Hello All,

Im relatively new to the site, just became a member last month, and I am really enjoying everything this site has to offer :) . My fiance and I are in the process of applying for a K1 visa and I will be mailing the petition in the next week or so. Has anyone else that has done a K1 know about the need for fingerprints? I checked the USCIS website about fingerprints and all it says is that "some" immigration forms require fingerprint cards to be done, but it doesnt specify which ones. Are we required to have our fingerprints done to get the K1 visa? Ive been trying to get a hold of a real live person on the phone at USCIS for two days, but its like trying to move molasses uphill in January. Tips/Advice?

I came here on the K-1, and I didnt have to do any fingerprints for that part of the process.

Maybe they mean when you get your Police Check done and you have a record, then you have to get your fingerprints sent in.

Thats just MO thou.

Someone will correct me if I am wrong :yes:

Still waiting for our cards...Had to file I-90 as they sent them to the wrong address.

Filed Waiver for my son's 10 year GC and it was approved. He finally received his GC after its been missing for 2 years.

Thanking God this is over for 10 years.

Fingerprints are required for the beneficiary during the process. Sometimes USCIS asks the petitioner to give fingerprints, although these are uncommon. There is nothing you can do ahead of time however. You can't preemptively submit fingerprints. If fingerprints are required, they will be asked for.

They also mentioned on the USCIS website that fingerprint fees are to be paid upfront. Since I am the petitioner, should I go ahead and pay the fingerprint fees with my petition fee and wait for them to contact my fiance about getting his prints done?

I think the fee is paid at the time of the fingerprinting...but then, if i'm wrong someone will be sure to step up and say so :)
