K1 Fiance - Sweden

[ananta19 0]

Hello -

So we filed for the K1 fiance visa and the application was accepted on July 21st. Because my fiance is a citizen of Sweden she is permitted to visit the U.S. without a Visa for 90 days. I was curious if there would be any issues with her visiting in November just using her Swedish passport for a month or so while the K1 visa process is underway.

Based on the info I've seen on here, we are estimating about 5mts for till the interview notification - roughly end of Dec. Is that about accurate?

Thanks in advance you your help.

As long as the visa hasn't been issued yet, your fiance should be able to visit without a problem. Just make sure she brings proof of her return ticket as well as proof of ties to her home country so that the CBP officers have no reason to believe she's going to overstay illegally or anything like that.

Amy you just beat me to it!

Yeah, that thread is really helpful. My fiance is trying his first visit to the States after we applied for the K-1 in a few weeks. He's just staying for about 9 days and is bringing loads of documentation (a copy of our K-1 application, our NoA1, a return ticket, a letter from his boss stating when he's expected back, and a few billing statements just in case).

Oh, and Gap,

Thats so exciting that your fiance is coming to visit soon! I'm headed off to England in 17 days and at this point I'm just trying to make the next 2.5 weeks go as fast as possible! I'm sure you must be feeling the same way! I wouldn't worry about him getting into the US, my fiances never had a problem. He's been put through secondary security a couple of times but no real hassles. I think they save the real trouble for the Canadians!

Thanks Amy, that makes me feel a lot better since your fiance is also from England. Does he usually just bring what I mentioned above? I wish I could just relax about him getting in but I won't until he is actually exiting the gate and walking towards me. The worst part will be waiting for him at arrivals not knowing.

I just got back from England in July myself, whereabouts is he from? Mine lives in Loughborough (outside Nottingham).
