K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresno credit history and lots of weird circumstances
I have e-mailed the Embassy in Caracas with the question if I can go for the DCF route. So that would solve so much.
If that doesnt work my boyfriend will just have to go without us.
One question.
Can he already apply the moment he gets a job? By the time I will then go to my interview at the Embassy he will be working for a few months already.
Is this possible or does he have to work for a few months until he can start the whole process?

Thank you thank you thank you for even responding.
I have been reading for weeks now and I have an idea of what to expect but not more than an idea.

I just reread the part about DCF. It would not be a problem to get my boyfriend papers since we are not in The Netherlands anymore but in the The Netherlands Antilles. I can get him papers here. The reason I kinda dismissed the option was because I thought we needed a lot of assets in stead of the affidavit. Was I wrong?
Does my boyfriend have to get a job before going back to the US or something like that.
It sounds very interesting because I just read that a DCF procedure only takes weeks.

Could it be good.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresno credit history and lots of weird circumstances
Dear all,

I am a Dutch citizen and have been together with my American boyfriend for over 2 years now.
We met in The Netherlands. He got stranded. He had underestimated the European immigration rules and had nothing left. After living together for a year we packed up and left for the Netherlands Antilles. But my man got home sick. After working illegaly for years he just wants to go home. The problem now is that we do not have any official records of him living abroad.He just got on a plane and didnt return (Iknow). We have no tax returns or residency papers. Just plaintickets and photos.

We have not been apart for more then a few hours since we have met. My 8-year old sees him as his father and we are all terrified of being apart. We have read that the K1 visa is faster than the K3 visa so we decided to go with that option. But are we right?

Question 1: I read stuff about going to the US and to just get married. Since I am a Dutch citizen I can get into the country without a visa for 90 days. Is this a responsible option? (I have a study grant that I can take anywhere so working is not important to me in the first months, though school for my son is)

Question 2: Since my boyfriend does not have a recent income history what should we do with the affidavit of support? We don't have any potential sponsers. I saw that we do not have to file the affidavit until I go to the Embasey. Is it an option for him to go to the US, start filing and then have a statement from an employer ready before I go to the Embassey? Do we also have to get statements from the IRS? And does anybody know what kind of statements?

As additional info: We are not poor but we are not rich. So I would be incredibly gratefull for any tips on how to go about everything cheap and fast.

Thank you all
