Okay I recently made a post regarding the fact that we submitted original documents. I'm afraid we have seriously screwed the process up. Considering the time, energy and hassle it was to even get the paperwork in this has now become a serious worry. Here is the situation. We met online, my now husband came to the us on a visitor's visa. WE fell in love and were married within the 90 days of his vistors visa. We saw a lawyer briefly who explained the very basics of what forms to fill out and said our case was pretty much open and closed and thought we would not have any problems. Of course she offered to do all the paperwork for us for 3000 in which we declined. WE should have taken her up on this. Once we did the paperwork...it was ultra confusing, we could not get through to the customer service line so we went back to lawyer for about a half an hour of questions about forms. She acted irritated and was short with us. WE are now in a situation where i fear we could be denied. IF we have to apply again, so be it, as i'm CONFIDENT there wont be any screw ups. However, does this mean my husband has to leave the country? I want to prepare myself for what may or may not happen at this point. WE have our interview in a few weeks and I'm not exactly feeling confident. I'm wondering if anyone out there knows what to do next if denied. I'm really hesitant to go back to the same lawyer but might be consulting another one. The only problem with that is that there are only like 5 immigration lawyers in this state. She just happens to be in our town. She also took the time to offer up the information that she is the cheapest lawyer in the state as well. I'm hoping for the best but I think it's time we start comming up with a plan b if neccessary.

The US Embassy will most likely get everything you sent to the USCIS but it's not guaranteed and you will need to show the documents they're requesting. You can try to get another set of documents just in case, or take your chances and hope that they do have them, which many times they do.

do i contact the uscis to get copies? I'm afriad now we will not have enough time to get them? we have about 3 weeks before our interview.

There is slight chance that the beneficiary can talk with the Visa Officer on Interview Day, to GET the originals OUT of the casefile, make copies outside of the Embassy, return to Embassy with the copies.

If you get any hassle prior, from the pre-screener, always tell them - the ORIGINALS are in the casefile.

thank you for your reply not getting too much info from the "customer support" line...god what a joke. they say just go to the interview. like we have a choice.

As life would have it we submitted original documents. Our interview is comming up and do not have copies. Needless to say I a pretty worried. On the paperwork (797) it states we need 2 copies of supporting documents, OTHERWISE the originals will be kept for records. does ANYONE know what we need to take or atleast if we will be denied if we dont have original copies??? PLEASE HELP feeling really helpless here? ??? I'm sure everyone knows how helpless it feels to have your whole future wrapped up with paperwork. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I have been looking at the spousal k3 visa. If anyone can clear up my question on this that would be great. From what I am reading we need to do this form. My husband came to us on visitor visa. We got married during the 90 days here in America. Do we still need to do I29f? It seems as if we must, but we are confused. I've been looking at the procedures and it says we do. Does this form only apply if he was abroad and engaged first? Please help! Thank you very much.

Hello everyone! Please excuse me if this is the wrong place to post! I am very happy to find this site! I just have a few questions that hopefully someone will be able to help me with. Me and my husband met online a couple of years ago. He finally got here in January and we were married in March. We are very happy but have been seriously confused about this paperwork! He is from Ireland and I am in the U.S. He is here with me and we were married within the 90 days. Do we have to file a I-129 at a later time? What does biometrics mean? We were told by a lawyer that this process should be relatively simple compared to others, but we are SO confused still. We have filed all the paperwork she suggested which did not include the I-129. We just sent the paperwork a few days ago but I will start the time line. We did not send a personal check we sent a cashiers check, which I am finding out now was the wrong thing to do. I also do meet the income requirements and he is not working. I want to return to school but would have to rely on loans to supplement and would have to go to part time work. Can I even do this if my income falls below the guidelines? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! good luck to everyone !
