    Marriage and Patronymic

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Hello

    I am not sure what section to post in.

    The question is this. My fiance will be here soon and I filled out all paperwork using her Patronymic name as middle name. Now I have to pre-register for the marriage license and wonder if I should use Patronymic name or skip it as she would like to drop it. Will that create a problem for filling other forms or not? as they have her Patronymic name.

    Thanks.

    With this you can convert names and street names too. This is used for any visa application. I hope some members will add other languages as well. I believe this information is very important for form ds-160

    PDF forms with not enough space

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Well all I did is edit the space where you type. I find most forms funny. The form that does not take date was g-325a.

    So I stretch the date box to be bigger. You can download any form and find something that will not fit. Why not stretch to fit 1 single letter? It is only the fill in box....

    Note you can not change font size on forms due that they are locked out.

    PS: It is not editing forms but editing of where boxes are for typing so it is safe. I am not good with handwriting so I better type it.

    Hello

    When I file my K-1 There was couple forms that would not take date. It cut out some digits. Some times the box was smaller then it should be.

    So when I was preparing papers for my fiancee. The one for interview. I used software to unlock pdf and then use pdf editor software to adjust boxes.

    If you have same problem and would like to fit some info in form just google for software that unlock pdf and the one that can edit.

    Should we call NVC?

    It might take 3 weeks for NVC to receive it. Call like Tuesday to see if they have it. My notice from NVC arrive super late. I already got number and tracked case to the consulate. There no harm by calling. Actually that what your lawyer should do. If they did not receive notice in 3-4 weeks then it possible to take some actions.

    Last tidbits before sending I-129F Package

    "4) Just put down where you live last 5 years that ask on the form itself. So you will have to list that you live in Spain for a year. On form you can not say 2 days ago to present. Just put month and a year when you return to your home (like 08/2012)"

    Yeah but what I mean is, over the last 5 years I've lived in only one house, with the exception of my year here in Spain. When I send off the I-129F, I'll have been back in my house for all of maybe 2 days....So, do I put,

    "123 Easy St. 08/12- Present"

    "5 Spain Ave. 07/11-07/12"

    "123 Easy St. 12/83-07/11" ?

    It look OK except look odd from 07 then 08 but on other hand it is understandable due that you fly out on last month and last day of that month. Did you left Spain on 7th month or it was 8th month? If it was 8th month I would put 07/11 - 08/12 but then again I think it should be OK as is.

    1) To make it easier just follow examples from "Example Forms" Most answers are none like for kids, suppose. I think it is not really big deal if you put N/A instead of none. In I-129F instruction says. If the answer is none write "None". So if you think what would answer better? "How many kids do you have?" will you answer "Not available" or "None"

    2) You applying for fiancé K1 visa. I think sending photos and other evidence that you live there is enough. The receipts from credit card would go toward proving that you meet in face to face. (If you plan to apply CR1 visa then you would need send more stuff) Send copies and keep original for interview if they will ask.

    3) Just to be safe send copy of passport with all pages and send copy of birth certificate. If USCIS did not like the birth certificate they will accept the copy of the passport and visa versa.

    4) Just put down where you live last 5 years that ask on the form itself. So you will have to list that you live in Spain for a year. On form you can not say 2 days ago to present. Just put month and a year when you return to your home (like 08/2012)

    5) If you was a student you just say Unemployed. It will not hurt but just look little bit ahead that once you apply later you will need send a I-134 where you will need send some information how much you make. If there not enough money you will need fine a sponsor as well.

    Jumping ahead. AOS need medical again?

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted

    I just read about AOS tips for K1. Here is the quote:

    If you are a K-1, K-2, K-3 or K-4 visa holder the I-693 instructions state that you are not required to have another medical examination as long as your Form I-485 is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination. Regardless of if you are exempt from a medical exam, you are still required to complete certain portions of the I-693 and have a Civil Surgeon certify the form (and seal it in an evelope). Specifically, you will complete Part 1 (Information about you) of the I-693 and provide both the form and your DS-3025 (if you have it, proving your vaccination history) and any proof of required vaccinations that were completed prior to entering the US. If you do not have a copy of your DS-3025 you will need to provide sufficient evidence of your vaccination history to the Civil Surgeon (talk to the civil surgeon's office to discuss what vaccination records they accept as proof). If you do not have proof of your vaccination history the Civil Surgeon may insist on re-administering all the required vaccinations prior to completing the I-693. Once the Civil Surgeon has has verified that all required vaccinations have been performed, they will complete form I-693 Part 2 (the vaccination section) and Part 5 (the Civil Surgeon's Certification). They will then seal the form in an envelope and return it to you.

    That mean she need take medical again? So we will pay double for medial. One at fiancee country and one in USA.

    Can some one confirm or suggest what to do? Did I misunderstood something?

    Is there a downside to expedite request?

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    yes for me :bonk: :bonk: :rofl::crying:

    i requested twice to expedite my I-129F with the same reason. but they both deny it :crying: now seems that they giving me hardtime..now i have rfe. i send the doc they requested last wk and still waiting for my noa2. toooooooo sad seems that people who never request for expedite had their noa2 earlier :crying:

    Look like it did not slow your process a bit. If you would not make a silly error, you would get NOA2 in less then 5 month. For CSC 5 month is normal.

    Here is quote from your time line:

    Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between July 31, 2012 and August 6, 2012* (RFEs at the California Service Center typically add an extra 27 days, which has been added to the estimated processing time).

    Tourist visa request for 3 month but stay for 1 month

    in Tourist Visas

    Posted

    Hello

    I am starting look into tourist visa for my mother in law. I estimated the wedding on November 3. When they gonna apply for visa do we state that she will stay for 3 month or we can ask visa for 3 month and she will stay about a month and go home? I would like to make it as flexible as possible. Due price of the airline tickets and possibility that wedding date might be moved later on.

    I wonder if there a list of accepted and denied visas/interview

    in Site-Related Discussion - Updates, Ideas, etc.

    If you people did not understand what i mean then I'll try say this: If you go to a doctor and doctor gonna give your few options to treat your problem. If doctor will not tell you the success rate what you gonna do?

    So in this situation statistics might help by not jumping in a lake. Let's say you go with CR1 and there is low success rate. Careful person will research more on CR1 and collect more information and proof. Like open joint bank account, rental and other stuff. It might sound silly but you will try get beyond and get even more evidence like get more pictures use CC instead of cash...etc

    All statistics here is just food for thoughts and not bullet proof answers. Do not be like most "American" people who do not wanna change and scared of changes. As Example: Selling equipment with standard and metric bolts to Europe.

    Even with small amount of information the percentage wise it will be same.

    As example Let say I would like to apply to K1 or CR1 but when you look at statistics you might consider apply for visa with highest success rate. Also knowing your chances also nice. Like apply for tourist visa you can see in what countries it might be more successful.

    All the data already here why not show it or let me rephrase why collect something that you do not use?
