    Very Frustrating Never Any Sure Visa Information!!!!

    in General Immigration-Related Discussion

    Posted

    Also, there are some really asinine and smart ### people on here. Makes me wonder who would want to marry them. GEEZE


    .....in this whole process it is NEVER possible to get any concrete info from any site. They all vary and all the advice you get varies. Once you get to all these places in the process its all up to who is handling your process at that time.....It gets completely overwhelming. If it was me the petitioner here in the USA having to do all this, it would be a breeze!!!!! but we are dealing with fiancée's and loved ones from sometimes third world countries. Its nearly impossible for them to get anything done. Things should be changed where we the petitioners with access to modern technology do 99% of the work, after all we are the ones ultimately responsible financially for that person once they immigrate here.

    I completely agree with you. The guidelines on here tell you one thing, the people on here tell you another thing, the email from the Embassy tells you another things, the official websites tell you another thing. It gets stressful

    Affidavit of Support Question Please!!!!!!!!

    USEM only requires the most recent tax return and W-2 (the embassy does not want 3 years of tax returns), employer letters and bank statements are optional.

    All depends on the Embassy someone is dealing with. The Egyptian Embassy wants employer letters from my jobs, I-134 notarized, W2's and 1040's. I printed deposits from my bank for the past year as well as copies of the 2 most recent checks, just in case.

    Oh i'm sorry my explanation here varies a little. We were fortunate enough that my fiance was here visiting me when we needed to send this in, so he brought his stuff with him and we sent it via DHL from the US. In your case, yeah you may want to send another? I'm confused how a consular will be able to notarize something they didnt see YOU sign. Isn't hat the point of a notary? If I were you I would send them a reply email and ask. That is confusing to me. Also, be prepared to wait 5 months to get an interview date. I hope that they will catch up for your sake, but we waited 5, others before us were waiting 6.....gurrrr.

    I'm confused. Are you a female living in the U.S. and your fiance is in Egypt? He got to come here to visit you????????? ahhhh jealous lol

    Yes ma'am! Send in to the embassy and also have one in hand at the interview. As for your notarized I-134 need, I looked back at my email I got from the embassy in november and that is the only thing that has a discrepancy between mine and yours. I thought that sounded weird, but yeah we didn't have to notarize. Either way, from what I read on yours above it doesn't make me feel that you need to send that I-134 to your fiance at all. It is something you fill out here, take to a notary here, and send in with the rest of the stuff. you are the petitioner. Your fiance does not need to handle the I-134 at all. I hope this helps. Feel free to let em know if you have other questions. But yes, we got through all of this and received our visa a couple of weeks ago with only the extra DS-160 thing, none of those others you listed above.

    #######. I can't stop thinking and getting confused lol. Is there a DHL in Alexandria, Egypt that my fiance can go to???????? He has no idea

    Thank you for your reply. I reallyyyyyy appreciate it but I am just so confused lol So, yesterday I went ahead and had both I-134 forms notarized at my bank (I have two jobs) and mailed them to Egypt. He is going to mail everything to the Embassy I thought? He is going to mail copies of his police report, birth certificate, passport and also send 2 passport pictures (are they picky about the guidelines for photos?) and the confirmation letter from the DS-160 application.

    Can he just take with him to the interview my I-134 forms and all supporting evidence as well as his sealed envelope from his medical exam once he gets it? (In the email they said to do his medical exam only 3 weeks before the interview?). HERE IS WHAT THE EMAIL SAID:

    6. An Affidavit of Support (Form I-134) signed by the Petitioner and notarized before either a notary public in the U.S. or a consular officer at the embassy (this can be done on the day of your appointment).

    7. Petitioner’s most recent year of federal income taxes (form 1040 only). Please also bring the most recent W2 form and a job letter indicating current salary and length of employment. <-------------Can this also just be brought to the interview????

    The reason I am asking this is to see if he can just go ahead and mail his stuff to the Embassy NOW to get it going, since like you said it takes forever to get an interview grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    My fiance will mail copies of his police report, birth certificate and passport to the Embassy as well as 2 passport photos and the confirmation letter he printed for the DS-160 application online.

    Can he just take my I-134 forms and supporting evidence with him to the interview instead of mailing them since I had no idea the forms had to be notarized and I just did this yesterday and mailed them to him?

    Oh really???? Thanks so much !!


    Those other forms are not required for K1 anymore I dont believe. We were instructed to do a DS-160 only. At the time of interview your fiance has to have the confirmation page from this online app....

    Sorry, one more thing. In the e-mail it stated to mail the confirmation page to the Embassy. Should he make a copy of it as well to take to the interview?

    I received the e-mail below from the Embassy. I already sent my fiance the I-134 form but didn't realize it had to be notarized UGH Best thing I can do is try to mail it to him as fast as I can?

    ( 1 ) DS-156K-Non-Immigrant fiance visa application
    ( 1 ) DS-230-Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration

    Kindly find the forms that you have to fill in order to proceed with your case:

    Please prepare the following documents for each person applying for a visa and send them to our office via DHL courier service:

    1. Photocopy of passport (the original to be submitted on the appointment date)

    2. Photocopy of birth certificate

    3. A copy of your divorce certificate (If previously married and divorced)

    4. Police certificate from your country of nationality if you are 16 years old or older

    5. Police certificate if you lived in a different country for more than 12 months and you were 16 years or older at that time.

    8. Medical exam for applicant as attached, medical examination report should be submitted on the day of the visa interview. Applicants are advised to schedule their medical examination 3weeks prior to the date of their visa interview.

    9. Applications: DS-160 application online application form: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/, please print the confirmation page and send it along with the documents.

    Awesome, thanks for the reassurance that DHL is very reliable and will get the packet to my fiance. I did provide my e-mail address.

    I love your little story! So sweet and cute! I just love my Egyptian man, so I can picture this story hehe! Funny you said he is never awake before you, my fiance was ALWAYS up before me the two times I have traveled to see him lol! In fact, he was so excited I don't think he ever slept :D I stayed with him and his mum and brother for 9 days in March.
