Yes, it is true. When I tried to put my case number to non-immigrant visa it says invalid. But, I read a while back on here that embassy/consulate put K-1 visa as an immigrant visa. So, if something goes wrong at least we are both on same boat, lol.
Edit:
A K-1 visa is a dual intent visa issued to the fiancé or fiancée of a United States citizen to enter the United States. A K-1 visa requires a foreigner to marry his or her U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days of entry. Once the couple marries, the foreign citizen can adjust status to become a lawful permanent resident of the United States (Green Card holder). Although a K-1 visa is legally classified as a non-immigrant visa, it usually leads to important immigration benefits and is therefore often processed by the Immigrant Visa section ofUnited States embassies and consulates worldwide. If a K-1 visa holder does not marry his or her U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days of entry, then he or she must depart the United States within 30 days.

I personally agree with your parents. You are too young to get married.
A guy in his 20s is just at the start of getting his fill of excitement. He is ruled in large part by his lower brain and hormones and needs to have fun in life before he can slow down and get married. If you deny yourself this utmost important phase of life, you eventually will want to catch up on it, which is why close to 80% of all marriages between 18 and 25 in the United States are doomed to fail and end up in divorce. That's a fact.
But I also feel that you are old enough to make your own decisions and mistakes, and while you should be respectful to your parents and soak in their input, by no means should you accept everything they say just because they say it.

I can relate to the way you feel. My husband has no real job and I have been providing for him for 3 years now. Still I know how much he means to me and what he does for me emotionally (not to.mention keeping the house clean lol) but everyone only looks at the fact that he brings in no substantial income.
My family however loves my husband. But I had an unloved boyfriend in the past that got me kicked out. After that I moved to another state with no money and no job sleeping in my car. After about 2 months I would just call my parents and see how things were. Eventually the elephant in the room disappeared And we pretended like it never happened. My bf an I moved back a year later and my parents learned to accept him. We eventually got engaged though never proceeded with a wedding as we were better friends than a couple lol.
I think that even if your marriage failed after a year no one should hold that kind o mistake over your head. Sh*t happens. Divorce happens. Go it on your own and hopefully your parents will come around.
I will however tell you to use caution and make sure you really know someone who you are filing sponsorship for. I've seen too many ppl on this site surprised by finding out their spouse wasn't the person they thought they were (and I'm not even talking about fraud). I'm talkin about only spending "honeymoon" time with people and never seeing their flaws. My husband and I just began filing after 2 years of marriage lol.
I apologize if this is all over the place as it's hard to proof my posts on my iPod but I hope hearing a similar story with an okay outcome made you feel at least a tiny bit better

I haven't tried looking on the site in a couple weeks because I got tired of seeing it say that my case couldn't be found.
Well I just checked and it says the following:
Post Decision Activity
On December 11, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.
Does this mean no RFEs and we're on to the next phase? I'm completely in shock. My reaction was so messed up that my husband thought something was wrong and I ruined the excitement of the moment because I was freaking out instead of cheering!
I checked for me and both the kids, all have the same note. Am I missing something here or am I good?

Not my point that parents have standards. It is unreasonable for adult parents to emotionally blackmail their ADULT son. Leave her or we will disown you is emotional blackmail. That's unreasonable under any circumstances.
Do you think it is reasonable for his parents to say leave the woman who you want to be your wife or you are no longer our son? HELL NO. THAT'S MEAN. IT'S EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL. It's unreasonable to threaten anyone that way. So cruel.

Your parents need to grow up.

It's only doomed if you let it be doomed. Don't forget, you can marry someone from your same race, same educational background, same religion, language and family structure and the marriage can still be doomed.

If you truly love the girl and want to spend the rest of your life with her then who cares what your parents think. They aren't the ones getting married to her.
Sheesh. Your parents sound pretty harsh. It sounds like you might actually need the space that them cutting the ties has provided you with.

Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine. I'm pretty sure we all know the stats on marriage.
I think the OP is looking for some support from other couples who made it through the process.
To the OP it is tough but no more difficult than any other rough patches your marriage will undoubtedly endure through the years.
I think it actually made us closer. The whole process has been something we tackled together.
We on VJ are not the only couples who spend significant amounts of time apart. My parents were apart for months at a time during dad's Navy career and that was before we had technology like email, text and Skype! They survived on snail mail. My mom stalked the mailman looking for letters. lol
It does not need to negatively impact your relationship. It might even make you appreciate it a little more.
Best of luck.

Something to think about. Why do you say "never in a million years" would you do what he did? Giving up everything you have and moving abroad, I mean.
I think until you get yourself in a mindset where you would give it all up, you can't possibly comprehend his adjustment cycle.

It is required, read "Instructions for Form I-129F", step 2, item 5B?

Thanks, Gio&Ale
I'm new to posting things on here, so bear with me.
Good luck to everyone who is waiting - hope you guys get some good news soon!

They will answer all of your questions. They are at the top in the blue bar. Good luck!!

The national average is around 5 to 5 and a half months, so hang in there! It looks as if CSC might be slowing down a bit and Vermont is slowly playing catch-up.
Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between December 31, 2012 and January 8, 2013*.

OMG! ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!

The embassy does not care about the weather in New England or whether or not you turn into "popsicles". There is a legal way for US citizens to get visas for their spouses to the US, and that is not a visitor visa, it is an 130 petition for cr1/ir1 visa. You can argue all you want about what you think is right or wrong and it won't get you anywhere, you are talking to a group of people who took this process seriously, did their research,filed the correct type of petition for visa, paid all the fees, and waited in line. You are banging your head against a wall if you think that arguing your case here is going to convince any of us that you should be the exception to the rule. If I were you I would start reading the guides here at the top of the page, and if you want your spouse to be able to visit next year for the holidays you should start your petition soon. Good luck.

I used a lawyer to file this. She kept the answers on the form short and to the point, much like what you posted on your question. However, she also had both of us (my fiance & me) write and sign affadavits. Are you preparing affadavits? We actually also had my mom, dad, and one of his relatives prepare affadavits as well. The biggest thing is you want your supporting evidence to support what your affadavits say, as well as the forms. The officer didn't read the affadavits the day of the interview- whether they were read another time, I don't know- they could have been unimportant, but my lawyer was of the opinion to overwhelm them with so much varied evidence that they can't find a thing to doubt about the validity of our relationship. (I know I've seen posts that take a different view on this, but it worked for us)
I would definitely include paycheck stubs in the packet. That's great evidence. Also, I would definitely include a copy of your plane ticket from your upcoming trip. A couple of photos will suffice, I think they expect a few in the packet but that photos in themselves don't carry a whole lot of weight- I wouldn't use anything too staged, like with a newspaper- you don't want them to think your trying too hard and hiding something. Make sure the photos look like photos you took because you're remembering a happy moment, not specifically for your application.
We also included an engagement announcement from our local paper. the lawyer thought that was great evidence.
Good luck to you guys!

Dont overcomplicate it...just write exactly how you met and include proof to verify it.

That's fine. Submit evidence a one meeting during the time period mentioned.

:thumbs: These are two good ideas. The USCIS doesn't send anything to the beneficiary. For the sake of the I-129F and G-325A, the beneficiary's physical address is what needs to be listed. You, the petitioner, will receive NOA1, NOA2, and the NVC letter when the case is forwarded to the consulate. I am not sure how Mexico deals out embassy letters and/or packets. This is consulate specific, but this would be the only concern with mail reaching the beneficiary.

You know what I think is funny about these posts? Your marriage is failing and the first thing you think about if immigration status. Shouldn't you be more concerned about trying to save your marriage if you really love your wife.
