Hey guys,

I received one of those as well at the beginning of the year. They were asking for the same thing, we sent them a copy of the passport and about a month later I got my EAD, so it's really no biggie. It is one of the simplest things to get to them. It's much better than an RFE for some sort of financial evidence.

Be happy that you can be together now, it may seem like a long process, but they will resume the work as soon as they receive the requested information. And it's well worth it.

Hope you receive everything soon,

Abby & Phil

Hi,

I am currently on a visit back in Germany and I have my interview for the AOS right after I return to the States. August 22nd to be exact. My German Passport is expiring in December. Now I am wondering if I can, while I am back in Germany, just go to the local office and get a new one or if I should get it through the German embassy in the US. The reason why I am wondering is that i don't know what address counts as my address of residence. I don't know if they would accept my German address being on the Passport after living in the US for 9 months now. My mom still lives in the house in Germany of course and I am still registered there as well. I was just thinking that if I get the passport from the embassy in the US they would put my US address on there and that that might be what the USCIS wants to see.

Timewise it would not be possible to get it from the embassy before my interview anyway since I am not in the US right now till right before my interview.

Thank you very much

Thanks a lot everyone, I appreciate it

Is there no quicker way? I didn't get an appointment with Infopass until February and that is kind of a long time for an emergency. Also what kind of documentation will show them that there was a family emergency?

Will I need to pay the filing fee? It says in the instructions that if you filed for AOS as of July 30th 2007 you don't have to pay the filing fee for an AP.

Thanks for the quick replies everybody

Hi there,

I entered the United States on K-1 Fiance visa. My wife and I got married and I applied for AOS and EAD, but not for Advance Parole. Now that my Grandfather is passing away however I need an Advance Parole as quickly as possible. What is the best and quickest way to get one? I am assuming that just filling out form I-131 will result in a lengthy waiting period.

I got married on September 21st, 2007 and my K-1 visa expired on Dec. 22nd, 2007. I have an I-797C that they received my Application for AOS.

Thanks a lot for all the help,

Hi,

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I received my Visa on the 12th day after my interview in Frankfurt, Germany. My fiancee was really worried too, since it was taking much longer than anybody had written. Just try to be patient. I gotta say though, those few days were dang nerve wrecking awaiting the mail every single day for nothing.

Hi everyone,

I recently got my packet from the US consulate in Frankfurt, Germany after my fiancee in the US received the NOA2. On the checklist it says not to send any of the documents (birth certificate, police certificate, I-134, etc.) listed on there but just to send the filled out forms (DS-230 part 1, DS-156, DS-156K, DS-157) and the checklist once all the documents were obtained. On form DS-156K, however, it says to attach the birth certificate, police certificate, I-134, etc.

Do they want me to send the docs with the DS-156K or just have them ready for the interview?

If they want me to send them: send copies and bring originals? Or just send what needs to be attached according to DS-156K and not bring anything? Or send originals and bring copies?

Help would be greatly appreciated. As soon as possible of course, I want to send out my packet ASAP

Phil

Hi Phil,

You took the words...well...confusion right out of my mouth. So, my fiancee and I are in the same boat. Did you guys send in the documents the DS 156K required or stick to the instructions listed on the Packet 3 letter?

Good Luck!

Mike y Caro

Hey,

I just sent in the forms, as said on the checklist and clooected and prepared all of the required docs. To be exact: I sent the DS-230 part I, DS-156, DS-156K, DS-157. ( I think thosee were all the forms). I gathered birth certificate, police certificate, I-134, etc. Whatever is on the list. I did attach a photo to the form where it is asked for before sending it. (I think it was the DS-156K)

I had my interview on Thursday, so the way I did it must have been good.

Phil

How would the CBP officer know if you have a RT ticket or not? Do you present your tickets to the CBPO when entering?

They might ask for an itinerary, they did that to me before. Just wondering what people are doing concering their flights.

Were you entering on a K-1?

Nope!

Hi there,

When entering the US on a K1 visa would it be better to book a round trip ticket (those are way cheaper) or should it be a one way. Just wondering if any of those are better concering the immigration at the POE. I was just thinking that there might be problems if you have a round trip booked since you can't go back. On the other hand maybe the immigration office would consider it a problem that there is no return flight in a one way ticket because the visa is only a temporary one.

Best regards

Phil

No topless, sorry

Are you sure? What if Phil looks like this?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Getting there

Hi there,

I have my K1 visa interview on Thursday, September 6th in Frankfurt Germany. I was just wondering what to wear. Would a suit be appropriate or too much?

Thanks for the help

Hi,

My USC fiancee is about to move. She is already through the petitioning part and I am waiting for my interview date. Will she still need to report the change of address to the USCIS?

Thanks,

Phil

Hi there,

Just wondering if there is anyway that I myself, being the foreign fiance, might be able to give some sort of proof of support from my family or if it can only be done by somebody who is a US citizen or resident? Maybe anybody knows if there is some sort of I-134 for non US citizens or residents.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi all,

My question is... my fiance is planning to visit me while the visa process in going on. So far, we have just received our NOA1. He has family in a different part of the States than me, and will be flying in there as a tourist. When he goes through customs with his passport, will they know that he is in the process of getting a fiance visa? He was not planning on saying anything about me, just that he was coming to visit his family if they ask his purpose for visiting. I assume this will work?

Thanks!!!!!!

Hi,

Okay, I have visited my fiancee in the US after receiving the NOA1 without a problem. I told them that I was visiting her. It was no problem. What your fiance should do is have an itinerary of his trip indicating when he goes back. If you want to be on the absolute safe side some proof that he has to return (e.g. enrollment in school, job, etc.). I have never been asked for something like that except for an itinerary though. I would be careful with not telling the truth about the purpose of your visit. As I said, from my experience there should not be a problem.

Hi there,

My fiancee in the US is about to send me the I-134 and that of our cosponsor so that I have it ready for the interview. She is currently unemployed because she is about to move in two weeks to her new school and then find a new job there.

Would it make sense for her to include a letter explaining that situation? In the I-134 she put student as occupation.

Thanks

Phil

Hi,

Since my fiancee in the US and I are in a similar situation (she is not working because 1 she is a full time college student, and 2 about to move and her step-dad is the cosponsor) I just wanted to ask if you still submitted an I-134 yourself. I read somewhere that the US fiancee has to be the primary sponsor, hence provide an I-134 as well.

Thanks,

Phil

The USC is not required to be the primary sponsor.

You sure about that one? So you only need one sponsor who meets the poverty line to fill out the I-134 and everything. And is there any way to show some means of sponsoring from sources other than from US citizens or residents? From family back in Germany in my case for example?

You will be fine. My mom cosponsored for me and Ed bc i had just had our baby boy and was not working. She met the poverty line and we were approved just fine.

You will be ok
