  1. Tackling I-134

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    I must be especially dense! I am probably making heavy weather of this! But question #8 #9 #10 (I-134) have me confused.

     

    8. That the following persons are dependent upon me for support: Name of Person Wholly Dependent Partially Dependent Age Relationship to Me.

    DO THEY MEAN MY WIFE AND STEPDAUGHTER? SEEMS REDUNDANT. Or do they mean other people not on the Affidavit?

     

    9. That I have previously submitted affidavit(s) of support for the following person(s). If none, state "None.''

    I ASSUME - NONE.

     

    10. That I have submitted visa petition(s) to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) on behalf of the following person(s). If none, state none.

    Name Relationship Date Submitted

     

    DO THEY MEAN MY WIFE AND STEPDAUGHTER? SEEMS REDUNDANT

     

    11. I assume I write, " As a husband and stepfather I will support my family forever."

  3. tracking DHL mail?

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    I have my GUV number and know the date NVC sent our I-129F Nov 16th 2004 . However, I do not have a clue how to work the DHL web site!

    Also, I e-mailed Guangzhou last night and got an immediate response. They have not received my I-129F form from NVC.

    I want to thank everyone who helps people like me. I had no problem with filing the first round of forms with Texas and Chicago BUT the Guangzhou phase has got me a little rattled. I have this feeling that things aren't "right" there!

  7. K-3 VS 1-130

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Posted

    Our K-3 has been approved and is now in Guangzhou.

    Our I -130 is approved and is at NVC. It will not arrive in Guangzhou for about two months.

     

    We do not want to go the I -130 route because it will exclude our stepdaughter who was over 18 when we married.

     

    We want to go the K-3 route because the K-4 option is allowed.

     

    If the I-130 arrives in Guangzhou do we have to go that route. Do we have a choice?

     

    Does anyone have ideas?

  10. lawyer time!

    I have posted questions about my 19 year old stepdaughter visa problems at "Candle for Love", Asian-American Couples group, K-3 filers group, as well as Visaourney.com. I have had no response from anyone who ha had first hand experience with this problem.

     

    My wife's approved I 129F form has passed through NVC and is now in Guangzhou and her I-130 is at the NVC. I have been lucky filing the paperwork - so far.

     

    However, I obviously need an attorney who is very familiar with K3/4 Visas. Does anyone have any recommendations. I want to find an attorney who does not have to "research" the topic. I would like to find an attorney who knows the subject and can provide solutions or advice.

     

    Thanks for helping us.

  12. I -130 AND K- 3 and K-4

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    Thanks for the replies:

     

    The problem for us is that my stepdaughter was over 18 when we married. This meant that she is not viewed as my stepdaughter for immigration purposes and cannot get an i-130 thru me. However, she can come to the USA on a K-4 visa as a dependent of her mother's K-3. This K-3 expires on her 21st birthday.

     

    Is there any way through this problem?

  13. I -130 AND K- 3 and K-4

    in General Visa Discussion & First Steps

    I am new to the site. My wife is a Nanning woman (Song) and we were married last year Dec 23rd. As a teacher I have been lucky because I have visited my wife frequently. I will be going back on December 19th.

     

    My I-129 F has been approved and was sent to Guangzhou last week. Good.

    My I-130 has alsobeen approved and is now at NVC. Maybe good It is a few weeks behind

     

    BUT, my step-daughter was over the age of 18 when I married her mother. Not Good. Apparently she can get a K-4 from her mother's K-3 BUT is, as you all know, unable to receive sponsorship (I-130) from me.

    This means my step-daughter can come to the USA until she turns 21. As I read the rules, she then must leave the USA.

     

    I have done all the paperwork myself. So far no problems. Fairly easy. But it is getting rather tricky.

    I am worried that the Guangzhou Consulate will process my wife as an immigrant not a K-3. My step-daughter could be cut-out. As I understand it her K-4 is dependent on her mother's k-3.

    ANY IDEAS? POSSIBLY I NEED A LAWYER WHO SPECIALIZES IN K-3 VISAS. RECOMMENDATIONS
