That depends on what happens once you update.

So you suggest I update esta with what happened? Even though they have a record of this in their database

Didn’t realize you had to update the Esta visa with the F1 student denial. 

With that said, once I update, will I no longer be able to visit USA? Or do I have to wait for the K1?

Hello everyone,

I recently had a denied F1 (1,5 month ago) but then website still shows a valid “Esta visa” for the time before this.

My fiancée and I have now started  the process for getting married (the K1 process). 

To spend more time together I would like to travel now to USA for 2,5 month with my Esta (basically valid till 2019) since the F1 for the college was denied. 

On the Internet we read already story’s about this. So it’s very likely that they will interview me at the airport etc. 
The customs officer will decide if they let me in or not. Is this correct? 

Also according to some,  The worse case scenario is that they simply send me back on the next flight to Germany.

if this was to happen, does this negativly affect the K1 process? Will they they take that into consideration when I have my interview? I want to visit my fiancé but don’t want screw up the process if that’s even a thing?

I have proof that I need to return to Germany for my sisters wedding which is scheduled later this year, would this help to show?

Can you please give me some advise here? I would only try to travel to USA if there are no risks that could affect the other processes.

Glad that has been changed, it would have taken forever to get those signatures here to the states. 

What about the proof that you can support them?  Should I be sending my last 2 paycheck stubs?  On the guide, there is nothing listed asking for financial support proof as described by Hawksquil above

I'm just starting the process and got stumped on the declaration on "how we met"

According to the guide on http://www.lovevisalife.com/2017/06/k-1-visa-application-assembling-tips/, their example has a section for the fiancé to sign.

Since my fiancé is in Europe, can this be submitted without a "wet signature"

Also looking ahead to the Intent to marry within 90 days section, their example also has a spot for the fiancé to sign.

Anyone know if they can just email this back to me or is their signature even required?

HELP!!!

Thank you,

Robert

Hey guys,

 

After 1-2 months of researching and gathering documents, me and my girlfriend Hannah are about ready to send in our I-129F. We are trying to be as thorough as possible to avoid getting an RFE... we want to get this right on the first try. Just hoping some people on here wouldn't mind critiquing what we have put together... everybody has been so helpful already, and I am hoping I can count on you again!

 

First, some background. Hannah was born in California to a Canadian father and American mother. She moved to Canada at a young age and has lived here ever since. She holds dual citizenship. We met here in Canada in 2015, and have been together ever since. We have been renting an apartment together since August 2017. 

Recently, she has expressed a desire to move back to her state of birth to attend school, and eventually live/work in USA full time. I couldn't be apart from her, hence why we are filling for a K-1 visa so I can go along with her, and start our lives/family in America. We plan to live in a house there that her parents own (at least for the short-term.)

I originally had concerns about our eligibility for a K-1, since she has been domiciled in Canada for the majority of her life, but I have been assured by other users on here that it doesn't matter (at least at this stage of the process). As long as she can prove her American citizenship (her birth certificate), we should be fine.

 

So anyways, onto what we have assembled so far:

 

- Cover letter (detailing the purpose of the application, along with a list of the contents of what we are submitting.)

 

- G-1145 form (with my email address/phone number given.)

 

- Fully filled out I 129F form (13 pages... LOTS of "N/As" given, as a lot of the questions do not apply. Neither of us have been married/have kids/been convicted of a crime. I have visited the US before, but I am not currently there, and I don't believe I was ever issued an I-94... do I need to clarify this? The form specifically states to only fill out items 38.a. - 38.h. if the beneficiary is currently in the US.)

 

- Signed/dated Fiance letters of Intent (one from each of us)

 

- Proof of our ongoing relationship & meeting within the past 2 years (includes a copy of our current lease on our apartment which ends in August 2018. Both of our names are signed on it. Next are 7 pictures of us together with locations/dates printed ranging from 2016/2017. Includes a photo of a trip to Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. As well as photos of us together with some of her friends, and one with my brother.)

 

- Screenshots of our first few messages to each other. (We originally started communicating on Facebook, and met in person a few days afterwards.)

 

- Also planning to include a page that has a few paragraphs of "our story". How we met, trip we have taken together..... anything that indicates us being together.

 

- Proof of her American citizenship (a copy of her long-form birth certificate which she requested 2 months ago. On it, it is indicated it was issued MAR 2 2018. Also, a photocopy of a birth certificate that was issued by the hospital where she was born, and a photocpy of her SSN card.)

 

- 2 sets of 2x2 passport style photos (enclosed in plastic bags, and staple to a sheet of paper.

 

 

That is what we've got so far. The whole thing is enclosed in a nice little report-booklet that we picked up from an office supply store. I saw videos on YouTube where others have presented it in this way.

Sorry about the long post, but if we can get any feedback of what we have that would be great! We want to be approved on our first try! Thank you in advance!

 

Hi there,

So I'm putting together my package as well and like Shawawa2112, I have been looking at many youtube videos and noticed some people included the 2x2 pictures signed by the fiancé.  Aside from this, the letter of intent was also signed by them on some of the videos.  It was my understanding that you really don't need anything "wet" signed by her?

Is this assumption correct? it would be a challenge for me to get her wet signatures since she is currently in Germany and we would like to file and submit asap.

Thanks
