K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHell after NOA2

; FINALLY!! It seems like everybody has stopped being judgemental!!


She made a huge mistake for not giving him the information that she was just not ready to make the huge step, he made a mistake with the whole Valentine thing going on.


Bottom line is, yall can point fingers to each other, but people do make mistakes, it's all about forgiving each other in a relationship.

People who said that he has to "man up" are just very judgemental.

All he asked for was MENTAL support, nothing else!! And for some guys here saying to man up princess is just nothing more than pathetic. Every person is different, everybody handels this kind of situation differently than an other person would do. Just don't kick him further in the ground as he is going thru a hard time anyways.


They both made mistakes, LOOK BEYOND that, yall rather look further than the problems and look for solutions to resolve this!!

LIKE I SAID: VISAJOURNEY IS SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPORTING EACH OTHER, and if you don't agree with how the OP has handled the situation, then don't comment at all and only let people who are willing to give him possitive mental support post comments on his topic.



As for the OP: GOOD LUCK, and I truly hope you are going to be OK very soon!! It seems she already has decided to move on, it takes time for you to get ready to move on and find a woman who is ready to love you unconditionally.




BTW. I don't want to sound like Mrs.doctor Phill, but because this is a very emotional ride, all I want to do, is give my two cents and throw out some possitive vibes and optimism!! :innocent:



Actually if you read his first post he did not ask for mental support he asked several questions all relating to why his fiance did all of these "wrongs" to him. The people of VJ were just letting him know their opinion to his questions based on his story. You should not come on to a forum which has a whole purpose for advice and sometimes debate and not expect answers from both sides. I would hope that you do not live in a place where everyone will comfort you and tell you that you are right even if you are horribly wrong.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHell after NOA2
From your posting it sounds like you are stuck in your own egocentric world. She got you a Valentine's present and it got lost, so what? She did try, what else do you want from her. And then you go off and have a hissy fit about her not caring about you when she did send something.

All you did was call to see how she was doing in the hospital. It seems like her family was trying to see how far you would go for her (you did say you would do anything for her) but you didn't try to visit. You don't know if the message from you ever got past her parents, she may think that you didn't care about her while she was sick.

How is it that when she is sick she gets one phone call from you but when you are sick it is a total meltdown....?

Don't set a date, you will only be stressed and disappointed. Wait until you have the visa in hand, you have 6 months to use it and after you enter, 90 days to get married. 9 months is plenty of time to plan flights and a small intimate ceremony.

In my view a relationship, which is supposedly going to lead to marriage and a lifetime commitment, cannot have been all that genuine if it cannot stand three and a half months apart. And a long distance relationship which does not consist of a strong emotional commitment is effectively being a pen pal.The idea of looking at options (which there are several) and then choosing to just break up is ridiculous for a committed couple. If my husband could not have got a visa to the US then I would have gone there to live, or we would have lived some where else, not just given up!

Did you even have a relationship? Or were you just pen pals with benefits. Because 3.5 months sure doesn't show commitment or desire to me.

I would not expect any actions for at least a month and a half or so. You don't want to get anxious too early or you will burn out.

Hi everybody!

So I am new here and I am wondering how long does it take to get K1 visa cause I just cannot wait a minute longer not seeing him... sad.gif but he'll be here in MARCH 2010!! Can't wait...

Actually, we haven't file or done anything yet, right now we are doing research and asking around on what we should do to apply for K1 visa...


Well, you don't say what service center you are from, but usually the K-1 will in total take from 6-8 months total. So you may just be approved in March if you applied in September.

RFE's are typically given once you are about to be adjucated. The person reviewing your case will either decide to approve you or that they need more info to judge your case. You will occasionally get one right when you sent in the packet, but that is for more obvious things like you are missing a form or something. Those are really the only two times someone will look at your information and the rest of the time it is sitting in a box waiting. Its not like they are studying your case for 4 months before they decide you need an RFE.

It takes longer because of the time it takes for them to mail out the RFE, for you to receive it in the mail and then to respond back. Then once they receive it back, the adjucators usually take one day to go through all the RFE's they've gotten back to approve or deny, so depending on who you are working with that time can vary. I know it is hard to hear, because anytime waiting is precious time, but it really doesn't add on that much time to your case. I am sure everyone would rather get an RFE and respond then to be denied right away because of a lack of the information.

Good luck everyone. Many people think they will get an RFE and they don't. In my opinion these are many people who freak out and send a book with their application when in many cases it is not necessary for that stage (unless you are at a consulate that needs to be front loaded).

Does anyone know if the estimate dates on the timeline page fluctuate due to case load?

I could swear they are earlier now than before.



Just popping on to say Hi and good luck to all. Our NOA1 was from June and now our petition is on its way to London as we speak!!

To answer your question, the dates fluctuate immensely in the beginning and will even out after around a month or two. The closer you get to the approval the smaller your projected days or approval will be. Ours started out saying it would be in October and ended saying we would be approved Sept 3rd (we didn't get approved until the 16th though.... sad.gif)

Also, I would not rely too heavily on the USCIS for updates. The last updates I had were two touches one on Sept 16 and one on the 17th. There is still no update to say that we were approved and its been more than a week....

You need tax transcripts or returns with W 2's. Have him call the IRS and have them fax a copy of his tax transcripts to him, or have him go to one of their offices. Have him scan these and email them to you. You print them out and take them with you. Or if he has his FULL returns including all W's he can just scan these and send them to you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 Expedite Request Approved after 17 Days!!!

My reason for financial hardship was for all the expenses I incurred with my first.K1 that was returned from the US Consulate in Kingston, Jamaica, the new expenses I will have to incur once again with my new k1, the days without pay that I took to visit my fiance, and the fact that we are expecting our child together in March. Also, the burden of helping my fiance out sometimes financially due to his job instability in Jamaica. Also, the burden of taking care of myself and my four year old daughter as well. I provided proof of everything stated which included a letter from my job. Also, I stated by when I would need my expedite. I had a load of reasons and proof to back it up. Once you can prove your financial hardship with evidence then your good. One key thing I pointed out to them is the fact that I make way above the poverty level so when it reaches the Consulate in Kingston I dont have to worry about them thinking I wont be able to support my fiance when he gets here.


Not sure how caring for yourself and your own child qualifies as a hardship considering as you said, you make well above the poverty line. Nevertheless, good luck in the process.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow much does an RFE delay your case?

When your file gets to a person's desk they have to approve, deny. If they are unable to approve they will RFE, essentially putting your case on hold, once you answer that RFE appropriately they can make that decision ASAP and hopefully approve your case.

If these are big areas of concern in general in Tunisia then it will be an area of concern for the interview, not that you can't show that you have a relationship but you are going to need alot of solid proof to overcome these factors. How big is the age difference? 5, 10, 35 years? Are you both strong in your faiths or were you just brought up in that religion?
