holaa yo soy from Panama too ! I would recommend you to leave then ask for him as your spouse! but you musy knoe that if you leave is not going to be easy at all ! long distance love is hard if you married him already ask for a ir or cr visa and if you arent married ask for a k1 os the fastest . dont really call the embassy or uscis they dont help go thru google actuslly this website helped my hubby and I a lot :) good luck on your journey

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI'm Aupair Can I start k1 visa now While I am in United States?
oh well if is about culture then I recommend k-1 visa I mean processing times goes up everytime but I've heard that you get approved in three months only problem is that you have to be his fiance and get married in USA because if you get married in thailand you wikk have to apply for either k3 visa or CR visa and believe me is a longgg wait ! but good luck and follow your heart you guys will do great!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI'm Aupair Can I start k1 visa now While I am in United States?
hiii congratulation I was an au pair too and met the man of my life while being an au pair ? here goes a smart advice from someone who made a big mistake and left the usa to try to live and married abroa woth mt hubby ! best option is to start to apply as soon as ur year is over of course start before that to get all the paperwork together then apply u wont be illegal while your case is pending ! I would say go for adjustment of status is the fastest and better way to be together and never separate also just in case check your visa if it says two years requirement it means you are not allowed to stay inthe usa when ur au pair year is done if it doesnt then u r luxky :) I could tell you a bunch of things but smart advice stay in usa girl I left nd now im paying for.it waiting to.get approved 6 months ago :( good luck and read a lot to not mke mistkes

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNervous fiance.

idk about your story but is pretty normal to be nervous just talk to her Skype her call her or surprise her going there a couple of days before her interview ! if u can go with her to the interview she will feel a lot better ! look up some question they usually do in her country for k1 interviews and read it with he, practice everyday and help her to gather all the extra evidence that she wants to take to the interview !! don't worry show her ur confidence about the case and tell her to come join vj too and read the guides !

 

good luck  :thumbs:

USCIS Service Centerswhen is a good time to phone about my I-130?

oh I completely understand you ! it's been 3 months since my husband and i sent our i-130 we are so nervous about it we can;t wait to hear from the uscis or have at least an update! i guess the only update you get about your case its when you get it approved, it stinks cause you gotta wait a lot and u don't kno how ur process its going on or nothing.. i guess we all have to be patient and get ready for the long wait !

 

good luck :)

USCIS Service Centerswhy K1 applicants are being approved so quick?

 

No I'm not mad. They just lucky. The point is I just don't understand why they get approved quickly I know they still need to get married, file AOS etc. But for IR1/CR1 applicants submitting I130 is just the start and it shouldn't take ~ 8 months (if not more) just to get the petition approved. 

hi I'm the same Im not mad at them Im mad at the situation how come us that are married don't get it as fast as they do ! isn't a marriage certificate more reliable thant a ring? this tell us that USCIS is just looking for their money ! so sad that we have to wait more than a year to get approved like I mean do they even adjudicate well these files or they just see it and approve it? this is more of a risk than our visas but oh well Im happy for the other ones lucky them that don't have to wait years  :reading:  :reading:  :reading:  :reading:  :reading:
