K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 Visa: Can I file it by my self or is agent/laywer highly recommended?	Oh yes! You can TOTALLY do it yourself!!! If you have a pretty straight forward case, by all means, save yourself the money! If you have some hard obstacles like a serious criminal past, a previous overstay, etc etc. I would suggest getting a good immigration lawyer. Before we found VJ, Nick and I had contacted a lawyer who wanted to charge us $1800 bucks! Seeing all the amazing information on this site in the Guides and all the amazing people on the message boards, we knew we could do it. Best of luck on your journey!!!	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2007-12-04 23:04:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How long after approval	QUOTE (JKD_88 @ Dec 5 2007, 09:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Once we get the NOA2 how long until we are finally together here in the U.S.? Check out the K1 Flowchart It gives you info on each step of the journey. Once the NOA2, the case is forwarded to National Visa Center and then on to the U.S. Embassy in the beneficiaries country. Getting an interview can take many months depending on the Embassy. CLICK HERE to look up your fiance's embassy to get some information about it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance Visa or Spouse Visa - Which is quicker?	Hey Paul! Welcome to VJ! Congrats to you and your fiance So what you want to do is check out the Guides here at VJ, look on the left and choose either the K1, K3 or CR-1 options and then you can have a look at the requirements, etc. Then there are also our VJ Timelines that will help give you a rough estimate on what to expect time wise. The K1 is slightly faster than the K3 or CR-1 but not by much at all. The whole process takes anywhere from 6 to 10 months processing time, so a move in early 2008 (which isn't far off) is quite unlikely. I'd do some research, read it all over, take a break, come back and read it all again. It's a lot of information to absorb but once you do, it's pretty simple. Best of luck to you!!!	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2007-12-06 07:25:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Paying for your Visa application fees	Good job That's good info. The only thing that would discourage people from using a money order is not being able to get the tracking number that you get with using a personal check. When the check is cashed, it is scanned and you can ask your bank for a copy of it right away (some even show an electronic scan online) then from the back of the scan you can get your case number which you use at USCIS.com once you have made an account. That way you can track your case. With a money order you have to wait until you receive a hard copy of your NOA1. Best of luck to you Wayne!!	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2007-12-09 09:23:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Marriage outside the U.S. on a K-1 visa	QUOTE (Jason-Sasha @ Oct 30 2007, 12:13 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My darling Sasha and I hope to be together by spring 2008. We want to get married soon after her arrival in an attempt to adjust her status sooner than later. We have also decided to celebrate the occasion with a very small, private wedding away from our home in Virginia. Rather than spending loads of money for a large formal wedding that will only satisfy relatives and friends, we've opted to spend very little on the actual wedding and enjoy a nice long romantic honeymoon. If we spend thousands and thousands on a wedding, we will not be able to take a nice honeymoon together. We would like to take off for somewhere tropical, marry there, vacation for a week, then come home. I'm not sure if she will be able to travel to the Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Barbados, or other Carribean Islands. Is it possible?? Or perhaps we will be limited to somewhere within the U.S. We would settle for Florida or Hawaii, but would prefer to go to the Carribean. I'm sure if I researched enough online I would find the answers, but I'm medicated right now for a severe migraine and I'm feeling quite lazy. So, thanks for anyone who can answer this for me definitively. Also, does it matter if we get married in any place other than our home state? Thanks again... Hi Welcome to VJ. The answer is no. Once your fiance enters the U.S. with the one time entry K-1 Visa, you must be married within 90 days. Once you get married you apply for your AOS and at that same time you apply for advanced parole. Without the advanced parole, she can leave the country but will be denied re-entry and will have to start all over again with a spousal visa. I would get married in the U.S., you can have a small ceremony, you don't need to spend a lot of money. Apply for her AOS, get her AP (which takes a few months to be issued) then take the honeymoon of your dreams..you could even renew your vows down there if you like.

Click here for comparison of the two, as well as info on the CR-1. We chose the K-1 because we wanted to be together for the first year or so of our married life. It was a personal preference.

Just wondering when you need the foreign applicants birth certificate? I know it doesn't say that you need it in the first packact, but I thought I read that you COULD put it in if you want. Just wondering if we need it towards the end, just at the interview or what?? Thanks for any help?! Hi Although it doesn't ask for it in the initial package, many include it anyway. There have been some instances on here where people have received an RFE (Request Further Evidence) because the beneficiaries birth certificate was NOT included. Stupid I know, but hey, they can do what they want. We put mine in ours. You will need it for the interview too.
