I-129F MAY FILERS PART 2

[frisbieprods 47]

Hi! We are getting closer to the end of this process! I'm thinking about flying out to be there for the interview, and have her fly back with me. My concern: She already filed the DS-160 that she'll be traveling alone. Has anyone read anything about whether or not we can change the DS-160? Should we be concerned about saying she's traveling alone? I tried finding answers here in the forum, but they all seemed to be a few years old. Thanks in advancd!

Thank you!    We did not receive an I-94 form at the PoE; actually just downloaded it today from the I-94 website ( https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home ) and I don't see a status/designation other than K-1.  I know that that's not helpful but... it's all I've got....

Welcome back to USA. Hope you had a good flight.

Keep her warm there LOL

It does not matter if you travel with her or not. No need to change the DS-160

When she goes to the airport all she has is her Passport and visa. It does not list in passport who if anyone she is traveling with.

So bottom line don't worry about it. 

Great if you can attend the interview with her though.

Some embassies do NOT allow so check first.

Manila is OK!

Hi my friends in VJ,

 

Just to share you that I got approved at American Embassy in Tokyo today on K-1 visa!! 

Interviewer said the visa and my passport will be sent to my place in Tokyo in a week or so but will find ticket to SFO end of Feb.

 

Here is the details I can share on interview flows.

 

My appointment of the interview was 10:30am and the letter from embassy was mentioning to arrive 15 min earlier but I went there like 9:50am and was no issue entering the door. First come first served anyway.

 

There are three times your number will be called:

 

1.Application document submission

2.Finger Prints

3.Interview

 

The question I was asked on the interview were pretty much straight forward such as:

 

1. Where and how did I meet with my fiance

2. When is the first and latest timing I met with my fiance in person and where did we meet?

3. Have I ever met any family of my fiance

4. When is my fiance's birthday

5. What made me decide I get married (describe why I thought is the right person)

6. How many times have I visited US after I met my fiance

7. Did my fiance came to Japan before?

 

The interesting question related to above 1. was I actually get to know him online first but the interviewer asked me which specific matching site or apps which was kind of bit embarrassing but I answered straightly lol

 

And for the tips for the interview, be sure to be specific on the date (when did you last visit US or his birthday) which should make the interviewer feel confident. He is taking memos to input to the PC real-time on what you answered. Also, the interviewer didn't ask me but I self brought the photos of my fiance + my parents, his parents, his sister's family photos (printed the color photos on A1 paper)  and showed the interviewer directly but I recall he made decision when I showed those photos so don't hesitate to bring those

 

FYI- 

 

@Naes, @Minori , @watahana87

 

Hope you will get your approval soon too!!

Unless there is an organized group of women traveling to marry you, she is traveling alone.

Correct. It still seems to be down, I just tried and it didn't work for me either.

@Trinab80 @Maria1989 I had hoped to stop in to see some good news from you guys but it looks like our cases are still being reviewed. I'm just coming back from Jamaica so I do have a renewed strength in our petition getting approved. I've called USCIS again and told again there is nothing wrong with my petition. No RFEs, no security alerts, nothing and the officer doesn't understand why it hasn't been approved already. I'm like if you don't understand and you work there I'm even more in the dark. Anyway hopefully the officers who have our petitions will do the right thing....approve them and stop holding the cases hostage on his desk.

Don't forget me too!

LOL...

 

The only ones that are still waiting are me, @JohnAna05823, @Maria1989, @TeeSam, and I think @NateAndJessica.

 

Just the lonesome 5 squad! Hopefully, something "magical" will happen this week. @JohnAna05823...I put my bet on you being the next to get your approval since you're the only one that actually has had their case "touched" and reviewed" once!

Fiance attended interview this morning and was asked to submit DS5535, pushing us into Administrative Processing.  Does anyone know anything about this form (why we are being asked to submit) or the AP process?

I'm sorry, how frustrating. Some get out of AP relatively quickly, but it can mean a couple more months of waiting while they run more security checks. 

 

This is about the specific form: http://www.nafsa.org/Professional_Resources/Browse_by_Interest/International_Students_and_Scholars/Form_DS-5535,_Supplemental_Questions_for_Visa_Applicants/

This is about AP in general: https://pennstatelaw.psu.edu/sites/default/files/documents/pdfs/Immigrants/Administrative-Processing-FAQ.pdf

I believe they started this from last year (result of san bernardino attack); if the fiance is from middle-east or any of the countries on the watchlist, they ask their social media accounts and travel history so that they can identify the threat profile
