.

Assets, that like is very tricky, if you had filled anything in, it would having open up places where you indicate numbers. And then on and on. You said you left it blank. Please be prepared to cover up or provide a desirable answer during your interview if it comes up. What the VO is expecting is for you not to be doing anything here at that time. Even if your petitioner is send you money, you still have to have your own stuff going on. For me, my wife do support ( with evidence) but we have other things going on that I can't say here. You need to be ready to say what you are doing.

Okay I get what you’re saying. I’m going via the fiance route not spousal, does that still apply?
Cause on visa journey I heard numerous people say it doesn’t matter if it is left blank they just want to know if my fiancé is able to support me. How true is that?

Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by bluebros: 5:33pm On Jun 22, 2023
Honestly, mine is spousal. I believe there is a poverty line for all I130 applicants. That is why i will agree with visa journey contributors. My wife who happen to be my petitioner passed the required line. Since you say you are fiance category, i will advise you seek more answers on this platform.

Adaobi, you don’t have to worry too much about beneficiary declaration of assets.
The K1 is solely on the OP’s financial strength (based on the federal government poverty guidelines and numbers of household) so if you have assets or you don’t have as a beneficiary it won’t have any unfavorable effect on your interview or visa approval. If you have just write it on the form and the worth even if it is a car, coz I only listed my car and its worth during my time. Just don’t list what you don’t have.

Hi guys,

I want to say a thank you to everyone for their contributions on this platform. I started following this thread since my fiancee filed. I finally got approved. This might be helpful. The below are the questions that were asked:

How did you meet?
What got you attracted to your fiancée?
Where does your fiancée works?
Where is her company located?

After checking her system for some minutes, she finally mentioned that finally approved statement 😊

TIPS: Please make sure you are bold and confident and don’t allow the expression on the VO face makes you lose your confidence. You should be proud discussing about your fiancée. Mine wasn’t smiling but I wasn’t bothered. I answered the questions confidently.

Also, I have a question 😊 Is it possible I fly in to US from another country different from the country where the visa was issued? Or is it a must I travel from the country where the visa was issued? The reason I am asking is because I plan to travel to country A for vacation and from there I plan on traveling to the US.

I wish everyone success in this process. Thank you guys!


Congratulations 🎊

Greetings everyone,
Please I want to know how long it takes after submitting the petition to get email from USCIS, my petitioner used UPS to post it, they told her they dropped the mail at the Lockbox in Dallas, is that the right place? Will they send a mail to the mailing address or just an email to acknowledge receipt and how long after the submission should we expect email or mail from them confirming the receipt?
Thank you

For K1 visa, NVC will not schedule the interview for you, you will be the one to do that. The only thing you will get from NVC is an approval letter stating that they have approved and has now being sent to the embassy. After then you can check the CEAC Status to trace if your application is now at the embassy. If it shows transit, it means it is on the way, and if it shows ready, it means it is already at the embassy. When it shows ready, you can go ahead and fill the ds160 form and pay the fee. You can also email NVC to follow up with your application by using this public inquiry form, they are always responsive. I have tried it and they always respond to me. See the email here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html
Also you can track your application after it has been approved by the NVC and even when after your visa interview at the embassy but you will need to use your case ID which you don’t have for now. Google CEAC status tracker and click on the first link.

Regarding the questions, I just remember the below:

When last did you see each other? She asked me this question twice . I will advise that if possible, if your fiancée visited recently, it also boosts your application.

All the best!

I think you will be notified upon receiving your mail and a receipt number will be given to you which you'll use in checking on your case status.

Yes it would be nice for you to meet again in Canada before embassy and come back home to have your interview. You could also have your interview in Canada since you have a good visa status but looks like you wanna have it in Nigeria which is also fine. So you’re good.

Good luck to you and your fiancé.

It's been 1yr months since I came to the US with k1 visa, joined the United States Navy 3 months ago and now I'm a US Citizen and US Navy Sailor not to mention the countless benefits that comes with joining the military and opportunities to travel the world for free and getting paid steadily for it. You're automatically qualified for citizenship the day you step foot in bootcamp Infact once you joined any service of the armed forces (US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Army, Coast guard and Airforce it's your right to be a citizen.

If you're in the US and interested in joining the Armed forces hint me up

All that glitters isn't gold with joining the US military. There's always that chance of being away from your significant other, pay the ultimate sacrifice, etc. It can indeed be rewarding though with the right mindset & supportive spouse.

Good day All,
This is just to say a big thank you to everyone esp. Investorteeman and Airboy. Although I am not the candidate, this platform helped me and my fiancé so much! Just reading through questions, positive responses and encouraging words…, cos the pressure of this process is something else, and the long wait period due to the pandemic made matters ten times worse. Alas, he was able to pick the process and in every of life’s endeavor. God bless you all!
Plz, could u tell us what documents u took with u to the interview and how u got ur medicals and police report. Thanks

Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by gmelanino: 8:23pm On Jun 27, 2023
InvestorTeeMan:

1. As much as your case has been forwarded to the embassy then it is a YES for you to go ahead with those steps and wait to have your medicals done 5/6 weeks before your appointment at the embassy.

For the letter stating you and your petitioner should upload documents have not seen that before except for CR1/IR1 so there’s a mix up somewhere just check well.

2. You don’t need invoice number just your case number starting with LGS then you are good.

3. Check the ceac platform and if your case status shows “Ready” do not wait for embassy to reach out to you before you create cgi account and look for date and prepare for your interview.

4. You do not need proof of self-sufficient, this petition is primarily on the petitioner, his/her financial capability and records plays the major and significant role here. So since she makes enough money safe yourself the stress of giving too much information that would be insignificant to the process.

5. If your case shows READY on the ceac feel free to do the police certificate but wait to do your medicals some weeks to your appointment probably 5/6 weeks.

Good day InvestorTeeMan, my case is CR1 spouse visa. My interview has been schedule for this August. I see clarification on
1. police report, cuz I did one already thinking the interview would b scheduled sooner but it took longer. I did the Police report early last year. Dunno if It would still be valid for the interview
2. What's the earliest I could do a medical before the interview.
3. What documents do I need to take with me to the interview
4. What other thing do I still need to do prior to the interview scheduled for August?
