i have just received my packet 3 from the us embassy in london. on the front page is has my name and my childrens name but it has missed my fourth childs name. We put his name on a supplement sheet when we filed the 1-129f but they must have missed it. There was no way to check until this sheet came through with his name missing. I HAVE EMAILED THE EMBASSY BUT HEARD NOTHING YET. does anyone know if this will affect my approval. thanks Steph.

Lots of info at this topic! Happy Reading

thanks everyone found it.........

how can you tell if your file has been touched i keep seeing this in everyones timeline thanks steph xx

ABSOLUTELY depends on whether or not if you were married. If not...then no worries, as long as the child's father was named on the birth certificate before December 2003. After that, fathers have more rights due to changes in the law that were made about unmarried fathers and their rights. (http://www.fnf.org.uk/unwed.htm)

If you were married, it doesn't matter how long ago the father saw the child- he still has the right to stop the child moving out of the country.

My ex whom I divorced for domestic violence and death threats hadn't seen his son for 14 years, had never paid child support and still managed to get my son's passport taken away by lying in court! He even managed to almost stop my child moving to the US by writing to the US embassy in London stating that he was not to be issued with a visa. It was only after I wrote to the judge stating how my husband had lied in court that I managed to get that revoked and get a passport and visa issued for my son.

we were never married and his name is not on their birth certificates

very much depends on whether you were married to the father or not....

hi

we were never married and his name is not on their birth certificates...his choice...

can anyone tell me the laws about bringing children to the usa of a K1 visa if they havent seen or heard from their father for several years, what evidence is needed from the mother thank you

HI all,

Just wanted to tell you about my entry into the US on the K1 and my POA experiance.

Came in through Chicago, gave over the yellow envilope to the lovely lady, she asked me Steves name, what he does, and asked Emily if i was her mom, which she said yes to, thank goodness, lol. They where all lovely at Chicago.

She said she would be sending the package to Oklahoma Immigraration Services and that all was good. She said please marry before 90 days and then file your AOS, and Welcome to the USA.

So now im here with my Steve after 9 months of doing the K1 visa. I cant believe this part is over and i wont have to leave Steve again:)

For all of you doing this please bear with it, its so worth it in the end.

Thanks again for all your help and support over the last 9 months:)

Now i am sitting here crying i feel so down lately, you have made me feel better, thanks for that and good luck steph...

can anyone tell me how i get a 3 year driving record from the uk so i can have my name put on my fiances insurance when i move to the usa. i have a 10 year no claims will that do.....steph

hi sorry for the late reply but still cant find my way around sight very good. You are very kind. I have spoke to my daughter a bit more on the subject but she is still unsure can you send me your sons email and ill get her to email him if she wants. Thanks again Steph

Hi Steph!!...........Best of luck with your visajourney and your wedding plans

Thank you and good luck to you Steph x

Welcome to VJ I pray you have a fulfilled and happy/peaceful life.

thanks for the welcome and cool pictures how do you get them xxxx

Hi and welcome to VJ. Don't take to heart what members think.....thats not what is important. So NEVER let anything chase you away from the information and support you will get here. I do not claim to understand 100% but hey I dont have to and I won't judge You seem genuine, and I guess possibly part of the initial response you received in the negative was that many trolls pass by here. Hey its the internet.

All the VERY best to you both on your journey to be together

Joined this site a few days ago and have found it to be very useful. Still making up the K-1 package. I am marrying my cousin who lives in the USA, it is very hard to put into words how you have loved someone for so long even though we hadnt seen eachother for years but i knew when we kissed at age 17 and we are now 40s that we would be together someday. Lots of people are shocked but very supportive and some do not want to know, but you will get that in a lot of relationships. We love eachother and the kids are all ok about it so that is all that matters in the long end. Thank you for the support of members who have already responded to my questions and good luck to everyone. Steph and Mike

thank you very much for your response. She will be 16 by the time we go and she would have finished her gcse's. my son is in year 10 at the moment he is 14 and im worried about the change for him also in the school. he is quite shy and doesnt really give his feelings very well.

No, she doesn't have to go. If she really was adamant that she didn't want to leave she could not be forced to leave. The Courts would look at her age and at 15 she would be considered old enough to make her own decision as to where she lived. They would not forceably remove a child from the jurisdiction of the court without her agreement. It can be hard - we think of them as children, a long way after reaching 15, but there are certain circumstances where the courts don't.

If she is absolutely destraught at the thought of coming to the US, could she not stay with her 19 year old brother? Not sure what the circumstances are, because you didn't put much informatin in your post, but is that a possibility.

My daughter was happy about coming to the US, she as 13 at the time, but she was worried sick about leaving her friends behind and how they were going to remain friends with such a distance between them. I told her that they could come visit her here, that we would pay for that. She would be visiting the UK several times a year, since her twin brother stayed there with his Dad, so she could see them then. She has been lucky and managed to keep 75% of her friendships alive - some promised to keep in touch and just didn't return e-mails, letters, etc. But her true friends have been just that 'true friends". I think you have to explain that true friends are just that, no matter where you live.

I was wondering, though, whether she will be finished with her GCSE's by the time you bring her to the US. I found that was the worst thing for my daughter, the transition from the English style of education to the American style of education. It was sooooo hard for her to adjust, but she did fine in the end. In hindsight, I feel that I shouldn't have moved her until she had completed her GCSE's at home.

we have just put everything together but still havent sent anything off yet. I have 4 children aged 14 to 19 my 2 oldest are not coming to the us with me and my youngest son is 14 and he is ok about everything. The problem is my 15 year old daughter, she does not want to leave her friends, how do I persuade her to go, she has no adult to stay here with and i am desperate to take her as she will have a better life in the usa. I am worried sick.

thank you, very helpful. Steph

Hey Steph,

When i initially sent in my 1-129F petition, the letter of intent was done by me (petitioner-US Citizen) and my address was on the top, the Service centre where it will go to would be on the second line.

At the end of the letter, create another Signature line e.g

Signed,

Petitioner's Name: U.S citizen signs here and puts his name

Beneficiary's Name:Fiance signs here and puts her name.

It was approved by the Service Centre.

For the Actual Visa Interview, you do the same thing but The address on the top would be Petitioner's Address

Second line: Consulate's Address for the foreign fiance.

Hope this helps.

Both the Petitioner and Beneficiary also signs at the bottom of the letter.

i live in the uk and my fiance lives in the usa so he will be filing the K1. im a bit confused with the letter of intent that i have to send him do i put his address at the top and the US consulate in the USA or UK. i downloaded an example but it is for him as the petitioner.
