Hi! So I just got my letter from NVC and i'd like to ask, do I have to pay for the visa first and foremost or can I schedule a doctor appointment before scheduling an interview at the embassy?

No worries.

 

Sounds like the first submission was rejected due to a missing signature (common...it happens!). Then the RFE was sent with the second submission once they started reviewing it.

So to answer your question, you only need to respond with what they requested on the RFE. For instance, if the RFE is due to bad/missing passport photos, then you would just need to provide the RFE notice + cover letter (optional but recommended) + proper passport photos.

We included both our boarding passes and payments for the hotel room, my passport info & the entry stamp...but no exit stamp. I didn't actually receive an exit stamp. Will that pose a problem?

He didn't receive any passport stamps either while we were in Canada but we're hoping the boarding passes are enough? I'm so anxious. Additionally we included pictures of us in the Art Gallery of Ontario & in the hotel room together + payment for the admission but I'm still worried it won't be enough.

Edit: 

we were both kind of taken aback since we forgot about the boarding passes and passport scans completely in the original package... I can see why USCIS would ask for those but I still feel worried

Only send what is requested. If it's a fix for something on the I-129F and they sent that back, then send the corrected I-129F.

That said, if the whole package was sent back just days/weeks after filing, then I'm assuming you didn't get an RFE. You likely had the filing rejected. RFEs won't be issued until they start looking at your case, which is likely 5-6+ months from filing.

 

Edit: I checked your timeline...it shows that you filed in Sept. 2017. So I'm lost by what you meant by " Edit: also, is it normal for the petitioner to be sent back his petition package a few days after sending it?"

Yeah turns out he didn't tell me that they sent it back to him a few days after he sent it - it was apparently to sign something he omitted, then he sent it back. We got an RFE a few days ago. It'd be less confusing if he had kept me updated :| Sorry about that.

Hi!

My fiance received an RFE and while we have the documents already prepared, how do you go about sending them? Do you include all the old documents & proof that they send you back after you file the petition or do you just send in what they ask for?

Edit: also, is it normal for the petitioner to be sent back his petition package a few days after sending it?

We gathered all the new info for our RFE and since im hecka tired from work at the moment, could someone provide me a link to how to send it back or a simple walk through it? I'd be very thankful, we just want to get it over with haha

Hey,

 

Just wanted to ask you if you also attached I94? https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/recent-search

 

No, I didn't visit the US due to the fact that getting a visa to the US where I live is a long and costly process - so we just met in Canada instead. Making better use of his time off work, too

I'm starting to think it's on a case by case basis as to what they're looking for. It's so random these RFEs. I wonder why what you sent wasn't accepted if you sent all of the above? I sent in 10 pictures which was the max allowed. I sent in my passport stamps which is critical if you ask me. How else will they know you've seen him? For instance.. send in PLANE TICKETS. Not receipts that you purchased a plane ticket online. Anyone can purchase, but that isn't proof you actually got onto the plane and went. If you don't have them anymore, just check your e-mail for the confirmation number and reprint it on the airlines websites. I did that for one or two flights. 

We were just as surprised - we didn't take many selfies (because that's not the point of meeting a loved one) but the ones we did we made sure to include in the package, there were at least 6.

I'm not entirely sure if we included my passport stamp but it seems like something we could have omitted :/ that I can understand asking for, but the "proof of meeting" is a bit pointless to me knowing we included in plenty

passport stamps are really important, just put whichever you can find of those.

 

Did you send boarding passes? 

plane tickets are not always considered hard evidence, but a boarding pass is.

Are scans of my plane tickets & boarding passes alright? Shipping from Poland to the US takes quite a while and I'm impatient

So the RFE arrived - they're asking for proof of having met within the last two years despite the fact we sent them a few pictures of us together, flight tickets, receipts from hotels etc. Should we resend the same thing over again?

There's one more thing - they want passport stamps and while I do have my passport stamped from my time in Canada, my fiance doesn't - he's from the US, I'm guessing it just wasn't neccessary? Would a return ticket be enough proof?

We got an RFE   Anyone knows how long that's gonna take?

Hi, I feel like I'm a little late to the party, but what app are you talking about? What does it do?

I'm not sure how you know of "bad" things happening in US right now, but was only looking for any sources related to topic.

 

I wonder if USCIS restructuring their procedures and stopped processing everything until new procedures are in place?

Perhaps the news. How do you not know about the US being on a forum pretty much about it? 

Also, that's possible with the new president in place. He's wary about immigration, after all

Who can point to where to research about why is the delay happening?

Maybe it's always been this way. If not, it might be the many things happening in the US right now. Mostly bad things

Hi guys! My fiance just got the NoA1. I'm so anxious to see the NoA2, though I know the wait is gonna be long 

Good afternoon, it's me again! This time with another question relating the I-129F, specifically it's journey to the USCIS.

My fiance lives very close to Dallas where the mail is supposed to be sent, is it possible to deliver the K1 package to the USCIS in person? If yes, how does one do that?

If no, which method of payment is safest/most convenient while mailing the packet to the USCIS? 

He's very anxious about it and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly for him :')

Thank you very much for your attention and possible replies!

Hello!

If you only possess a copy of your birth certificate (an official copy, approved by a notary) is it okay to make a copy of it with your own copying machine at home, and include it with the i-129F petition? Or do we need to pay for another official copy to send it over? Or, alternatively, if we sent the official copy, would we get it back?

Thank you for your attention

Thank you, @Sunnyland ! 

He is listed but only by name, his date of birth is not on the certificate. And the two have never talked, his mother never even lived with the man and therefore has no information about him. I suppose writing it in the additional information will have to do?

Hello, I am new to the forums and therefore I want to apologize if I am posting the wrong thing in the wrong place.

Me and my fiancé are currently stumped while filling in the K1 petition, the reason to it being - well, he doesn't really know his father aside from his popular name, making him hard to find on the internet. The birthdate is required in the petition and my question is - what happens if he enters an incorrect, assumed date? Would it be better to leave it blank, and would there be any consequences if he did so?

Before anyone asks, his mother doesn't know the date either. It's pretty complicated, but I bet you can tell already.

Thank you for any provided help.
