I did deliberately do it in 2 sections, as I was curious for the AOS, where the affidavit becomes far more relevant than at the K-1 stage, tho i assumed the logic would be the same for both.

Thanks for the response,

Hi,

Looking at filling the I-134 for our K-1 and just wondering if child support payments can be declared on there, and if so where, because I cannot see a place for that sort of thing, or is it included in annual income?

Hi everyone,

could anyone tell me if child support from an ex husband paid for a dependant child can be included on a I-864, and if so where?

Regards,

Arch

congratulations

I have no intention of immigrating from a VWP, I have every intention of returning home after my 90 days is up, I would simply be in the country when my fiance submitted the petition.

Hi,

does anyone think there would be any problems with submitting the I-129F petition while I am in america as a visitor under VWP (with the obvious intention of leaving after 90 days) assuming it is declared appropriately on the I-129F form, or is this going to be seen as me trying to extend a VWP stay (obviously not possible!)

Arch

personally we are getting the petition sent off now and are in the same situation as you (I will be going to america in a few weeks time), just to get a month off the timer!

Our biggest concern is the "proof we have met" due to lack of photographs (we only have 2), however have almost all the primary evidence pieces so assume we will be fine. In worst case scenario, if they say "We want more evidence you have met up", then well, I will be over in america at the time and it is much easier to deal with at that point (including the funny mental image of walking into the UCSIS together!).

Arch

the relative bio form needs to be signed by by your fiencee, the I-129F form does not.

Arch

after talking to vermont service centre regarding this, they only require 1 copy of the bio form per person.

Arch

I am going to take your advise stephen and elisha and add a supplemental information sheet.

thanks,

Arch

Hi everyone,

currently having a problem with the new bio form that parents dates of birth over run the box and get truncated. My plan to overcome this was to write the dates of birth in the cover letter?

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Regards,

Arch

I am a little confused, as the site here says to send 4 copies of the bio form per person, yet in the official instructions it says to only send 1 form off with the I-129 pack.

Can someone please clarify?

Arch

*takes deep breath*

Must stress less!

thanks guys, I assumed things like the IM's etc were worthless, but working on the assumption that more, even irrilivant more is better than too little.

I would hope that 2 photo's, boarding cards, tickets, itinerary and passport stamp scan will be sufficient.

Arch

hi everyone,

Just a very quick and easy one...

The instructions for the passport "style" photo on this site designate that the photo must be 2 inch by 2 inch (+ facial size requirements), while on the official forms it doesn't specify the overall dimensions of the photo only the size from chin to hair line.

Today i got a set of English passport photos done, where my head should be approximately the right size, the the picture itself is a rectangle, not a square.

Is this likely to cause problems? I am just trying to avoid any possible slip ups here, as i am also not sure how i would go about getting an american style passport photo done properly over here.

Hi everyone,

I apologise for my string of threads, just really worked up and trying to make sure everything is perfect for my visa application.

My current "stress" is over evidence of meeting.

Me and my fiancé have met once, during that time only 2 photo's were taken (one quite dark but visible, one good one but taken on the same night) of us together by a friend of ours (we weren't really planning ahead properly at that point).

Now we are obviously going to include those 2 photos in our proof of having met along with the following information:

Plane tickets

Boarding cards

Passport stamp scan

London tube map which as been written on by me

email correspondence from before and after trip

IM correspondence from before and after trip

The only other photos we have are one of my house, and one of a london underground station, neither really all that useful in my opinion?

Could anyone pass comment regarding if they think we will have any problems regarding this?

The only other things to consider are, i will in a month be going over for a 3 month holiday under the VWP while my visa processes, so any RFE will be easy to fix once out there as we can very simply take more photo's of ourselves. The other option is to wait until i am there to apply for the visa, however from what ive read elsewhere, this may cause objections as they assume you are doing something fraudulent?

Any thoughts much appreciated

Regards,

Arch

so my understanding is that as detailed by the consulate, these forms (specifically the I-134) are not required, unless either the consulate or the us state department feel there is a risk and requests them at this stage?

just to tack onto the end of this:

I am currently reading the checklist here:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1guide

and looking specifically at the section regarding Affidavit of Support. Now I could have sworn i saw something somewhere about not having to do this any more, or not having to do it for British citizens or something like that? Am I correct in this or have i misread something? (I cant find the original place i read it)

Arch

aha found where i read it, on the US consulate web site (london):

"Assemble all of the relevant documents required in support of your application and forward the document checklist, IV-15K, to the Immigrant Visa Unit. These documents must not be mailed to the Embassy. You will be required to furnish the original of all documents and one copy on the day of the formal visa interview and medical examination.

Evidence of Support: An applicant for a K visa is not required to file an affidavit of support, form I-864 at the time he or she applies for a fiancé(e) visa. However, the Immigration and Nationality Act does require the applicant to establish to the satisfaction of the consular officer at the time of the application for a visa, and also to the satisfaction of an officer of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration at the time of application for admission to the United States, that he or she is not likely at any time to become a public charge."

However the form listed on this site is an I-134 not I-864.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Arch

Hi everyone,

Apologies if I have missed something explaining this, but could someone confirm for me that the "original statement" I need to send to my fiance in America is something along the lines of:

"I intend to Marry X within 90 days of entering America with a K1 visa"

With a signature and date?

Arch

Hi Everyone,

I am aware that if I enter the states under the VWP I am able to leave for a few days then re-enter, again under the VWP at the discression of the boarder guard. However my questions are as follows, as I have been led to believe that different circumstances apply:

1) If I enter America under the VWP to visit my fiancé, then the K-1 visa gets granted, how long do i have to stay outside of america, before re-entering with the K-1 visa?

The K-1 won't be granted while you're in the US - you'd need to attend the interview and they would keep your passport long enough to issue the Visa and send it back to you.

2) Same question, but if i enter on a visitor visa (b-2), how long do i have to leave america for before re-entering with my K-1?

same as above.

As far as I know there is no time limit to be outside the US when intending to re-enter with the K-1. Theoretically you could leave and return in a matter of days.

Just to clarify I am aware i need to be in my home country for the interview etc, was just a case of if i went out for 6 months on a tourist visa, came back, did all the interview etc etc which im hoping wont take >6 months, would i have to wait 6 months to then re-enter the states on the K-1

After 5 or 6 phone calls regarding this to various us state departments, regarding VWP, they say u have to be out of america for 90 days after using VWP before re-entering with a K-1 visa, however i find no evidence to back this up anywhere, and would seem odd that to re-enter under VWP u can do after a day of being away, but not with a K-1?

Arch
