K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFalse info

I was getting very frustrated with my petition as well. Had similar thoughts of scraping it and trying things the easy way. So glad I stuck with it, as it gets easier. Even though you want a quick answer that will solve all of your problems, the only thing you can do is wait for them to finish it. Taking longer doesn't always mean something is wrong. I had all of my paperwork filed perfectly, and mine still took about 6.5 months, even though a lot of people around me were finishing sooner. Patience pays in this case. Just Skype, email, and call your fiance to keep yourself occupied. Start working on preparing for the interview. Get proof together and worry about your next step.

Good luck

We had a sheet for the question how we met listing all the trips we have met and all the evidences to support it. All the proof was labelled, so whoever reviews it can easily get an overview.
Like July 2010 xxx visit yyy in USA ( see xxx's passport page 14, boarding pass #5, photo #2 etc)

As long as it is organized and they can locate everything easliy.

Thank you GandK,I want to believe that my fiancee has her travel details to show. We have started the process already since April ending. am not sure is possible to back out now.maybe if this doesn't sail through we could get married and refile. that's possible right?

Yes it is possible to get married and refile. But no pictures to show proof of a relationship is going to be tough.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen to get NOA2

Hello, I've received NOA1 at the end of May, We haven't received any news from USCIS so far.

Usually When will we receive NOA2?

Expect several months and if it is processed at VSC then at least 5 months.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Fiance Visa

Based on two threads on this subject this week alone, you should take active steps to cancel the petition. Write a letter to the Consulate as well as the last stateside USCIS address that you received mail from.

Just an FYI, only the USC can cancel the petition, so don't leave anything to chance.

Sorry that this happened, but it's better now than later.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew to all of this and no idea where to start

Also, even if you do choose to use an attorney or visa service, I would highly recommend you still read through the VJ guides and the information on the USCIS site to become acquainted with the entire process. Unless you're hiring someone who will go through the adjustment of status with you as well, it will serve you well to know which questions to ask and have an understanding of the various steps in this journey.

Yep it comes down to how much time you have available. Many of us are doing it with the assistance of this wonderful website and very helpful members.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurestexas servise centre

There is no Texas service center for K1 visas.

Your case was sent to the Dallas Lock box. From there it is forwarded to either vermont or california

Your NOA1 will have your case reference on it, also tells you the service center, EAC is Vermont and CSC is California.

You should get a letter in the mail soon that will tell you which of the two service centers it was sent. Right now VSC is slower than CSC.

The wise choice is to refrain from setting the date until you at least have the visa in hand. The same goes for any decisions that cannot be implemented until other things outside your control are accomplished.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRound trip ticket for arrival to US?

It will be no problem. It is unlikely that anyone will inquire about her plane ticket. Moreover, even if someone asked, it is a perfectly reasonable explanation to reply that a roundtrip ticket cost less than a one-way ticket. It's well known that roundtrip tickets often cost less than one-way tickets. Nothing odd or suspicious about it.

:thumbs: Just plain cheaper for round trip on many occasions.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshello
If you are the petitioner then when you apply (if you are in the US)they will do the background check. If you are being sponsored then when you have your interview at the embassy you will need your police clearance (and if they require military record). It might be better for you to post this question in the country section that you are interested in on VisaJourney website.

Also if you go to the embassy and get denied they stamp it in your passport.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary I-129F filers

For any of you who don't know... Things seem to move through NVC pretty fast. Our things arrived 2 days ago, and left to the consulate today. NVC won't commit to a time that it will arrive, but I was told that it was sent over to Moscow electronically and that I can contact the embassy next week to check on it, and I don't need to talk to them anymore. They also told me they are sending a letter telling me it was forwarded to the consulate. All I can say, is that its completely different than USCIS / VSC... So much quicker, and they seem much more helpful too.

This is some good news to hear especially after the aggravatingly long wait at VSC.
