    Good afternoon August 2018 K-1 filers!

     

    I'm new-ish to the site and definitely new to posting but felt like sharing. 

    We chose to get a lawyer because my UK fiance had a police caution from over 10 years ago on his record- we were very worried about what that could mean for our application. 

     

    Anyway, the lawyer sent our packet on August 10th and we received our NOA-1 on August 16th. 

    Good luck to everyone during this long wait! 

     

    Welcome!

    What's a UK Police Caution? Was it resolved appropriately and does he have documentation of clearance?

    I would say that since it happened a decade ago and if proper disposition was obtained, it shouldn't impact your application.

     

    Best wishes,

    Reapplying for k1 visa (same petitioner; same beneficiary)

    Your in laws got 2 bombshells of news in one breath. 

     

    Some things are not gonna change with passing of time. 2018/21st century and society/families still shuns the LGBTQ community. 

     

    I wholeheartedly agree with poster above me. Both of you need to surround selves with supportive peers. Consider therapy to help cope with the parent's rejection. As previous poster stated: the shortcoming is on them, but it will affect you as a couple nonetheless. 

     

    Best wishes,

    Generally I say within a 30 day time frame of the interview, that way everything is current.

     

    Also, are you for the I-134 using income or assets? If income, no real need for banking statements unless wanting to "beef up" the I-134 by showing large savings or something.

    I'll be using my income. Glad to hear bank letter is optional. 

     

    Gracias.

    Hola,

     

    After reading posts, I agree with posters above me: 1st complete divorce process and DO NOT start anything else immigration related. Use this time, as you said, to get to know each other. 

     

    As for him applying for a tourist Visa, although lately they SD consulate seems to be handing them out like candy, if, as you say, he doesnt have much to show that he needs to return to DR, then dont even bother to go for it and have that blemish on the record. 

     

    In looking ahead to 2 years from now when you're beginning this K1 process, consider NOT mentioning you met and started your courtship while you were still married with a pending/stuck CR1 (just my opinion).

     

    Best wishes,

    Sir 

    I appreciate your feedback 

    my concern is about my ongoing k1 petition and what could be difficulties during k1 fiancé visa interview 

    thanks 

    Husgly,

     

    In this day and age, differences in ages is not so much of a barrier when you can show or proof the feelings are mutual and your relationship can endure the age gap. As for your religious upbringing and current practices, be truthful. Speak succintly about how you and your partner have chosen to broach that subject matter: respect, open mind, mindfulness...raising kids [if appropriate] with different religious views/upbringing. 

     

    Best wishes,

    Catherine.

    K1 Visa Sealed Packet Opened

    Hello, we got our K1 Visa from US Embassy in South Africa in July... I wanted to go to my home country first before i head to the US since the AOS process will take a while once i get to the US.

     

    At the outbound airport in Johannesburg, South Africa the airport police were conducting some stop and search randomly like they xenophobic-ally do when they see other African country's citizen, this gangster police also stopped me and he checked my hand bag, they found the parcel and after the explanation about it not to be opened they said they will still have to open it and that they have never seen or heard of it. That my visa was on my passport and that was not my visa since "This is your visa" was written on the envelope.

     

    I told them to see the USEM stamp on it and also to call the US Embassy right away to confirm it or they should just scan the freaking envelope but they were so rude and also said US law must apply in US (Funny), well i kept quiet since it has started escalating and starting to sound suspicious and didn't want to get shot, they now went on to open it neatly (Not cool) the dude then gave it back to me and said i have to tell the US the police opened it like they are relevant to the US, now that the gangster police opened it well i proceeded to my home country because at that time i had checked in and awaiting boarding.

     
    Please what can be done? We contacted the one in my home country and they said they need to be authorized by US Consulate in South Africa before they can help and the USEM South Africa are not responding yet and they say their immigrations do not talk via telephone. 

     

    We called CBP Los Angeles where i will be having my POE and the officer on the phone said he understands and that i can proceed and explain the same thing at the POE since nothing was altered...

     

    My fiancee seems very calm about all these lol and she said i should proceed to POE but i don’t want to take the risk proceeding with an open visa package... 

     

    Can i just DHL it back to them in South Africa or should i just DHL it to a friend in South Africa and he takes it in for me for re-sealing?

     

    The NVC lady we spoke to over the phone said it is not a crime to have that envelope opened and that it is totally amendable so if you're responding please do not make it sound like we just bombed Trump Tower ;) 

     

    Anyone have any advise or experience(s) about this unfortunate situation? 

    Thank You! 

    Hate those #$%^*>÷*,' ers that at like gods on earth. I agree with moon&stars...try that route. Keep calm. 

     

    Best wishes,

    From what I read, that first site is going to be obsolete soon and second site listed will be only official site.  So, I say go with 2nd even if it's a fee days later. 

     

    As per USPS tracking, my packet was delivered on 8/17 at 4:21AM. So, your delivery time sounds accurate 🤣.

    So https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do gives me the date of Aug 8 for when the document was received (I still do not have hard copy of I-797) but https://my.uscis.gov/account/applicant shows the date of Aug 13 (5 days later) 

     

    Now I wonder what date I should've put on my NOA1.

     

    Packet was delivered on Aug 9th at 4:26 am???? according to USPS tracking.
