K-1 Visa

[Ryan+Mandi 0]

Hey guys. I'm new here, I came to this site many months ago but forgot my username and password. Anyway I have a few questions on the I-129F and the G-325A form.

I-129F

1- How many copies are you supposed to send to the USCIS service center, in our case it's nebraska? How many copies should we create?

2- For providing proof of evidence, we sent copies rather than originals right?

3- In the "State/Country" field, is it ok if we abbreviate the State, like in the case of Missouri we can use "MO/USA"?

4- In the US Social Security field, what is the "A# (if any)" field? Both of us have social security cards.

5- In question #10 for the petitioner, if she was born in the US, does she fill in the field where it says to put the certificate number, date and place it was issued?

6- For question #18, how would we go about wording that? How we met or what? Any tips on that?

G-325-A

1- Major question here. There seems to be, 4 pages of the same form on the g-325a. Do we fill out all 4 pages exactly as it is or can we just fill out the whole first page and then just sign the others? Would it apply for me too (the alien fiance)?

2- Sort of related to the above question, but we sent all four pages of the G-325A to the USCIS service center? How many copies would you recommend we have?

3- For me, the alien fiancee, what is my alien registration number? Do I even have one?

4- Where it says, "this form is submitted in connection with application for:", do we put naturalization since I'm going to get naturalized or what?

One last question, in taking out passport size photographs, it needs to be 30 days old or newer right, in the format it specified in the I-129F?

I-129F

1. Send original to the service center and keep at least 2 copies for yourselves.

2. Copies are fine.

3. Yes its ok.

4. The A number is the alien registration number. If your fiance was born in the US she will not have one. If you have worked in the US you will have one. I see by the next question that you have a SSN. Its a number given to immigrants, those on most working visas and J2 visa holders.

5. If you look at the example form (available in the tab at the top of the page) you will note that this section is for Naturalization Certificate number.

6. You can put a simple short answer and then 'see attached sheet'. On the attached sheet, describe how you met in some detail. The evidence you then provide of having met will support that statement.

G-325-A

1. Yes. If you note, the bottom of each page is slightly different. You both need to complete all 4 pages that make up the G-325A. You both need to fill out your own G-325A and sign each page. There is fillable forms available. Look on either the USCIS site (the downloadable form available in the tab section at top of page is linked to the one on the USCIS site) or you can go to visapro.com If you have any problems auto filling the form, you can download a trial version of Acrobat pro 7 from my signature.

2. Again, as for the I-129F, 2 copies should be kept by yourselves.

3. See my answer under I-129F

4. You would put 'Other' Petition for Alien Fiance.

See the example form.

Re passport photos.....Yes, they need to be to those specifications.

Good luck on your journey.

Take a look at the guides here on VJ and also the example forms, both are really helpful!

After checking the guides if you have any more doubts (almost everyone does have doubts at some point ) feel free to check back with us.

And don´t forget to update your timeline!

Thanks for the information guys. My fiancee will be going back on the 11th of may, so once she sends in the forms how long will the total processing time take for the I-129F to get approved in the nebraska service center. I checked the processing times page around VJ, but it doesn't give an approximate timeline it seems.

right now processing time for NSC is 80-110 days

I am waiting for my NOA2 and its been 2 months since my NOA1 from NSC.

Good Luck!

Question here about the Affadavit of support form. It seems there are two of them, one is the I-130 and the other I-184A. Is it dependent on the embassy in the foreign country. I live in New delhi india.

Questions on the affadavit of support.

1- Would we go by the 2005 poverty guidelines or 2006?

2- In household size, everyone living there is related to her except her stepdad. No relation to her, her mom re married. So would we include him in the household size.

3- Related to the above question, if we are going to add another sponsor, namely her stepdad, it's the combined income of both her and him right?

4- When she and/or her stepdad add their combined income, is that inclusive or not exclusive of the taxes e.g. federal, social security? Basically, say she's making 7 dollars an hour. What would we put in the per annum. The taxes part confuse me. Haha.

Im assuming you meant to say I-134 or I-864 and the other I-864A as the I-130 is a petition not an affidavit of support.

The I-134 is used for K visas. I have noted a couple of occasions where India (?) gave a choice of either I-134 or I-864 but it does clearly state in the FAM that I-864 must not be used for K visas.

You will be using the 2006 poverty guidelines.

Her stepdads income would need to meet the poverty guidelines in total when using the I-134. Using a household members income to qualify a sponsors affidavit of support is only used with the I-864 for an immigrant visa or when adjusting status in the US....an I-864A is also then used.

For me, the foreign fiance, if I have a social security number I would label it on the forms right? Or do I not? SSN numbers expire?
