No news at all since June?????

Congrats!

If he offered her to stay as illegal and she decides not to follow this bad advice, if I were her I would send a letter to USCIS and warn them against the guy...

My own point of view, I do not know the situation but I think it is a bt too easy for the guy who can throw away the girl...

Hi

Forms are made for regular citizens, so a lawyer is not needed to understand what to do... If your fiancee can speak English it is even more straight forward... I did not use a lawyer but I can understand you would prefer one... But I do not think it would speed up the process, just make you maybe less worried. I know that I prefer to be in control and know what is happening rather than having to go through a third parties...

Good luck

My NOA2 says 4 months.

Hi Mew,

May I ask why you had troubles after your interview and did not get the visa directly?

I wish you all the best!

K1 visa once issued is valid for 6 months, but the application I am no more sure, maybe 6 months too...

Hi Devilette,

I agree I was lazy and did not use the search tool. But basically most of the answers of the questions discussed in the forum can be found in former talks, don't they? So where is the fun of live chat if everything should be found by googelling...?

Thanks again for the answer and take care!

HI,

How do you get advanced parol? To whom should you send the request and which form should you fill out?

THANKS!!

I'm curious about the experiences of those of you who have gone through the medical exam in the foreign country or who's significant other did and what the experiences were. Like... what exactly do they test for with the blood tests and what do they ask you to do in the exam?

I know the USCIS website says the blood test is for HIV and syphilis but is there anything else or do they just specifically check only for those?

Thanks to all for your input!

Exam is simple, heart, bood pressure, eyes... medical questionnaire... In Paris blood test is for HIV and syphilis or viruses of that family (VDLR), that is all, also a lung X ray for tuberculosis.

Nothing 'hidden' in the tests...

You should wait 2 more weeks before you start worrying... It ook us 1 month to get the packet 3 after NVC sent the files to the Paris Embassy...

Good luck

haha, even more ridiculous... and i suppose i can't apply for that until i've got there!!

Well, of course not!

I really wonder what is the point in not wanting K1 holder to work quickly??? Couple fights over money?

I would like to know too...

Can you work with a stamp only? what is the difference between a stamp and a card?

If I get an EAD at JFK, can I work in CA?

Thanks!

just gooooooooooo!

The new job will be mentioned in the affidavit of support later in the process, do not lose time now...

Good luck

What you are reporting is not consistent with what's posted here http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/inde...e&cty=Paris

True, but Jonjon, who updated the info, had his interview in June... I have receive packet 3 in the end of August so I guess requests have changed inbetween!

I will let you know when I go to the Embassy (soon, hopefully...)

You are welcome TracyTN. Each Embassy has its specificity... The Paris one has contradicting info on its website vs sent documents, and is very had to contact... But "c'est la vie"

It is written "I-864" 2 times, no mention of I-134 on DS-2001 checklist of packet 3. But I do not see a very strong difference between the 2 excepted the binding system... Sorry too complicated for a frog brain!

Note - 300,000 USD in assets should be more than needed for the affidavit - good for you!

I just got packet 3 from the Paris Embassy and they ask for I-864 !!!

Do not worry it is normal procedure for everybody!

It is the US citzen who has to fill it out with his/her own income and tax...

The original writer of this "invoice", failed to mention all the money saved by not having to take your OH out to dinner & a movie every week, purchasing new clothes for your dates, fuel you didn't have to spend to go on said dates. Since my husband is so far away I have saved money on makeup, beauty salons, new shoes and clothes because for the majority of the last three years I haven't had to worry about what I look like he can't see me anyways! Just a thought.

So true! LMAO

Hi

Thank you for sharing your budget, but it does not apply to everyone as mentioned by other listers.

For example, wedding fees, well in my country it is the bride's dad who pays... So my US fiancé will not have to !

You forgot that once married, your husband will pay LESS tax ! Money is saved...

And last but not least, I will work and add my income to his, so our global income may be much higher !

Besides, it is usually cheaper to live at 2 than alone for food, wahing up, sharing the rent etc...

If we had not met my finacé and I would have travelled anyway...

So what adds really to expenses in our case are the immigration filing and translating... But love has no price!!!

Cheers

Ok, thanks, just starting to get nervous...

What is in DS-2001 checklist in packet 3 ? Where can I find the form online ? Thanks

Thanks for the information

Hi,

Can someone apply for a K-1 visa while under a student visa in the USA?

What should a student do to legally marry a US citizen while under a J-1 visa, should he go back to his country and apply for the K-1 after the end of the J-1 or can he apply already while in the USA?

Hope you understand the question... Thanks for helping me

Hi

Usually kids adapt very quickly, especially once they make friends at school ! They learn quickly the language !!!!

Good luck

I guess yes, but if not the company can send them to her directly or make the hard copy available in the airport. You can email the company to make sure.

The person who pays and the one who travel can be different for sure (as for people travelling for their job and their company pays for the ticket)
