I am sorry to hear this Brock. If I were you, I would go for a visit to be with her. While there, I would work on getting an expedite based on her medical condition. The USC needs to be the one to request this process. I am not sure if this would be a good time to get married though, because you would want you both the remember the day for a long time and be fully aware of what is happening. I think the most important thing is that you go to her, now.

Visiting her does not go against your K-1 visa. Do what YOU need to do.

Oh if only it was that simple Harpa. Her chemo is in a few weeks so I am going to go there for a few weeks to be there by her side. I cant afford to spend too long there otherwise it will go against me with regards to the K1 Visa.

I will call the TN governor and senate to see what advise they can give me or to see if the can inquire about my case.

Thank you all for your support, I will of course keep you posted.

Damn it! It won't let me edit my posts lol! I think it is a maximum of 90 days. With that in mind I'll book my tickets as soon as I get paid. Better get a return ticket so it seems I am going back to my country, even though I really dont want to.

She did manage to call the USCIS last night. Strange thing is, is that they said that they are preparing the documents to be sent to te US Embassay in London. Why is it strange? Because she has yet to recieve the NOA2 nor NVC. Its great news if it is true, but we only filed the petition at the end of May...

well I am not sure if you can trust what they say unless you have it in writing. What I would do is go there to see her and you two should try to expedite your petition while you are there... or while you are there find a lawyer and see what are your options... but remember! when you fly to the USA while you have a pending K1 , you have to show ties to your country like job, lease etc

What would be good proof of ties to my country? Letter from my employer? Bank statements? Letter from my landlord etc?

Surely the fact that I applied for the K1 Visa would be a good enough reason to return to my country? Lol!

That's a good idea, see if we can both get our petition expedited as soon as we can. If we stand united it would make our reasoning stronger...

Of course you want to be with her under the circumstances. Depending on what your employer allows, but yes 90 days max.

Yes, all those things for ties to your country... you can only give it a go and as usual, there are no guarantees - it all depends on how it goes on arrival in the US. Best wishes to you both (F)

Mar 2011 - After 5mths denied for lost docs - Attempts to follow up failed. Mar 18 2012 - I-129F sent - No sign of NOA1 but they have banked the check...Jul 24 - Update - USCIS has located our file

That is actually the reason they might not let you through the POE... you have no idea how many people are fed up with all the wait and decide to go to the US to get married and adjust the status from there...

Yes a letter from the employer plus a contract if you have, a letter from your landlord with a lease contract, bank statement won't do any harm either. That's what I always have while traveling to the US :)

Wow really? I woulda thought the K1 would have reinforced the fact that you are returing to your country, but what you say does make sense...

Would buying a return ticket instead of a single be enough proof as well?

the return ticket is : a) cheaper (I know crazy right?! ) and b) shows you are intending to come back so it's rather a must than a choice if you want to make sure everything will go smoothly (no guaranty though!)

True true! Nothing is a garantee I know that, but at least I have to try. And a return ticket will be seen as evidence that I intend to return back to the UK...

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd keep you updated.

Got my plane tickets booked for next week. Going to be by her side for three weeks during when she will have chemo. She watns to thank everyone here for helping me and supporting us during these dire times!!

In other news, she called the USCIS to see where abouts our petition is in the queue (we are at VSC).

The petition has been expedited!

We should receive the NOA2 within the next 2 weeks!!!

Just really happy, thought I would spread some good news to people!

Lol if I am like this now wait until I actually get the NOA2! :dance: :dance: :dance:
