I am gathering as much information as I can about the K-1 Visa. The objective would be for my girlfriend and I to start to file it once we know the details of the process, as I would be the one moving to the US. Throughout my research on this website and others, I've been able to draw a timeline potentially, but I have several questions and I hope one of you might be able to bring the lights on my questions.

1) I saw that no evidence of financial support is required when filing the I-129F form. When will this be required? I read the I-134 form might be filed before the interview process at the Embassy/Consulate but I would like to know about your experience. Also, the I-864 form must be filed when Adjusting the status when I would arrive in the U.S ?

2) My girlfriend left her job 4 months ago and plans to find another job soon. So far, even if she left, she earned in 2024, above 125% of HHS Poverty Guidelines (we plan to be a household of 2). She also had a steady income for 3 straight years before leaving. We know having a joint sponsor is a possibility but I was wondering with her situation only, if that would be possible to immigrate financially wise? Also how many pay stub, tax returns are needed, and for how long they should be dating back for the I-134 form and I-864 form?

Thank you very much in advance!

My husband tried to file I-130 via the uscis website but he can't pay and submit the form. It always shows Pending Client Signature as show in the picture. Please help us to go to the next step.

Hi everyone I m going to fill out the affidavit of support form as a cosponsor for my God son. The petitioner is signing the affidavit for his mom (the fianc e).

question

Can I send scan copy of the I-864 to the embassy or does it need to be original with signature?

Does the petitioner have to note somewhere that they are using a cosponsor for the child of their finance or do I simple fill out the form stating I m the cosponsor?

also, is it necessary for a cosponsor if the petitioner makes over $30,000 with no dependent?
I want to increase the chances of my friend getting approved so would it help that I sign for my God since I make a very decent income with no dependents right now.

FYI, I m filing for my parents but with my income I will still meet the guidelines.

Thank you

Hi all,

I have read that the recommendation is to apply and get the SSN before getting married which is what we are likely to do, however, has anybody applied for it after getting married and if so were there any issues?

Hope you can help!

Hi Community

We received a letter from the embassy that we are eligible to file a medical i601 waiver after IR1 interview

The address on the letter from the consulate General does not match the address on the i601 - where to file - page.

I assume we should follow the one on the i-601 website, but I want to make sure before we mail it in.

I wrote to the embassy but they are taking their time replying and we want to move forward with the application.

Do you know which is the correct address? Also when shipping with UPS, what should I write down for phone# and contact person?
