K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2009 K-1 Filers
Ok well I called, and they told me to wait until the 30 day mark which is next monday, unless its 30 days from them reciving it and then due to USPS we will have to wait another 2 weeks.

So fingers crossed something comes this week... sad.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2009 K-1 Filers
To be honest I'm getting a little bit fed up with the ultra slow progress the CSC is having. It's been 3 weeks since sending them the form and they havnt even begun to look at it where as the Vermont centre is opening them within a few days of getting it. This whole process as a WHOLE is supposed to take 6 months and its nearly been a month where they havnt even opened it. It feels like time wasted and it's starting to get on my nerves. Would phoneing them do any good whats so ever or would that be a lost cause? Even just to enquire about it might make me feel a bit better.

I've had good luck with Continental... got my last ticket for $550 round trip


I always fly with Continental, there by far my favourite!

However a return fare from London to Alaska is £822 and a return fare from Alaska to London is around $1024... It's so tempting to go as soon as I get paid but I need to save money for rent for when I move wacko.gif

Well this lack of progress for the month of April for everyone is too frustrating.

Bought a ticket yesterday... flying out this afternoon for a week to be together.

Hope to return to the wheels turning.


I wish I had the money to do that! Have fun

hi james and megan, can u track your money order?mine is not,my fiance went to the post office and they said they cannot track it.


I can. Do you know what type of money order you have? We used Moneygram and that allows us to phone a number and input our MO number and it will tell us the status of it.

I think my mind will be at peace once they accept the payment, I just want to know something is being done to it! blush.gif

Think happy thoughts... it doesn't mean anything. It's only been a week, and there could be any number of reasons why it hasn't shown up as cashed yet.

I am already starting to worry that my check has not been cashed yet considering my I-129F was sent nearly 10 days ago...

Has anyone else had their check cashed and/or received a NOA1 who filed around the same time as me?


We just phoned the bank today to see if our money order has been cashed and it turns out that it hasnt, I think there being a bit slow. Perhaps there trying to speed the process up by dealing with new forms in a diffrent way? It could be why people are getting NOA2 so quickly! Lets wait and see. wink.gif

Thought I'd also throw my name into the mix...our I-129F was sent to CSC April 7th. I keep looking online to see if my check has been cashed yet but nope! mad.gif

It's also annoying that I won't be able to check the snail mail for NOA 1 or 2, since both my fiance and I are in Australia right now. Guess I just have to count on my parents to tell me ASAP if they receive anything!

Anyway, good luck to all of us April filers and to anyone else still waiting!


Same boat. Away from home, wish it was with my girl though. Lucky.
They have yet to cash my check yet... Maybe they will open it and approve it in the same day... hahaha. C'mon CSC be kind to us April filers.


The NOA1's seem to be coming pretty quick. You should have a check cashed by the end of the week or early next, then the NOA will be on it's way to you. Good luck!

P.S. Skype is good, too!


I wouldnt be able to live without Skype and a webcam smile.gif

Filed on Monday, I really hope this doesnt take that long. I just touched down in London Heathrow Int and I already miss my fiance... hell I missed her from the second I said goodbye at the Alaska Airport sad.gif

Also do Money Orders speed the process up at all? I used a money order instead of a cheque because they don't need to wait to clear wacko.gif

It wouldnt hurt to, but its not solid proof. You're better of just sending in a photocopy of your passport stamps or boarding passes with departure number.

Do both of those and you will be fine.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWorking under the K-1 Visa
I have a few questions regarding the K-1 process and working in the United States once its dealt with.
Does the K-1 VISA allow the fiancee to work within the United States once he/she is accepted? Were both unsure if you need to actually file for a work visa or not or if the K-1 is a kind of two in one thing.
I would like to be able to have my fiancee work once he comes over here, but were not sure if he needs to apply for a work VISA prior to the acceptance of the K-1 or not, or if we need to wait until were both married? Weve done a bit of reading on it mainly on this site but we can't figure out a definate answer. tongue_ss.gif

If someone could explain that part of the process to me in detail I would appreciate it
Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresScared
Get Skype with the Unlimited World Subscription and a Webcam. Me and Megan both use it at every oppertunity we get, before work, after work and at every spare moment we get! Its definetly not the same as being in person but it make us both happy for the time being (And has done for several years). And I know the feeling I really do, when I was in Alaska last (stayed for 89 days aswell!) I was sobbing for days before I even left and I was really scared to. But just imagine after the long wait what it will feel like when you finally return permanantly! good.gif

Also if you're looking for fun activites to do together you should consider playing an online game together! Me and Megan both met playing games together so its definetly a hobby for both of us! A few I would suggest are Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft and Guildwars! Usually when we play we have a Skype convosation opened up so we can talk to eachother all the time and we can chat! We sometimes use Ventrilo to. kicking.gif

Don't be scared, be strong... and look forward to your future. After all, what is 4-8 months when in exchange you will have infinate ammounts of happyness beyond that yes.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresStarting the process before 18th birthday?
For the United States of America the legal age is 18, that is when you become a legal adult. If you want to get married before you turn 18 you will have to have a legal guardians signature.

But to answer your question, i'm really not to sure. Perhaps ask an Immigration Attorney, or phone the embassy? They will probably be able to answer your question better.
