    What to do next after getting K1 visa?

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

    Posted

    Visajourney has been a lot helpful in our "visa journey" with K1. I had my interview last tuesday (July 17) and received the pink form and I believe it is Approved :-). Now I wonder what to do next as soon as I arrived in US Port-of-Entry? The Visajourney guide says:

    1. APPLY FOR SSN

    2. APPLY FOR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE

    3. GET MARRIED

    4. CHANGE NAME ON SSN

    .

    .

    .

    CAN I APPLY FOR SSN AFTER THE WEDDING INSTEAD OF GOING BACK TO SSA OFFICE AND CHANGE MY LASTNAME????

    Interview scheduled: July 17, 2012 at 8am

    Arrived in USEM AD: 6:55am

    Got inside the Embassy: I think past 8am

    The security guard gave me priority #010. My number flashed in counter 10, honestly the lady in that counter was not so nice. She asked me to give her the FORMS and I asked "is it only the FORMS ma'am or also the supporting documents" and she said "EVERYTHING". So I gave her the forms and all other documents including chat logs, wedding dress receipt, ring receipt etc. and she's like "what are these?..." while she was reviewing the form I asked her if she needs our photos and she just raised her eyebrow! Then she gave me back most of my documents, only the ff were taken:

    -ALL 4 DS FORMS

    -BIRTH CERTIFICATE, CENOMAR, NBI CLEARANCE, POLICE CLEARANCE (ALL ORIGINALS)

    -FORM I-134 AND FORM 1040 2011

    -PAYMENT RECEIPT FROM NBAD

    -MEDICAL RESULT (ONLY THE SMALL ENVELOPE, NO XRAY FILM)

    FF QUESTIONS ASKED:

    -WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR FIANCE?

    -WHAT DO U DO (WORK)?- (there was a long discussion coz I resigned already)

    THEN SHE GAVE ME A BLUE SMALL PAPER AND ASKED TO PAY AT THE COUNTER AND WENT FOR FINGER PRINTING. I DID AS INSTRUCTED THANKS GOD THE CASHIER/THE LADY IN THE FINGER PRINTING SECTION IS REALLY NICE.

    MY NUMBER AGAIN FLASHED FOR FINAL INTERVIEW (she is nice too). THE FF QUESTIONS ASKED:

    -TELL ME HOW U MET UR FIANCE?

    -WHEN WAS THE FIRST TIME WE MET?

    -WHO IS THIS GUY IN THE PICTURE? (that was his dad)

    -HOW LONG HAVE U BEEN IN UAE?

    THEN SHE GAVE ME A PINK SLIP AND TOLD ME "YOUR CASE WILL TAKE 1 WEEK, COME BACK ON TUESDAY (JULY 24TH) AT 12PM"

    I ASKED HER IF IT IS APPROVED OR REFUSED AND SHE SAID "REFU... APPROVED"

    I REALLY HOPE AND PRAY IT IS APPROVED.

    One thing that bothers me is the girl before me. The interviewer gave her a small pink slip after her interview, then she came back interrupted my interview. I didnt understand what they were discussing coz they were speaking Farsi then the interviewer gave her a letter written in a BLUE SHEET A4 SIZE.

    AFTER ISSUING THE PINK SLIP SHE GAVE HER ANOTHER BLUE SLIP. I WONDER WHAT IT SUPPOSED TO MEAN AND I REALLY CAN'T GET OVER IT LOL.

    Hi Vjers,

    I am sorting out all the docs for my K1 interview nearly 3weeks from now. And I actually just got my document package from my fiance, and found that he instead of "a letter from the bank stating when the account opened and remaining balance" he SENT "a bank statement with all the records of his deposits and withdrawals"...will this be a problem during my interview?

    PLEASE HELP ANYONE?

    Alhamdullilah! K1 visa Approved!!!

    Hi all,

    I am happy to inform u all that my K1 visa was approved today. my advise to you all is not to be discouraged by the negative responces that you might get from the members. i was informed by many that my chances of getting approved is nil and some even wished that i get denied. Alhamdullilah by the grace of Allah i was granted the visa without any problem.

    Goodluck to you all

    Love, Samara

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!! GLAD TO KNOW SOMEBODY HAS JUST BEEN APPROVED IN AD USEM. I MYSELF IS STILL WAITING FOR MY INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT... PLEASE SHOW ME UR TIMELINE IT WILL BE USEFUL FOR ME ;-)

    Interview appointment

    in Middle East and North Africa

    Posted

    I sent an email to NVC last Thursday requesting to transfer our case to MNL USEM, called them the same day and made a follow up almost everyday to make sure they will do as I requested. Today I received an email from NVC stating "The NVC completed its processing of this visa petition, and forwarded it to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in ABU DHABI UNITED ARAB EMIRATES." Man that time when I called all those NVC representatives told me they haven't forwarded my case yet. Just really disappointed.:/ Well, since it has been forwarded in AD I might just attend my interview here. Now, my concern is how do I get appointment letter for my interview? What notice should I expect from NVC and from USEM Abu Dhabi? Anybody please

    K4 visa for 6 yr old daughter

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    Hi Vjers,

    I hope anybody could help me here. My sister is married with American and she is now in the US (under K3 visa). She has a 6 year old daughter in Phils and filed a petition for her (K4) and still on process. Now my question 1. "is there any interview for my 6 yr old niece?" sounds non-sense but that's what they said lol. 2. how about the medical? 3. does her parents needs to come down to get her or could it be somebody?

    Forward Case to Another Embassy

    You will get eventually mail from the NVC that your case is forwarded to the embassy. It might take about 2-4 weeks for NVC to do that. Most likely they haven't even got your case from USCIS.

    As far as transferring the case, you are out of luck. You will have to interview in Abu Dhabi, they will not transfer the case because you are not a resident of Philipines.

    Good luck and just hang there the longest wait is over.

    I think they will coz I am a Filipino just working here in UAE... I just don't know how long will it take...

    HELP!!!!

    1. Last March 30,2012 when our 129F petition has been approved we received the NOA2 hard copy but still no email from USCIS that our petition has been approved... No Notice from NVC that our case has been forwarded to Abu Dhabi US Embassy where I will have my interview. Is this something to worry about?

    2. According to US Embassy in Abu Dhabi reviews Approx Waiting Time for interview date from when the Consulate receives the package from the NVC is 2 MONTHS...

    WHILE IN PHILIPPINES IS ONLY 10 DAYS!!! I CONSIDER ASKING THE NVC TO FORWARD OUR CASE TO MANILA EMBASSY COZ HERE SEEMS TAKING FOREVER... BUT I AM NOT SURE IF IT WILL BE ADDITIONAL HASSLE FOR US AND WILL IT TAKE LONGER????

    HELP PLEASE!!!!
