Hello House, if my Us fiance wants to file for K1, do I need birth certificate (NPC) now? Or till during the K1interview? We got introduced by a relative first week in December last year..we already met physically in a neighbouring country.making the relationship 6months plus..is it too early to file for K1? Considering the duration of the process we both agreed to start the process early.We also plan to see by December this year to mark 1 year Anniversary...is there any reason to be worried?

InvestorTeeMan:

1. Your (beneficiary) birth certificate or NPC is not necessary when you file until interview stage, but the OP should include his/hers
2. It is not too early to file, go ahead
3. Meeting again in December will make good sense as multiple physical meeting is very good for K1, so nothing to worry about as it stands. File now before the increased fee go into effect.

Goodday house
For someone who had his wedding officially here in naija and the wife is back to the US, what category of visa can the wife file for him(fastest route), since it appears that the K-1 is for the unmarried that intends to get married...

Hello house. Please my case number is not written on the interview / appointment letter as requested by the clinic where I'm to do my medicals. Please should I be worried? Or I should contact the embassy to resend it.

InvestorTeeMan:

Don’t worry about that, go for your medicals.

Good evening guys, pls I’d like to be added to the group for the K1 visa application. I submitted my DS 160 today and tried to get an interview date on this site but got this warning.
I need advice where to go from here. Will really appreciate a response. Thanks

amsoulz:
I just started the process. My fiancé has submitted the petition and received a mail that they’ve started reviewing our application. I want to know how long does it take for the review. Also what should we be expecting next as our line of action sir

Snipa4lyf:

They have to send you an update via email telling u that u can go ahead to book for interview if not u can’t just see a date like that

emaayjay:


Thanks for your response, I appreciate.
Got to ask, do you have an idea of an estimated wait time, cos May 11 is when my case status showed ‘ready’..so I’ve been waiting over a month now. When ever I call, they ask me to wait for the letter..my NOA expires next month, that’s my concern.
Still called them today, they said it’s looking good from their end that I should be patient.

Any one with similar challenge? How long did you wait to get your packet letter/instruction letter for appointment?

Hi guys!

this is my first time on this thread, please help me guys!

my uncle went for his K1 visa interview and was given a white paper that says "your visa application is currently refused under section 221(g)........."
"Send in the ORIGINALS and PHOTOCOPIES of the following":
Beneficiary's Passport and Birth Certificate ticked from all the options.

He is not a social media person. He called me to ask since I live in the US and probably thought I will know but all I know about is the F1 visa which is the one I left with a couple years ago: 221g is given if the VO wants you to submit a missing document or for administrative processing, stuff like that.

He said the VO asked for his birth certificate that she hasn't seen it on her end so i guess it was not on file, he gave her an affidavit but she said "they don't accept that".
I told him it's not a big deal, he was born in 1975 so he needs to submit an attestation of birth from NPC and his passport, everything should be good since the VO only asked for birth certificate and passport but he is still scared so I want to confirm from you guys please!

Has anyone encountered something like this before? Any input will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance

No worry this happens from time to time, you have already given him the solution. He should just send them the NPC and other document they want and go chill to wait for his visa. No wahala at all as long as he send Watin den want.

Hi guys,
Please I have a question as regards the I-130 form I’m to take to my interview. There’s a part in it which asks for beneficiary assets, I’m confused on what to put on that part, I have no idea how much would be okay to write on there. Also is it compulsory that the beneficiary has to indicate how much she has ? If left blank would it affect me on the day of my interview?
Please all response would be appreciated

This is not for K1. Probably you are referring to IR1 or CR1. For the area regarding your income, you are not forced. If you are unemployed at the time. You should have indicated that you are. When interview come you can update that. For me, i put unemployed because it was during pandemic. Then after pandemic I have a change of career which let me for further education in Animation and Graphics having worked as a Teacher for Almost 9 years. I have evidence. Even my certificates and now, evidence of newly established self employed company. What the VO may detect is if you lied and that depends.
