Hi all

I am new to this thread, I was on another Jul thread but that had both Service Centers on it.

Just wanted to see if I am being crazy, does anyone else check their status on the USCIS website 3-4 times a day???????

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly '08 filers
Hi All

I just got my AOS approval thru today. I was sitting here thinking about how far we have all come. This has been some trip. I remember sitting in my bedsit in London in Dec 08, waiting for the US Embassy to send me an interview date. There was a hold up because it is a pain to get police records from Hong Kong.

To this:

arrived USA Apr 29th, Married to my gorgeous wife May 30th, Received EAD 27th Jul, Started work Aug 5th, offered President position in new company from current Boss Sep 25th, received notification of Green Card approval Sep 28th........ What a year...... It was very tough going thru all those emotions, feelings of elation for the future coupled with feelings of boredom and sadness whilst waiting for other entities to be incharge of your life. We all understand why we have to go thru this, but it doesn't make it any easier......

I think we should all feel exceptionally proud of what we have been thru and hold our heads up high... Good luck to everyone for the future and take each day as it comes. If you have problems or worries, just remember that you have had to go thru on of the toughest emotional trips ever to get to where you are now.............

And finally, Thank you to each and everyone of you for writing on this website to keep us all full of hope, help with questions and support those who are having difficulties. This has been a lifeline to me when I was on my own in London.........

Thanks good.gif

Unfortunately, I live about 350 miles from Manchester.

If any of our travels take us in that direction, I will PM you so we could maybe meet for a pub lunch.

I will be on a plane faster than you can say 'here is your visa Mr Jones'

In our eyes, the May wedding will always be our wedding date and that is when we will celebrate it in the future, however, we know that when I enter the US we have to get married within 90 days. We will do it very quietly and just between us, just to get the paperwork done, then have a good shindig on May 30th. p.s. We are going to Hawaii for our honeymoon wwwwooooowwww

I would like to think so. From filing to May 30th is a little over 10 months. I will be very disappointed if it does take that long. I know it was a gamble, but when we booked it we didn't realise the red tape that we had to go thru.

I am hoping that the process will be done by Feb 09. When the application for the K-1 was sent in, we put all the paperwork in it that proved we have booked a wedding on that date. Hopefully they will look at that.

If it does carry on and it looks like it is going to be too close for comfort, then we will have to have a rethink. The invitations wont be sent out until we know for definate, eventhough everyone knows about it.

Its a waiting game but my misses is worth waiting for.

Lets see how we all progress.

Good luck to everyone for a speedy process. My fingers are crossed fior us all.

Hi MarcusKelli

My fiance is near Tampa, Florida and that is where we are going to live. We looked at dates in March, Spring break time, but found that the prices were cranked right up. Hotels for guests and cost of wedding was nearly double that of any other time.

We have booked for May 30th laughing.gif , as that is when my kids are off shool.

I can't wait to be there.

Hope this helps.

Hi all

Bit late to join but, my fiance filed for K-1 visa on 8th Jul 08, received NOA1 31st Jul 08 at Vermont. It was touched on 5th Aug 08.

This is a long waiting game but my misses said something that really touched me. She said;

'I am just thinking of the prize at the end of this process, and that is you coming here to be my Husband'

Brought a tear to my eye. crying.gif

Good luck to everyone and I think my misses is 100% right, lets all be positive. good.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresContacting Your Employer
Does anyone know that once the Embassy receives the documents that you have to send in from pack 3, do they contact your employer?

I only ask as I have started a new job and have not told them I am waiting for a Visa as they probably wouldn't have employed me!!!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTravelling to see Fiance during K1 VISA PROCESS!
I travelled to USA during the K1 process and had to go for second screening. I had a copy of the filing to prove that we were doing things properly and that I was just visiting and had full intentions of returning. At that time, I didnt have any ties to the UK.

When asked, I told the Border gentleman that I was visiting my Fiance for 6 weeks. I think I was selected for second screening because in the previous 2 years, I had spent a lot of time in the USA. I had never exceeded the 90 days in accordance with the visitor waiver program, we would nip on a long weekend somewhere.

In the second screening, I was asked a lot of questions and they searched my bags thoroughly. I showed the K1 packet and explained where we were in the process. This took sometime as the female border officer couldnt speak English very well. My passport was stamped shortly afterwards and I was told to enjoy my vacation.
