Greetings all,

To be brief, my question is if the embassy is ready to interview her / my fiancee, is there anyway to postpone it? Or, better yet so we look reliable, is there a way to do / pass the interview but hold the interview (to be able to fulfill other requirements (2 year home residency rule))?

All help is appreciated

Greetings,

Okay, my last post was deleted so let me assure all right now: I AM NOT ASKING FOR A J1 WAIVER

I'm going to make this brief so hopefully some fine person can assist me

Brief info: Fiancee has 2 year rule, expires December 22, 2014. Filed for k1 February 10th, 2014. Received noa2, i-129f approved. J1 waiver not obtainable because the consulate is brain dead on the subject with numerous calls.

Question: Since we filed the K1 in hope of it being approved around the same time her rule expires, could it actually serve as a problem? If the interview comes first will they deny the K1 or merely *hold* the visa (if approved) until after December 22? Can the k1 surpass the rule (highly doubt it).

Thank you in advance, please read all info before some robotic reply

Have a a good day all!

As I am currently in Nicaragua with my fiancee, we send all things to my mothers address and just give her mailing instructions. I, too, am from MN. I use my mothers place as my domicile and my fiancee's intended location upon entering the US. The only problem will be your assets later on for the affidavit of support. I'll be returning to the US for the last part of the visa and for the AoS.

Change your address throught the USCIS page electronic form...

Yes I found that button. But since it also changes the destination my fiancee will go to, must I send in some extra form?

Greetings friends,

My fiancee and I have embarked on the k1 journey and I just have a few questions:

1. The I-129F was approved by the uscis, (yes, checked online and everything), in a total of two months time. Will this speed up the k1 since it said online to expect 5 months for them to process it or is this fairly common? I know all cases are different I'm just anxious as you all can imagine.

2.I will have to move within a month. How do I tell them that I need a new mailing address and that the location of where my fiancee will be housed will be different? Do I need to tell the uscis (remember, they already approved it) or do I inform someone else? Should I ignore that her destination is different and only change my mailing address or is it a critical step?

3, I am worried I'll miss something from the new office after the uscis, (sorry, I am having a brain fart at the moment), do I just need to call them in case I never received it at the right place?

Thank you all in advance

That's for Field Offices. You are sending your packet to a lockbox, not a field office. You'll deal with field offices later in the process.

Ah, okay. Thank you. Wasn't sure of the difference

The guides on this website and the USCIS part says they accept credit cards.

Hello to all.

I just have a question regarding payment: We want to send our package soon but we are sending it abroad to the US. If we want to pay by credit card, how would we go about doing this?

Hello everyone,

My fiance and I are filling the forms for the first package of the K1 visa. We were filling the G325 and there is a part at the bottom of the form that says "aplicant: printo your name and Alien registratrion number in the box outlined by heavy border below." I am the beneficiary and my fiance is the petitioner. Whose name should be on mine? I am confused now because I thought it was his name and he thinks it should be mine. Thanks to all in advance.

When filing the CR1, what is the USA looking for on the marriage certificate? I am remaking this so it is less confusing for readers. I solely want to know what the USA is looking for. Do they want to confirm it is valid in the government and legal of X country as well or do they simply want to see a marriage between two people? Thank you in advance

Well the thing is here it is not "recognized" by the Nicaraguan government unless inscribed. I was curious how much the USA wants to look into it for the cr1. For example, will they want to personally contact the Nicaraguan government to verify the info? If so, we will need it inscribed first. However, if they just want a marriage between two people, that is covered.

I do not mean to be a bother but I am bumping this a day later in hope of answers

Also, to add, legally her name has not changed because it is not inscribed. Would this seem weird to file if she kept her name and we changed it in the US? Thanks again

Hello to all

As I have been fairly active lately, I came up with another question regarding the CR-1. My wife and I have our marriage certificate from her country, Nicaragua, however, it is not yet inscribed in their civil government (lengthy period). Will the USA care about this? What exactly are they looking for when regarding our marriage certificate in the I-130 package? Any information here would be awesome.

Thank you in advance

Greetings to all

My wife and I are about to start our CR-1 Visa process; however, my wife and I first met in the USA when she was on a J1/J2 visa. In order for us to get the CR1, we must waive her 2 year home residency status. Now, my wife returned to her country one year ago and it expires on December 22nd, 2014. We are looking to waive it because we definitely do not want to wait that long to start the process. Is the No Objection letter the best route to take? Should we use a different method to waive it? Any information here would be greatly appreciated.

Greeting to all

My wife and I are soon looking to start our I-130 package list but I was confused when I stumbled upon the bonifide marriage section

In quotes"

1. Documentation showing joint ownership or property; or 2. A lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence; or 3. Documentation showing co-mingling of financialresources; or 4. Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to you, thepetitioner, and your spouse together; or 5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties havingpersonal knowledge of the bona fides of the maritalrelationship (Each affidavit must contain the full nameand address, date and place of birth of the person makingthe affidavit, his or her relationship to the petitioner ofbeneficiary, if any, and complete information and detailsexplaining how the person acquired his or herknowledge of your marriage); or 6. Any other relevant documentation to establish that there is an ongoing marital union."

Now, I am living abroad in her country but I am not a resident yet. However, we want to file this as soon as we can so we may speed up the time it takes to get back to the USA. Without being a citizen (edit: resident) I cannot hold a bank account here, own property, etc etc. What other routes could we take to prove are marriage exists and is strong? The certificate will not be enough for them? Any information here would be greatly appreciated.

Edit. Ignore me. Confused myself. That's for her 2 year waiver. Duh. I'll let someone else help on that front.

Okay. hoping someone has info here

Not exactly sure what you're looking at...

http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/info/info_5503.html#hardship

here is where I have found some info

Looking at the 2 year waiver for my spouse, which condition does she actually fall under? I am assuming the No Objection one because it appears we cannot deem it as 'exceptional hardship'. Any info here is appreciated

Yes, although they don't have to be a family member. A joint sponsor must be over 18, residing in the US and a USC or LPR.

As you are both abroad, make sure to read the I-864 instruction pdf, and pay particular notice to the domicile requirement. Your residency in Nicaragua may make you ineligible to file, unless you can show you have maintained a US domicile or can show you are going to reestablish one.

The general idea is that my mother will gladly sponsor us. I see what you mean about the domicile. I am assuming it is fine to use her domicile if we both intend to go there upon arriving in the US? (This is the plan until we can get up on our feet from this fiasco)

Thank you for the submitted info. It seems the Cr1 is a better choice; I'm unsure why so many sources pointed me to k3. I'm currently reading the sponsorships.. can family members sponsor you provided they have a large base income?

Greetings to every person viewing this forum. I have a rather large question which will require information in parts but I will try to provide the most sufficient data that I can.

Main objective: To have my wife receive a K3 Visa.

Info: My wife and I currently live in Nicaragua which is located in Central America. I am a United States citizen and I am acquiring my residency in Nicaragua. My wife is a citizen of Nicaragua. I am currently living here with her here because of a past visa she had--

I first met my wife at a university in Minnesota of the United States. She received a visa to study here and it was funded by the United States. We have been aware there was a 2 year rule of which she cannot change her status. This status expires on December 22nd of 2014. That is the day she left the country after her semester had finished.

Since then, she visited me and lived with me briefly in the US with her 10 year tourist visa she acquired after exiting the US (around May, 2013 this was obtained.)

As previously stated, I am now in Nicaragua, her country, and we are married and living together. We want to file for the K3 Visa because we are together and obviously we are happier together. I have read that the K3 Visa takes about ~9 months to be filed and given.

One glaring thing I notice is that she is required to have an affidavit of support paper ready if she is granted an interview; however, the living conditions and money requirements are much lower than that of the US. We can live a semi-luxurious life style simply off of $1000 a month combined.

Off topic data: One of my family members is a recruiter which pays $40,000 USD annually for customer phone service for those that speak Spanish. He can guarantee us both jobs once we return to the US because that is his job and Spanish is her native language and is my second and we both have experience in this field.

Questions I would like help with:

1. Are we able to file for this Visa despite her past student visa existing until the aforementioned date?

2. Are we able to file for this Visa while we both reside outside the US? (Yes, as stated, I, the US citizen, also reside outside the US to this date.)

3. Should we be concerned about the Affidavit of Support because we live cheaper in this country? Will the immigration officers understand they do not pay the same salaries here yet we live comfortably and we will adapt in the US?

4. Will the interviewees view take into consideration other data such as the brother in law instead of sole data placed on the sheet? Of course we can provide names and numbers if requested.

5. Am I able to mail all forms internationally?

6. Can this Visa override her old student Visa with the old 2 year rule?

7. If this Visa cannot override her old one, may we enter the US earlier (within the allotted time frame) and change her status after December 22nd, 2014?

Post data: Our plan was to stay here until the K3 took its time of about 9 months - 1 year to file. The earlier we can enter the USA, the better. Any tips to speed this up would be excellent. ALL HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED BUT PLEASE READ ALL DATA BEFORE POSTING.

Thank you in advance,

Tyler.

1. You can file whenever you want. You can go wherever you want. Be aware of your need to fulfill the Affidavit of Support requirements which includes a US domicile.

2. She needs to fulfill the 2 years requirement or have a waiver to qualify for the K-1. No K-1 until one of those two conditions is met.

Thank you for answering both very easily.

So can anyone else answer?

To reiterate:

1. I want to know if I, the US petitioner, can leave the USA during the K1 processing

2. Will her two (2) year student status from her ex-J1 status prevent her from being able to get a K1

She will have to go home and have her K-1 interview in her home country.

There may be other ramifications, hopefully, other forum members will respond.

Yes i should add she is already home and it expires December, 2014. She also has a 10 year tourist visa and we recently met. The main thing is that I dont want her current 2 year hold to prohibit the k1 to be filed
