Hello everyone...

We are currently going through the K1 approval process (we have received the NOA1 and should get the NOA2 anytime... I hope)... My fiancee and her daughter (17 y.o.) were planning to come visit me for two weeks in July, partly so that her daughter would see how life is in Houston, and also to look at some universities in Texas she may be interested in attending. Considering that we will still be going through the K1 approval process when they make their trip in July (probably going to have an interview scheduled for sometime after they return to Brazil), I was wondering if there would be any problems with them making this trip at that time. Please consider the following factors that may or may not have any relevance:

  • My fiancee has already visited me twice before beginning the K1 process... She has dual citizenship (Brazil and Japan), so she used her Japanese passport to enter the USA, because that way she didn't need a visa.
  • Her daughter (Brazilian citizen only) successfully received a tourist visa after the K1 process was initiated (only had a NOA1). I should note that during the interview for her tourist visa she stated that the purpose of her trip was to visit "her mom's boyfriend" and to look at universities in Texas. So they know that her mom has a boyfriend in the USA, and they approved her tourist visa anyway.

Will there be any problems with them coming to vitit at that time? Anything we can do to avoid problems?

Please advise... Thanks!

Dec. 28, 2009... NOA 1

Dec. 31, 2009... Touched

May 12, 2010... Nice guy at the USCIS mercifully sent a Service Request to the VSC to inquire about our petition

May 27, 2010... Received an e-mail stating that the VSC received the Service Request. Unfortunately, the e-mail also states that the processing time for service requests is 3 MONTHS!!

June 28, 2010... Heard from my senator that the USCIS is going to send me a RFE on July 1 asking for a certified copy of my birth certificate. Why do they have to wait until July 1 to ask for this??

July 13, 2010... Received an e-mail from the VSC explaining the delay in processing our petition. Apparently, the USCIS had put on hold all petitions from US citizens born with Puerto Rican birth certificates (like me). On July 1, USCIS headquarters finally gave clearance for these petitions to be processed.

July 26, 2010... Touch

It's not forbidden to do so but I advise them having strong proof of intent to return home and to be honest about the trip.
