you may have a problem at POE. you had immigrant intent and may need a B1/B2 visa now. you can see where your case it at the CEAC website. I am not sure if they will update it to refused or revoked or something that tells you if the k-1 is withdrawn

Thank for the answer!
 

Would this apply for any future travels or any travel I would do now in the near future??

Hi Y'all,

As the title says. My fiancé or now ex fiancé decided to withdraw our petition. We got it approved and the case was sent to the Embassy about a month ago. My ex who's the petitioner sent them a letter asking them to withdraw our petition and they confirmed they had received the letter. 

My question is, how long would I have to wait to travel to the US again? I have a lot of friends from college that I would love to visit. I am assuming I will be able to travel on a regular WVP visa or tourist visa, but do I have to wait until I get a confirmation from them that they case has officially been withdrawn? If so, will I be able to check it online?

Thank you in advance!! 

:D

@Mike & Tanja @x_driven_x @Little_Vixen

 

Thank you ALL!

 

We called NVC and finally got our case number. Hooray!

Waited for 40 mins on hold but it's worth it.

Said they just got our paper a week ago even if

we were approved since May 04.

Also, they just sent it yesterday to the embassy.

 

We'll just have to wait some more for their email so we can proceed to the medical exam.

It's a requirement in Philippines to at least have the letter or email with the case number.

 

How long did you guys wait until you called NVC??

We have the same dates, but no approval yet

I'm sure it is right around the corner! I just happened to check the app on my phone today, cause I rarely check it because I got tired of it just sayin received. Maybe take a break from checking the status if you're anything like me  and it'll get approved 

Our NOA1 for the old website was November 13th

For new website it was November 15th

We managed to keep it under 200 days, 198 days lmao. Cutting it close

Yeah that's definitely part of my pros-list - my middlename (that I naively added at 14 ) seems impossible to spell for some people - also my fiances name is much easier to sign stuff with (such a pragmatic scandinavian)

Hahhahaha i added not just ONE but TWO middle names as well.. I think I was 15...... My logic was: What if I have kids and they're all boys.. Heck Imma gonna name myself that

Hei folkens  

 

Norwegian beneficiary here. We just got our NOA2, so I am now trying to figure out the rest, haha! @hannahr I have some information from the doctor people in Oslo, do you still need answers?  

Ja takk! All informasjon taes i mot med åpne armer 😁 

Perhaps inbox me? I’m worrying that I’ll get my NOA2 in the summer and then they’ll go on summer vacation and I have to wait until they’re back 🙄haha

the DS-160 has some questions that potential are time consuming to find the answers too. But it only askes for information about the"beneficiary". 
-list ever country you have visited in the last 5 years
- list every time you have (ever) entered the USA, and the number of days you stayed
- list every secondary of higher educational institution I have attended, and when you have attended it. 
- they also want your work history, but I think it only wants the last 5 years. 

 3 and 4
The US embassy in Sweden's webpage states that you may not book your embassy interview before receiving packet 3(embassy checklist).
But you can make your account with the embassy before receiving packet 3, enter all the personal info(like e-mail) and pay the appointment fee. I did this, and therefore I as the "beneficiary" also received a copy of packet 3 directly to my e-mail. 
 

5 

I received a full copy of the medical paperwork at the embassy interview including the DS-3025. 
 

 6.1 
List of stocks and bonds

The embassy wants "recent" dates on the the letter of intent to marry and your I-134(and relay anything your fiance brings to the interview)So if you send them to your fiance to early he/she might be asked about getting a new copy at the embassy interview. 
 

 6.2 
you also need the DS-160 confirmation

Old passport too? When I renewed my passport last year at Politiet, they took my old passport so I do not have that. Would that be an issue? "list every time you have (ever) entered the USA, and the number of days you stayed", is there a way to look that up? I've been back and forth since 2007 for high school, college and now to visit my fiancé. I don't think I have any old boarding passes or anything in my email back from 2007 and 2008.

My visa was approved yesterday 
So for future reference for any Norwegians reading this. The Embassy just want the "flerspråklig fødselsattest" 

Congrats!

Hey! I'm a Norwegian going through the K1 visa process 

We filed late September and haven't had our NOA2 yet either, so unfortunately can't help you with the medical stuff. I'm with you on the vaccines though, I figured I would just wait for them to tell me what to do so I get it right the first time tbh instead of trying to get ahead and possibly get it wrong.

Have you applied for your police report yet? I'm wondering if I should get it Norwegian or English (I think you have to pay to have it translated?)

Hey!! Flott å se en som er i samme båt!

Yeah we filed mid-November so i'm not exactly waiting to hear from them anytime soon. I hope they speed up the process though after Christmas, I'm guessing theres not a ton of Norwegians applying for the K1-Visa but theres a decent amount of scandinavians in general. But yeah I contacted Smittevernkontoret in my Kommune and they told me the ones I needed. I had the majority of the ones listed but there were 4 I needed. I just dont want to go ahead and take all of them before i know its absolutely necessary. But I think once you take it they don't expire. I haven't applied for the police report yet. It's only valid for 3 months at a time I think. You  can get it in english and I think that's the smartest. Perhaps we can ask for one in each language hah.

Good that you decided not to apply. It would not have made sense to a CO that you want to go for 6 months or so because of the air fare (when a round-trip ticket with a 6-month validity is more expensive than a 30-day validity ticket anyway as they are in different fare classes) but you are going to give up your salary for 6 months. And who's to say that the shop will take you back after 6 months?

 

Then there is the concern you could be going there to work illegally. 

In Norway it's pretty hard to get fired. You need a darn good reason to do so. In addition we have something called "permisjon", or "work leave", which essentially means that if you have saved up for a while and plan on going on a  2-3 month track to the Andes you can actually do that and still keep your job. It obviously depends on the job, and the industry. What the company does, is finding a substitute that works for you, or replace you while you're gone. The replacement signs a contract knowing the job is theirs for 2-3 months. Just FYI  

Hei! 

I was wondering if there are any Norwegians or Scandinavians  on this forum that is currently going through the K1 visa process? If so I would love to connect!

If there's anybody from Norway who's gone through the process or currently are, do you know if you can or should take any of the recommended vaccines at your family doctor (Fastlege) or should you wait until your Medical appointment at the panel physician? Also, when it comes to the X-ray and serological test, can you email the panel physician and ask him where to get that done? I still haven't gotten my NOA2 yet but I figured I would do some research so that I'm prepared once I receive it.. whenever that will be 

The vaccines are pretty pricey and I don't want to take any vaccines unless I Really have to. Haha. 

Thanks!!

Hey I don't think it matters for the processing, But I think it matters at the time of receiving your noa2 and they send everything to the embassy in Norway, first because they probably don't have as many applications like an embassy from the Philippines, or Mexico, so the process would take less, the interview date would be less, en everything would go smooth.

So for the processing in the US you're just another application in a pile and they look at you whenever they get to your application so to speak

Do you guys think it matters where you're from? the beneficiary that is? Or are you just another case number once it arrives for processing? I hope they pick up some speed now that fall/winter is coming. I've hard they're not AS busy around this time and onwards but I guess it varies from year to year. I'm from Norway btw

If you are going to hand write it they do. The thing to do is just open the PDF and type in all your answers and click the check boxes then print and sign. Also a bonus to this is you can just reprint a page if you find a mistake while reviewing.

Aaaah I did not even realize I could do it for this document for some reason. Silly of me..That's a good idea. Thanks!!

This may be a stupid question, but why aren't you typing it. I would assume typing would be preferred by anyone reviewing it.

They ask you to use black ink on the application though?

They mean an agency or lawyer.  They assume that the petitioner and beneficiary will work on it together.  Relax.  They do not check handwriting.  They check for complete and properly filled out forms.  

Okay, so you think that even if the handwritings on the I-129F is different they won't care? I just figured I would fill out the beneficiary part since I'm currently in the US visiting and we are gonna fill it out and send it before I go back to Norway. i know I keep asking the same question haha. I have signed my intent to marry document. 

36 minutes ago, EllyNelly said:

The only thing my fiancee signed was his intent to marry statement. I signed everything.. that is our pictures with timestamps, and the actual petition. 

Right, but I assuming then you filled out and signed the I-129F form? We both wrote on in, the beneficiary portion I filled out myself and he's doing the rest.

1 hour ago, Kat123 said:

No just him

so they won't question different handwritings?? I signed some of the additional papers we supplied with but on the actual I-129F application we both filled out different parts of it. I just want to make sure its fine for him to be the only one who signs it. Anyone else done this, where you both filled it out together? 

23 minutes ago, Kat123 said:

Doesn't matter who is writhing,just make sure that is only one person doing it and that information r correct,petitioner is only one who sign the frorm😀

Well I filled parts of it, the beneficiary part because that was easier. So would I have to sign somewhere too??

So we are filling out the I-129F, and is it okay if we Both write on it? Or does the petitioner have to do the actual writing part? I'm currently visiting my Bf and I'm filling out the part thats for the beneficiary, so do we both have to sign the application then? Or how does that work? I don't really want to print out another set of forms hahah.

Would I fill out Part 7. on page 11 maybe?
