    Medical Exam

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

    Posted

    When is your interview as my wife recieved her interview date (June 5th) yesterday by e-mail and have many concerns about the doctors exame as they say takes 10 buisness days when I called one of them and her interview is pretty much in 3 weeks.

    I have no idea when I will have my interview. I hope it will be soon. We've been waiting for almost 8 months already. Maybe I will get the interview the same date as your wife :) finger cross.

    Have the Embassy sent email to the petitioner with the required forms (Packet 3) to be completed? Once you received this Packet 3, then you send email to the Embassy to request for Interview date. It takes about 2 days for the Embassy to respond to your email request.

    I see. Actually, I already had packet 3 in my hand :) I will send it after I have my medical exam tomorrow. Thank you for the information :)

    I suggest you read the US Embassy Jakarta web site. It provides a lot of information. You need to go to a registered doctor for your medical exam. Bring passport, 2 3x4 photos, and immunization records (if you have them.) You should call one of the doctors on the list at the web site. The medical report takes 7 business days to complete.

    I already called the clinic but they said I have to wait till I have my interview schedule, but I can not have my interview schedule without my medical exam done. So confusing, beside that do the clinic have the form that we need for the medical exam or should I ask the embassy for the medical form?

    I would like to ask about medical exam before the interview. Can anyone help me. Our case is on US embassy Jakarta yesterday and we haven't recieve any mail from them about our interview or when can I do my medical.

    Can I do my medical exam without mail from the embassy? We want to make a short cut, because the waiting is already long for us. By doing my medical soon before the mail from embassy, we can save 1 week at least. And do I need to copy the medical exam form by my own? Does the clinic have the form? Because I called and they said I need to bring the copy by my own. I searched on google for the form and it have a expiration time for the form. Please help me, any info will be very appreciate. Thank you.

    Subject: K1 Visa in Progress

    Hello,

    My Indonesian fiancee and I are in the process of getting our I-129f approved through USCIS, and anticipate it will be coming through to the Jakarta embassy eventually. We are considering having a family celebration in Indonesia before she comes over here. With no religious figures, no paperwork, nothing that would create any legal marriage between the two of us - simply an opportunity for the family to celebrate since they will be unable to attend our wedding when she comes to the US.

    I've read online that some people have had problems with Consular Officers denying K1 visas because of these celebrations. I want to be sure we don't run afoul of State Department rules. Can you clarify, will the Jakarta embassy issue a K1 visa if we have a family celebration that does not result in any government/religious organization recognizing a marriage?

    Thank you for your time,

    AND THIS IS WHAT THEY ANSWER...

    Thank you for your email.

    You can have a family celebration here in Indonesia. Do not register this ceremony to the KUA or Civil registry Office. If you do so, your fiancé will not eligible for a K-1 visa status.

    Regards,

    Having a non-legally binding wedding before the K1 visa is processed

    Actually me and my husband did this. And this is the thing that he found during his search about our cases or what you will do.

    4.11)...My alien fiancee has been issued a K-1 visa. Can we get married abroad and then come back together to the US with the K-1?

    A...No. The alien must NOT be married when s/he enters the US on a K-1 visa. Also, if using the K-1, the couple must marry in the US within 90 days of the alien entering on the K-1.

    (FAQ Note: Some couples arrange to have a non legal ceremony prior to the fiance(e) leaving their home country, in order to satisfy the wishes of family, or to have a celebration if the family is unable to travel to the US for a wedding.

    back

    4.12)...Does the government, for visa purposes, distinguish between religious and civil marriages?

    A...The government distinguishes between legal and non legal marriages. If the marriage is legal in the country in which it is performed, the US will consider it a legal marriage. It doesn't matter if it is a civil or religious marriage.

    This is what he ask and what he found. We're kind of afraid that they will refuse our k1. We've been waiting for 7 months and 12 days now. But still waiting. And I don't think it will be a problem if you to do it. As long when the interview is on, what you have to answer is "But no goverment anywhere regconises the wedding". It will be ok.

    Be patience. We've been waiting for 7months and 5 days. Just believe it will come soon :) My husband (not legaly, we married on the cruise ship with a port shopping ambassador as our priest), he said that he tried to talk with Senator Baldwin or something, just pray and hope they will make their move on visa application who had waited for so long like us :)
