where do you get this from?

Is the secondary inspection usual for PoE with K1?

Thank you and yes, I would. However, I can’t access sites like the one you posted. Must be because of my region being Germany. I will forward it to my fiancée so she can check.

Illinois. I was going to look at everything regarding that once I’m there. Or is there anything specific I gotta figure out beforehand ? other than that, thanks to all of you for your kind replies 😊

Hello, I received my K1 visa in October. My trip to the U.S. is coming closer and I am figuring out everything necessary for Port of Entry and the first days within the country. If you follow the official information, you only need: the sealed package from the embassy, your passport with the visa, police certificate (original?) birth certificate (original?) and the documents from the medical exam. Is that all that's required? For the first steps after entry I have this as my focus: obtaining SSN (after 2 weeks of entering) look into how to obtain U.S. drivers license get married Is there anything I am totally missing here? Feel free to provide some insight

I just noticed the 01 behind my Case number when checking the status in the case tracker. I haven't had my interview yet. What would that minor revision be for?

Interesting. The earliest medical I could get was 24th of september so then the earlierst visa interview date was october 7th, 3 days after our NOA2 expiraiton date. I also emailed them and they just wanted an updated letter of intent as well, but not specifically asking for any reasons why we didnt pursue the visa earlier.

okay, thank you. No, they are not.

Okay thank you so much. Just to make sure again, because I have been reading different approaches to this. We are now using one individual from that married couple as the joint sponsor. He made 21k on his last tax return. His new job has a set salary of 45k yearly. He just started that new job. My fiancée made 11k on her latest tax return and starts her new job with a salary of 54k this September. -So for my fiancée's I-134 we put down 54k for sponsor’s income in Part 3 Question #14, correct? She stays at her parents house currently with both parents and her sister. Do we list them on the form as well? From my understanding, no. -For the joint sponsor's I-134 we put down 45k in the income table, correct? He lives with his spouse, household of two. Do we list the spouse on the form as well? The reason I am asking again are these two informations I found: "The same analysis is used when reporting the sponsor’s income in Part 3 Question #14. Enter the name of the sponsor, all dependents, their date of birth, and the dependents’ relationship to the sponsor. Indicate the sponsor’s income and apportion it among the dependents and the sponsor. Enter the number of dependents and the total income. It is important that the sponsor not include any income or financial support the sponsor intends to provide to the beneficiary. That information is entered in Part 3 Question #21." "Your current income is the gross amount you expect to earn this year. If you have an annual salary of $36,000 and this is your only job, your current income is likely $36,000. However, if you started the year unemployed and began working on May 1, your current income would likely be approximately $24,000. (That’s because 8 of 12 months would be ¾ of $36,000.) Don’t confuse current income with your tax return. Your tax return shows a history of your income."

I was reaching out to them because my interview date would fall a few days behind the NOA2 expiration date. The "approved K1 petition" is the NOA2 and that is good for 4 months. It's 6 month from the medical exam date that your K1 visa is valid. So I think its is not necessarily automatically extended. Probably will be in most cases, but I wanted to make sure.

I don't think that's true. I reached out to the Frankfurt embassy and they responded with this: Dear visa applicant, Our records show that you are the beneficiary of a K1 fiancé(e) visa petition. An approved K1 visa petition is valid for a period of 4 months from the date of approval. Your fiancé(e) would need to send us a signed revalidation letter, stating that both of you remain legally free to marry, and that you continue to intend to marry each other within 90 days after your admission into the United States. This statement can be forwarded to our office by email.

Ok great, thank you. Meaning if he as a fixed salary per year, we can put that number down?

I have another question regarding assembling the I134f form with a joint sponsor. If the joint sponsor starts a new job in September and earns around 45k yearly there, do we put that amount down on the I-134f? Or the amount listed in the most recent tax return?

Only thing I could find was that when the joint sponsor is a married couple and files everything jointly, their income can be counted together. Then Form I-864A needs to be filled out additionally by one of them. However, this form is attached to the I-864 financial support form, which in return is not part of the K1 process..

Does someone have some insight on this aspect? Would their income be combined as they file their taxes jointly and share the same bank account? I got the part that it would not be combined with my fiancé's income. Meaning that it should not affect her in any way? Is there any official information on this? I couldn't find any.. Okay, then in the case of a K1 visa with I-134 it does not play a part either, good to know. Thank you for your responses, very kind.

Hello, We just received our NVC case number and are in some confusion currently. My fiancé (petitioner) does not meet the income requirements for the I-134 yet, as she only starts her full time job in September. She can list around 10k on the I-134. Now we are in between two options for a joint sponsor. 1. Married couple (friends of us, hosehold of 2) each of them made around 20k on last 1040 tax return. They filed their taxes jointly, would we include their combined income (40k) on a separate I-134? If just one of them can be the sponsor, are the 20k income then combined with my fiancé's 10k ? (=30k in total, meaning well above the poverty guidelines) 2. her sister (different household) she makes more than enough, although she is worried if it affects her chances of buying a house and a new car once she becomes my K1 sponsor. Could being my sponsor it affect her in any way? Assuming I do not need any of her financial resources obviously. Some insight here would be appreciated.

What was the inquiry you made? By call or email? I see thank you

Hi, I have a quick question for you. did they NOA1 come via mail? we only received the NOA2 in the mail (June 6th). And furthermore, what did you do after the NOA2? Simply wait for the Case# from NVC?

so the bottom line here could just be that the NVC processing times are longer than they used to be. From the K1 flowchart (https://www.visajourney.com/guides/k1-fiance-visa-flowchart/ it would only be around 4 weeks.

What exactly do you mean by that ?:)

Hey guys, Got another quick question- do you think it’s possible with my history to get a Tourist visa to attend my fiancees graduation in may? The K1 will already be filed by then.

It was a refused admission, no removal or anything. you sure I can ignore the whole section? I saw a YouTube video guiding through the I129 says to fill out regardless.. So I leave it completely blank and don’t even put the I-94 record number or my passport number ? Ok, so 38a. - 38h. stays blank?

This is what my I-95 says. Shouldn’t I put that exact information into the I129 form as well then ?

Makes sense. I just don’t know if I should include my last actual visit where I stayed for a semester aboard in 2021, or where I was refused admission at POE while traveling with ESTA. I should go with the most recent entry on the I-95 probably, which would be the refused admission one?

Hey, i collected some questions regarding the K1 process as information differs in some ways across the internet. Proof of relationship: Is it appropriate to include booking conf., boarding passes, 1-3 photos and maybe screenshot of a text message for each occasion where my fiancée visited me in Germany ? She visited 4 times in the past 2 years and we also had two vacations. So that would already be quite a lot documentation I feel like, maybe too much? Title Page proof of evidence: In the K1 Guide it says to include a single page that has a brief description of the last meeting (same text as in Form I129f) and a list with all the evidence provided. On the website of a law firm it says to include a declaration letter that goes more into a detailed description of the relationship, the sample there is about 1 page long. Does someone have an opinion on that ? Documents to include - I-95 travel record: Is just this one page that you can download, or is there more to it ? - My last attempt to enter the U.S. was refused (ESTA), hence my I-95 says “UNKNOWN” for “Stay permitted until”. Should I put this in the box on the I129f? -Should I include my passport (beneficiary)? So far we included the front page and my US visa page with the stamps -Should I include sth like a transcript from the school I went to as an exchange student in the US? If someone takes the time to reply to this, I would be really happy :)) thank you! Michael
