Questions, questions about K-1 visa

[LittleFlowers 0]

Hello all

I'm an American female and my fiance is Italian. I have been reading so much about the K-1 visa and I'm really anxious. I sent out the application plus documents and the G-325a as well as letters/statements and photographs. Maybe that's a bit overboard, but I want this ride to be smooth, not bumpy.

My application, according to my USPS priority mail, was received at the Dallas lockbox Thursday, August 25th.

I have so many questions. How long will this process take? Did I do the right thing in adding extra info? Also, I have been employed a little over two years full time with my current employer. Before that I was just getting started in my field. I support myself. I am worried about so much.

I just want to marry the man I love. Any insight from those going through this or especially have gone though this?

Thanks so much.

Relax. Everyone worries and panics about possibly not doing enough. You're not alone! Although it seems like such a daunting process its actually very straight forward and simple. So stop worrying

I took extra effort in Our i-129f petition because i was very similar to you - worrying. But we just received our NOA2 after only 52 days! (Crazy fast )
In the ring binder I had:

G-1145 Form
I-129f Form completed and Signed
G-325a for me & fiance + passport photos

Proof of Fiance citizenship (birth certificate)

Signed letters of Intent to marry

additional information for Question 34a (How we met & how we met in person)

Photographs of us together with dates and locations

Copies of my passport that showing stamps of when I traveled to the US.

Copies of boarding passes.

Copies of some of our text/skype/Viber/Email conversations (to prove bone vide relationship)

For all the evidence I also wrote a cover letter stating what the evidence was. Every page was signed initial at the bottom also.

It was a lot, and I may have supplied more than what I should have but I wanted to ensure I had given them everything they needed.

In regards to financial support, as long as you're earning over the poverty guidelines you should be fine!

I hope that helps!!

Wow... You guys are breaking some records here! I think that's faster than usual for processing time, isn't it? I was wondering, did you both wait for the notice to come in the mail/email/text? Or were you frequently checking your status online and you noticed it... followed by a text message/email/mail?

yeah it is really fast, i got mine 70 days later from my noa1, which is considered normal.

but in summer time uscis is getting faster or they just got less files than they normally have at winter time.

Hi..I am in the same situation as you. My case is a little further along. We got our case number and invoice number today. Everything has flowed along smoothly. We did get a RFE but, it only took about a week (we were expecting it) lol. You can follow our Timeline if you like and feel free to message me anytime. I am really getting nervous about the interview now. Its coming so fast now. Anyway, this website is great. It offers so much great information and moral support. Good luck!!
