Hi everyone,

This is my situation. I got a visa under k1 last year Feb. i went to US and supposed to get married there. but things or plans changed for my fiancee business purposes! we did not get married i went back with him here in Phil. we've been here since april together. he went back to states now and we are'nt sure now if he will be able to go back here in Phil. again. He want to get me again another visa. the question thats going on to our mind are:

1. Are we going to be able to get a new 1?

2. If we are going to get a k1 visa again is it going to take the same procedures and all? ie. the amount of waiting time etc.?

3. is there any way we can make it faster? like getting it extended? since we have all the documents and can add more proofs if needed?

Pls. help me with this... we are certain that we really want to be each with each other. and finally get married in US now that he is not coming back here anymore.

Truly,

Emily

Hi Emily,

You'll have to file again and go through the same wait as before. Or you could get married (either here in the US or in the Phils) and return home/stay there and file a K3, spousal visa.

Good luck!

you can file for K1 since he can not come back to the PI.

fiance visas generally take 6-8 months. ours reached a year but thats better than nothing.

good luck.

1. Are we going to be able to get a new 1? :yes:Yes

2. If we are going to get a k1 visa again is it going to take the same procedures and all? ie. the amount of waiting time etc.? :yes:Everything is the same - filing fees may have increased - depending on when you filed originally.

3. is there any way we can make it faster? like getting it extended? since we have all the documents and can add more proofs if needed? :no:No (the K1 Visa is no longer valid since you entered the US)

Pls. help me with this... we are certain that we really want to be each with each other. and finally get married in US now that he is not coming back here anymore.

Truly,

Emily
