DankbaresHerz:I really don't know if a notarized letter can serve as evidence of financial support. But I know the form i134 (Affidavit of Support) is a document that confirms financial support. Her mum can fill the form i134 and give to her to submit. In addition to the filled form i134, she can also attach a cover letter explaining that her mum will be your cosponsor. That's my advice. 4 Likes |

sharpman1:Yeah I think it has to do with this Public Charge. Although I had thought the courts had kept it on hold for now. |

DankbaresHerz:Its surprising they are requesting for evidence of financial support now. I thought they usually request for such during the interview stage. Well since they asked, I think your fiance can fill the form i134 and attach relevant documents (like bank statement, pay stubs, tax returns, employmwnt letter, etc) along with it. If she doesnt make up to 125% if the poverty level then she'll also need a cosponsor. Expenses you guys have made on each other can help too 2 Likes |

Sukey:Oh ok get it now. You won't see dates on the dashboard until you click on the reschedule appointment link. Right? However for those who are yet to schedule, they get to see the first available date on the dashboard (lower left part of the dashboard) without the need to click on the schedule appointment link. The advantage is that they don't have any limit on the number of times they can view the dashboard unlike in your case where you have a limit of 3 times in 24 hours. |

Sukey:I have a question. Is it possible to see available dates after already scheduling an interview date? Also did you already have an interview date when you checked and saw 23rd of December? |
Travel / Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by LegitBachelor: 9:55pm On Oct 18, 2019 |
Glorioussugar:Yes. And just as Drenimarcus advised, don't check for dates again until after 12 midnight. The next time you visit your ustraveldocs portal, I advice not to click on the New Application/ Schedule Appointment link until you see a date. For more guidance on this, see my previous post on this here: https://www.nairaland.com/4800968/usa-fiancee-k1-visa-thread/47#80809392 |

Glorioussugar:No. I don't think you can use your phone. Its only done on the computer. Your computer needs to be always on and connected to the internet. Also your ustraveldocs portal page should not be closed. |

Sukey:If you want to do it with a Local Government, I think it makes sense to do it in the local government close to where you reside. This is because they are in a better position to attest that you are single since you reside close to them. However if you want to do it with a marriage registry, then I'll recommend the Ikoyi Registry as they have good relationship with the embassy thus they can easily be contacted by the embassy to verify your document. |

Sukey:I did mine in the Local Government office close to where I lived. I also learnt it can be done at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry. It costs around 15 to 20K, I think, to get It done at the Local Government Office. I was told it could get close to 40K at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry. 1 Like |

Sukey:Just like Sharpman1 said, be truthful and be confident. As long as you are saying the truth you have nothing to fear. The evidence that proves you guys are not married can help. You can get written letter from your parents and your woman's parents that no bride price was paid. You can also get the bacherlorhood certificate, if you can. All these is just to prove your case. |

Attraction:Yes you can wait. Your k1 visa interview date might not even be possible this year anyways. However I advice you should be proactive with the us embassy guys concerning your casefile. Keep tracking it on the website I had provided earlier. Once it says your casefile is READY, you can do an email to the us embassy (LagosIV@state.gov) requesting your Packet. Once you get the go ahead from them (hopefully you'll get the go ahead before your casefile expiry date), you can then schedule the earliest available date which most probably will be around January or February. 2 Likes |

Thanks so much @anjiee for the Transcript. Can you tell us how you resolved the change of passport number issue? Did you fill a new DS160 or did you email ustraveldocs or did you just go for the interview with both passports? 1 Like |

Justice96:Both Spousal and Fiance route are expensive. In fact, the Fiance route is slightly more expensive when you add all the fees that will be paid down the road. Also note that your woman must earn a salary above 125% of the Federal Poverty Guideline for her to be able to petition for you, whether it's Fiance or Spousal. 1 Like |

Attraction:Click this link to see my earlier response: https://www.nairaland.com/4800968/usa-fiancee-k1-visa-thread/59#82150931 An excerpt of my response can be seen here: Legitbachelor: You can also click on this link to see my comment on how to track your casefile: https://www.nairaland.com/4800968/usa-fiancee-k1-visa-thread/48#81044999 So basically, the embassy advices you track your casefile and only make payments and schedule your visa interview once you get the go ahead from the embassy. However some people do go ahead and schedule an appointment even before getting the go ahead. Thats a risk to take but many people take the risk (the worse that could happen will be to loose the visa fee, I think) but I wouldn't take such risk. PS: Have you gotten your passport back from the SA guys? |

Justice96:Don't worry about Trump. As long as your love is real, nothing else matters. The difference between Fiancee and Spouse visa is that Fiance will make you be with your wife within a shorter timeframe while Spouse visa will make you get your greencard within a shorter timeframe. So you guys should decide what's best for both of you. |
Travel / Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by LegitBachelor: 7:56pm On Oct 16, 2019 |
Sukey:Yes that's true. Another thing I will like to add is that one can only reschedule or cancel twice. After the second reschedule, the option is no longer possible. |

Glorioussugar:It's dangerous to reschedule if your expiry date is close. This is because it involves cancelling the date you have and looking for another date and you might not get another date immediately after you cancel. |

Glorioussugar:Note however that what this means is that if your interview is successful and you are granted the K1 visa, your visa will expire in March. My advice: Pick an available date once your portal opens up. Don't tamper with the date by attempting to reschedule for an earlier date. Stick to the date. Prepare for the interview, and go with relevant documents. Then be ready to leave the country before March, get married within 90 days of entry into the US and adjust status immediately after marriage or before the i94 validity expires. 1 Like |

Glorioussugar:So that means your medical report will expire in March (medicals has a validity of 6 months). So don't worry about medicals. Just pick the available interview date asap once your portal open up and let us know when you do. 1 Like |

Travel / Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by LegitBachelor: 12:36am On Oct 16, 2019 |
Glorioussugar:Don't worry about medicals for now. Just pick an available date once your portal opens up. After picking an available date, you can plan to schedule another medicals. Your medicals should be scheduled 2 - 3 weeks to your interview date. Let us know when you've picked an interview date. We'll advice you on what to do next. Regards. 1 Like |

Sukey:It doesn't matter when the petition is expiring. She should just pick the available date. After picking the date, she can then send a mail to the embassy seeking extension of her expiry date. They will grant her request and extend it because they will see it's not her fault that she chose a later date as it was the only available date at the time. I'm even told they automatically extend the expiry date in situations like this without even a need to send them a mail. However if she decides to wait and not schedule any date, then her casefile will expire on the expiry date and she will have to start the i129 petition (or i130) all over again. That's not good. 1 Like |
