Help with filling out K1 visa forms Please

[David R 2]

Hi Everyone,

My fiancée and I are in the process of putting the final touches on our K1 visa application. We feel that we have covered all the bases. However, we just wanted to get some clarification on a few application questions if possible.

1) Does the birth certificate need to be an original or a notarized copy or can it just be a photocopy?

2) In Q10 in the I-129F petition the US citizen was acquired through birth in the US. Do we really leave the rest of Q10 blank after checking the birth in the US box?

3) We do not have an Alien registration number. Do we need this and if so how would we obtain one?

We know these questions are probably really basic but we just wanted to cover all bases before we submit our application. We would hate for the process to take longer just because we filled out a question incorrectly.

Thank you so much for your time.

Copy of BC is fine DO NOT send any originals to the USCIS.

check off what applies to the USC leave the rest blank!

3) We do not have an Alien registration number. Do we need this and if so how would we obtain one?

you can put N/A because you don't have an alien registration number.

Hi Everyone,

1) Does the birth certificate need to be an original or a notarized copy or can it just be a photocopy? A photocopy, front and back, of your original certified birth certificate will suffice.

2) In Q10 in the I-129F petition the US citizen was acquired through birth in the US. Do we really leave the rest of Q10 blank after checking the birth in the US box? Yes (and be sure to include birth cert. as mentioned above)

3) We do not have an Alien registration number. Do we need this and if so how would we obtain one? If the answer is none, insert "none". (Follow the Form I129F instructions)

We know these questions are probably really basic but we just wanted to cover all bases before we submit our application. We would hate for the process to take longer just because we filled out a question incorrectly.

Thank you so much for your time.

Thanks so much guts!!

No problem.

The order of reading that I did was: first, the government form instructions, second, the VJ forum guides, third, the forum's example forms. After that sequence I felt that I understood and could appropriately complete and submit my petition and supporting documents and evidence.

YMMV

Good luck on your visa journey.

Make sure your photocopy of birth cert. is the entire page. I had to readjust the copier to reduce the cert. to make sure all of information was copied, especially the bottom section where the seal was embossed.

The other info is correct.
