As far as bank statements, I received a letter from my bank stating that I had an active account for "x" number of years and had deposited "X" amount in the past year and had "x" amount as a current balance. The current balance is not as important as the amount deposited in the past year. I also took bank statements..I was paranoid that if the person on the other side of the window had a bad night the night before my interview they may ask for something "not required'.

There are many embassy specific tips on the forum. I utilized some tips to make sure my interview did not fall month later. I know we had the interview scheduled before we had everything together. Look for specific tips from recent Packet 3 individuals....I would think you could already begin collecting the Packet 3.5 items.

I want to get on Igor's list - K-1 NOA date was May 1st, 2009 -- I estimate we are #200 in line.

Thanks in advance,

Ken

Ken,

The object is to get off of his list... joking. I am glad you found it, I remember looking at it many times a day.

Congratulations

Yong why don't you set up your timeline?

Hello Everyone!

Does anyone can help me. Is there a way I could extend my K1 visa, it will expire on the 19th of May.

My fiance was not ready for marriage. He wanted me to extend. Is there a way?

thank you in advance

First, please fill in your timeline

Second, you can't extend the 90 days once you are in the US (it sounds like you are in the US, but I'm not sure). One of the reasons its 90 days (rather than a shorter period) is to give you time to live together and make sure marriage is still what you want (its hard to judge these things in a long distance relationship). Sometimes it takes being together in a more normal life setting to realize one does or does not want to marry.

If your fiance is not ready to marry, then you need to return before the 90 days, or you risk having problems with possible future travel or immigration to the US.

Hope things work out one way or the other.

Ed,

Once again I concur.............you keep beating me to these answers

Excellent I am happy for you!!! Congrats

Very happy for you..Congrats

Thank you

Can someone direct me to a cover letter for AOS?

Congrats and thanks for sharing, these are the sort of helpful posts people need

Hope you have a great reunion

Excellent

Agreed

Congrats..........

Good deal......buena suerte tambien!!! Study on your next steps and do what you can to not check progress everyday(impossible)

I don't know anything about how in depth about your relationship is, but if you have any time together I think you will be surprised how much you actually know about each other. Use the sample questions as a guidleline and take the questions others have had at the interview and go over them together....really just make sur eyou are on the same page.

Yes....2x2...what is that 5cmx5cm? I had a heck of a time to getting them right in Colombia...but I would think in Canada it might be a little easier...

The chances are ZERO. And even if the make the mistake of stamping it, it is of no value to a K-1. Temporary work authorization for K-1 visas is no longer valid for work. The requirements of the I-9 form used by all employers changed in February and began enforcement in April. A K-1 can no longer work without an EAD or Green Card. An EAD applied for and approved prior to marriage and AOS will expire with the I-94 and is sigularly useless. For your $340 you will revice and EAD maybe a week or two before it expires.

Enter the US, get your SSN, get married, file for EAD and AOS (grreen card)...then go to work.

I concur

Hey I will help you for half of what the attorney will do....you would have better luck suing me than him if you weren't happy with the results.

Chill out man. Withdraw your AOS if that will validate your manhood and move on. Let the woman move on and you should to.

I disagree with you.

If he doesn't withdraw his support, she will have legal status in the US. Basically, she would have married for immigration. She wanted out of her life in the Philippines and married an American, then she left him once she got here.

Its ok to leave him, but she needs to return to her home country, If she doesn't return, then she is showing that being in the US was her main concern, in which case she has basically #######'d her way into this country.

Sorry that sounds harsh, but I am tired of all the third world women just trying to come to the US for a better life. People like the women this post is about is why the K visa process has gotten so scrutinized, forcing us all to wait longer.

I couldn't have said it better...

This site and others offer sooo many resources and there are many old timers here who are willing to help....save the coin for the attorney

I would definetly work on that Birth Certificate...that will not go away.

I would take the advice of others and start to dabble with next steps...it helps to occupy the time and makes you feel like you are doing something regarding the process. Really waiting in lines at various unamed Orlando theme parks is more frustrating than this wait.
