Were you able to check your case status on the CEAC site? I'm still getting invalid case number errors.

Yes I was! And it still shows ‘At NVC’.

So before I got my casenumber I emailed the NVC with the request to keep me updated on any new devolpments that occur on my case. 

And Fridaynight I got an email saying that my case is undergoing necessary administrative process.. 

But nothing of that email shows up on my Casetracker.

i have some questions 

 

- what is included in the packet that is going to be sent to my fiance? 

- why are we waiting on this packet? is there something essential there? we already have our case number from NVC.  

- how can you find out where to do the medical exam? 

- what is absolutely necessary to bring to the interview? 

 

 

 

 

It's always good to check US Embassy website

https://pl.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas-fiancee-visa/the-interview/

 

- why are we waiting on this packet? is there something essential there? we already have our case number from NVC.  

With NVC number you can book medical but I would wait for that packer before booking an interview. 

 

- how can you find out where to do the medical exam? 

https://pl.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/IV-F11-ENG-Medical-examinations-information-May-2018.pdf

 

- what is absolutely necessary to bring to the interview? 

I think you'll have the answer in embassy letter but I don't think it'll be something more than:

 

Passport
The passport should be valid for at least sixty days beyond the validity date of the visa. Please remove any plastic sleeves/coverings from the passport.

Important: Each applicant should bring his/her previous passport(s) with US visas, otherwise your visa may be refused until the consular officer can review them.

UID Number
Please print out and bring to the Embassy the confirmation page of your GSS registration and passport TNT pick-up location choice. The confirmation page must contain the barcode and your UID number.

Photograph
Each applicant must submit two photos which meets all the requirements listed here.

Fiancé(e) Visa Application Form
The online DS-160 fiancé(e) visa application should be completed in English using the website:
https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/

Birth Certificate
For applicants born in Poland only complete versions of Polish birth certificates (Odpis zupełny aktu urodzenia) are accepted. Polish “short form” of birth certificate is not acceptable.

Evidence of the Termination of Prior Marriages (if applicable)
Any applicant who has been previously married must obtain evidence of the termination of each prior marriage such as final divorce decree, death certificate or annulment.

Police Certificate
Police certificates are required from every applicant aged 16 or over on the date of the interview. If the applicant has been convicted of any crime in any country, a copy of the court record of each conviction is required. For further information on how to obtain police certificate click here.

Military Records
All applicants with current or prior military service must provide military records. Military records must contain a complete record of the applicant’s service and conduct while in the service. The record must show any convictions of crime before military tribunals.

Medical Examinations

All applicants should submit the results of medical examination in the original unopened envelope. The examination will be conducted by a medical doctor designated by the Embassy. The applicant is responsible for all medical examination fees. The medical examination cannot be performed by the applicant’s own physician. For detailed information on the location of the medical centers and scheduling the medical appointment please click this link.

Financial Documents
The Affidavit of Support form I-864 is not required for K visas. However, petitioners must provide proof of adequate financial support once in the United States to ensure the applicant will not become public charges. Documentation regarding financial support can be in any form so long as it contains enough detail and information for the consular officer to conclude that the beneficiary will not become a public charge. Petitioners may submit the form I-134 if they wish.

Translations
Documents in Polish, except for court records, do not have to be translated. All documents that are not written in English or Polish must be translated into English by a certified translator.

When you file the I-129f you only are required to send copies of your documents. The Embassy requires original copies, which you can attempt to ask for the original certificates to be returned to you, but be sure to have a copy to supply to the CO for their keeping. It's up to the CO if they require to maintain the original so my advise is to always get 2-3 original copies as you will need them once you arrive in the States.

also I know I have seen this asked in here but now I can’t find the answer. What are we supposed to put for question 38 on the I-134. If you intend or do not intend to make specific contributions?

In the new revised I-134 form dated 2018 - Question #38 now regards contributions.  You leave the yes/no boxes "unchecked" and your explanation is submitted in Part 7 on page 8 of the new form.  

 

You will do this:

3.a. "Page 4"

3.b. "Part Number 3"

3.c. "Item Number 38"

3.d. "N/A (K1 Visa Process For Permanent Residence)"

Question: I just started a job as an attorney and will be making well over the poverty line but I didn’t last year as I lived in Belgium with my fiancé so I am having my mom be a co-sponser. She is still married to my dad does she put him as a dependant on the i-134 form she fills out, he has his own job but lives with her so I’m confused on what to tell her to put. They file taxes together.

Do you have an Employment letter stating that you are employed, your title and your salary? If so then you just need to provide the rest of the information requested. A letter of employment is evidence enough that beneficiary will not become a public charge. In your case, a co-sponsor should not be required. Most Embassy's do not accept co-sponsors. Check your with those in your sub-forum for your Country here on VJ.

 

Other items required for the interview

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT. You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge or be a burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form K1/K2 Interview Preparation Instructions – English (February 2014)  Page 3 of 9 with original signature will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner’s ability to be financially responsible for you. You should also submit your petitioner’s most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included to substantiate the I-134.

Thanks so much! I am the USC, so I'm wondering if I will have to send him my original documents-- something I'm not feeling too keen on.

Guys im confused about how many years of IRS is needed because we just have one year ...

 

Can u please address me where is that requirement.. 

 

Thank you in advance for ur answers!

 

Also i understand that :W2, IRS, paystubs, work letter, bank statement, affidavit what else we need?

The requirement for the IRS information has been three years but most Embassy's have gone to one year. If you only have one year then that's all you are going to be able to submit. Get the IRS tax transcripts, they are much easier to deal with. https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

 

What else is required:

EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT. You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge or be a burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form K1/K2 Interview Preparation Instructions – English (February 2014)  Page 3 of 9 with original signature will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner’s ability to be financially responsible for you.

Thank you, really I have heard using another Sponsor is generally not a problem. And yes I do have my work contract I can give him but don’t I need to show I made above the line last year on my tax return because I didn’t since I just started my job

No because they are more interested if you are capable of being supported (beneficiary) or supporting (petitioner) for the future years. You'll need to explain your current position plus supply supporting financials as indicated.

I guess you didn't take the time to view the links. But I know you appreciated that someone made the effort to help even if there was info mixed in from another Embassy maybe by mistake. But thanks for pointing that out so I can repair it for the next couple who will appreciate the help.
