NEWBIE FILING FOR K1

[Megbo Fosho 1]

HIII everyone!! I always look on here to see peoples posts so I decided to finally sign up!! Me and my fiance are trying to finish up all the paper work for the K1 visa and get it sent ASAP like this week. We want it to be as perfect as we can so we dont have to go through complications with filling anything out wrong.

For those who have sent yours already, which is the best place to send it to be filed?? I'm seeing Vermont & California and then a USCIS Dallas Lockbox...not sure which I'm suppose to send to. I'm from Orlando and he is from the UK so I know his embassy is London.

Also....who do we make the check/money order out to?? Any and ALL help is appreciated. we want this so bad and know it takes time & lots of patience

You have to send your petition to the Dallas Lockbox. Make the check out to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (<---- exactly as written, do not abbreviate DHS).

Did you read this??? : http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf

It's very informative, all you need to know. and if you still have questions you can come back and ask or search for answers.

You send it to the Dallas Lock Box. They then forward it to either the Vermont or California Service Centers depending on where you live. Since you're in Florida it'll more than likely go to Vermont.

thank you both for responding so fast!! and yes I have read the link u sent over n over just to make sure I have everything on the check list lol. He went and applied for a B2 visa a couples months ago so that he could stay with me longer in the states and he was denied. thus we decided the k1 would be the best way to be together and start a real life....should we include a short statement about his denial and add it to the package?

A letter is probably not needed, but it shouldn't hurt either. They will know that he was denied the visa so, just make sure you put down if it is asked that yes, he was denied a visa before.

Welcome to the forum.

There is no need for a short statement now about a previous visa denial. That information will be asked for later on at the consulate interview phase, specifically Form DS-156, question 31.

Good luck on your visa journey.
