K1 Visa questions

[smasbreuk 0]

Hi all, i am from Indonesia, and my fiance from Nevada, i have some questions about K1 visa here because i don't know about what's NOA or the other

1. My paperwork right now is in USCIS as Initial review ( Form I-797C )and what do i want to know is, usually for how long it will be take until we get a letter to NVC? is it takes around 2-4 months or it would be different for each person?

2. And after get approval so will be go to NVC ( national visa centre ) and what should we prepare for this step?

3. Should i translate my birth certificate for me to bring on interview in USA embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia? or they will send something to me by mail for me to bring on the interview?

4. If we get approval from USCIS, NVC and then do interview, is that possible if i will get deny for visa in USA embassy in Indonesia?

i think that's all for now and thanks a lot for your help

1. 5+ months until NVC

2. CLick the word 'guides' up at the top and look for info on the K-1

3. Yes, tranlations are necessary, to save time have them done now

4. Yes, most denials will happen at the consluate. If you prepare a strong case you should have no worries

Good luck

Welcome here smasbreuk.

1. The timeframe is different for each person, for each case. Normally 3-5 months but some quicker, some longer. Mine was longer, take 6 months and more to get the approval due to the earthquake in Haiti before, so the USCIS seemed took care them first than us. Just be patient.

2. After you got approval, prepare:

a. Certified original affidavit support form or I-134, collect at least the paystub of ur fiance's wages, ask ur fiance to send you the letter of employment from his office/company, bank statement, proof of assets, one year US return tax page/1040, and W2, proof of ongoing relationship, etc. Ask ur fiance to send u the certified original copy of his divorce paper (if he married before). You also have to bring the Medical Check up review. The translator and the clinic must be the ones they choose. They will let u know about the translator and the clinic you should use the service on Packet 3.

b. Complete the papers that will be sent later by embassy by email. This email we call it Packet 3. They gonna send the Packet 3 to ur fiance's email and they gonna ask him to forward this email to you.

c. The Birth Certificate with English translation is one of the paper that include the packet 3.

d. So far Indonesian Embassy approve 99% of the petition.

Dont worry, just keep stays and active here, and searching, then you gonna be smart about it by yourself. While waiting the approval, you can search about this and that here. This site is really helpful.

Just to be clear - it is best (for you and everyone else) to post questions in the forum. This way you'll get a consensus of answer(s) and others can learn from this as well (that's why we're here after all). PM is fine but you lose the benefit of doubt.

The best thing to do is to review/study/learn the Guide as it will lead you in the best direction. The K-1 Flowchart is great for giving folks an idea of what happens in what order and about when to expect it.

Once folks have a better overall understanding of the process - then come back and ask specific questions if you have them.

Hope this helps.
