K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAPRIL '08 Vermont K-1 Filers
Graham, Im sorry things are so tough. Jamerson is in the same boat, too. He is working for his cousin- in a job that is not in his industry. Its a job, it keeps him busy and brings in a little money (not his usual)- he had to get an interim apartment (as we had hoped my divorce would have come earlier and we would have started the process earlier) - its pretty much a dump but its cheap and he didnt have to sign a lease..and basically is just counting the minutes until his interview. We both have tough days- last weekend was his. He spent the weekend calling me and crying with me trying to keep him strong.. knowing that MY breakdown will soon follow. I dont think people NOT in our situation understand. They cant. It is such a trying time for all of us and a tribute to our love for our fiances.. we are required to have 5x the strength of the average couple.

Hugs to you and hang in there.. tomorrow is another day closer.

Jill

Well, we havent been touched.. wacko.gif No one even blew in my ear.
I am getting so depressed about the whole thing. Lots of crying jags
and feeling like he will never be here.

He was staying with relatives recently, b/c we thought this process would be
done much sooner (my divorce held it up) And now he had to find a temp apartment.
He just moved in yesterday. Today is a holiday there and his family came over
to give him a "house warming" I feel so sad, that its yet another experience another
day that we are apart. As much as I know its not true- because we are waiting for
our k1- there are days it feels like living our live separately is moving us farther apart
and not closer together. Every party he goes to every wedding without me.. it just makes
me cry. I am tired of feeling so sad all the time. Our lives are on hold - I dont enjoy anything
any more- I am just so obsessed with this whole friggen thing! crying.gif

Well said Kim.

The last time we parted, we promised each other.. that THIS would be our LAST goodbye.
And, now, already we are toying with the idea of meeting next month. The separation is so
difficult. It doesnt get easier, but yes, when its Fresh its so much worse.
Each time we met and had to leave I cried for weeks. We want to see each other
so badly but know what it does to us.

I wish I had a crystal ball to tell me when this
K1 would go thru. I just want to get on with OUR life together.

OMG Kim, you're reading my mind. I was just looking at other peoples timelines
who had very quick approvals, to see how quick their checks cleared! hahahahahha

Well, we sent our last Monday (4/21) and it arrived Tuesday (4/22)
so we are a week behind you guys-

So.. maybe it will be cashed by this coming Friday??? ( 5/2)??????

In any case, Im just happy to have it sent and received. biggrin.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresinterview date in Brazil
QUOTE (Aryadne e Kevin @ Sep 28 2008, 12:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi, Vjs!

Have a question: is anybody aware if the Embassy, especially in Brazil, keep booking interviews throughtout the holiday season or in case of they take a break, how long do they usually start arranging interviews...

The reason for my question is because I just about to get my case conclude at the NVC, and according to the timelines, my interview date will probably be schedule for anytime between november and december...


Thanks in advanced fpr any reply!

Aryadne


HI
We got our NOA2 on August 4th, but the interview is not until Oct 21. I have seen many not have to wait as long. I saw a bunch with NOA2 after us who had their interview before us.. Go figure? Hope that helps.. (at least now you know the WORST case scenario)

Boa Sorte!
Jill

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNEED ADVISE K1 or K3
QUOTE (Chad+Lira @ Jan 18 2008, 03:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Welcome to VJ Jill! The K-1 has a slighter better reputation than the K-3. Good luck on whatever you decide.



Thanks eveyone for your advice. I guess the question now remains.. do we want to wait it out as fiancee's or do we want to wait it out as husband and wife.

My fiance thinks that the spousal visa will be better- in that it may take longer , but is more of a sure thing (because we are already married?) Im not sure I beleive that- but perhaps

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNEED ADVISE K1 or K3
Hi, My name is Jill and my Fiance is living in Brazil at present.

I have been reading all of your postings and read the notice that came out from the USCIS
yesterday. It is very discouraging as we have not even filed yet (I am waiting for my final
divorce decree) We anticipate filing in late February or Early March.

MY QUESTION is this- We can either file the K1 in March or we can get Married in April and then
file for the K3

We plan on getting married- but we are not sure which route to go. Previously, it was my understanding that the K1 was quicker than the K3. But after reading yesterdays postings I am not so sure.

Our ultimate goal is to be together- and the quicker the better. Can you tell me- If you were me and
you were filing next month- Which way would you go?? K1 or K3 (as far as the quickest way)

Thanks in advance for your help and Im sure you will be seeing me around here a lot in the near future.

Jill
