I'll do both to be sure, thanks guys.

Does anyone also happen to know if the fact that I'm applying for Advance Parole a few days after my I-94 expired will affect anything? They're not gonna bar me from entering the country again if I get the AP will they?

Hi there! Just looking at the supporting documents required for the I-131 and stumbled on the following:

"A copy of any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status, if any, in the United States"

I came here with a k1 visa and have since gotten married, but my i-94 expired two days ago. Does this mean I don't need to submit any document since my currently out of status?

Thanks in advance!

Hi I've just noticed that you've updated your status to show that you have an interview date. When did you get it? Was it when you got packet 4?

I'm also in Victoria and would love to work out whether we need a fingerprint check or not.

This document above says that a name check is acceptable, but there have been previous forum posts (from three years ago) where the consulate has specified that all Australian police certs need fingerprints.

Successful K-1 applicants out there, what did you do?

Edit: Sorry, just saw the other thread with the info.

Thanks for all of your tips guys! It looks like we're most likely gonna be processed by the TSC. >.<

Another option for you is to get married abroad and file from abroad while still both living there. You will most likely get all USCIS process auto expedited. Read this thread, please:

That sounds very enticing! I hadn't noticed that before. What would happen if we aren't expedited though? What are the risks? How long might it otherwise take? To clarify, this is for the K3 visa, right?

Thanks.

Nah, they don't. They used to a little while back, but not anymore.

Australia doesn't do DCF either. :'(

Do the copies of things like birth certificates need to be notarized?

Hi there! My fiance and I have been living in Japan for about 2 years now. My fiance is a US citizen and I'm Australian. We're in the process of filling out the I-129f right now and we've bumped into something that may prove problematic later on.

First of all, we are due to leave Japan in about 6 months. We've indicated in the forms that our current residential address are in Japan (because they are), but will this be a problem later on once it is (hopefully!) approved? We are applying to have my interview at an Australian consulate, but by the time I have an interview there my residential address will have changed. Will this affect anything?

Secondly, how do they decide which service center to send our application to? Things look like they'll be a bit bleak right now if our application is sent to the Texas service center. We have to go back to our home countries in 6 months after having spent basically every day together. We really want to minimise the amount of time spent apart, especially since the time difference is brutal.

Thirdly, is it possible to get my police checks and medical done before the petition is approved? I ask simply because it takes a while to get a Japanese police certificate and I think I'd need to get it translated. I'd also need to get an Australian police cert. I'm worried about things timing-wise.

Thanks in advance!
