Thank you

My wife and I are sending in her I-751. She has a child that does not fall within the 90 window and will need to file separate. My question is do you still list that child in part 5 of her form?

I sent in the paperwork for my stepson's I-485 back in Feb of 2006. A short time later he received his AP/EAD. Since, there has been a few touches to his case, and I figured he was caught in the FBI name check (funny because he is only 7). Today I received this e-mail from "CRIS". I am confused why they would send the "document" back after this amount of time has passed? As far as being returned as undeliverable, we move during the process and we did complete the appropriate paperwork. I am more concerned about them sending back the application. Any thoughts why this would be?

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: DOCUMENT OTHER THAN CARD OR TRAVEL DOCUMENT BEING HELD FOR 180 DAYS SINCE RETURNED AS UNDELIVERABLE

On April 20, 2009, the post office returned your document I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS as undeliverable. We will hold it for 180 days from April 20, 2009 to allow you time to contact us. If you do not contact us at 1-800-375-5283 within 180 days, this document will be destroyed and you will need to file a new application or application for replacement with fee.[/b]

We are holding off for a month or so. I am looking at getting an extention.

Thanks for the replies. The reason I was asking if the minimum that needed to be done was the DS230, is because we want to hold off with the interview for while. (court issues with ex-spouse) So should we just wait until that is resolved and send everything in at that time or at least fax back the DS230? One more thing, do you complete a separate DS230 for each child and fax that also?

Alright, I just want to make sure that I am doing this right. When returning the DS230, with children listed; do you fax a separate copy back to the consulate for each child, or send one copy with each child listed and retain the other copies for the interview. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I am looking for clarification on packet 3 for Vancouver. The minimum they want is the DS230 faxed to them. The checklist and DS156/DS156K can be faxed later? Thanks.

Was looking on the Travel.state.gov. website for the DS230 and noticed that it is not there. Anyone know why that would be?

Thank you. I hope they did not change anything and that is why it is not listed.

I still have the blank one on my computer. Here ya go!

I thought maybe it was just my computer or me going crazy. Thanks for the help on this one...

Okay that is bizarre, they've changed it since I downloaded mine. Lemme see if there's a direct URL.

Alright, I must be blind. When I click on DS230 it brings me to the "official forms" I would assume it would be listed under the "visa" section but I am not finding it. Thanks for the help

It's not on the USCIS site, it's here:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi_forms.html

(Your packet 3 will have the URL on it)

Am I missing something? I tried clicking on the tab for the ds230 on the gov website and I can not find it listed under the visa portion. Any help would be great!

Just wanted to give a suggestion for those of you who are worried about needing proof of meeting. As a police officer, what I suggest one does is go to your local police station with your significant other, bring identification and have an officer document that he has seen you both together. Then, get a copy of the police record and send it in with your k1 packet. Hope this helps!

THAT TOUCH JUST TURNED INTO AN APPROVAL.

Just wanted to let mid Nov filers know that I was touched today.

Thanks for the advice! Yes, my fiancee is the primary care giver per the divorce decree so that will be an advantage. Further, she works in the legal system with many resources. As far as getting married, I was thinking the same, and if need be that is what will be done. As far as trying to talk to her ex-husband that is almost impossible, as he is a control freak. I would be way more understanding with his concerns if he was a father who wanted to participate in the childrens lives, but this is not the case. He calls them one every three weeks, only takes them twice a year and has disregard many stipulations within the divorce settlement. I feel we have a strong case against him. Guess we will just hope for the best.

I was curious if anyone else needed to go through a court battle with their ex-spouse to allow their children to move? We have finally told my fiancee's ex-husband that she and the children are planning to move and he is not willing to let the kids leave. She has joint custody per the divorce decree, and he only see's the children twice a year due to his job. We are willing to spend the money in court, but if it is a loosing battle then I may need to move instead. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

From everything I have read on here, I would say she should simply plan on bringing documentation that her visit here is exactly that, a visit. If she is flying to the USA, then she will have tickets with her for all stages of the visit, including home after your visit to Mexico.

She should be honest and up front if asked about a K-1 having been filed, but the purpose of her trip is to visit and go on to Mexico, then back and on home.

She should bring documentation of her ties to Canada, such as a letter from her employer. Things that indicate she will return to Canada when the trip is finished. Otherwise, being Canadian, she should expect very little hassle.

Oh... And do NOT get excited and elope either in the USA or Mexico! Beyond that, have a ton of fun!

Good luck on your journey!

I have been reading about visiting the US while going throught the K-1 process. Although, my fiancee and I have not yet filed for the k-1 visa, we will have by the time she comes here to visit in Dec. She is planing on visiting for five day's here in Minnesota, then we planing on flying to Mexico for eight days then back to Minnesota where she will stay for an addt'l two days; then return to Canada. I was curious if anyone else has done this before? I am not as concerned about her entering from Canada to Minnesota as I am when we try to come back from Mexico. Any adivce would be appreciated.
