Review Topic: K1 Visa

The consulate is very good and the people there are friendly. The most important thing is for the beneficiary to bring the right form. We didn’t know, and we brought the wrong one and got a final processing letter/green form. You need to bring an i-134, and you need to have a joint sponsor that meets the requirements if you are a freelancer, don’t work or are a student. Basically everyone brought one and they collected it at the front. It’s not the I-864 (which we brought). Translations must be certified by a certified translator and not by the beneficiary or petitioner with an affidavit. If you don’t do that you’ll get a green slip. They didn’t ask us any questions just automatically for the I-134, my tax transcripts and the tax affidavit I wrote explaining why I didn’t file income taxes for a few years. The interviewer just asked us to send in the I-134 and a certified translation along with the green slip to the Citic bank drop off. They didn’t tell us anything more, and returned the passport.

Another thing here is my time table for getting the visa to help those folks with visa anxiety. This is my experience with the green slip.
