US Immigration from Vietnam

Hello Everyone,

I am the petitioner and was wondering if my fiancee will need my original birth certificate or will a copy be enough for the k-1 interview? My Fiancee said that she needs my original birth certificate for the interview.

Thank you!

I've searched the forum on this, and as far as I know, you have a year to file your visa application once your I-130 petition gets approved and your case reaches the NVC stage.

In my case, I think I will need more than a year. Few reasons:

- the COVID situation in the U.S.

- I have a baby on the way, and I don't want to fly to the U.S. too soon after she's born

- and probably the most relevant reason... my business was impacted by COVID this year, and as of today, I don't meet the I-864 income requirements.

So my wife and I want to stay put (in Vietnam) until my business recovers and I have a year's worth of proof that I actually meet the income requirements. If things pick up again in 2021, then it won't be until mid-2022 until I build a paper trail long enough to back up my case. If not longer.

When my case reaches the NVC stage (assuming my petition gets approved sometime in the next few months), how can I delay my case at the NVC stage?

How long can I delay it? One extra year? Indefinitely?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

My Fiance in Vietnam has been a Freelance worker for a U.S. company for 1 year now. Although technically a freelancer, her schedule and hours are equivalent to a full-time worker in the U.S.

For the K1 interview (and beyond), what documentation and information does she need to request of her boss? (Founder/CEO)

Letter of employment with company letterhead? Her PayPal records showing her steady monthly payments from the company's PayPal account?

Thanks!

Hi all,

We understand that a family tree (both sides) is almost certainly required nowadays for the K1 interview. (Ho Chi Minh City)

Can someone point us in the right direction on what exactly to include? Is there a popular format or template to follow?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I introduced my Vietnamese Fiance to my siblings in the U.S. via video chat over a year ago. Since then, they've kept in touch through Facebook Messenger.

My question is, do I need to ask my siblings to write a letter detailing when and how they met, what type of person they know my Fiance to be, their plans to meet face-to-face in 2021, etc.?

Does that ever come up or get asked in a K1 interview?

Thanks!
