K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOctober 08 K1 Filers
So...what is everyone's guess for the time between NVC and your interviews? There is only a handful of people on here coming from Sweden..so it's hard for us to gauge. I know it is speculation at this point....any thoughts?

whistling.gif Boooooring Monday...I want to see some more approvals!
Hopefully, people will update their timelines tonight with approvals!


I hope so too! Just one approval for today...thus far... I also keep in mind that there are thousands of K-1 that the VSC is working on that might not be on VJ... soooo keeping that in mind too..


True...but I don't care about those lol. In my opinion, if I'm not moving up on Igor's List, VSC is not working! haha


Precisely! tongue.gif

My fiancee has let me know that the past two years and nine months apart have taken their toll on her. She does not wish to wait any longer, however she cannot leave Thailand till mid-July due to a contract. She is begging me to go see her during our Spring break, even if just for a week. I would love to go, yet I am weighing costs and other factors. I know she can wait another five months, she's just seemed to have lost most of her patience.

An NOA2 may be just the reassurance she needs right now to get her through the next few months. That sounds quite cliche, but I do sincerely believe it.

Take care all VJ couples.


How did you file a K1 4 months ago meeting the requirement of having met within the past two years if you haven't seen each other for 2 years 9 months????? That is a super long time, hang in there! I haven't seen my fiance in just over a month and it feels like a lifetime, I'm going back in 2 months 1 day (or just follow the clicker in my signature! lol) Sometimes I wish I could just jump on a plane for a weekend trip, but cost aside the airplane is 2 1/2 hours by bus from his house and I would be travelling so much it wouldn't be anywhere worth it. The upcoming 10 days is going to be the shortest trip so far, so we'll see how that goes!

I realize that I'm waiting for the NOA2, just waiting for that approval...and I get excited knowing it's close! tongue.gif Then I get down realizing it's just the next step and there's a couple months after that too sad.gif And reading some posts about people getting stuck in AP for months ohmy.gif Terrifying! And I can't even tell my fiance because he gets down worse than I do. When I first told him about the November filer getting approved last month he got really upset wondering why other people get approved before us who filed after us, etc.

Either way guys we've got to keep each other cheered up - post touches, anything! Like all of you, I actually look forward to Mondays for the first time in my life because it starts the work week for VSC wink.gif Hang in there!



I agree that it is easy to get down when you realize that there are several steps after the NOA2 mad.gif But, I read someone's post here on VJ the other day that completely made sense to me...it was something to the effect of: it is best not to look at "the big picture" but rather take each step as a major milestone. That is the way my SO and I have begun looking at this whole process, just piece by piece. It seems to make it more digestable.

As far as AP. I am in denial about it...I just have to believe that it will not happen to us. tongue.gif

Oh my gosh, I would go go go if there was any window of opportunity. My SO and I have been apart for
less than 30 days and it is torture. We have decided after this we never want to be away from each other
for more than a week.

I cant wait for Monday either!!! good.gif

Hey Everyone,

On Igor's List, I have noticed that there are several members in the October filers section
(as well as the other months) whose profile name is not underlined--there is no way to click
on their names. Does this mean they no longer exist on VJ or is their profile set to
some type of privacy function? huh.gif


I read somewhere you can create a timeline if you are not a member of VJ. I think that's what these are.

Seeing a few approvals from September 29th is a good sign that they might be starting with October soon! Also since we are both Oct. 29th maybe that means in one month (or less)!

It sure would be nice to get some movement soon. I've been looking at some of the approved petitions, and it looks like there's an average of 157 days from NOA1 to NOA2. Now depending on whether or not you are at the beginning or the end of October, this puts you somewhere in March. A little early would be nice! Either way, I'm hoping they keep up with whatever they're doing up there - finally approving 6-8 K1s per day, and I guess this doesn't include any who have received an RFE.

Some October approvals would be more than welcome anytime soon!



Exactly! If VSC could just be a bit more consistent each week with approvals then IMHO I don't think it would be as gut wrenching...

Hmmm...wonder what the difference is??!?!?!?! ohmy.gif I'm #303 on the list you attached and #312 on the other one I've been watching....



I have no idea.....I believe that the list you posted organizes people by the date their NOA1 is issued and the list I posted is organized by the date people sent in their petitions (so I suppose yours is more accurate in a way-however I feel like there is little rhyme or reason to the USCIS system of processing petitions so neither of these lists are that reliable crying.gif ).

Hello all and welcome to the new additions! smile.gif

The more I read about people who got married in the US THEN filed the paperwork, the more I think that's what we should've done...especially with how slow VSC is moving now! From what I've read from other VJers, it is not fraud if it's an honest and true loving relationship. My finacé kept on telling me that it would be better that way (non-K1 way), but I kept saying "I'm not about to move to the States and become an 'illegal alien'!!!" I can be soooo hard headed!

oh well too late now! Any one else have or had that debate?



Well, since every time Johan has been here in the States has been under VWP it would have been hard
to explain that he came here without the intent to immigrate .......
But, now I wish I had taken a year or two off, moved to Sweden (where the residency & work permit application is 3-4 pages, takes 6 months max, and costs $50 USD), gotten married, and done the consular filing option...then come back...

Hi Everyone:

I have a question for those of you who are using a co-sponsor for the I-134. I have read through old posts and the example form here on VJ...but can't find a direct answer.

Regarding Q #11..the example form uses "N/A (K1 visa process for permanent residence)" as the suggested answer and left the preceding box unchecked.
However, in some posts, petitioners have checked "I do intend" and listed specific contributions.

In addition, should the sponsor's answer mirror the co-sponsor's answer?

Any advice is appreciated biggrin.gif

Thanks!

We shall probably have less than a dozen people in attendance, as none of her family shall be attending, and besides my immediate relatives, I am not expecting anyone else. The ceremony in Thailand shall be the big wedding with the entire village in attendance.

I like the idea of engraving something special inside the wedding bands, whether it's each other's names or another significant phrase.


Tom has had something engraved on mine but it's a suprise.



I love this idea!
Johan and I have matching phrases that are meaningful to us engraved in our engagement rings plus each other's names. I don't think it is corny, no way!

Wedding rings?!?!

I was looking at sites online for some ideas. I believe I speak for my fiancee and myself when I say that we prefer simple. But now I wonder, do we spend a little extra and buy platinum or save on white gold? I would be willing to spend $1,000 on hers and just buy myself a $50 titanium ring. Do I go cheap on myself, or do I treat myself?

Generally I do not wear any jewelry whatsoever, not even a wristwatch. I would be quite willing to wear the wedding ring as a sign of my commitment , however opulence does not attract me.

Is it customary for a man to select both rings or the couple to choose together?

How is this going for the rest of you?



We chose to follow the Swedish custom, wherein both the woman and the man wear simple engagement bands which we chose together. Then, when we get married or sometime shortly thereafter, I will get a second ring with a stone and Johan may have stones added to his ring or have his ring enlarged or some additional design element.

Most couples that I have known in the US choose their wedding rings together unlike how the man often chooses the traditional US engagement ring.

As for the white gold v. platinum debate-I have heard that platinum is more durable whereas white gold must be re-plated every few years to maintain its white sheen.
Lucky enough, we prefer yellow gold and do not have to make that decision luv.gif

We met in 2003 in the UK. He liked my boots, but didn't ask me out to lunch until 2007 in the US. We've spent the GDP of a small country on flights to see each other during that time and can't wait to see each for Christmas and New Year's.

Best of luck to everyone!


Woo hoo! Now the wait begins lol.



Great idea Laura!

My name is Anne and of course Johan is my fiancé. We met in Atlanta over Christmas 2007 when Johan and his friends were on holiday from Sweden. I am in my final year of law school and work part-time as a law clerk. Johan is a partner in a clothing company that he and two friends created last year. I have many interests: riding horses, pilates, golf, scrapbooking—but these are all on hold because I spend most of my free time skyping with Johan and reading/studying for school. Johan’s interests are ice hockey, playing World of Warcraft, music, and working out too.

Johan and I are fortunate because we last saw each other on October 1 of this year when Johan was able to spend 3 months here in Atlanta and I am going to spend five weeks in Sweden beginning December 9th over my winter holiday.

We cannot wait to be married and start the next phase of our life together! I always think to myself that if we can make it through an international long distance relationship and the visa journey then we can make it through all of life’s challenges! We are both very grateful for this website; it is incredibly comforting to know that there are so many others in a similar situation.
