Information needed for K-1 Visa

[JuarezJeff 0]

I am starting the K=1 process and have a few questions, and I was hoping someone could help. I have a fiance in Cd. Juarez Mexico, and we have 2 children together and 1 step son. First of all, has anyone been through this lately, and does anyone know about how long it takes start to finish? Second, Due to the fact that my fiance and children are in Cd. Juarez, which is the most dangerous city in Mexico where they are killing 10 -15 pepole daily, would that qualify for an emergency hearing? Could that possibly take less time. I was told that in certain situations where you family is in fear for their life that it could possilbly take less time. Anyone having any suggestions or that has been through this and can offer some insight on my situation I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

Thank You for your time,

Jeff

That will not qualifiy you for an emergency/ faster process. READ THE GUIDES!!!! It will give you the information, also about filing for k-2s for the kids as well. Is the step-son in Mexico as well, and you want to bring him here? if so you will have to deal with their parent.

Specific to Mexico go into the portal to see what is happening there. Timelines are available to look at how long it is taking people today.

Do lots of reading!!

Best of luck

It takes about 5 months start to finish.

You can always ask if you can have the emergency service and tell them why. All they can do is say no and you wait. If they accept it, then you might only have 2 months instead of 5

You can certainly ask for an expedite. However, I suggest that when you do ask you include the following:

What evidence do you have that her life is in immediate danger. As in how do you know that they will kill her?

Why can't she move to another location that is safer? Why must she remain in such a dangerous city?

Many cities in this world have high crime rates, however this does not qualify for an expedite.

In this situation I doubt that you will get an expedite.

Good luck

Generally expedited cases of K1 s are permitted ONLY for US military personnel that are scheduled to be deployed to combat areas.

Thanks everyone for the good information. Also I do not understand the comment that someone left about the K2 visa for the children. The immigration office here in SC told me that the children would be allowed to come over with her under the K1 fiance visa. I plan on filing the K-1 med feb, I need to make a trip to Juarez first because of the biographic informaion sheet that she needs to fill out, or am I allowed to fill that out also? It requires her signature so I imagine that she will have to fill that out.

I really appreciate all of you people who respond, I stumbled on this site while searching for the timelines of the K1 Visa. Also after the 5 month wait period for the interview, about how long of wait are we looking at for her to actually be able to cross over and come up here?

Thanks
