Do you actually have to REQUEST the I-94 or is it given automatically??????????
She doesn't have that card. She remembered completing the form and handing it to the CO but he didn't return anything back to her. I called JFK CBP and they said to call tomorrow to find out how we can get a replacement I-94.Thanks for your help!
Well, my husband didn't get his either.We ended up going back to the last airport he passed through on 'entry day' (his actual POE was two airports before that one) and they issued a 'replacement' I-94.
My wife and daughter's I-94's had non-existant dates (August 39, 2006) so we had them replaced by the CBP supervisor at the nearest International Airport.

Its not. i checked every page of the passport. nothing
Look in her passport. It should be stapled into it. -
Hey Guys:
I need your help: My wife just arrived home via JFK yesterday evening. She came on a K3 Visa. I was looking into the next steps we have to take and I notice something about I-94 form. We don't have this form. She said she filled something out at the custom officer's desk but was never given anything back.
So my question is this: do you get the I-94 when you come via K3?
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone. my wife arrived yesterday @ 4PM at JFK, NYC.
She said that was asked a few questions at POE such as when did we get married, where will she be staying, etc. i guess it was simple!
Good luck to everyone.
Damian
A BIG Congratulations to the both of you!!

After 5 months of AR, my wife finally got her K3 visa today from Guyana.
We were first interviewed in August 2007 then I was grilled for about 90 minutes last week. This was definitely a battle. However someone once told me that the reward quickly erases all the painful months for waiting.
To all my fellow Guyanese still waiting: just be patient. Its not an easy thing but you really don’t have too many options. Contact the embassy whenever you plan to visit your other-half and see if they need anything. The embassy never told my wife that they wanted a second interview. I only found out by sending an email before my visit.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Good luck to everyone else.

A Note for K1/K3 for Guyana:
Neither process is faster when it comes to this country.
Yes, your paper work will be approved faster in US for K1/K3 but once it hits Guyana, prepare for fatigue and restless nights.
Every Guyanese user on this board is waiting or had to wait.
Cshell: 2.5 months (visa granted)
Mini: almost 4 months – K1 (waiting)
Myself: 6 weeks – K3 (waiting)
and more…

OHH BOY....you will LOVE the guyana embassy! Just wait and see my friend...just wait and see
anyway, wait till your girl is 18. its better. you've wait this long, you can wait a few more weeks.
Hi, I'm getting married soon to my girlfriend who is 17 and i'm 20. I just wanted to know if I can start the K-3 process after our marriage, or would I have to wait until she is 18? And please don't lecture me about how we're too young, i've known her for a few years now and she's my best friend and I love her. I would just like a helpful response. Thank you. -
Its always good idea to attend the interview. By attending the interview, you eliminate the risk of the consulate requesting a joint interview...which could take months and cause an unnecessary delay.
About the age difference…I’m sure you love each other but keep in mind that YOU know you love each other but not the person interviewing you. The objective is to convince the Consulate that your relationship is genuine. You will be fine though. Every consulate has a textbook set of questions they ask. For example: When did you met? How? What is his/her address, occupation, name of friends, etc. From my experience, its very important to remember dates!
Good luck
:) I will attend the interview with my husband for K-3 visa,do you think that will assure the visa approved specially that i am 29 yrs older than him??we will go to the US embassy in Jordan for that because we got married there -
Well someone had some time on their hands...LOL
Everyone who went through the GEO embassy will tell you the same thing: its no joke.
Unfortunately Sheleena and I cannot say the same. Our interview was simple and casual. The Misses said they dude asked her some simple questions about me and our wedding, how many times I’ve been to Guyana (total of 5 since October 2006)…nothing like ‘how long is his #######’ (don’t laugh…someone was ask that and my source is very reliable).
I was asked a little more, mostly about the early stages of our relationship. I’ve had some grueling interviews in the past and the embassy one is last on my list. The guy was very nice, friendly and generally polite to both of us. I guess its just a matter of which CO you have that day. I have NO idea how I would react if someone strange man would ask my Baby about our sex life.
The best advice I can give you is to get to know your guy, as you should. I ask my wife to marry me 3 days after met. I wasn’t interested in knowing EVERYTHING about her within 6 months…we have our whole lives for that but you have to deal with the reality of the embassy. They ask a lot. It’s not their fault; blame the Guyanese who got married for $$$ and try to migrate. They f*cked us ligit couples big time. Thomas P. Carroll http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/guyana/visa.htm...read this one and it will understand why they do what they do.
It’s a harsh reality and heart breaking one as well.
I'm not sure what to decipher from all the information I find on this site. I see somewhere that it might take up to 50 days to get my NOA2 and then I see somewhere else it might take up to 97 days!!!!Plus I see that the people who filed in May with VSC still haven't gotten their NOA2. This is frustrating! I know I only just got my NOA1 and I should be patient but VSC was supposedly faster than TSC. And I don't really don't understand why we only have two service centers in the entire country processing I-129F forms now. Why was that changed?
On top of that, I just read the experience of Robby and Mini at the Guyana Counsulate office. That pisses me off that they would want to know the nature of our sex life. Who the hell are they to ask such personal questions. And furthermore, WHAT IF I had made a personal choice to stay a virgin until I met my Mr. Right??? Then what? They would deny us because I chose to be a freakin' virgin? O MY GOD!!!! I had read some other profiles and I had decided a long time now that I would go back to Guyana when my fiance is called in for the interview. After reading Mini's post, I KNOW that I definitely have to be there.
In addition to all that, Mini had tons of proof that she and Robby had an ongoing realationship for almost 3 years. Jeez! They even had an engagement party. We have had nothing. The most I have to show is my very long phone bill! And very expensive at that!
When I do show up for the interview and they start asking about our sex life (yes, we have virtual sex since he is in TT - LOL!!!) I'm going to give them all the nitty gritty explicit details. I might even video tape us doing it and take that in as evidence for the interivew - LMAO!!!!!!! These people are completely ridiculous.
Just reading Mini's profile has sent my temper flaring. I guess they can't leave Guyana so they have to make it hard on those of us that can or they can't find a mate so they give us a hard time. Maybe that's why they ask all the sex questions. SERIOUSLY - WHO THE HELL CARES IF PEOPLE ARE HAVING SEX OR NOT??????????? JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!
I guess in their eyes love at first sight doesn't exist because me and Munesh decided to get married in ONE WEEK!!!! Even though we've known each other since we were kids, we only figured out that we wanted to be "together" this year! What am I going to do? I think this whole thing is going to give me a nervous breakdown!
Well I vented enough - Mini if you read this, I feel your pain. I truly hope things work out for you and Robby. Blastid Rass people!!!!!!!!

Think of the concept of a black box (like in Java programming or any programming language): you supply the box an input and you get a response. You do not know HOW the response is generated BUT you get a response. This is Administration processing. In your case, you went to the embassy, did the interview, supplied your paper work, evidence, etc. thats your input!
No one knows what exactly happens in Administration processing but the people who work there. It can be home visit, paper work review, etc etc etc.
Administration processing = YOU WAIT!
Anyway, welcome to the AP Club. Just sit tight and follow up with the embassy every week.
i had k3 interview all was nice usuall question...ho u mate .spouse job ...
they said i will get visa by post in 3 days...but i recived a letter along with passport after 3 days saying we
ur case on hold for administration processing.
we will inform
no action required from ur side..
they didnt said anything about finger printing

can anybody focus something about my administration processing.

the best thing to do is call NVC, find out whats going on.
if you are going to call, call EARLY...like 8am and then again around 12-1PM...it always works for me.
consolemaster,NVC is processing your IR-1/CR-1 even though you k3 might be in your wife's country. The same thing happened to us, my wife received the Choice of Agent Form and I got the AOF fee bill. So I called NVC and they said that yes they are process the IR-1/CR-1 and you have to send a letter informing them to hold the I-130 till you file for adjustment of status.
Call NVC ASAP….don’t pay it yet!
Damian
Glad to read this and hope it's OK to pile onto this thread. This is still not clear to me.
How do you assure that they process BOTH I-12F and the I-130? Then I'd like to have them hold the slower track. Correct?
How did you guys do it?
Why can't you let them process the I-130 in case the interview gets blue-slipped?
Thanks 1,000,000

Hello friends!!!Why am I getting the Affadavit of Fee Bill (I-864) of $70? Am I supposed to send that in for the K-3? I am confused. Yodrak, if you are here please help me!
Or, anybody who knows about that. Thank you!Now, here's what is on my mind. I initially got the impression that for the K1/K3 visa, you need to file the I-324 Affadavit of Support. Please, oh please help me!

So some consulate do require DS-230?
It's required by the Mumbai consulate as well. K3 is visitor but you change status once you get here to permanent resident. -
Hi Guys,
My wife received packet #3 from the Embassy (Guyana) a few days ago. I wanted to see what they sent her so she scanned the forms and email it to me. According to the cover sheet, she has to complete 1 form and send it back (to the embassy) before an appointment date is given
However, I think the embassy made a mistake. According to the packet, my wife has to complete DS-230 and send it in. DS-230? The embassy should be processing a K3 Visa for her, a Non-Immigrant Visa. Why are they asking for DS-230? I thought DS-230 is used for IR/CR-1 Visa.
Can you please clarify this for me before I email the Embassy?
FYI:
* Both I-130 & K3 were approved By USCIS on the same day. K3 was sent to NVC. NVC forwarded K3 to Guyana. As far as I’m aware, the Embassy is processing the K3 – I made no request to process the I-130.
Thank you very much
Damian

Congratulations
:dance: -
I would suggest call USCIS, see whats going on then call NVC again.
USCIS is 1-800-375-5283
To speak with human prompt shortcuts: 1 --> 2 --> 4 --> 0
NVC: 603-334-0700
Prompt: 1 --> 5 and wait
Hi,I have had my NOA2 on 24th april but NVC states have not received case, my receipt number on NOA 2 was the same as NOA1 is this correct

The CR1 was attained by NVC and the K3 was sent to GY...so i was told by an NVC Rep. Will i get any notices from Dept of State?

Hi Guys,
I got my K3 NOA2 on in mail last week. On the top half on the NOA2, it says that the K3 petition (I apologize if my terminology is incorrect) is valid from 4/30/2007 to 8/30/2007 (4 months).
My Question is this: Does the Guyana Consulate HAVE to issue an interview within this period? What happens if they don’t?
Thanks!
-
The Case File was sent to Guyana and I also got the Case # (it starts with GEO)
Is there any way to check the status now or it is entirely in the hands of the GEO Embassy?
I guess i can email the GEO folks and find out the status.
Thanks!
-
I don’t have a DoS case #...the thought came to ask after I hanged up the phone. I will call back.
However, I asked the NVC rep: 'The case was sent to Guyana?' and was told 'YES'
But this is a government agency so...well you know!
Damian,They've sent it to some embassy or consulate, but it may not be Guyana - did they give you a DoS case number?

Hey Guys,I sent an email to NVC 2 days ago to find out if they (NVC) received my Wife's K3 petition. I got the following response:
Good Afternoon,
The visa petition you mentioned in your inquiry has recently been forwarded to the US Embassy/Consulate General. Please allow 10-15 business days for the Embassy/Consulate General to receive the petition.
To ensure a prompt reply on future inquiries, please include only one case per e-mail with the case number in the subject line.
Regards,
National Visa Center
OH2
Does this mean that the petition was sent to my Wife's home Embassy (Guyana)???
Thanks

I passed through this area when i was in Guyana last week...very creepy. Buxton is probably the most dangerous place in Guyana.
Its saddens me to say that this but I know this will become another 'indecent' in Guyana's history. If they cannot find people who killed a Minister of the Government, what makes you think that they care about 11 poor people?
