I was just wondering if anyone on here knows if she has to fill out each form separately and sign them or if she only has to fill out one of copy and then I can simply photocopy three more copies of the same form. Ice nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/1/2005 6:31:10 PM   Ice I did mine on Adobe and sent four copies to her to sign. It is acceptable. Her documents went to Kiev without a problem and now we are just waiting for the interview. As for other documents, her birth certificate, Divorce decrees if any etc, Photocopies are perfectly acceptable to submit. Though she will need the originals for her interview. Oh, also they will need to be translated. Anything else you need please ask, we are just waiting for the interview now and I would be glad to help you in anyway I can. Later Mike jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/1/2005 10:54:13 PM   I had her sign ONE copy in Moldova - before I realized that there even WERE three copies. (We were using tear-out forms from a book). The top part of the four pages are the same - the bottom parts are different. Made copies using the old style color paper - and cut and pasted (literally) to get my four pages. IceChaos Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/3/2005 10:32:42 PM   Nasfan what about the Alien Registration Number! Are you saying that you filled in the info for the questions asked on the form and then sent her the four copies to sign? Ice nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/3/2005 11:28:06 PM   Ice, She won't have an alien registration number since I assume you are applying for a K1 visa. That form is used in other situations also, as in Naturalization and change of status. But for K1 you won't need this number because she won't have one. As for the questions we talked many times on the phone and she had hand written me the biographical questions that I asked to submit on the 325a. After I filled out the answers on the form she proofread them, any mistakes that was made to language issues between us was changed. I emailed the adobe file back to her corrected and then she signed them and mailed them back to me. Ice I sense that you are stressing a little over this. Relax, it's not that difficult. You'll be fine. When I first started this, I thought there would be a small room with one light and an interrogator, it's not like that at all. It is relatively easy, just a lot of leg work on her part due to the fact getting documents in Ukraine is not as easy as getting here in the US. Later Mike IceChaos Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 10:08:13 AM   Thanks for the reply Mike. My other question is does she have to have a letter of intent certifying that she wants to marry me within 90 days after arriving in US? The outline I downloaded from VisaJourney.Com says as much while the outline I bought from American Immigration Network , Inc says nothing about that requirement. I know that I have to write such a letter just not sure about her having to write one. I am tempted just to hire Roth and be done with it. Ice wmferg Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 10:14:52 AM   Ice, I am starting the process also and I believe the leter of intent is for you to fill out. If you want I will e-mail you a copy of mine for you to have a look at. I have hired Roth to do mine. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 11:55:13 AM   We did the letter of intent thing, as recommended on VisaJourney. We both signed our perspective copies. It was convenient. Had it not been we might not have done it. They were included in our k-1 application and she did show them at the interview. Whether or not it made a difference - of course we will never know. Jetson Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 2:27:17 PM   Although desirable, the lady does not have to submit a letter of intent. nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 7:48:30 PM   Ice, I would recommend the letter on intent from your lady. Second I don't know if you have to have an attorney like Roth to get this done. There are many other immigration attorneys that do the same thing for less money and are very good at it. Any supporting documentation you can bring to the table is good. We are just waiting on the interview now. I have not even been questioned about my financial position. Though I am taking my last three years financial statements with me for her interview. Any supporting evidence is always good. When in doubt bring supporting documents. Neonred Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 8:01:54 PM   Ice, I just received my NOA2 (visa approval) from the California Service Center today. I submitted letters of intent from both of us in our K-1 application. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 8:30:45 PM   Ice: Don't be intimidated by what seems to be ridiculous amounts of paperwork. Its really not that bad. Any attorney will certainly have to ask you the same questions, and you will have to produce the same documents to support your case, as if you did it on your own. But with an attorney you add another, necessarily time consuming step to the process. I have to beleive that immigartion attorneys who get $1,500 or so for filling in these stupid forms, laugh all the way to the bank. wmferg Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 8:41:57 PM   Couple of things about the attorney. There is no doubt in my mind that I could probably do this without him. But he has an attroney in St petersburg,Ru that has worked with him for a number of years and knows how to handle various snags that could come up on Lena's end. Just the fact that Lena has been contacted by phone three times in the past week by the Russian attorney has made Roth's fee worthwhile. Lena was in a panic that she would do something that would delay the process. She has done nothing but thank me in every letter this week for hireing this person to speak to her in Russian so she could fully understand what needed to done. Also Lena was married to a Russian military man so in addition to living in Ukraine she has also lived in Czechoslovakia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and three different places in Russia. It was a daunting thought to try and come up with police reports from all the places she has lived longer than six months for the interview. Czechoslovakia does not even exist as a country any longer. The Russian attorney told her not to worry she new just what to do. After what I have spent so far on this little adventure Roth's free for Lena's peace of mind I feel was well worth it. nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 9:47:28 PM   Bill there are extenuating circumstances in each case. Mine was pretty simple and cut and dried, she has lived in Mariupol all her life. So the police reports weren't that big of a deal for us. Though the tracking down of documents and name changes of documents since the fall of the Soviet Union could be a little difficult at times. The consulates are easily accessible for information via email which the American embassy in Kiev has responded to my questions very quickly. Also each embassy operates in a different manner. Larissa had all her documents in three weeks and notorized, which come to find out isn't really necessary at the Kiev embassy. She went as far as to have a new birth certificate done with the Current Ukrainian names on it. Since her birth certificate said Zhadanov and not Mariupol, and Donetsk was Stalinsakay or something like that. For me using someone like Roth would have been a waste. I did contact him in the beginning and he's very honest and straight forward. Also along with that 1500 I think he also handles that change of status and various other situations that come up for her citizenship, you can correct me if I'm wrong but I also think that is included, where doing it on my own, I have to file that paper work or find an attorney here in the states to do that. I would recomend someone like John Roth if you think you are going to run into difficulties, and also having the attorney in Russia helps with the language problems. Which I didn't have because Larisa speaks pretty good english and the packets sent from Kiev came in both English and Ukrainian to her. Everyone's circumstances are a little different. If it is easy like mine, I wouldn't recomend an attorney. Later Mike wmferg Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 10:37:31 PM   That was the reason for my post Mike. On this side, all seems fairly easy albeit time consuming. It is on the other side of the pond (so to speak) where the difficulty can arise. There is alot to be said for having Russian speaking legal help available if needed. Also, part of the package, is that Roth has paralegals in Kyiv to assist Lena with the interveiw process. For me it just came down to the peace of mind that Lena has now. She is much more relaxed about the process now. BTY Ross is at $1800 now with an additional $300 for Lena's son. But that is also a guaranteed proceedure, if there is no deception, he guarantees the visa or your money is refunded. Just a different way for some of the new people here evaluate whether or not to use an attorney. But you're right, if everything is cut and dried like yours was then there is no need to spend the money because it is not really a complicated process. Bill jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2005 11:53:38 PM   I agree that if there are extenuation circumstances an attorney would be helpful. I must admit that in my case, my lady had never been married before, had never lived anywhere else, there were no children involved etc. etc. My case was pretty straight forward. She also speaks EXCELLENT English so any questions she had I could answer. If it had not been this straight forward I might have used an attorney. But for simple cases - it still amazes me that guys pluck down that sort of cash when they don't need to. IceChaos Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/13/2005 1:00:01 PM   I thank everyone on here for their input. Hiring an attorney would really be for her piece of mine and not my own. I will add that in my case it seems that she wants me to make the decision about an attorney and was a bit frustrated when I asked her opinion on the matter. Of course it may just be to her what she sees as a large sum of money being wasted on hiring a lawyer. Wmferg, if you don’t mind shooting me over a copy of your letter you can email me a knightmancer@yahoo.com. I am in the process of sending her the new bio sheets and some more information on what is required from her. Ice IceChaos Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/19/2005 9:46:17 AM   I have another question that hopefully someone on here can answer. What is the difference between a letter of intent and a declaration? I know that one of them needs an affidavit but they both sound the same to me. Do you need both? And lastly does the fiancé need both or just one from her end? Ice Neonred Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/19/2005 1:36:21 PM   Ice, I followed the format from visajourney exactly including their suggested letter of intent written and signed by each of us on seperate pages. Must have been OK because 12 days ago I received the NOA2 approval and now the package is being sent on to NVC and then to embassy. We both have divorces and children but still the process has been smooth. Did not use an attorney. I laugh every time I read the posts in VJ that people write about how their attorney screwed up. Sent it to wrong processing center, didn't include correct information, long delays because of their errors, and in each case they got paid very well in spite of their stupid mistakes.
