K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDo K1 visas take about 1 year? how long did yours take?

Mine was filed Dec 2012 and got the visa Sept 2013 which was typical for London at the time. Plus we got transferred from VSC to TSC. As stated the visa is good for 6 months plus (in London anyway) they will not schedule the interview until they have medical results and readiness form so you can control it a bit that way.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-797 question

As far as I know you have 6 months from the date on the visa to enter the US then 3 months to get married. I do not believe the date on the NOA2 has any bearing on this.

 

As for Miami POE read the reviews they are on this forum.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 Approved heading to DOS.

It means USCIS have done with it and sent it to NVC who will then send it to your local embassy who should then contact you via letter.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan my wife come visit me with the tourist visa?

I went over to the US while our K1 was being processed with no problems.

 

I had not even thought about not being able to, i just went.

 

 

Obviously she will have a return ticket and maybe take something to show ties back to her country.

 

I also had a letter from my fiancee, notorised stating she would not marry me until I returned to the US with a K1 visa.

 

Never got asked for anything.


nobbieMaleUnited Kingdom2013-09-26 16:15:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresA straight up question, give it to me straight.

How about you see an immigration lawyer? Find out what the position  really is.

 

I would be very careful of doing what you are suggesting, if the onus is on you to prove there was no intent you may have to prove it.

Only you can know how to do that.

 

Think of the repercussions if you get it wrong, you can file for K1 while she is there in the US , she can still visit while the process is going on, she may just have to return home a couple of times during the process.

London embassy mixed some of my paperwork up and when I contacted NVC to see if they held copies they said no, none of it, it all goes to the embassy.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat vaccination proof is needed from UK for D-260

Just noticed you are IR1 so not sure about the procedures there although from your timeline your case is not in the UK yet anyway.


nobbieMaleUnited Kingdom2014-03-03 10:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat vaccination proof is needed from UK for D-260

you will not get an interview date until after the embassy receives your medical results, so if you are ready then go ahead and do the medical, there is typically a 2 week wait for it anyway.

I had 2 jabs at my medical, MMR and TD they were around £30- 35 each, that was in August last year.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting fiance without activating K1 visa

I would not try it, it's a 1 shot visa so if you enter and trigger the 90 days to get married you must, or leave and have to start again I would imagine.

Just get him over or meet somewhere else.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129 versus I-130 opinion!

if you file for aos and get GC you dont lose your current citizenship, thats a different process. You will still be a citizen of your own country. It may become an issue if you apply for US citizenship.


nobbieMaleUnited Kingdom2013-09-24 10:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI lied on my B2 application - will this hurt our K1 chances??

Sounds like all you need to do is apply for the K1 visa and then go back home before your B2 runs out or your I 94 and then just get on with the process.

 

Could you not have gone on VWP I think Australia is in it, or is there a reason you had to apply for a visa?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExperienced K1'ers

Took me 9 months, just over actually from posting petition to interview. It does seem we were a bit unlucky with timings, got transferred to Texas from Vermont but we had no RFE's, just how long it took.

That was through London, low risk country, you are in Pakistan which may be higher risk so could take longer. You perhaps should look on here for the nearest sub forum to Pakistan and ask people there about timelines and so on.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPassport inside the sealed K-1 envelope from embassy

I do not know where you are but in London you get a large courier envelope inside that was my passport and another sealed envelope with the docs inside you do not open. I think you will find the big yellow one is just the envelope they use to post it..

 

You will need your passport to travel with, they need it at the airport where you check in to start with.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1VISA in my passport- can i go visit without using it!?

if you enter on your K1 then thats it, it is only good for one entry. I am failry sure you cannot go to the US and ask to be admitted on a VWP and keep the k1 for when you want it.


nobbieMaleUnited Kingdom2013-11-23 13:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow does USCIS calculate 90 days- is it calendar days?

90 days, my k1 entry stamp was 10 oct and it is good until 7 Jan, thats 90 days including the day you come in. We got married on 20 Oct and filed for aos within 10 days, might as well.

Dont see why it should matter. I had C1/D, B1/B2 and B1 (ocs) visas one of which was still in date (in old passport) and it made no difference to me. As long as you came and left within the correct time why would it matter.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCBP officer did not take brown envelope?

Did they definately admit her on her k1 or did they let her in on a VWP. I realise she will have had the K1 but maybe they scanned her passport and saw she had a Visa waiver and stamped her in as a tourist.

 

I would be inclined to go back to the airport and find CPB office and sort it out there if possible.

 

I wonder why you have left it this long to do anything about and why did she not proffer it to them when she came in. Bit late now but just curious.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolice Certificate Question

Standard version is what I got, i think the only difference is how long it takes to get it. I do not think it is a version of the cert itself, just if you want to pay extra to get it quicker.

 

You are better off asking a UK specific question in the UK forum you will get better and quicker responses that way.

Also I hope they don't want a note from my parents verifying our relationship. My parents are totally unsupportive of the whole thing and would not do anything to help. However other family members and friends would write one. I am 23 and my fiance 29.

Why on earth would they want anything from your parents at your age?? It will be some bit of paper you need to send or correct something you have sent. Your parents have nothing to do with it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTouring Europe After K-1 is Issued BUT Before Entering US

No problem, why would another country care about a US visa, anyway within the EU they will hardly look at the passport of a UK citizen.

I would advise you to file for AP and EAD along with your AoS as it will come through in 2-3 months whereas the GC may take a year and he will be stuck in the US and unable to work. Costs nothing extra if you file all 3 together so why not do it?


nobbieMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-17 04:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk1 visa

Only if you get married then file for a spouse visa which seems to be taking a good while now, about a year. You will not be able to use the K1 as it;s a fiance visa and you wont be a fiance anymore.

be very handy if the timeline were filled in, it's difficult to see where you are in the process. You say fiancee so you're not married therefore 485 and 864 dont come in to it yet anyway. They have to leave after 90 of entry, thats it really
