Speeding up K-3 visa process??
Hi Folks,
I am a US Citizen and about to apply for K-3 'Fiancée Visa' for my wife and
have couple of questions to ask. I would be very grateful if someone take a
few moments out of there schedule to answer these questions:
1. Are there any additional documents, except the ones mentioned in these
applications, I should be submitting with my I-130 and them with I-129F
applications to help speedup the process?
2. All in all, BCIS has done a good job in designing these applications
forms (I-130 & I-129F); however, I am a bit confused about following section
on form I-130:
C-13. Has your relative ever been in the U.S.?
My answer should be YES, because, I am assuming, this question is about me.
C-14. If your relative is currently in the U.S., complete the
following:
He or she arrived as a: [MY ANSWER] The US Citizen.
Arrival/Departure Record (I-94): [MY ANSWER] N/A
Date arrived (Month/Day/Year): [MY ANSWER]
03/10/2003.
3. In section 12 of the instruction sheets (page 3, Para 3) of I-129F, BCIS
writes "The LIFE Act requires applicants to apply for a K-3/K-4 visa in the
country where their marriage to the U.S. citizen petitioner took place."
Does that mean I will have to file this application in the country where my
wife is currently residing, because that's where the marriage took place?
4. To submit translated marriage license with I-130, does this translation
has to be done in the country where marriage took place, or can I have this
license translated in US from some authorized translator?
3. Is it a good idea to add a cover letter with these applications? If so,
what should this letter have to convince processing officer?
If anyone with some experience can help me here, I will be very thankful.
