Does any one know what the I-797 RFE is? USCIS.gov is not working for me.

I have not received my request for evidence for my K-1 Visa 129F package I sent in 5 months ago. They said they sent the request for evidence on Aug. 19, 2010, but I have not received anything. There is also an expiration date for this RFE, but they won't tell me when it is when I write or call them. It will be dismissed after all of our hard work getting the package together if we do not receive the RFE soon I bet. We also paid the $455.00 as well. Then we will have to go the K-3 route I think. Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the RFE and when the expiration date might be? The customer support phone line isn't helpful, yet they are rather rude and every time I write the Vermont Service Center, they don't answer my freaking questions!

LOL--no joke!! He is supporting you and probably makes more money than you do and I can support myself fine on my own!!

I figured out he was visiting these girls before we were together, but he never told me that. URRGHH! So..never mind the problems above. Thanks for all the comments though!

What is the difference between the 134F and the 186/4F form for the sponsor in the U.S.? Where does the income need to come from for the 18-? Does the income need to come from the U.S. work period or the past out of country period or does it matter where the income comes from?

THIS IS BY MY FIANCE ON THE SAME FORUM: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?

My fiancee and I (she is the petitioner) filed for a K-1 in April. They received the documents on April 20, so tomorrow it will have been 3 months since we embarked on this journey. Our main issue is that the only source of income for her is SSDI. Hence, there is no way for her to prove that she has enough income to ensure I will not become a burden to the state. Neither her mother or her sister are willing to sponsor us at this point so we are in a bit of a bind. I do have $28k in the bank, as well as a duplex in Florida which I own outright and of which the downstairs unit is currently occupied by a renter (as of July 1, with a 1 year lease). The rent at this point in time is only $550, and what ends up in my bank account is only about $400 every month. The upstairs unit will not be ready for rent until February of next year.

Because it seems pointless to wait another few months, only to have our application turned down due to the lack of a sponsor, we have been wondering whether or not we should void it and go for a K-3 or other visa instead. We want to get married and continue our life together in the U.S. It is that simple. I do not know if there are any other options besides the K-3 (perhaps there are lawyer firms or other establishments that would sponsor people in return for collateral and a certain fee?). It would certainly be preferable to continue on our current course so we may be together sooner rather than later. My fiancee and I would love to hear your thoughts on this matter.

Hello?There is a difference between K-1 Visa and K-3 Visa. K-3 Visa mean you are already married..so how do you know what would take less time? I am in U.S.. My fiance is in Ireland. I know there is a way to cancel it because it probably won't get approved due to the 134 form.

I am not sure , but we spent $455.00 for the K-1 and want to cancel it so we can go the K-3 route and just get married here in the U.S., so we can be together. How do we stop the K-1 review? They have taken 3 months already and we want to be together as soon as we can. We love each other and this time is killing us here! Can we just cancel and get married. How do we cancel the K-1 ?

Thanks Payxibka! PHEWW.What a relief! I thought I was stuck in marriage if they approved the K-1. PHEWW. THANKS!! Yes..I was used to say the least!

Thanks guys!!! I have to do something before I am forced into marriage!

I don't want to marry this guy. I can't trust him. I think he is using me. I already sent in all of the K-1 Visa package. I'm not sure, but I don't think it was approved yet. What if he is using me? We have been through hell lately. Manipulation and deceitfulness are included. He has been using vulnerable women in various countries to go and visit. I think he may have a mental problem. Can I cancel the K-1 Visa if it isn't approved yet?

If the sponsor doesn't have enough income, they can usually make up any shortfall with assets, like cash in the bank. The value of the assets has to be at least 3X the shortage in income if the sponsor is married to the beneficiary. Otherwise, the value of the assets has to be at least 5X the shortage in income. Consulates usually apply the 3X rule for a US citizen petitioner sponsoring their fiance, since this is the rule that will be applied when they ultimately get married and apply for a green card.

Are you saying it is okay for him to add cash into my account or not? I do not have the cash or assets for my account. I only make around $900.00 a month, so he will have to help me somehow.There are no co-sponsors. I already tried that. I guess he will try to self-sponsor. I don't know why they make this so hard. He also has a deed in his name in the U.S for a house he owns..which is for 118,000 dollars. I hope he can self sponsor if he cant deposit cash into my account.

Hello.. I was wondering if it is okay to deposit money into my account before the 134 is filled out(5 months before hand)? My fiance said it would be fraud if he deposited a lot of money into my account in the U.S. Some people told him it would be "fraud". I don't understand this at all. Should we have a joint account then? He is confusing me about how much money we need too. Do we need the 125% poverty guideline minimum amount or do we need more than the minimum amount(like three times as much)?? Please see if you can answer my two questions. Thank you

It says your fiance will apply for a Visa abroad at the American embassy or consulate at:

City:

Country:

I am confused. Is this the embassy in his country or mine? He lives in Ireland and will be moving to the U.S.

Thank you!

I do not have the 125 % income needed for the I-134 form and I have no co-sponsors. Can we appeal this? He will get a job as soon as the EAD is approved, so he won't be a public charge in the U.S. He will be living with me as well. This is ridiculous. Anyone know what I can do to get this approved or if I can appeal this?

I am on a limited income and I wanted to know if a deed on a house and my income are enough? How much assets,income do you need? Anyone know?

I am the U.S. citizen and I was wondering if I was the one to fill out the I-134 and proof of income, etc.. ?

I live in the U.S. and I'm filling out my cover letter, but I don't have the service address. Anyone know?

I don't think the I-129 F is current or is it?

I can't find the link to the fees.

I found all the other forms, but not the 157 and 158? Are they required?

After filing all the paper work for K-1 Visa, is it okay to get married without it being approved yet?

After I have sent in my I -130 forms along with the other forms for the entire process...how long should it take from the I-130 form until the conditional residency is approved and he can come into the U.S.A?

Thanks

Just forget the naturalization process. It won't make a difference. I thought it would but it takes forever anyways. I was told by someone else that the I-864 would have a place for assets and income..so both can go on it. I don't have a co-sponser. Oh well..we will hope for the best as far as the I-864 form goes.

I also do not know if I can mail the G-325A forms. Do I need to take these to the office or can I mail them? By the way..I am not an alien, but the form is asking me for my alien registration number. I am assuming because I am a U.S. citizen that I can leave that blank?

Thanks
