civil surgeon to have them transcribed onto the I-693 as well and have the civil surgeon finish the form and sign off on it.

My husband got the MMR and TD booster in Mexico, and brought the vaccine record for those plus the records from his childhood (the hospital there might be able to give your fiance a record of his childhood vaccines too, if he had any) with him to the US. He did not need the varicella because he had the chickenpox as a child. He only ended up getting the flu shot at the civil surgeon because it was flu season at the time.

You will most likely have to call around a bit to find a civil surgeon that will not insist on a new medical or paying for one anyway. It is quite frustrating, as the rules for a K-1 seem to confuse too many civil surgeons, or they know the rules and still want to charge you because they can. Good luck!

I did the exact same thing, brought my vaccination records from when I was a child and I got the rest of the vaccines I was missing in Mexico. I got them transcribed by the CS with no problems at all and without paying a fortune for it.

He can go to the 'IMSS' or 'ISSSTE' in Mexico and ask for the vaccines, and they usually give you a vaccination record for you to keep. Good luck!

OP, did u figure it out?

She doesn't. The k1 is enough. Good luck!

Once the immigration visa is used to enter the US, it serves as a temporary green card (I-551) for one year. She can immediately travel internationally and return to the US.

This is incorrect

Oopsie! Sorry I misread the 'spousal visa' part.
