I am from the united states and my fiance' is from the Uk. We want to get the k1 process started and send the 129f info in a few weeks. Btw i am the petionar. The thing is i am to visit him in august for 14 days. Is it not a good idea to have a k1 in progress while trying to visit him. Should i wait until i come home and then send the petition. And lets say we do decide to send the petition in before i visit could i be denied entry?? Thank you.... christy

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Travel outside of the US for the US citizen is not a problem during the Visa process. You can leave the US anytime you want and return with no problem. It's the non-US citizen visiting the US that may have a problem with entry. They will need to provide strong ties to their home country, such as mortgage/lease documents, most recent pay stub, and current bank statements and utility bills.

Thank you so much for the fast replys. I feel confident now to send in the petition. So, when i go thru custums it is ok to say i am visiting my fiance' and that we do have a petition in progress for him?? Or should i just say he is my boyfriend and not mention the k1. thanks again. christy

I dont think you have to explain yourself thoroughly with the customs. You can just say you are visiting your fiance. I dont think the immigration people will interrogate you at that point. it will all be okay :)

Before you send your I-129F in, please make sure that you are sending the right form. I understand that USCIS has just recalled 1100 applications and is putting on hold on processing due to IMBRA. A new form is being drafted and not yet finalized. I just submitted mine about 3 weeks ago and I am in limbo. I don't know what I have to do next at this moment along with others.

If you send yours in with the current application, you might have to do it again. It is something no one seems to know at this time.

I am sorry to break this bad news but one member on the Asia post whose application was just recalled at Pack 3 stage yesterday. Please review that post before you proceed.
