Is an ESTA still required if I have a K1 visa?
a-jay13 replied to a-jay13's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Thanks so much! You definitely put my mind at ease 😄 -
Hello 😊 I fly to the States on Thursday to begin the next chapter of my life with my very soon to be wife. I think it's a no, but do I still need an ESTA alongside my K-1? Just wanna be safe, so apologies if this is a super silly question to ask! Thanks.

London medical, COVID booster required?
-
Yes it's the same thing. I had my medical and they told me I needed a covid booster. I went to a private pharmacy and told them, paid for it, they gave me a certificate thing which I then emailed to the medical visa place. Make sure you get evidence of the shot so you can take it to the medical with you 😊

K1 Expiry date
a-jay13 replied to Larry Pieniazek's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Oh my gosh. This makes so much sense now. Had my K1 interview yesterday and they told me a date I wasn't expecting but now I understand. Thanks! -
It's 2024.. Why are we sending in paper?
a-jay13 replied to DinaBill's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
To be honest, the paper thing doesn't bother me too much. Yes, it's 2024 and I'd rather NOT, but for this reason I didn't mind. Especially considering the DS-160 was online and oh my god it was not user friendly. Kept crashing and kicking me out every 3 minutes. What bothered me most about the paper thing though was that I printed an entire packet of "evidence of relationship" which cost me like £25 to print in colour, and they didn't even ask for it at the interview! The biggest thing they need to look at in my opinion is actually making an effort to personalise visa journeys - why say we need evidence if we actually only need 4 documents and 1 passport style photo in total? -
Quick update. Had the interview this morning. It went very well, very quick, they were lovely. Can confirm, joint sponsors are accepted in the London embassy. Got my approval within 30 minutes of sitting in the room waiting to be called by officers 😊

I keep hearing the documents required are very few and actually, the evidence of our relationship won't be asked for. I've still got it all anyway, just in case! Thank you for the insight on questions, super helpful. I had my medical last month, all was fine!

Oh this is amazing!!! Thank you so much for your reply. Yeah there is plenty of information in my packet and I'm definitely feeling more confident about it now so, thanks! And also congrats!!!

If this part of the process came through late last year, it would not have been a problem. But I had to give up work because my best friend was dying of brain cancer and i was looking after his 5 year old child. I have only just managed to get back to work full time but my savings ran dry. This year has not been easy and believe me, the fact I cannot self self sponsor is a gut punch. So... hope that helps your intrigue. And thanks, I keep hearing about the I 864 being the important one. We'll be fine for that one!

Thank you for your reply! Yeah, even just with the 2 i-134 forms and no evidence, between my fiancé and her mom, there's more than enough income. Its just a really complicated situation at the moment there because of the health issues her dad is facing so I'm hoping they take that into consideration. I will definitely update once it's all done!

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I can't self sponsor at this time, it's just not an option for me at the moment. Hopefully someone can answer the question about the joint sponsor though. My fiancé has filled out an i-134 with her info, and her mother (who we will be living with) has also filled one out with her info and a lot of supporting documentation as she's well above the poverty guideline. There should be no issue, as the income for my soon to be mother in law is more than enough, but circumstances mean my fiancé can only work part time at the moment.

Hi everyone! Looking for a little bit of information if possible. I have my K1 Visa interview next week (in London, UK) and me and my fiancé are just finalising all the paperwork. Basically, she had to move back with her parents a couple of years ago to help out due to her dad having advanced Parkinsons. This means that she can only work part time. Her mom has been wonderful about being a joint sponsor, but we're having a small panic about if this is allowed or not. And if it is, how do we do it? Is it just a case of them BOTH filling out an I-134 and me telling them at the embassy next week that it's a joint sponsorship or...? (for information, we will be staying there for an unknown amount of time to continue to help out since her parents are older and we love them) Any information would be lovely. Please and thank you so so much. ❤️
