Thank you for your responses.

He did take what was asked of him and at no point was he told they required juvinille records.

Thanks for the advice re: lawyer I will definately do that because I believe we would have done a better job by ourselves

This may be a little long-winded but please bare with me, because I really need some advice.

My fiancee recently applied for his citizenship. Not only was this for his own personal achievement, but as I am a UK citizen we have iminent plans for him to file for a 1 visa for me. As he had previous minor issues (criminal-driving with a suspended and an incident whilst a juvinile), he thought it best to apply using a lawyer. The application was completed with the lawyer in February this year and we started to see a little movement in March.

His interview was scheduled for today. Now when he attended the interview (alone), he passed the tests no problem, then the interviewee took a look at his documents.

At this stage I must clearly state that:

1. The lawyer continuously stated he did not need to bring anything with him

2. Prior to the interview the lawyer had advised that he would be able to attend the interview as part of the initial application, however at the time this did not seem neccessary

After he had passed the tests and the interviewee was checking the docs my fiancee was told that his application was not complete as they required original copies of his arrest report (driving with a suspended licence) This had been given to the lawyer when submitting the application.

The interviewee then advised that they needed a copy of his juvinile record. Details of this had been disclosed to the lawyer and as the case had been dropped and the records sealed he had told my fiancee this was not required .

We have two predicamentas that my blood is currently boiling about.

Although my fiancee then rushed home for original copies and ordered juvinile report was told they were too busy to recieve it today and he will be scheduled to come back in August. I know this may seem like a long time, but considering we will then have another 6 months or so wait for the fiancee visa to come through it seems like a lifetime and we really both had a heart set on at least the one half of the 2-part process being over.

Secondly, the 'theiving scum' of a lawyer has now stated that he needs a further $700 to attend the re-scheduled interview and that maybe he should have bought the juvinile records!!

Now my opinion is, if my fiancee has already passed and attended the interview bar the requested documents he should be able to submit outstanding docs via post. Not only is August feel like light years away, but he is also a truck driver who is just starting a new job so its pretty tight for him to keep going back to Miami.

And as for that lawyer asides from me jumping on the next flight and whooping his ####### (lol! Im tryning to keep some humour about the situation or I will go mad). I am hoping mad as to what we actually pad him for if for one the application was incorrectly submitted (photocopopies of arrest reports). Secondly my fiancee was not informed correctly of the documentation he needed to submit and thirdly he now wants to add an additional charge!!!!! Just for his 'no-brainer' self to attend the interview. Personally I want our money back but legally is he allowed to et away with this??

I hope at least some of you have managed to stay with me with my ranting. (As you can tell my fiancees the passive one lol)

I would be so grateful for your advice

Pleeeeeaaase

Hi,

If you do manage to get any more info on this please ket me know. I too will be in the same position as my fiancee will be filing for me and my daughter. I am a little anxious with regards to additional docs concerning parental responsibility as her father has been known to be very unpredictable to say the least. Would be good to know what the proceedure is for England?

Good Luck

This may be a bit silly but Im completely baffled as 2 y there r so many copies of the G-325A when you download it do we both need to complete all copies each??

I was just wondering if there is an option of having the oath on the same day as interview?

I noticed that some members have had this done in some States. My partner and I are anxiously waiting for the certificate so he can send off K1 for me, his interview is scheduled for June.

He is a long distance truck driver so perhaps if this option is a possibility that may go in his favour, as his job means he is usually out of the State so would be easier to have interview and oath on same day??

Thanks

Thank You for ur quck reply

I was just wondering at what stage do you receive the certificate of naturalisation? Is it at the Ceremony or do you get it before? My fiancee has filed for his Citizenship and will be filing for a K1 for me to come over as soon as he gets the certificate.

Thanks Guys

Sorry forgot to also ask , when it is time to remove conditions whether my daughter and I will need to complete seperate I-485 forms?

THANK U

Hi

I was just wondering if anybody has had to submit a K2 application. My fiancee and I will need to do so soon for my 5 year old daughter. I am a bit unsure what additional forms we would need to complete. I am aware that for the I-129 she will be included on mine, but are there any additional payment to the USCIS for this and any other submissions that need to be sent for her? just trying to get a general idea on how much whole process will cost

Thank you in advance

When you go for the interview you will submit basically a duplicate application (and medical exam and fees) for your daughter UNLESS your daughter is a US citizen with her own passport, then you submit nothing, she doesn't need a visa.

Thanks for the quick reply. So basically does that mean I pay only one fee for each form submitted?

Hi Group

My fiancee is curently going through the process of being naturalised, following which, he plans to apply for a K1 visa for myself and K2 (I think) for my daughter. Was just wondering if it is better to wait a while b4 putting in K1 visa application or if we can do it immediately after he recieves certificate as we are very eager to get ball running?

Thanks

Thank u So much guys! I had just started to get on my fiancee to put a lil pressure on the lawyer but thankfully cheque got cashed yesterday!

Im so glad I hope this means that things will start to move a little faster now

Thanks again for ur advice!

Hi Group

I am a UK citizen and my fiancée is a permanent resident who has recently applied for citizenship. All being well, when this is granted we hope to apply for a K1 visa for myself as we plan to get married and live in Florida.

My question is he submitted a N400 application through a lawyer at the end of January however, he has not received anything since not even a NOA, neither has the cheque been cashed. I regularly check this forum and starting to get a bit anxious, as it seems that we should of heard something by now? Apparently, his application was submitted to the Texas office

Thanks for your help
