Hello guys, I just want to say thank you to everyone that has been helping on this platform . So glad I stumbled on it.helped a great deal. Thank you .
I got married to my fiancé last weekend and now what next ? Is there another platform that can help with that ? And do I need a lawyer for that process ? Because lawyers here say they want to charge 2k dollars but I think it’s a bit ridiculous.
Please I will appreciate any help I can receive here as always . |

Hello house , How long after the interview will the visa be ready ? And also , I saw on their website that there’s a huge workload on VI collection center and they advise using the Isolo collection center. Has anyone collected their visa from the isolo center ? I need all these details because I want to book my ticket . |

Is this an example of the welcome letter

Travel / Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by Bellachao: 4:05pm On Apr 20, 2022 |
Please can someone shed more light on this My case says ‘READY’ but I don’t think we have received the welcome letter We got an email but based on what I can see now , it seems like we are yet to receive the welcome letter Should it come visa email or mailbox? Thank you in anticipation of a detailed response. OLAOREOFE50: So welcome letter is the long details document that has a step by step on how to go about on your interview process. Airboy shared it recently . It is different from the one page email that just has your case number and few details.
I also want to be sure it is needed for the interview, I am skeptical about choosing an interview date without having my welcome letter yet. |

Okay , Thank you Airboy333: you need to fill another one for ur interview and the supporting documents u will also need the most recent Tex return 4rm IRS |

Thank you in advance Airboy333: why waiting for it the petitioner should start filling I-134 affidavit of Supports wit d supporting documents. |

Thank you for this . At what point do we have to book the appointment for Medicals? Now or when the status changes to ready ? Airboy333: ok gud Friday and Monday is public holiday but it will change to Ready before Thursday next week. 1.Start filling your ds-160 form when it change to ready u can submit. 2. Go to Gtb and pay for K visa . 3. Create an account using dis link to book an appointment but if u already have an account no need just login. https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?country=Nigeria |

Thank you so much I appreciate. But I thought the letter should be addressed to USCIS or no ? Armstrong34: .....
This format should be only used by your immediate family member ...like father,mother or sisters...
If your friends are writing....they have to write how they first knew you and when they knew about your relationship and how they have watched you and your fiancee relationship come this far...and they are giving their support for you both...
Everyone should attach their ID or passport data page for identification.
Goodluck |
Travel / Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by Bellachao: 3:10am On Oct 18, 2021 |
Yes I agree with you, I think we overloaded them with too much pictures Please does anyone have / know a particular template fir the letters from family members. I do not want to make any mistakes this time . Armstrong34: ....
Good day , I will say from what I have read so far on visa Journey....You front loaded the USCIS with way too much pictures and there is every possibility that your letters of intent and engagement ceremony pics were not seen....
I have seen this similar thing with other people who feels sending over 30 pictures helps...but it always get to an RFE..
because the person adjudicating over the case may not have the time to go over the 30 pictures.. These people adjudicate thousands of cases daily, so they do not have that time to go over your 30 pictures...or the person who scans the documents into the system when received from you at Texas lockbox facility may not have that time to scan in over 30 pictures ..as lots of cases are sent in per day for themto scan into the system...it's way too much and frustrating to one who has lot of work to do to scan in over 30 pictures ....Think about that too...
Sending 5 to 10 quality pictures showing evidence of what is required can do more than sending 30 pictures of repeating pictures at different locations..it is of little or no importance
They always say Think quality over quantity..
Am not here to criticise you buh we are here to help each other...
Now I would advise you and your fiancee to resend another fresh letter of Intent with the current date on it as the day when you are writing it..
You and your fiancee parents or family members should write a letter/affidavit of support that they are aware of your relationship and they are aware that you both intends to get immediately you get to the US .
Both of them alone are very powerful evidence of intent to marry.
Then you can now add your engagement ceremony pictures too to it..just one or 2 pics max..
Then do a cover page and write all what you are submitting to the uscis ..
Next time , just give this people a quality concise package of what they are asking for ...
I have read of people getting NOA 2 approval after submitting just 3 pictures or so..
I am not saying you should do same....all I am saying is we should not over do things some times..

Thank you Coquinoqui:
OK, I received the same RFE I will advised you based on how we responded to USCIS RFE and later got approved. 1. You and your fiancé should write a detailed letter of intent to marry (the letter should contain how met, and also include details about planned wedding) 2. Evidence of wedding preparatio for example my fiance sent me email details of our plan wedding with potential guests, colours for decoration, venue and kind of food we want to serve our guests, etc so we took a screenshot of the email and sent it to them. 3. Evidence of ongoing communication 4. Conresspondance discussing marriage : if you getting married to her then surely you guys must of talk about your wedding during chat, like where you holding the ceremony, honeymoon, infact anything that shows you and ur fiance have discussed the wedding plans, take a screenshot and send it. Evidence of subsequent visits : my fiance only visited once in our letter of intent we made it clear we planned for a second visit but due to codvid it was no longer possible as there were travel restrictions. If your fiance visited more than once then you should provide more evidence. 5. Evidence of financial support : my fiance sent her recent pay stubs and most recent tax return( someone said evidence of financial support could also be receipt of money transfer but we didn't include such evidence) 6. Tell your family and friends that's if they are aware to write a statement that they're aware of the relationship and your intentions to marry your fiance(attach there ID card, passport) 7. Made it clear in the letter of intent to marry that you don't have any children together in the relationship and if you have discussed about having kids in the future also mention it.
When you sending your RFE file back to uscis make sure to make a content list, arrange the evidence in order as mentioned in the RFE letter. If you don’t have any evidence of what they ask make sure to mention it in the letter of intent to marry e.g subsequent visit and children born to the relationship.
You only have one shot at RFE so gather as much evidence as you can if there's anything that you might help your case don't hesitate to add it. Good luck 1 Like |

Good afternoon house, I recently discovered this thread and it has been really been helpful. I got an RFE yesterday, and the confusing part is we had sent most of the things they asked us to resend which includes 1) we sent 2 separate signed statements 2) evidence of ongoing communication 3) evidence of subsequent meetings (we initially sent them at least 30 pictures at different times) 4) evidence of engagement ceremony ( we included pictures of the proposal, sent receipts of the engagement ring) 5) evidence of family and friends being aware of the relationship ( we sent pictures that included times where both parents met at a dinner ) I honestly do not know what to do .
The recently added items we were asked to send are 1) evidence of wedding preparations ( which I have no clue how I’m going to go about it , because we haven’t been able to make plans since we do not know how long this whole process with last) 2)evidence of financial support
Please I need help on how to go about this . Thank you
