I can't believe I'm the only person here who has had these types of questions/concerns? Any help is appreciated!

How do you like the Philippines?  Have you visited many places?  Did you meet much of her family?

 

OR

 

Please sit down, I will call you if I have questions for you.  

Ah, ok. Thanks. 👌

vaccinations are part of the medical silly not to get them

She and I have discussed it and she'll be getting them.

Why?      

 

You are going to be there standing beside her ...  ?   CO may ask you to sit down for the actual interview 

 

 

Ok, I didn't know they would allow me to be with her during the interview, other than being able to wait for her inside. What kind of questions could they possibly ask me?

NO cost, included in the medical fee.

 

Opts?  

If she chooses/opts to get the vaccinations now, rather than later in the States.

The CO will see you right there with your fiancee at the interview (yes, you can join her).  You > passport, I would think.

 

Join her as in be there by her side during the questioning or just waiting for her inside but she does the interview solo?

All is included in the cost. You would only end up paying more if you opted to wait until you got into the states. I read it becomes an issue in the AOS portion of the journey.

Much appreciated!

I'm above the 125% line. Are 3 years of transcripts good enough or do I need to give her actual 1040s and W2s as well?

Awesome! Congrats! Our interview is next month. I'll be there with her to help calm her but you know we'll both be nervous! 

In a twist to this, how about since I'm going to be there for her interview, I give her my passport to show the CO as part of the ongoing evidence and state that I'm here right now to be with her for the process? I think that would show our commitment to each other and help strengthen the case, no? Would they even care to look at it?

We're kind of in the same boat on this due to financial and travel logistics involved. She's in Mindanao and will fly to Manila on Monday, have SLEC Tues & Wednesday and interview on Thursday. I'll arrive Wednesday night to be with her for the interview in the morning. CFO scheduled for Friday. A very tight timeline, but it had to be that way, unfortunately. I don't like cutting things that close.....

Any reason why you're also bringing W2s if you already have transcripts?

If my fiance opts to get all of the shots recommended while at SLEC, is there an extra fee for them or is all of that included in the original cost?

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I think it's still relevant to the topic and I haven't received a response to my original post since 2/9, so I'm hoping someone can help me as our interview is next month. 

I was once married to a Brazilian and we went through the IR-1 process. She was approved and entered the US in 2015. I, of course, had to submit an Affidavit Of Support for her at that time. I understand that as the petitioner, we're "on the hook" for 10 years unless they get citizenship or leave the country so her "clock" is 4 years into the 10.

Fast forward to today. I'm filing out the I-134 as part of the K1 for my fiance and am wondering about a couple of things on there. The bold print is from the form...

1. Dependent's Information

Do I need to list my ex-wife here even though we're obviously divorced, live apart and she's working? Our divorce decree had no spousal support requirements/obligations and I do not support her financially.

2. I have previously submitted affidavit(s) of support for the following person(s)

I assume I need to list the ex-wife here?

3. I have submitted a visa petition to USCIS on behalf of the following persons.

Once again, I need to list the ex here? As well as my current fiance?

4. Part 3, #38 - I intend/do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person named in Part 2. 

Part 2 is naming my beneficiary fiance, so I'm confused about this question.

One other thing...

I requested my prior 3 years of tax transcripts online. Once I downloaded them and printed it, something odd stands out and I hope it's not an issue when they are submitted at the interview....

On all three of them, where it states: NAME(S) SHOWN ON RETURN: XXXX (First 4 letters of ex-wife's last name, which is different from mine because she kept her maiden name). But it doesn't have my name on there anywhere. It does show my SS# above that, along with hers below mine as well as mine for SSN Provided. I am the person that filed the taxes (married, filing jointly) so why itsn't my name anywhere on it? Any ideas on this? Thanks!

I hope my questions make sense, and if they don't please let me know so I can help clarify. Any help is appreciated!

That's odd that they'd size them as 2x3. I go to Costco and get them cheaper than anywhere else and they're the correct size and good quality. Second best option is Walmart. I used to get them free with my AAA membership at the local office but they've started charging for them so I now go to Costco because it's cheaper.

When you scroll up the history in Whatsapp it actually shows the date which dissapears quickly, but gives enough time to make a screenshot. This is what we did. Looks like this:

 

I've done the same thing with our WA screenshots. It's tricky at first to get the date to stay there long enough for you to get the screenshot but you can get it after some trial and error.

Anyone? Any help is appreciated.

Mine was in and out of the NVC in less than 2 weeks.

Ours is on 3/28! I've already booked her flight to Manila from Mindanao and the hotel for the 25th. She'll do medical on the 26th/27th and CFO on the 29th. I will arrive on the 26th.

My most recent tax transcript (2017) shows my now-ex still listed on there because we were still married filing-jointly. Will that be an issue?

Our interview is scheduled for 3/28. Maybe they're all taken?

Hello, all!

I've been a lurker here since I started the K-1 process for my fiance in the Philippines and we're at the point where we now have our interview date (3/28/19) and I'll be flying there on the 26th to be with her to support her (really each other) over the last hurdle. So, I have a couple of questions but first a quick background:

I was once married to a Brazilian and we went through the IR-1 process. She was approved and entered the US in 2015. I, of course, had to submit an Affidavit Of Support for her at that time.
