*Gi*

Probably got a good shot, especially with positive past military (thank you for service!!), job offer in hand, potentially job offer for both, and as well the good standing of your close family sponsor.

Thank you very much for your answer make me feel a lot better now! Cheers!&good night.

Time for me to go to bed...I hate Monday!!!! lol

It's never too late. Also, some consulates will accept the co-sponsor for the 864 more often than the 134, if needed.

I hope the consulate in BKK will accept the co-sponsor.

Well, he is having a TR visa so if we get married we probably have to wait for another five-six months since he just had a visa run a month ago.

It is true that in most cases they will not accept co sponsors. However they did in 3 cases I know of. I know this because I helped write letters for them to submit explaining how they would be supported in the future. Those cases were approved and they are here in the USA. Those were all K 1s with student fiances.

Your fiance can show a history of working in the past. He can submit a letter indicating he is a student on the G I bill. He could tell them his plans for finishing his studies and going to work including a timeline. He could explain how he now recieves some support from his parents until he finishes school if thats what he does. He could explain what support you both will require from his parents including the initial burden of living expenses for you both. The important thing is to lay out a plan for how all of this will be done to offset the idea of you becoming a burden. Doing all of this is far beyond the usual. His parents would submit a 134 or a 864 along whith his 134. Nothing is certian in doing this but its the only chance you have.

He must be careful if he indicates he has a job with is mothers firm. If that isnt true it would spell disaster. If it is true he will need to submit his pay history and tax info to prove it. He would add that to the tax transcripts he should submit with the 134. His mother would add her tax transcripts to her support docs.

You could write a letter indicating the possiblity of transfering to Nestle but make sure you explain you know this wont be possible until you can legally do so. That wouldnt be until you had an EAD or green card. You wont have those until you submit the AOS. This usually takes 6 to 9 months.

Thank you very much...it seems to me that you are the only one who understand my question and situation.

I'm sure you already know the consulates review these message boards? Now that you have posted your timeline and photo...

By the way, why not get married in Bangkok, and in 6 months file the DCF?

To answer your question, we first thought the K1 is quicker and find out later that DCF quicker but it needs more documents and process here in Thailand.

Anyway, it's too late now I already submitted I-129F last month.

I'm sure you already know the consulates review these message boards? Now that you have posted your timeline and photo...

LOL. Well, I made myself clear in the above statements.

Wow, your quick response to your fiancé's posting and the tone of your voice makes it pretty clear that you DO intend to lie and fake an employment that doesn't exist.

Hey, good luck with that!

And WE'RE the uninformed ones? Gee, thanks boss. Yes, why don't you move along since you clearly know everything, and us ignorant rednecks will just sit around drinking moonshine...

My Fiancée lives with me here in Bangkok that's why he replied so quick but there is a misunderstood here.

The point is we are not going to lie about anything. I probably did not make myself clear enough.

I mean that I will probably ask my fiancée's parents make an employment letter saying that when we move there my fiancée will be hired by them.

This is what I was trying to say but maybe you guys misunderstood my point because I did not write it clear enough...

Thanks. Hope now it's clear and there will be no ironic statements here.

You and your fiance should think long and hard before doing something foolish.

Lying in the immigration process is never a good thing. That can lead to a visa denial and ban to US entry. The idea to have the mother make up a job that does not exist is just that. Also, he will need to prove that he earned that money with a tax return and copies of his pay stubs.

The US citizen petitioner completes an I-134 no matter the income. Have one of the parents complete an I-134 as a joint sponsor. From what you are saying, the father will be a better choice as a joint sponsor.

-(this is the petitioner speaking)- I told my Fiancé not to post on these forums because most people on here are much less informed than we are. We already know the answers to these questions but my fiancé likes to be thorough with everything ;0. Anyhow, we will not be lying about anything in our paperwork as I will be getting a letter of employment from from parent's business as they are in need of a replacement employee since their last employee was let go. Sorry to waste your time as we do not have any questions here.

Hi there,

I heard that nowadays BKK consular rarely accepts the co-sponsor for K1 visa and that makes me worried.

My fiancée served for US Air force in Anchorage AK from 2004 - 2010 and for that he has gotten a GI Bill which means he can study anywhere in the world and the US government supports for his tuition fee and pocket money depends on which area of the world he lives.

As a consequence, he did not have a job since he keeps studying. However, his mother has her own business as a dog breeder in IL and that makes lot of money. His father works for US government as an Auditor.

So my question is what should I do between asking his mom to be co-sponsor or ask his mom to write a letter that he is her employee who has a salary xxxxx/year? (of course the salary he get should be above the poverty line)

I understood that the US government wants to make sure that my fiancée can support me and I won't become a US government's burden.

Actually I also plan to apply for the job with Nestle USA as I am working for Nestle (Thai) Ltd. now.

Please help advise. Thanks.

I got my NOA1 on 18th Jun so I guess I probably get NOA2 around October.

By the way, I sent my case to CSC...heard that they're moving quicker now!

It is much better to be well prepared by sending all related evidences to avoid RFE's, thus causing unnecessary delays in the process..

Yes I believe so. I hope CSC won't ask for more but if they do, I will submit more evidence.

Thank you!

Thank you for all of the answers.

Well my fiancée and I have lived together in Thailand since Jan last year.

Our baby was born in Thailand and the document of Birth certificate was issued by US consulate in BKK as well as passport and she already has her SSN.

The thing is that we thought the birth certificate would be enough as there are my name and my fiancée's name as a mother and a father of the baby.

Our baby was born this year in Feb. So I thought it proved that we have met in the last 2 years.

However, I understood now that it prolly not met the requirement of the on going relationship. For example. the two prolly have a kid together but did not stay together. So I will just wait if the CSC ask for more evidence.

Actually I prepared other evidence such as our pictures, condo rental which have his name and my name together bla bla bla.

Thank you very much everyone.

Oops..please let me correct myself.

Actually it is a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a citizen of the United States of America. So it means my baby is a US Citizen.

The process to obtain the certificate was so easy, I just had to give the following documents to the consular in BKK;

- my passport

- my baby Thai birth certificate & translated version

- my fiancée's passport

- my fiancée and I and my baby had to go to the US Embassy by making appointment with them.

Then, we had an interview with the consulate and that's it. They did not required the DNA test or anything.

They would if the child is 15 or 18 years old I cannot remember which age exactly.

So that's why I think the report of birth of US Citizen should be enough to prove that my fiancée and I have met in the past 2 years.

This is the document that the US government issued for us so if they do not believe in their own paper, it will be pretty weird.

The statement in the certificated said that;

This is to certify that:

XXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXX

Sex, Female, born at BANGKOK, THAILAND.

On February 01, 2012

Acquired United States CITIZENSHIP at birth as established by documentary evidence.

Presented to the Consular Service of the United States at

BANGKOK, THAILAND

on MARCH 21, 2012

MOTHER/FATHER/PARENTS

My fiancée's name My name

********** **********

Date of birth: xxxx xx xxxxx Date of birth: xxxx xx xxxxx

By the way, this is our baby....Her name is Aria

To qualify for the DCF the USC has to be considered a legal resident of Thailand for at least 6 months. That means he may be able to do as Karee suggested by obtaining a O type visa and waiting an additional 6 months then file the DCF.

What you see as being stubborn may be that he is simply more informed than you are. I think it would be a mistake to begin the try to qualify for the DCF at this late date. The K 1 would be faster in the end.

Oh I see. Now I understand it perfectly. Thank you.

You don't have to prove you have a relationship until the consulate interview. To get a petition approved you have to prove you've met at least once in the past two years.

How is that your daughter has a US birth certificate? Was she born in the US?

Thank you for all of the answers.

Well my fiancée and I have lived together in Thailand since Jan last year.

Our baby was born in Thailand and the document of Birth certificate was issued by US consulate in BKK as well as passport and she already has her SSN.

Thank you very much everyone.

When my fiancée submitted the I-129F he sent only a U.S. birth certificate of our daughter to prove our relationship.

Also,he submitted only his U.S. birth certificate not the passport coz what he read from the I-129F instruction it says we can send either birth certificate or passport.

- Will it be enough or you think CSC going to ask for more evidence?

Thanks.

If you get legally married in Thailand, he can apply for a non-immigrant O visa. That's what I did. It's a one year multiple entry Thai visa. I had to apply for it at the Thai embassy in Singapore. Check out this website: www.thaivisa.com

Thank you very much.

My fiancée is so stubborn that he doesn't want to change from K1 to DCF. -_0 too bad...

For me DCF is the best choice so far as it save money and time.

Guess I have to pray for CSC to approve my case soon...

Agree on the timeine.

Remember for DCF, he must be legally reside tin Thailand, not just on a tourist visa.

Until you are sure what visa to go for, stop calling him your husband, that could cause trouble at the K1 fiance interview.

lol yeah no doubt I have to call him my fiance.

By the way, some people on the usvisa4thai website claim that their husbands had Tourist visa when applying for DCF.

I am so confuse what exactly visa the husband need to have! Can you help clarify? Thanks.

There is no cancellation fee. The US citizen must withdraw the K1 petition before filing another petition.

You must be legally married before you submit the spouse visa petition to the embassy.

Thank you very much

The thing is that I am trying to convince my husband to change the visa type but he doesn't want to.

He said the K1 visa prolly takes around 3-4 months depends on cases.

However, as far as I know I think it could take to 6-8 months or longer.

Hi,

Background story

- Me and my husband decided to apply for K1 visa and right now we are waiting for NOA2. Our case was sent to CSC and the date they received it was on 18th June.

- We had a Thai Wedding Ceremony in Thailand last year in September but we have not yet legally married.

- We have 1 cute baby girl together and she already got her US birth certificated, passport and SSN.

- My husband and I have lived together in Thailand since Jan 2011.

Question

1.Is it a good idea to cancel the K1 visa to get DCF instead? I just have learned that DCF take shorter time to process if we legally married first.

2.I know that we have to pay for a DCF Fee around $420 but what about the K1 visa cancellation fee? Is there any?

3.Can anyone share DCF Timeline in Thailand?

Thank you.

p.s. this is our baby girl her name is Aria...
