Have had my Naturalization Interview and was approved February 13th, 2020, but no information regarding the Oath Ceremony which I presume is delayed due to COVID-19.

Thank you so much, I have my interview on Tuesday in Auckland, New Zealand!!

Yes February 18th American Consulate in Auckland, New Zealand!!!! Sending good wishes to all x

We applied July this year, had one Request for Further evidence, and got our case number from NVC 4 wks after our NOA2, so far so good!!! Let me know if I can help in any way x

Hi,

My boyfriend (US citizen) and I (Australian) have been together for almost three years now and are planning on getting engaged when I visit him for three months in January. I know it's a little unromantic to have to plan when we get engaged haha but I guess it's all about planning in long distance relationships! The reason we have planned it like this is so that I can get one last trip to the US before we apply. Im concerned that I won't be allowed to enter the US once we start the K-1 process so I thought this way we can limit the time apart a little bit.

My question is, what should I take over with me so that I can start the process over there? Birth certificate? Do I need a police check at this point? I want to be organised in advance so that we can apply soon after I arrive there. This is all very, very overwhelming! I feel stressed already! I have been reading so many posts on here, everyone is so helpful and supportive!

Any help/advice would be so appreciated! Thanks so much in advance

Hi there,

Hi there,

I understand K2 Visa holder (child of a K1 Visa holder) has one year to after the K1 Visa holder to enter the States. Can they however visit the States prior to moving permanently and enter on a tourist visa (ETSA)??

Many thanks!

Your children may travel with (accompany) you to the United States or travel later (follow-to-join). Like you, your children must travel within the validity of their K-2 visas. Separate petitions are not required if the children accompany or follow to join you within one year from the date of issuance of your K-1 visa. If they want to travel later than one year from the date your K-1 visa was issued, they will not be eligible to receive K-2 visas, and separate immigrant visa petitions will be required. If your child has a valid K-2 visa and you have already adjusted status to that of permanent resident, your child may still travel on the K-2 visa.

It seems (and correct me if I am wrong) that schools will accept children whilst on their K2 visa, and awaiting adjustment of status. And that documentation (legal) is required of fathers consent to leave the country at departure but not at the US Consulate.

Only question that remains is regarding the medical/vaccination requirements for the child.

Hi there, could someone please outline the process or provide a link of information, for my child whom is 11yrs old, we included his name on the i-129F, what is the process after this?? Does he come with me to the Embassy Interview, does he also have the Immigration Medical/Immunisations? Does he need to travel with me to the States (once I have approval obviously!) at the same time, because my thought was to settle in and then bring him over in several months. I am divorced, does his dad need to provide a letter as to his consent to allow him to leave this country? And in terms of being in the States, when is he able to attend State funded schooling??

Thank you in advance!

Thank you guys, went to the Court house that issues my Divorce, and got a sworn affidavit to say that the Dissolution is the equivalent of a Decree. Fingers cross this will suffice!! Good luck Wendy!!!

Have had a RFE for a Divorce Decree but in this country (New Zealand) our divorce papers are not called this, they are an Order of Dissolution of Marriage, which I supplied a copy of with our application. I contacted our Ministry of Justice, and they said it is simply a difference in country's legal terminology! But this leaves me with a situation where I a being requested to supply a document I cannot obtain. The Ministry of Justice suggested I go to the Court House, and do an affidavit to accompany my Divorce papers, stating this is what this country has in the place of a decree. Does anyone else have experience with this kind of situation???

Thank you both!

Who should sign and the date the Declaration of how we met in person, the US Citizen or the Alien Fiance??

Many thanks!
