Mailing K-1 package on 6-12, is the current 1-129F form still good?

[jamrok 0]

Sending K-1 package off on 6-12-06, should I wait for new 1-129F forms or the current ones are still good? Also my fiance wants to arrive with her under 21 year old child who is listed on the 1-129F form, how do I indicate this in the package, should i send in a note with the package or do separate paper work for the child...what do i do? I am confused...all help is appreciated. Thanks. Would appreciate a contact e-mail or number from someone who i can call or write to for help before i send off this package. Thanks in advance.

The new I-129F form is supposed to be coming out tomorrow. I find it unlikely that they will allow submissions on the previous versions of the form since the new form is substantially different... If you're going to file on 6-12, I would hold out for the new form.

when i first sent in the i-129f.....i had to list all children....there was nothing specific on any child that was coming with me...i think that comes later with the info for the embassy...i have 4 kids....18-26yrs old...but only 1 is coming with me....and thats what i am a little afraid of with this imbra stuff. see he is 20 and will be 21 in april of 07. so i am hoping this gets cleared up real soon....but as far as i can see, right now, just list all kids you do have, and later on you will have to state which kid is coming with you...and welcome to vj..

Just to let you know, there have been individuals that have had severe difficulty with adjusting status for their children that are between the ages of 18 and 21. Talk with Girona21 about this.. I hope that she posts here, but you can look up her old threads in the archives. She's currently getting an opinion from the BIA about this very issue...

Since USCIS requested emergency approval for June 9th, I´d also wait a little bit.

But I think at this point no one can tell when the new form will be available for filing. I mean, it sounds like it will be soon (if it´s approved tomorrow), but do you guys think they would release it on the same day?

my fiance just told me that he alreadt called uscis and asked about this...he was told that as long as he was under 21 as we were filing for adjustment of status...we were good to go

From what I understand, the problem goes to a conflict in the INA... The portion for K visas states that it is possible because they allow for K visas to be issued to people between the age of 18 to 21 and to subesquently adjust their status based on that visa. But the portion for Adjusting Status states that in order to be considered an immediate realtive the step-parent relationship has to take effect as of the 18th birthday. Only immediate relatives are eligible to adjust their status to an immigrant... So most DO's have taken the former stance, a few have taken the latter....

It's a conflict in the INA itself. That's why Girona has requested that the BIA resolve the conflict...

jamrok,

You don't. When the approved petition arrives at the consulate and the consulate sends a visa application packet to your fiancee the child applies for a visa at the same time your fiancee applies for her visa.

How much under 21 is this "under 21 year old child"? Your atypical choice of words (did you copy from somewhere?) has set off a string of posts that may or may not be applicable to you.
