no u can use a downloaded form. barcodes are just used for cover sheets

the I129F petition is for a K1 Visa which is a non- immigrant visa application.

my approved I129F petition was approved Nov 14th and received the Case Number on Dec 16th at the NVC, the same day I was told by NVC that the USCIS requested my file back. Dec 23rd my Case was updated on the USCIS website that it was received for a review. Is this common?

Got my NOA2 and approval Nov 14th, NVC received my file on Dec 9th, assigned my case number on Dec 16th then file was sent back to USCIS for a review?????

Does this ever happen?

no we were not affected by the typhoon at all and the approval came in about roughly 45 days after submission...now i recall before approval they had a mess up... apparently they had assigned 2 Receipt Numbers to our case...so it's safe to say the error was on their part???

the same date our case number was assigned, i was told that the file was requested back by USCIS??? does this ever happen? should i worry about it?

yes flowershoes. as long as you have paid the visa app fee, you should be able to schedule yourself for an interview. on the DS160 form that you have to fill out electronically, you can put in your USCIS Receipt Number in the space where it says Case Number.

Your Fiancee's child under 21 years of age and unmarried maybe included in your I129F Petition for your Fiancee. The only required fee is for your Fiancee's I129F which is currently at $340. As long as the child has been included in the original I129F Petition, the child will also be able to apply for a K2 visa at the time your Fiancee applies for her K1.

At that time, that is when the Visa Application Fee applies and it will be $240 for your Fiancee and $240 for the child, these are the fees set as of this writing.

it took them 4 days from receipt of my RFE to give me the approval!

yes after we submitted the requested RFE , I received the approval in less than a week !!!!

yes saturday payments may not reflect until monday.

RFE asking for Letter of Intent to Marry....NOTE: for same sex filers out there, make sure you indicate which State in the U.S. you are planning on marrying since not all are Marriage Equality States!!!

another post: after waiting 2 long hours for an Immigration Officer to get live on the phone to inquire about my case issue as mentioned in my previous post....i unexpectedly got an email at 9:15 pm from USCIS....

on Nov 18, we mailed you a notice that this I129F petition has been....APPROVED!!!

To God be the glory!!!

petition filed 10/02, ALIEN REG NUMBER chaged 10/04, NOA1 received shortly after, RFE RECEIVED 11/06, i responded to an RFE from CSC in a timely fashion ... CSC confirmed receiving the documentation requeste on 11/08. USCIS website updates my Case Status to "REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE RESPONSE REVIEW". Today I received a text/email from CSC re: Case Status Update stating that Alien Reg Number has been changed...or the 2nd time??? Upon checking USCIS website for case status it went back to INITIAL REVIEW!!!!

my question is, is this odd or does this ever happen? isn't the process supposed to be progressive so why would my case go back to INITIAL REVIEW after a month or so of submitting the petition?

please can someone shed a light on this issue???

hi Trimble,

first of all, if she was here on a tourist visa, she CANNOT work legally! much worse that she is out of status. that will be a big NO-NO to USCIS! those 2 immigration law violations alone will be basis for your denial!

the interview must be finished during that time period.

FYI: per the US Embassy in Manila, the I134 only need to meet the 100% POVERTY GUIDELINES and not the 125% as it has been posted in sime if the forums here on VJ.

self employed and your home address

from what i have been reading here at VJ, filers have been waiting at least 7-10 days after approval to call NVC for a case number.

since she only started in october of thisbyear, her income might not meet the Poverty Guideline and you will need another individual (co-sponsor)to submit an Affidavit of Support aling with your fiancee's. You need not send this along with the original USCIS I129F packet but it will definitely be required at your visa interview.

yes they do require tax docs and an affidavit of support to be presented at the US Embassy during your interview for the K1 Visa.

you would still have to disclose anyone that you have provided an affidavit of support for regardless as to wherher they depend on you financially or not. the Depr of State has a database that has the scanned images of whatever docs were submitted and they can reference to that during your fiancee's interview. your IRS tax documents can show that your grandmother was never dependent on you despite you providing her with the Affidavit of Support in the past.

they are very particular about photos unfortunately. i am in a same sex K1 case also and awaiting my approval. me and my fiancee were not too hopeful either until doma was demolished but dont lose hope since i have seen approvals similar to our case recently. at any rate i would recommend having your fiancee take the photo again to meet the specific requirement.

you need to put your given name at birth on the form if you never had any legal name change thru the court system. if you are the petitioner, you have to submit your US birth cert or your US Passport as proof of your US citizenship and you need to put whatever name shows on those documents. this holds true as well if you are the Alien beneficiary, you will be asked to submit a copy of your passport and your birth certificate .

espared: congratulations to you both. i just filed my same sex K1 this october as well with CSC and in the process of waiting for the Approval! this is truly exciting for me since i never thought i can never be with my fiancee ever here in the US where i am domiciled. you cane check my timeline and our website as well kryzandkyle.com !
