Received my NVC letter in the mail today ! 

Good luck to everyone who's still awaiting approvals and NVC case numbers ! 

So NVC does send letters or you requested one? In the NOA2 hardcopy they say we get a letter from NVC but I read here they do it only upon request.

Yes they do send out letters but it came after I already got my case number. Was misinformed that they didn't send but it looks like they do.

Thank you, i hope it's approved soon. This waiting game is really frustrating. I keep checking the app time to time.

 

we are planning to get married on July 22, so i hope we can finish this process before then. 

 

I know what you mean. I'm Bel from PH btw. We only checked once a week and tried not to think too much about it. My Mom has been telling me we should've hired a lawyer like she suggested. But having done a lot of research and double checked the requirements, I knew I can do it. However, we got an RFE. We sent everything they needed though. Missed ticking a question on the I129f and my fiance overlooked it too before printing. Hoping that's the only reason for the RFE. Good luck to both of us.  Hope getting a schedule for the interview at the Embassy here in Manila is quick.

NOA 2 today! Finally! 142 days from case received and 12 days from them receiving our RFE reply.

 

I'm so relieved. Now just to wait for case number from NVC so i can move on to booking my medical. Closest certified dr is a plane trip away and would be nice to be able to save a little on flights for at least one of the trips going to have to make!

The reason you're not getting responses is because this is the December filer's thread. It's for people who submitted their entire packet all the way back in December and need a place to discuss the ongoing wait and process. So this is not really the place for this question. If you post this as its own thread on the main K1 board you'll get more responses.

 

Since nobody has responded I'll respond quickly. Below I've pasted a list of things you need. I'm not sure if you have more than what you posted here, but based on what you wrote here it's not enough. You need two fiance letters of intent (one for each, you and fiance) and two G-325a forms (one for each, you and fiance) and sets of passport photos (one set for each, you and fiance), AND (NOT OR) petitioner birth certificate, divorce certs for you and fiance as applicable, and exact filing fee. All docs must be signed and dated. And you didn't state where fiance is from, but if they have documents that are not originally in English they must be translated fully and be accompanied by a signed and dated certificate of translation (for each one). You must be extremely careful on this collecting and assembling step because it can waste a lot of time if you leave things out.

 

http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide:

 

Forms Needed to File for a K-1 Fiance Visa:

1. I-129F
2. G-325a
3. G-1145 (optional)

The above forms can be filled out on your computer and printed. Make sure you sign and date them as required. Anything you cannot fit by typing, you can handwrite (very neatly) in black ink in the blank instead. You should always verify the current forms at www.uscis.gov.

Assembling the I-129F Package: Checklist   
Forms and Documents (follow these assembly instructions. All supporting documents must be in English or be translated as noted here.):

1. Payment as required by USCIS. Use a personal check so you can track the payment. Money Orders are also accepted. Read the Guide to Paying USCIS Immigration Fees. 2. Cover Letter (see example). Should include a description of what your are petitioning for (I-129F), a table of contents (list everything in the packet). If you need additional room to explain your case, attach a separate sheet (list the attachment on the cover sheet). Make sure to sign and date the cover sheet. 3. Form I-129F: Petition for Alien Fiance (see example) 4. Declaration of how you met in person in the last two years. This should be a single typed page attachment regarding question '34.a' of the I-129F. Make sure to sign and date it. 5. Original statements (from both the US Citizen and foreign fiance) certifying an intent to marry within 90 days of entering the US on a valid K-1. (see example) 6. Proof of having met in past two years. (click here for examples) 7. G-325A filled out by the US Citizen with their information, signed and dated (see example). 8. One passport-type photo (see specification) of the US Citizen. Write the full name of the US citizen on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert US Citizen's Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a. 9. G-325A filled out by the foreign fiance with their information, signed and dated (see example). 10. One passport-type photo (see specification) of the foreign fiance. Write the full name of the foreign fiance on the back. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of (insert foreign fiance name) ". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the corresponding G-325a. 11. Copy of the Birth certificate (front and back) for the US Citizen or a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport issued with a validity of at least 5 years or a copy of the US Citizen's naturalization certificate (front and back). This is used to establish citizenship. 12. Copy of final Divorce Decree(s) or Certificate(s) for the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance if either has been previously married. If the previous marriage of the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance ended due to the death of their spouse then include a Copy of Death Certificate(s) documenting that fact. 13. Proof of Legal Name Change if either the US Citizen and/or foreign fiance is using a name other than that shown on the relevant documents. You must give USCIS copies of the legal documents that made the change, such as a marriage certificate, adoption decree or court order. 14. In regards to Section C Question 2, if applicable provide certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for any specified conviction(s) (in accordance with the IMBRA). See section 9 of the I-129f instructions for more information.

 

So sorry, I realized afterwards that it was the December filer's thread. I'm new on the forum and I still have to figure out the website. Anyway, thank you for answering me and taking the time to help me. I really appreciate it!

If you met online , include info about website that you met , make sure is free site or one that both of you paid same amount for it , It seams to be lots of RFE ( request for evidence ) because of that , need pictures about 7-8 no more than 12 , all forms needs original signature not photocopy . Copy of plane boarding passes, copy of sponsors entry stamps in passport (make sure passport number is visible,needs to bend page because on us passport that is not visible when you open it on entry stamps page.Not sure what G1145 is ? needs also your letter of intent ,his original signature on his and yours . Hotel receipt I have both names on it with hotel clerk signature on it to her and mine signature also  .   Look on YouTube lot of videos about what you may need ,Very helpful!!  . Any personal love story is not necessary it  just makes it look unprofessional . I wrote " We met on free  Skout dating site and I visit her few months ago and stayed in every day contact since than " And that did it ! Don't forget to send proper fee and sign all forms . With G form need I think 2 pictures sign on back in pencil + date of birth put in plastic bag and attach to form . Check everything for few days over and over again before sending it .  Good luck. You will be together in 6 months or so . Lot of patience !   

Thank you so much!!

 

We met in person so we don't have to be worried about that. The G-1145 is the E-notification but it's only if you ask for it. We'll ask for it, it won't hurt in this long process! We are going to put everything together this week and hopefully send it the next one!

 

Thank you again for everything!!

HI . if you are beneficiary , your job dos not matter. It is a sponsors assets, income that are counted ,make sure sponsor can support beneficiary when in US. Income needed must be above poverty line in US . Don't matter how many jobs beneficiary has , total income from taxes is looked on .

Hey all!

 

For those who have filled out the i-134 and included an answer to the real estate question do you have to include proof someone of that real estate? If my co-sponsor put their real estate value (house) do they need to show proof of that? If so, what kind of proof is necessary? And will that need to be included in those additional questions on page 7 where you can explain stuff?

 

Thanks in advance!

I just include value of assets and how much equity is there , you don't need to include any proof  , any way it will show up on  tax return,  that sponsor have assets , is good to have it when going for interview to embassy ( some banks showing property equity on statements ) , but chance is that they will not ask for it , most likely they will just look at recent tax return . But if sponsor don't have enough income to show it may be very important to have proof of assets with you . ( Just red your post again , think same would be applicable to sponsor ) Do some more research about it .

Head similar issue, her passport was stolen . (Not sure what you men visa stolen , passport stolen think you meant  ? ) Just say the truth , passport was stolen , reported stolen / missing, and replaced . And when it happened. Guessing should be fine within a year or so since it was so long ago. That's what we did and was no problem .

Hey Swiss 

No I didn't request any.

Contents includes :

Stating they have received your fiancé approved petition I-129F from USCIS and NVC will now forward the petition to the US Embassy or Consulate in your fiancé country and the embassy will contact your fiancé when they are ready to process his/her petition. 

 

Letter includes also:

Case Number 

USCIS receipt #

Principal Applicant

Petitioner 

Interview Location
