Going to Jamaica in Dec...do we need to do anything together

[esh_piece 0]

Hi everyone,

I am going to Jamaica in December and I want to know if I need to do anything in person while I am there with my fiance or are there any forms that he needs to sign that we should at that time. Also, I hear people mentioning the no impediment record. What is that? Is it something we both need or just him? And how do we obtain this. Also, for the police record how far from the interview date can you obtain this. Is December too early?

Where are you in the process? If you filled out your timeline it would help people to answer

a Non-Impediment record is basically the same thing as an affidavit of single status. A document stating that you or he are not already married and are legally eligible to get married. Not sure what the requirements are for kingston so someone else can address whether you need that or an affidavit of single status is enough. The police clearance is generally good for 1 year but only your future spouse needs that so it doesn't need to be obtained while you are there. The medical is the one that has the shorter life span and needs to be as close to the interview as possible as the visa will only be for as long as the time remaining on the medical.

Double check the wiki and get signatures for forms that are required for both the USCIS and NVC process and have him sign in blue ink as black ink seems to be getting rejected sometimes.

The only other thing to do is relax and enjoy the time with your fiancee and take lots of pictures.

I have just started the paperwork to file for the K 1 visa.

Has he filled out the G325A yet? He needs to do that and the letter of intent- it is too early to think about the police certificate.

Have you already filed the K1 petition?

The non-impediment form is a form stating that he has never been married before. Your fiance' can obtain this from the RGD http://www.rgd.gov.jm/

I would wait to get the police record until after you get the USCIS approval.

He filled out the G325A and is mailing that back to me with the letter of intent. But I am not sure what else is coming down the line in terms of the next step of the process. Mail takes nearly 2 weeks to arrive in the US so if I can get any forms completed while I'm there that can help move things along.

Once you get the USCIS approval he will need to fill out and sign the DS230, DS156, 156K and 157

There are examples of these forms filled out here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/examples

Does he have his passport?

Make sure you take lots of pictures and keep all boarding passes and receipts

What is choice of agent 3032?

[JAPrincess 27]

What is choice of agent 3032?

choice of agent does NOT apply to a K1 visa... it is only for family members.

you do not need to do the 3032.

Sorry there is nothing to put in my timeline at this time. I haven't filed any applications yet. Is it too early to get the certificate of impediment when I go in December?

I understand now about the timeline Do you plan on submitting the I-129f before you go down?

There is no need to get the non-impediment in December, better to wait until closer to the interview. It is not really anything you can help him with, he needs to go to RGD and request it. Many people have had trouble getting the form in a timely manner from RGD tho they say they have rush processing it's not always delivered in the time frame given... I would say have him go for the non-impediment maybe 3 months after you file.

Spend your time in December enjoying each other, fill out, and have him sign the forms needed. Even the passport pictures should wait as they want recent photos (within 30 days) for the medical and interview.

It's a hurry up and wait game for true.

Thanks for the info. He filled out the forms needed to submit the application and mailed them back to me. So now I am waiting for their arrival. Do you know if I need a copy of his birth certificate to submit with the 129F application? Also, just curious what part of Jamaica is your fiance from because I had issues writing the address on the forms since in rural parts they don't use a street number.
