K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp! Information Needed
Meauxna:

HI! :) Sorry I lost it there previously....wasn't really feeling myself this week at all. So our application is officially lost...not by Fedex or USCIS but by my fiance's work...they can't find the darn thing. Now we are stuck waiting until probably August 1st to try again on this. :huh: BUT....on a kind of decent news front...his boss and boss' boss want to hire me :dance: And they are aware that will mean a visa of some description for me to work. They need to talk to HR still so it's not for sure but we have fingers and toes crossed. I am still waiting for some information from my friend's mom (who works for an emmigration/immigration) lawyer but time will tell. We just have decided it's best to hold off on the K1 for now til the work thing is a definite no go....

Thank you for the support, it is so greatly appreciated. (L)

ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crying:

So here's a whole new frustrating. Daniel was checking into our application yesterday (he's been away from the office thereby trusting that my application wa mailed as instructed) and low and behold they have no record of it being shipped and no application to be found anywhere. I am so disheartened by this. :crying: We've decided that what we will do is wait a few days and see what his work has to say to see if there's a job offer and visa possibility there before sending our application again.


I just want to cry. :crying:

Thanks! :) I will admit, some days, I'm a little slow off the hop and with the number of hours I have been working, my brain slows down about this time of day. As I mentioned before, Daniel's company deals with immigration a lot so I will probably be putting the ball somewhat in their court as well as checking with my friend's mom. It's silly to think that I may not qualify for a TN visa. Here I am trying to be a contributing member of society and no trouble to the government at all and I may hit walls anyways. Hey, if some people are right on here (won't find out until tomorrow if they are) my application may be lost for my K1 anyways so the government may not know that I am intending on immigrating :huh: How has life gotten so confusing?

Just an additional side note. After looking around on the net for a long time this weekend....I am thinking it may not be too terribly difficult to get a work visa because I am Canadian so I may fall under the TN visa classification due to NAFTA. For now it's just wait and see if my fiance's company is really and truly interested but I am keeping my fingers, toes and eyes (okay, maybe not the eyes) crossed that we may get to be together sooner, without the stipulations of the K1 and that I will have employment soon.....

HUGS!

Thanks everyone for the replies. Really, it's very preliminary at this point and I'm just looking at options. His company has been looking a lot for a while and just aren't finding people to fill the positions and we aren't even 100% sure they would be interested in hiring me but thought the option may be a good one. His company works a lot with people from Japan and they are always going to the U.S. to work in affliation with the U.S. offices. The type of visa I think they would have to look at is the H2B visa due to my lack of college education. I'm not sure though. Really, it comes down to them having to do the leg work if they want to hire me. I have a friend whose mother works for a corporate immigration lawyer and he is going to send me some information. I just thought it might be a good option and also would prevent me from having to wait to get a job when I get there.....time will tell though.

Thanks again!

Just curious how fast employers can get a work visa in place. My fiance's company is desperate for people and now we are thinking of approaching them about hiring me....just wondering how fast they could get a visa in place as opposed to the K1 process....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIncome requirement?
Hi All!


Just wondering if the poverty level changes for different areas in the US. Since my boyfriend lives in Chicago, we were wondering if the requirements would be the same as everywhere else. He is currently making a good wage but he is still concerned about the requirements.

Thanks!
