Somone told me that for K1 Visa the petitioner alone must meet minimum income requirements and CANNOT have a co-sponsor. Is this true?

3AD

I am having the same issue as you are 3AD. My fiancee got deny twice already. I don't know what to do as of this time. I might ask for help from the state's senators. Hope they can give a voice about our problem.

Best of luck 3AD

Duc Uyen,

The next step is to get married in Vietnam and file for a K-3 Spousal Visa.

[Duc_Uyen 0]

I think it is true 3AD. I have my dad as a joint sponsor and that ain't work out either

For sure that I will go back to Vietnam and get marry then file K-3. That will take another year and a half for us to be with each other 4ever. It kinda such but you have no other choice.

Take care,

Duc

I asked you this question in the K-1 forum but you didn't answer.

What does the green 221(g) denial letter say? What exactly does it ask for?

I went through HCMC with a co-sponsor and passed.

If you need a co-sponsor now, you will need one with a K-3. You should find out the exat reason for denial and try to correct it. Even if you file K-3, there is no guarantee you will pass. Being married is not a guarantee for any visa.

Scy,

True, there is NO guarantee by getting married will lead to Visa issuance, but it is the next option. I must say, you're right about not to get over the simplest thing... asking Duc_Uyen what were noted on their 221(g) is a good question.

Usually they do not just flat-out deny one's case. Is it a DENY/REJECT/RETURN or DELAY, requesting for more evidence/information? Please be clear on this... Another tool you can use is contacting your Congressman to intervention.

Please, come back with detail reason why they "deny" your case (i hope it's just a DELAY)

Thank you

Hello everyone.

I somehow stumbled onto this site. Seems like a great place for us Visa seekers.

I'm still a real newbie about the whole imigration process, but I have learned a lot since I discovered this site.

It's nice to have company during these "trying times".

Welcome newbies....it sucks that a little while back the powers that be here decided to erase all the threads for some reason. (maybe a good reason..maybe bad..I don't know.) ...there was ALOT of good stuff that used to on here including SEVERAL posts from an immigration attourney who specialized in VN cases and an actual consulate officer who had been posted at HCMC untill recently...That doesn't even include all the valuable input from all off the members who went through HCMC already. ...Anyhow...I still come back here from time to time to see what is going on and would be more than happy to help out if need be. Good to see chuck and kim still here...probably few other vets around as well to help out. Good luck to everyone.

How come "pxtran" got his interview date and never informed us what happened with the interview?

Haven't seen a post from him for over a month. Did he change his name to "kvtran" and start over?

This is like chicagoman all over again.

I'm not too happy with yellow either. I can't believe his case has been sitting in HCMC since December without pack 3 being issued. Maybe he got cold feet. He hasn't been to VisaJourney since January. If Matt or any of you other NOA2s get to HCMC before I hear from him again, he will be banished from the list.

Hello everyone. Sorry, It's been a while since I posted in the forum because I just got back from VN. I graduated in January and immediately booked tickets to go see my fiancee in Hue since I couldn't bare being apart no longer. The two months that I spent with her was the most fun i've ever had in my life. To update on our status, we never did receive our pack 3. Lien met me in Saigon for my arrival and we both went to the embassy to pick pack3 up. I think that was on Jan. 20th. We took pack3 back to Hue and sent it out on Feb. 10th. Lien called in to check our status again about 2 weeeks ago, and they told her to call back in April to know her medical exam date and interview date. I just got back about a week or so, and she's been crying everyday. I told her not to be so sad so we could have the energy to wait for each other. Anyways, it's nice to be back in the forum.

Oh Good. We missed you! I know how hard that leaving can be. That's rough.

Sorry, I'm no way related to pxtran. I think you've got the wrong person.

I've been pretty quiet on VJ lately.... Just to let you all know. Lan (my fiance) has her interiew in HCMC on March 29. I've already sent her all the documents/materials needed for the interview. I know HCMC is a difficult consulate to deal with but we are pretty damn well prepared! Wish us luck and I will post a followup after the interview.

Awesome, Landy. We all here are pulling for you. Good luck !
