Hi everyone.....

I have been an avid visitor of this site and got myself registered recently as i find the forum and members here very helpful...As i am doing a head-draining research all the time as much as i could about matters concerning K1, i have read on one site a personal write-up of their experience on dealing with the K1 process....and my question is:

1. Letter of Intent to Marry

my fiancee just wrote a letter of our request asking them for their assistance in helping us process our papers and just wrote BOTH our names under it...with NO signatures from BOTH of us. My fiancee called the USCIS if its possible for us to send the Letter of Intent (individual with signature) and put them on our file since our file is still on que just to save time for possible delay but told us its NOT possible and just wait for NOTICE via mail. Is this just okey or Will these cause a possible RFE?...and so how long does it normally take?

We are very much concern of a time frame because as of the moment am here in Germany on a student visa and my visa expires in April..and CANT afford any delay.... :blush:

Can any of you guys here give us a helpful advice of the issue just to relieve our worries abit?

thank you soo much....

The original packet should include both the petitioner and beneficiary's letter of intent (see example here). If you did not include this in your original application, you will have to wait for a (possible but likely) RFE.

An RFE may delay your application, but they generally don't have a significant impact on your processing time.

Good luck,

Caro

Right but you can forget April. The process takes longer than that.

Just prepare the Letter of Intend and send it already to the United States to your fiance(e) so the letters can be sent out once the RFE shows up. It is very likely that you will get a RFE
