K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDisparity Between VSC and CSC and
Its not like we can take it to the supreme court to make a change. Unfortunately we are just left in the dust. I too am a CSC filer and I feel like I need to wait half a year when a VSC filer only needs a few months. There might even be many who filed at the same time I did and be married by the time my K1 is approved.

This can be a very frustrating for me and honestly it is trying my patience. If there was something I could do then I would make any arrangement possible to have that done. Since non of my relatives are in congress or in any executive government, all I can do is wait, even if the process takes 12 months which it is starting to become a reality to me.

This sucks, but I try to hold the positive point of view considering the fact that one year may seem like a long time, but it really does go by fast. If for some reason my K1 is denied. I am not sure if I can do it again, but I am sure that I will try to create that bridge for my love one way or another.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE PLEASE HELP ME
Easy, just don't worry and stay calm.

All you have to do is prove to them that you really met this person within two years. So send in the proof with the given examples they have given you.

Good luck and don't worry. You will survive the RFE.

If I remember right mine took 6 days. Not long at all. NOA 2 is a different story. Take a look at the Immigration timelines.

You can expect anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Too hard to say exactly when. Putting together a neat petition might higher your chances of a quick approval. Other than that I cannot think of anything that would help.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa process take so long to release this month?
Have you tried calling? I would just double check to see if there were errors with an address or something. If you have already done that and they said keep waiting then I guess that is all you can do.

Stay strong you are almost there! SO CLOSE! I imagine this is a painful period.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSuggested Meeting Place: Terminal 4, JFK
You will not be able to meet her in the Terminal 4 area. She will go through customs which is right next to the baggage claim. Since you are going to meet here there you will have to meet her next to the exit of the baggage claim area. Wherever that may be.

Whenever I went to the JFK I had a connecting flight so I was required to go through security.

You will find your loved one, no worries! smile.gif

Well it appears I should have waited until I got home before posting! Checked the mailbox and the NOA1 was there!! In reading other timelines, it appears the NOA2 takes a little longer, so while I wait, I'll just enjoy my three week vacation with the love of my life! Leaving for India next Friday, 3/21, spending three weeks with my fiance! Too darn excited I can hardly stand it.

Thanks again!

That is a good question. I would assume all you need is a one way flight since they know your loved one is immigrating.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F and birth certificate
Do you have any copies of them hopefully?

If not that is alright, I know you can get another copy of the birth certificate if you need it but that might take some time. I am not sure what steps you need to take in order to get that, but I imagine it does take time and you may want to jump on top of that as soon as possible.

Sorry I don't have as much helpful information as you may need.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCompleting and submitting all k1 paperwork on your own without attorney or consultation
My suggestions;

1. Plan time to do the paperwork.
2. triple check all your paperwork
3. Follow guidelines here in Visa Journey EXACT
4. As questions here on VJ when you don't understand.

You follow these steps and are willing to put forth the effort. No attorney is needed.

Good luck.

Thanks everyone.. I'm thinking I should just send it all in and get it under way. Don't want to screw my chances up.. I'll send it in and see what happens. Worst comes to worst, I can hopefully postpone my interview for a little while, etc.


From what I understand the interview is the only thing that can be postponed.
BigCityDaveMaleHungary2008-03-20 23:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQ's regarding NOA2/Pkt 3
Would it be possible to get the Visa and then use that time as well while it is valid?

Intentionally getting an RFE sounds like danger as well in my opinion.
BigCityDaveMaleHungary2008-03-20 22:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa vs. B-2 Visa
I believe if you were to go the B-2 route it might be doable but you will run into possible obstacles. I know someone who came over with a Visitor Visa, got married and because of that had to wait 5 or 6 years to get a green card.

If I were you, and this is because you Love this person and plan on being married to them. Petition for the K1 Visa. Mainly because the Embassy knows exactly that you are petition for someone to immigrate to the United States, which is your main goal right? So you would therefore avoid unnecessary obstacles.

Good luck!
BigCityDaveMaleHungary2008-03-15 11:21:00

Here is what I'm worried about, my job, address and assets have been very scattered since I try living abroad to be with her.

All the consulate will be concerned with is your current income and employment situation at the time of her interview, which should be reflected in the affidavit of support. Your past employment history doesn't matter, and if you are well over the 125% poverty guideline (which you should be, unless you have a lot of people depending on you) then your bank information is also unnecessary.



Great - thanks -- I thought that was the case but I wanted to have someone else tell me that - thanks again!
