Applied on June 15 for I-751, did bio-metrics on 7/19/2016, since then nothing, no correspondence and my conditional green card will expire next month. stressed out. anybody have similar problem? or it just me? 

They denied it temporarily until the additional information requested is submitted. Once you submit it they will finish up the process and her visa will be issued. Then keeping her passport is a good sign. You only have to worry if they give it back to you.

Thank you very much for your reply. Hope its just like as you said.

Hey guys,

My fiance had visa interview with CO yesterday. Everything went well, but there was a one known problem. Since she is graduated from Bangladesh, and her home country is Nepal, she has to submit police report from both places. We she went to talk to a officer in the Embassy, the officer on duty said that she can submit documents everything she had and submit police report from Bangladesh when she gets it. Yesterday, interview went well, and CO gave her all documents but Passport and said, "once you submit the Bangladeshi police report, we will give your passport". But the letter CO handed to her said "... Visa is denied due to following reason... please submit the police report..." what that means. CO did not said that visa was denied but letter said that, is that mean she has to go through interview process again? or just submit the police report? does anybody have similar circumstances?

Hello,

Because of police report and other family issue, my Faience is going to apply for K1 visa interview at embassy next week. she is still waiting for a police clearance report from her foreign country where she went for 4 years degree program (university). she has police report from her home country.

Anyway, my question is, the approval notice has expiration date October 5, 2013; is that mean she has to enter USA by that date or, does she have to apply for interview by that date?

any clarification or response will be appreciated.

thank you

does anybody have sample cover letter to submit CO? I am looking for sample cover letters to attach with relationship verifications like FB chat lob, phone records, receipt for gift etc. thanks in advance and appreciate your help

Is there anybody in this forum, who has recently gone through K1 visa interview in Kathmandu Embassy, Nepal. My Faience just received a packet from CO in Kathmandu. please share your experience with Kathmandu Embassy in regards with K1 Visa.

thank you in advance.

congratulation on your visa.

Can you please share with us what kinds of question CO asked you?

congrats again.

Not sure what being white has to do with anything.

Yes, it's a different form for you, my bad. Here's the guide for I-134: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-134instr.pdf

Thank you very much.

Your friend can, but it's a serious thing to ask someone. Your co-sponsor will be financially responsible for your beneficiary potentially years. They'll need to be able to show they have the funds to cover their own household plus the person they're sponsoring. This pdf shows what their income needs to be for each family size: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

As from the link above http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3183.html#2

"A sponsor must be at least 18 years old and either an American citizen or a lawful permanent resident (LPR). The sponsor must also have a domicile (residence) in the United States."

Again, as with the comment above, please do let us know which country the beneficiary is from. We can offer better advice based on that, as acceptance of the financial sponsor can vary by country and the requirements may be more strict.

Thanks. I already talk to my friend, he is a white guy and an engineer. He agreed to help me.

One more quick question though, the above link is about i-186 (Affidavit support). don't we have to file i-134 for K1 visa?

Co-sponsor needs to be a US citizen and be able to meet the financial requirements. Most people ask a family member, like a parent.

Thank you but I don't have my parents and relatives here in State. I have close friends who are ready to help as a co-sponsor. I was wondering if my friend can be a cosponsor for me. He meets all the financial requirements.

It would be better to name the country you are dealing with. Some will not accept co sponsors at all.

Co sponsors should be USCs; family or close friends. You will submit a 134 form and if allowed they will submit one as well. Review that form for some insight into what is required. Its a good idea to submit at least one years tax transcript with each form.

my consulate office is in Kathmandu, Nepal. I tried to search for the info, but could not find if they accept co-sponsor or not. where do you look for it?

Since I am recent graduate and looking for job, I need a co-sponsor for the K1 visa. Does anybody have knowledge or experience to in-light in dept about cosponsor? My main questions are: What are criteria to be a cosponsor? Does counselor ask detail questions about cosponsor during K1 visa interview?

Thank you in advance.

thank you for the reply. There are not much people from my consulate office, I have posted another post in the regional forums too, but have not heard back from them.

so, that means do I have to pay twice fee for I-134 as you said I have to fill out two separate I-134 for me and my co-sponsor?

Thank you again.

I got approved from CIC. Now, I am trying to help my Fiancé to gather all required documents and getting ready for interview. I need a help from you guys at this point. At what Point I have to send I-134 Affidavit support? I am recent graduate, so I need somebody file Affidavit support for her? can my friend do that? what are the requirement to file Affidavit support on my behave?

any suggestion will be appreciated?

can somebody direct me to the post where I can see previous interview questions for K1 Visa?

Thank you

I am sorry to hear about your case. I am sure, it is far more frustrating than any body could understand. My case was just approved two days ago after 9 months with a RFE.

I think it is good idea to stick with one person either your local district congressman office or senator. Take advantage of local congressman office, if one is near by. Don't just rely on email, visit his/her office personally. They have one designated person to work with Federal agencies. They also have a speak-person in CIC. so, send them VJ website database of applicant with userID, NOA1 date, NOA2 date, RFE date. Remember, people who actually help you from congressman/ senator office are just hourlypaid-employees. So, be polite and be objective as much as you can. Make them happy to help you. Thats what I did and I think that worked.

In a mean time, have some patient, stay strong. God bless you.

Thank you all.

After almost 8 months wait time is ended, Finally we got approved yesterday.

"On June 6, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice..."

Now, I guess, I have to wait for NVC response, right? I am planning to see my Fiance and be there at the time of her Visa interview. Does anybody know how long it will take from time of approved to visa interview?

thank you all VJers for help.

Our reply was received by their office on May 22nd, we were just approved on June 4th, you are probably getting close. When you check your status on the USCIS website, what is the last date that it shows? Does the status show RFE Response Review?

yes it says "RFE response Review" and CSC received our response on May 24. Hoping to get good news soon

USCIS did tell me that they'll need up to 60 days to process. I can tell you my RFE just needed passport stamps and an essay on how we met, but I don't know if this particular RFE was the reason my case was processed faster.

You can try calling them at 1-800-375-5283, and ask them why it's taking so long. For me, I just waited. Good luck!

My RFE was also for passport stamps and I sent copy of passport stamps and copy of etickes from Singapore airlines. I don't know either whey they are taking longer time to process my case ( and Congratulation to you, good luck for visa interview.

My RFE response was received on May 24 too, but still have not heard from them, now I am worrying ((

I got two notices for an RFE saying they mailed an RFE on May 8 and May 13. Once the RFE came in the mail, the postmark date was May 15.

Have you sent your response to RFE? what's your status at USCIS website? USCIS CIC received my response on 24th of May and still waiting for decision.

I received RFE on May 20, and I sent it on May 22nd 2013. CIC update my case on May 24 as "Request for Evidence Review". I missed passport stamps while sending package first time and got rfe.

While reading VJ posts, I have a feeling that they make a decision within 10 days or so after they received the rfe, but I have not heard back from them since then. do they now put my application at the last of piles again and do I have to wait another 8 months to hear back from them like first time

Any comments will be appreciated.

Just now (5/24/2013 9:00 PM PST) my case status in USCIS website was changed from RFE to RFE response review. Is that normal? does anyone have experience, how long it might take now to get decision?

Any thought will be appreciated.

Thank you all for the reply. I have sent Passport stamps, ticket invoice, and ticket itinerary. Hopefully I will get good news very soon.

I did not sent them passport stamps originally. and now looks like they don't care about the pictures, may be because there is no way to prove that pic was taken within the time frame. In my RFE, they did not mention the picture at all.

I got my RFE in mail last night. Finally ! The RFE states, and I quote "The petitioner and the beneficiary must have met in person between xx-xx-xxxxx and xx-xx-xxxx. submit evidence of meeting the beneficiary in person within the two year period preceding the filling of the petition. the primary evidence may include copies of passport pages that show the identification page and admission stamps. The secondary evidence may be airline ticket stubs and receipts, ATM and Credit card transactions, flight itinerary on airline/travel agency letterhead..."

I have scanned copy of passport identification page and stamped pages, which I can print easily. I do have duplicate copy of e-ticket, and receipt from travel agency with itinerary on their letter head. I don't have any ATM or CC receipt cuz I never used them when I was there. do you thing that will be enough what they are asking for?

Any comments will be appreciated.

thank you
