Fiance visa options USA

Re: Fiance visa options USA
Hello All,
When does the visa validity start from. From the date of the health assessment or when you attend the interview? I remember someone mentioning that it starts from the date of health assessment but how do they know that I will be getting a visa at that time?
Thanks

and second question: Do i need to supply the affidavit of support for this step, if I am applying for K1 fiance visa?
https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fianc...red-documents/ it says:
"K and Diversity visa applicants are not required to provide an I-864 Form. However, they must show evidence that they are not likely to become public charges while in the United States. There is no set for that this evidence must take but use of the form I-134 is an efficient way to provide this information to the Consular Officer."

In other words the visa interview determines the start date, and the medical determines the end date (six months later) of the validity of the visa.

Not quite. The visa isn't valid until you have had your visa interview and been approved, but the six month window during which the visa is valid starts on the date of your medical.

The visa is valid from the date of approval at the interview until six months after the date of the medical exam.

Re: Fiance visa options USA
Whilst completing DS-160 i came across some questions that weren't as straight forward so hoping to get some help:
1. Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with USCIS? Yes/No
My fiance in the US has filed for fiance K1 visa petition this year.As far as i know that is a non-immigrant petition so should i answer No this?
2. Do you have any documents to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with the US law?
I don't know where to get this list. How do i go about checking what their requirements are?
Thanks

Re: Fiance visa options USA
Thank you both.
With regards to the affidavit of support form I-134, we were thinking of using another relative who is happy to sponsor as my fiance currently doesn't have the necessary income needed. In this case should we consider this to be joint sponsor case or can the relative alone act as the only sponsor?
I have heard mixed things hence why checking. Thanks

Re: Fiance visa options USA
There is no joint sponsor for the I-134.
The relative would fill out the I-134 and supply the backup evidence required.

There can be a joint sponsor for the I-864... but that doesn't happen until after the marriage and you're filing to adjust status. Similarly, a joint sponsor must be over 18, living in the US, and either a USC or PR.

Another questions from my fiance who is the US citizen (acting as petitioner):
"In my G-325a form, I mentioned that I have been unemployed (which was a mistake due to my situation at the time). I filled out the form on July 2017, but I was officially employed beginning of January 2017. I wish I could have stated that on the form at the time but I didn;t know of my official employment status. At the time (and it still is the case now if I am not able to change my information on the forms I have already filled) my plan was to get an affidavit of support for my fiancee from my uncle. I wonder if me being unemployed will affect my case for my fiance being approved for fiancee visa. My petition for fiancee visa has already been accepted and now my fiancee is filling out her forms and getting ready to schedule her interview at the US embassy in UK. I am wondering if she should declare my employment status so as to accurately reflect my current circumstance or whether we should make it match with my previously filled out G-325a form. "
In the DS-160 form, I have to state his employment type: Professional | Business | student | unemployed etc. and given this I am confused as to what to enter.
Help please

Fill out the DS-160 form as it pertains to your fiancé's employment situation today. They aren't going to go back and look at the G-325A form. It's a non-issue.
