K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved!
Hello all,


Just want to tell the world our petition got approved this morning!
NOA1 till NOA2 = 129 days

(One of my few posts up here, deliberately I tried to stay away from here as much as possible, so I won't get jealous or freak out about stuff that I don't need to freak out about).

I'm so happy :-D!

For everyone else waiting and waiting, hang in there, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and one day you'll reach it :-D!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting the USA while I-129F is pending

Well I dont have the NOA1, thats at my fiance's house. Also I dont have any property. I live with my family still. But I can take pay slips, bank statements and a letter from my work saying when they expect to have me back. If a person was to get sent home, does that affect the case? Thanks for everyones replies.


Hey Stephan,

I'm right from across the channel from you (Holland) and I've visited my fiancee a total of 3 times and will be visiting my fiancee for the 4th time next week. Never actually have I had any problems with the Immigration officers. All they ask we´re simple questions like:

Why are you visiting the U.S.?
Who is your fiancee?
How long are you staying?
Do you work at home?

Every time I've brought numerous documents with me (paystubs, work contract, bank information) and not even a single time I had to show them.

The last time was probably the easiest border crossing ever, just one question was asked:
- How long are you planning on staying again sir?

I was out of immigration within 2 minutes after the immigration officer checked my passport!

Just stay calm, be prepared with documentation (it eased my mind to have proof with me to back up my story) and enjoy your trip!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresYes, you can visit!
After my fiance and I got engaged and decided to go through the K1 process I´ve been to the U.S. twice. The first time was just before we were submitting our petition to the USCIS, the second time was roughly 2.5 months after the petition was received.

I've discussed these trips with my immigration lawyer and his answer was very clear: "Yes, you are able to visit the U.S. during your case. It will actually show the consulate in a later stage that you are still actively in a relationship."

He advised me to just simply answer all the questions the immigration officers asks you when crossing the border and always tell the truth. I've always taken my employment contract with me and paystubs, just in case I was given a hard time. Also I brought my binder with all my flight information (all boarding passes and itineraries from the past, just in case as well). But both times I had no problems crossing the border.
