K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhy no visits after K-1 process has started?
I want to thank everyone for your comments. I guess I took the following quote in the "Fiance and Marriage Visas" book by Bray too literally. Bray states in a gray box titled "Stay Put During the Application Process" in Chapter 5 that, "... once you've submitted any part of your fiance visa application, you're unlikely to be granted a tourist visa." So Christine WILL be able to visit me in the States - very nice!

Thank you all again - this is a great web site.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhy no visits after K-1 process has started?
Does anyone know why, once we begin the K-1 visa process, my Canadian fiancee cannot visit me in the States until the visa is approved? We live about 300 miles apart and visit each other frequently - me driving there or her visiting me by train. Everything I've read states that she cannot visit me again until the visa process is finished. I'm just curious to know why.

I don't mind driving to visit her for the 6-9 months we'll wait, but don't understand the rationale prohibiting entry into the States once we're in process.

Oh well, I shouldn't complain too much. It's not too hard for me to see her, and we have telephone and webcams as well. I know some of you on this site have gone without seeing your love for months and months - that must be very hard.

I expect to submit the I-129F tomorrow - Cross your fingers for us.

Thanks,

Steve
