K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	October 08 K1 Filers	QUOTE (Lizz @ Feb 16 2009, 10:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi every one, I registered on VJ last month and only just discovered the October thread! We received our NOA1 on 10/14/08, so I'm getting slightly excited. I hope we hear something soon, but I'm also worried we'll be on of those couples that are kept waiting for months, without any particular reason. Fingers crossed for everyone, we all know how awful it is to be apart from the one you love and you don't even know for how long. I also have a question, or would like to hear your thoughts about something: I would really like to go and visit my fiance in the States. Is that possible while you have a visa application pending? I have studied in the States on a student visa (during which time I met my boyfriend/now fiance). After the studies were over, I returned on a visa waiver, for just under 90 days. I went back home for 2 weeks and then returned on a visa waiver again. I was already nervous about that, because eventhough there's no official rule about how many times you can visit on a waiver, you obviously can't keep traveling in and out of the country all of the time. So, my fear was a little justified, as the officer saw I was returning on a visa waiver for the second time after only being out of the country for two weeks. I was sent to secondary inspection (a horrible place, I felt like a criminal almost) and they just ran a check on me and then said it was ok and I could travel on (phew). However, they told me to stay out of the country for as long as I had been in it, before returning on a waiver. I left the USA on July 12th 2008, so more than 7 months ago. I would like to go back over there early April for a week or two, to have a look at wedding venues, apartments, etc., and of course to see my guy, who I miss terribly. I've never overstayed any visa or anything like that, but somehow (after my last experience) I'm a little worried about going back while the K1 is pending. What do you say when they ask you what you're doing there? Do they see you have a visa pending? I've read stories about people being refused if they say they're visiting their boyfriend/fiance. Is a return ticket enough proof that you're not there to stay (yet)? I also have a job I need to be back for, maybe that helps? Hello and welcome to the group! Yes it is possible to travel, but can be a big challenge. You absolutely have to have ties to your country with you when traveling during the process of your K1 They might not ask (which I doubt), but at least you'll have it if they ask. So I would strongly suggest a letter from your employer showing that you are expected back at work, your lease or mortgage if applicable, etc. I would also expect to be questioned, because of of what you said...but it has been 7months so I wouldn't be worried about it too much, just something I'd keep in mind! Hope it helps...Good luck!	ruby_mtl	Female	Canada	2009-02-16 10:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	October 08 K1 Filers	Congrats to all the new NOA2s!! It's moving!! Rich, I agree with posters who say that the child needs a passport to travel. Since you did say that in Russia, children do not get a passport until 14yrs-old, maybe she could be included in her mom's passport? I know that's how they do it in certain countries. Also, if the mother has full custody of her daughter, I don't think she would need a letter from the father but I could be wrong....Good luck!	ruby_mtl	Female	Canada	2009-02-13 16:10:00

But if you have all the info ready for if an RFE does arrive then you can have it turned round pretty quicky. Well that's what everyone would think...everyone BUT immigration....the problem is that a piece of paper doesn't prove the paternity...anyone can sign it...for that reason, it is not enough evidence...but maybe we'll get lucky. But yeah I have everything ready and waiting: passport stamps of our trip to the Bahamas, pictures, e-mails relating to the time we spent together, and I also have a line-up of people (all USCs) willing to write affidavits to testify that they saw us together....We'll see what happens. I'm just mad at the fact that an RFE will slow us down, and unlike you, I'd move there today if I could! I already sold my apartment and moving in 2 weeks (an aquaintance was willing to pay a VERY good price for it so I couldn't wait) and raising 2 babies alone is tough! I just can't wait for us to live as a family! We're all in the same boat (minus the kids maybe!) so I know I don't have to explain...that's what I love about VJ!

You find there is the odd one that is approved within days of being sent in. Yeah I read in a very old post from someone who actually worked for USCIS. He said that some petitions are used to train people so they are usually approved very quickly since they are being worked on quickly for pupose of training.

I've been looking at some of the approved petitions, and it looks like there's an average of 157 days from NOA1 to NOA2. Now depending on whether or not you are at the beginning or the end of October, this puts you somewhere in March. A little early would be nice! Either way, I'm hoping they keep up with whatever they're doing up there - finally approving 6-8 K1s per day, and I guess this doesn't include any who have received an RFE. Some October approvals would be more than welcome anytime soon! Exactly! If VSC could just be a bit more consistent each week with approvals then IMHO I don't think it would be as gut wrenching... Well I think that some of us will most likely be approved in Feb. since almost 50% of Sept. filers are approved....so....October filers, come on down!!!!!!!	ruby_mtl	Female	Canada	2009-01-31 19:43:00

The more I read about people who got married in the US THEN filed the paperwork, the more I think that's what we should've done...especially with how slow VSC is moving now! From what I've read from other VJers, it is not fraud if it's an honest and true loving relationship. My finacé kept on telling me that it would be better that way (non-K1 way), but I kept saying "I'm not about to move to the States and become an 'illegal alien'!!!"

I feel sooooo lucky that we can drive to see each other....we don't have to worry about crazy airfare prices. Dex and I are lucky enough to leave only 3-4hours apart! You guys hang in there! We'll all have our visas in hand in no time! Lucky indeed!!! Although I bet that on some small level, its also frustrating being so close yet having to jump through the immigration hoops as well. It's a good thing I don't mind flying (used to it as I fly a lot with my job), so a 9.5 hour flight isn't too terrible. In the end, its all worth whatever we each have to deal with. I fell really ill on my last flight to the US and spend the whole flight back sleepy as I took calming pills. Now I'm a bit of a nervous flier and am dreading the 9/10 hour flight to Atlanta. Wow that must've sucked Laura...I hope hope that your future trips will go well. RBAL_TN : you are right I do feel lucky to be close, but it kills us the fact that we are so close yet so far and that we have to go through all the paperwork craziness.....aaargh!	ruby_mtl	Female	Canada	2008-11-10 11:25:00
