    k1 visa

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    The K-1 Visa is valid for six months from the date of issue.

    If you marry after your K-1 Visa expires, you will need to apply for a spousal visa (the K-1 Visa ia a fiance visa).

    Just wondering if anyone else out there has had a very difficult time with this process...being apart and doubts etc... :blink::blink::blink:

    Wedding celebration details in Cairo for those that want to attend!!!

    in Middle East and North Africa

    Posted

    May 20th Wednesday - I arrive and we go to Faisal and rest at his Sisters house going over the details.

    May 21st Thursday - Meet my new friends in Cairo and go shopping with them!

    May 22nd Friday - Rent the wedding dress. Meet the family (Mom, Dad, Brothers, Sisters) in Al Zaytoon and check on the details for the celebration with them.

    May 23rd Saturday - Wedding celebration day! Take dress to Hair & Make-up place. Then go to wedding portrait place for pictures. Go to hall in the Al Nour Mosque (the light: http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D9%84%...asjed_elnor.jpg). It is next to Waleed's old medical school at Ain Shams (the eye of the sun) University near Abbasya Square. Take pictures outside the Mosque first thing. Celebration in hall before sunset for one hour with video tape rolling.

    This is where it's happening. :blush: It's so beautiful. :luv:

    Afterwords we go check into a hotel to change and then we go back out to an old classy restaurant called the Greek Club or in arabic Alnadi Alyounani and we meet with friends there. Everyone pays for themselves.

    May 24th Sunday - Return the dress and stay another night in the hotel.

    May 25th Monday - Leave for Hurghada for the summer!

    Cost Estimate:

    Hair Make-up for bride: $50

    Dress $150

    Portraits $50

    Hall with Video for one hour $80

    Hotel for 2 nights: TBD as we're still looking for an affordable one.

    Car to take us around will be provided by his sister's husband.

    All the details are tentative but this is our plan. He just needs to make the reservations for everywhere. His sister was at the Mosque earlier when she called him asking him for what day so I guess everything is going ok and we are getting the simple quiet wedding we like after all. I'll let you know for sure when he sends me the note that he made the reservation.

    If you have any recommendations on dress shops or hair and make up places to go to please let us know.

    Also if you are in Cairo you may call him anytime please and let him know you are coming or if you have suggestions or would like to meet up with us. He will store your number in my phone he got me as well. He asked me who is coming on my side? I said I don't know but I will ask! It would be nice to have someone there for me since my family and friends in the US can not make it.

    How beautiful!!!!!!!

    k1 visa

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    After knowing my (ex) fiance for 10 years, we met and decided to marry. I filed the k1 visa application and it was approved Feb. 3rd of this year. How long is it good? We are having a rough road, and have a lot of uncertainty. It is difficult to have a long distance relationship and it is almost a year since I got to see him. (He is in England). If it expires and we decide to marry in a few years, then will we have difficulty getting another one? Just curious.

    Thanks in Advance!

    Hi

    Peter Nguyen Brunner was born on January 12th at 12:03pm. He wieghted 4 lbs and 13oz, 18" and 37 weeks. Thi had a ruff time as her labour was long and couldn't push the baby out due to his being in the wrong position. So after 3 1/2 hours of pushing, she had a C section. Her favorite saying during her labour contractions was "I die". Both are fine and doing well now.

    Peter and Thi

    congrats! cute baby. :star:

    Maria and I just want to thank VJ and all the members of VJ!

    :no:

    Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

    Current Status: Approval notice sent.

    On January 22, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E).

    If you are new, looking for information on how, what , and where to file for a fiancee visa, you have come to the right place.

    If you can read instructions, follow steps, you have come to the right place.

    We really considered getting an attorney, but decided VJ has enough useful and clear guides to follow, so we went for it, prayed and now the petition is approved.

    We're still floating of joy as we received the email from the USCIS notifying us that our visa application was approved!

    Thank God for making this possible to us.

    wow! FAST service!best wishes to you both! :thumbs:

    Need some advice,..

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I have posted this elsewhere also, but am looking for some constructive advice

    I don't really know where to start, my heart is breaking right now. One of my daughters leaves me tomorrow, to make a flight back home, to go live with her Dad and his g/f.

    We just had the biggest screamimg match, and I can't stop crying.

    This young lady is 15.5 years old. I have been asking her for the past two weeks to start getting organised, packing little bits and pieces. So what does she do,...She ignores me, she ignores my advice. what could I possibly know, I am only a Mum.

    In fact, since she found out she was getting to go home, she has had the "F@$# Y$#" attitude. And when I asked her today how much packing she had done, she said, None, I was waiting for you to help me.

    And when I told her I was not going to help her, and she has had two weeks to do it, you can imagine the response I got. And then the phone rings, and it's her Dad. He asks me if shes packed, and I said No. And he is like why the hell not ? I said maybe you need to ask her that. I also said to him that if she didn't pack something and she forgot it, that's on her.

    And his response was, you could at least help her,...This is coming from the same man, that refused to pack anything of theirs when they came to live with me 3 years ago. I flew home to collect them, had to sort through boxes of stuff, just to find their things (he moved into a new house a week previous), pack their things, and then repack stuff, they wanted him to hang onto. Mind you those boxes of things, were a mish mash of all household goods, that I had to sort through.

    I said, No, I was not,...she's old enough to do it herself, once again to him.

    I dont know what to do. You know, all I expect from the child is a little respect. I don't even get that.

    She made it plain and clear to me a few weeks ago, that she flat out refuses to do things I ask her to, because thats her perogative, and she will do things when shes good and god damn ready. Her words!

    I do not ask her to do any chores in this house, do nothing except her own laundry, and this is what I get.

    I told her fine, you have that attitude. But, I pity you, when an employer asks you to do something, and you choose to be like that with him. They will one, not pay you, and two, probably fire you on the spot.

    I know she is not over keen on going either. She made the decison in July last year, just after we got to the USA in April. A month ago, she told her Dad she didn't want to go, and he chucked a fit, and made her feel bad about it, so she got a guilty conscious and changed her mind again, just to keep him happy. I told her to do what makes her happy, I would be fine with what ever decision she makes.

    And now I get this, all the attitude, and insolence. Is she mad at me because she thinks I did not fight for her to stay here?. Am I wrong in not helping her pack?

    I just dont know whats right and wrong anymore when it comes to being a Mum.

    And to top it off, her twin, is upset, and I am tring to console her, and not cry myself....

    Ahhh, Life's ###### sometimes,...

    I have 3 kids and I think the right answer will come from you. My middle daughter is 14 and it sounds just llike her. It is always drama. I am sure she is having a hard time. Packing is trivial, she needs to know that you will be there for her if she needs you no matter how silly she acts.

    good luck.

    JINX,

    I commend you for putting your children first! Some ppl dont. I have watched my sibling put men and relationships before her children, just to further her own happiness and not taking into account her children. it has really taken a toll on my niece and it makes me mad! Children need their parents, if only one parent, they need their mom...especially at age 14! they need your undivided love. seeing what my niece and nephew have gone through, its great to see a parent who loves their children more then themselves!

    :star:

    Thanks for the kind words. I guess if it's meant to be it will be. :)

    Jinx...

    I'm so sorry to hear that you're rethinking your relationship. (F)

    I really hope that your daughter's feelings aren't just those of teenage selfishness... I would be soo sorry to hear that in a few months she told you she regretted giving you a hard time.

    We have a 13 year old daughter and, I'll tell ya, she is becoming pretty self absorbed right now.

    I really hope everything works out to your happiness! (hugs)

    Shan 'n Nick

    Yes, she is 14 and definately into herself! She threatened to go live with her dad if Jeeves comes over to marry me. I have known Jeeves for 10 years online. He came over in June for 10 days and wow I never,ever expected to fall in love with him. It was Nowhere in my plans. I have one son who is 21. Drummer in a christian rock band. Loves, loves loves Jeeves. My 13 yr old daughter too, loves him. My 24 yr old liked him ok until I told her that I was going to marry him and then, oh boy, he was the enemy! I just can't bring him over her, asking him to move his entire life and come here to hostility. I know things are never perfect, but I care too much for him to have to endure that. However long it may last. Maybe in the future, when my girls don't need quite so much attention, who knows... The only thing Jeeves asked me was " Will you have enough time for me?" and honestly.. I am not sure... I am a single mom working to jobs ( RN at two hospitals) just to make ends meet.... It is crazy but I am glad I have my VJ friends because no one else seems to know how difficult this all is! So thanks! Accepting all advice!

    I don't care. Our case is overdue anyways... :-(

    I know. It is awful... With all the stress, it looks like I may not even be getting married at all anymore! I wonder how many couples give up? People have no Idea what we go through to be with the ones we love.

    Well sometime we give up cause that visa process drives us insane . and we don't know what will happen from one day to the next .

    but i think this is long distance relationship and we have to be patient and challenge everything till we will be with our loved once

    you are right. I guess the system either makes or breaks us... I feel like it could be a lot faster though. (Although I have never worked in immigration lol. I work in a hospital) I am sorry that my situation didn't work out, the guy I was going to marry is very awesome!

    anyone else probably not getting married? One reason is my 14 year old daughter

    just couldn't accept t

    he fact that she would have to share me. It has been a very tough decision. Any advice?

    didnt ur fiance know about ur daughter when u became engaged?

    I have known my fiance for 10 years through email and He has really watched my daughters grow up. It is just that my daughter who is 14 thinks that I am just here for her and doesn't want to share me. And my ex husband (who I divorced 5 yrs ago) still wants me back and puts stuff in her head. That doesn't help. So I just can't expect for Jeeves to give up everything he owns to come over here to a "less that friendly" environment. I know that my daughter will someday see that she is being selfish. I just had to stop progress when she said" if he comes over to marry you, then I am going to live with my dad". I know... it's crazy.
