hello to everyone...

i have a question before we send out our I-129F form...i overstayed my visa while bein in US on visitors status and at this point i know i will b automaticly denied fiance/e visa and i will hav to do the Waiver...but to my question...for the form G-325A where i state last 5years employment...is better to say i was workin in US illegally or is better to say i was 4yrs unemployed?...eh i know..a situation...i was just young n irisponsible...now i made it harder for my family...but done..n got to do the best i can now...

thank you for any suggestions

peace to your hearts

k hallo everyone! im slowly gettin to the poin i will b sendin the form I-129f in..just lil issue im dealin with...

i know that some of u say that proof of ongoin relationship is not needed untill the interview, but some say its better to send it with the form..so i think better more then less...

i hav three questions:

- copies of an envelopes of letters...dated envelopes will b enough right? or should i reprint n copy all letters too?

- we mostly comunicate by chatin via yahoo messenger, we hav had bout 80 conversations but most of them r like 4hrs talk..i tought i will print out just listing of conversations, but neone out there knows how to do that? i can print single conversation, but dont know how to do that listing from archive....sure would b helpful

- we also comunicate daily..he sends me msgs from his cellphone to my email, again i tought listings of email will b better as there is about 1500 msgs so far, but even though too many papers, should i just print few of those pages?

thank you for any suggestions

peace

n good luck!

but the Czech Republic is part of the EU! they haven't needed visas for ages, from what I know... are you basing your comment on something?

well we did needed visas so far n we still do, but yeah, from what i understand now it looks like this referst to visitors and business travelers visas only ): n ofcourse it was naive to think it would include me since i overstayed, sorry...i guess i just got excited hearing this on news i think its cuz of that separation that sometimes i got hard time to use my head

oh well....

they said on today´s news that there may b new program for czech republic starting this fall when czechs wont need visa no more. Anybody heard of this????

If so, does anybody know what exactly that means fro ppl like me, who is USC fiance n wants to go back, but overstayed, may i hav chance too? or im just lost case?

thanks to everyone!!

That's why I did. My husband wouldn't know where to begin with all the paperwork. So I filled it all out, including the letter of intent and then I just told him where and what to sign. Our intent letters were almost indentical - we had no issues.

Is there anyway you can have your husband type out how you guys met and mail it to him and you just type in the spot his words?

Or you could just write it as if you were him.

....yeah, thinking about this, i may just let him write how we met n then use some of his words, the way he says it...god it will take forever to get one letter out of him though....

got another question...

so i, as beneficiary am tryin to do the paperwork sinece my fiance is just not good with paperwork, the thing is though, that if i write for example Declaration of how we met, it will be obvious that it is not his words. If on the other hand i write all of it n then just send it to him so he can put it in his words....that would take FOREVER, cuz my honey is just unreliable in some things....

what should i do now, how should i get this done?Would it be too bad if i do it myself n let him just sign it?..even though it will be obvious that it is not his words?

any sugestions?

THANKS!!

The Consular Report of Birth Abroad may be filed at the US Embassy as long as the child is resident in the country of birth and is under the age of 18. Trust me.. you are not too late in the slightest..

But this does need to be taken care of before you get your visa.

The information you need is here.. Prague does require both of you to file in person and as it is stated, additional paperwork will be required since you are not married.

thanks, that web was helpfull....the only think i wonder about now n cant find it is if dad in us can apply for her dual citizenship or it needs to be done here in czech?

thanks

hey i tought that when it comes to taking my doughter with me (im beneficiary) all i do is that i just put her to the part B on I-129 numer 13.. so my fiance have to file diferent petition for her too? is it two fees then? she is just 3mths old...

1 petition with USCIS but there will be 2 visa applications with the consulate

k, thanks!

yes usc is father n he is on birth certificate, but baby is 3mths old already, so i guess too late right? does anybody know where i can find that info, what is the exact rule for this to be possible?

thanks

hi everybody,

got question again, surprising huh?

well my fiance (usc) asked me to send him our doughter´s (3mths) original of Birth Certificate...he said he can get her dual citizenship...is that possible somehow? i remember i had read something on it, but i dont remember, anybody has that experience?

n also so if he is gonna file I-129F for me, does he need to file for our doughter too? How does that go? Is it two fees as well?

thanks

got question again, my fiance asked me for original of birth certificate, he said that he may arrange dual citizenship for her n then i would not have to put her in visa. Just so u know, she was born here in czech, so she is czech citizen now. Is that possible?

thanks

thanks emt103c and shannon!!!!

got ur msg shannon, replied too. Yeah, learning more n more thanks! i do visit immigrate2us, didnt post there yet, but i will.

thanks thanks thanks, i really appraciate this!!!

It is hard work but I am a strong believer in that if you are meant to be together then you will overcome any hardships life throws at you My OH and I have gone up to 4 months+ without seeing each other and I know others have gone much longer. Of course the initial "honeymoon period" cools off but that is when you start to see your OH without the blinkers on and decide if they are still the person you want to be with

You'll get there - keep your chin up and think positive!!

n here again u r right! i should even kinda take it as a test for our relationship (although havin kids i should not test no mo(: )if we r ment to be then we will overcome this!......but again, it make all sence n brain says yep, but is hurtin...

JUST CANNOT B WITHOUT HIM!!!!!!

i asked in diferent forum already, but the more feadbacks the better....so my question is...does the hardship letter has to be handwrite? N also i know there were some listings about what r good reasonts to put in hardship letter, but still.........is the fact that my fance has two 4 and 5 years old kids n him neither the kids know my language good reason? Can i put in there as well that i am ballroom dancer n those r ask for in us, or is it just " what my fiance would suffer if he moves to czech with kids?" type of a deal?

thanks

I know its hard... and i know it is really unfair to keep people that are in love apart. I know it feels like you could go crazy...but like everyone said we ALL have to go through it and we all have to bide our time and try to stay sane. I cannot even file yet because of divorce issues that should have been settled a year ago really but because of a spiteful ex who does not want me to be happy, we have to wait much longer.. and its really unfair on us as we have done nothing but follow the rules but due to the wait on my divorce we pretty much used up all his time that he can come visit me ... so we also have to spend many tortured months apart.. but have faith and you will be fine because what is meant to be is meant to be....

it is hard n i know many ppl has this deal even harder then what we do, iv red about famillies spendin many years together, havin 5 year old, the youngest one n cuz man never got legalized, he has to go trough it now, n there is separation ofcourse, n he as financial supporter, ofcourse not mentioning the kids, how do they suffer not having their daddy arround no mo....this is just wrong.........so even though we too have kids involved, the youngest one is 3mnths n she wont remember, but still i belive it makes efect on kids...n that is the worst on this, when it comes to us, adults, we can hendel this, but when kids r involved, it should not happen!!!! But yeah, in ways our falt i guess.............And in a final what is ment to be is ment to be...n everything has its reason!!!!

so god be with us!

that's right the K-1 needs to be denied before you apply for the I-160 (waiver). You can start on the hardship letter now but you know your fiance needs to write it? It is about hardship to him if he has to go to your country to be with you, if you don't get a visa to the US. They do not want to hear about hardship to the non-US citizen. He has to write and sign it. Also you need evidence (documentation) to support what you say in the hardship letter. It's not a simple application. You have time to research it. I'm doing this process myself. I will be filing it this month. Good luck -

k, so the hardship letter needs to be handwrite, do i understand it right?

thanks!! n good luck to you with this!

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR REASON...truth truth truth, you guys all r right, but sometimes things make sence and it is all right, but even though brain says it right, heart is hurting....

but yeah, i guess that is the way to look at it, every day gets u closer n it is definitely worth it, maybe it will bring us even closer, maybe we will apraciate each others presence after all even more...n then maybe that is that reason......

god give me strenght!

Mitakuye Oyasin............

thanks to all of you!!!

k, everybody now....i guess bad day for me or somethin, but im just wondering about all this...n it gives me this question....

so if to apply for K1 you as benificiary have to leave us, then u send of I-129F, which takes about 6mths to approve if u r lucky, then it goes to IVC...another 2mths or so, then it gets to Embassy where we r looking at another 3mths or so, now in my case i will need to apply for I-160 which is another 6-12mths...so we ended up to what? 1,5 years IF WE GONNA B LUCKY!!!!!! Ofcourse my fiance needs to keep his job over in us for all this, so he wont b able to visit with me that often........................now just thinking about it, what is the use of all I-129F if the relationship will obviously cool down a little from not being together.....not talking about kids, who need mom n dad to be with them, not seperate............

CAN ANYBODY COME UP WITH SOME POINT THAT MAKES SENCE????????????

it drivs me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n just to make this all sound even funnier, im away of my sweetheart just for FIVE DYS now!!!!!! FUnny huh? how am i gonna last 1.5 year?

well, those are estimated times. I know it seems like forever. Best to get started ASAP on the K-1 application (did you already?). I don't know how long the California Service Center is taking (there are timelines on here, I think). And start now thinking about what your fiance needs to write (hardship letter) for the I-601 so when the time comes to prepare it it won't take too long to get started. I would recommend a lawyer, but some people do the process on their own (check immigrate2us also, lots of information on waivers).

with fileing im waitin for my fiance to get job, i need to put that in G-325A, then we can send that one off right away. And i am already starting on I-160 n hardship letter....hey that gives me question though....so is that "hardship" just letter typed on pc and signed by my fiance?????is that enough? ofcourse proves attached....oh yea, n can i file that I-160 right now? so that by the time i go to interwiev it would b aproved? i gues no huh?

thanks for responding!!!

A straightforward K1 takes around 6-8 months to get and everyone has to go through that wait. You made a decision in the past to break US immigration law so your process will take much longer. I'm afraid you're going to have to take responsibility for that and accept that it's your own fault your process will be much longer than others.

Good luck on your journey.

well ofcourse u r right, back then it didnt metter to me, i was gonna leave n just never come back, stay home, but i didnt know i will fall in love in us, u know, unexpected happened, n truth, just like u said i got to take that responsibility, i would just kick myself in a head, if i just knew back then....

...may god make me strong so i am able to get trough this!!!!!!!!!!!

....so thanks n good luck to you tooooo

You asked this question yesterday and it was answered

Click HERE for your original thread.

YuandDan linked the USCIS's page for the poverty level's.

A household of 5 would have to earn $30,162.

How many people exactly will be living in the house?

For 8 people it's $43,212...add an extra $4,350 per extra person.

It's all there on that website.

You will need a co-sponsor if he does not meet this income for a 10 person household which would be $51,912.

Good luck!

k, it goes like this....it is 5 of us in household, so my fiance does not meet the requirements, we need to get co-sponsor´s then, but if co-sponsor familly is 5ppl as well does the final poverty line needs to be for 10ppl then? or co-sponsor´s familly does not count?

thanks

hi everybody...so im in this situation...i entered us on visitor visa 4years ago, i was gonna arranged work visa, but cuz of lawyer sayin all the time somethin diferent didnt happened...i stayed in us illegaly then n worked illegaly as well. I met my fiance two years ago, but later down the road i got pregnant so i traveled back home to be with my family when baby will come. Now we r tryin to get me back to us on K1. PPL from forum told me that since i worked n lived in us ilegaly i need to file what is called Waiver first....do you have experience with this? is it form I-160? how does this work?

thanks for any advices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello! As mentioned before, you will have to file for the visa first, you will be denied at your interview due to your illegal presence in the US, and then you will be required to file an I-601 waiver. Your SO will need to prepare a hardship letter showing why it would be a hardship for him to relocate to your country and why it would be a hardship for him to remain in the US without you. Usually waivers take 6 - 12 months to adjudicate, so be prepared for a long road ahead. Good luck!!!

well not a good news....6-12mths...but definitelly helpful, thanks!

oh yeah, n so if they approve my I-160 i will automaticly get K1? or will i need to aply again since it will b denied?

thanks again for any advices!!!

You don't file a waiver first. Because of your overstay your visa will be refused at your Embassy interview and it is then you need to file your waiver.

THanks Gillian!!!!!
