Greetings all!

Thanks in advance for all of your answers.

My special girl was awarded her k1 visa and arrived in the US on Feb 2. We weren't able to marry due to some unforeseen circumstances. She left today (May 1) to go back home. However we want to start the process over again as the next time she comes we will be poised to marry accordingly.

Can someone help me out with what I need to do, what I need to file and such, and also how long will it take the second time around with the same fiancee?

Again we are talking about doing the k1 a second time around (as if it weren't brutal enough the first time) with the same petitioner and same beneficiary...nothing has changed except she was awarded the first k1 and we weren't able to marry and adjust status so she went home. But we want to immediately begin the process again. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks Everyone!!

File a new petition, include proof of meeting and all other necessary evidence just like the first one. You'll need a waiver because the first k1 was approved, explaining the situation briefly.

24 hours ago I'd have advised you to get married before she'd leave and submit the i-130 after she left if she left because of something back home. You don't have to adjust status within those 90 days - only marry.

Good luck 2nd time around.

K1 process, October 2010 > POE, July 2011

I-129F approved in 180 days from NOA1 date. (195 days from filing to NOA2 in hand)

Interview took 224 days from I-129F NOA1 date. (241 days from filing petition until visa in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until POE: 285 days

Click timeline or "about me" for all details.

AOS process, December 2011 > July 2012

EAD/AP Approval took 51 days from NOA1 date to email update. (77 days from filing until EAD/AP in hand)

AOS Approval took 206 days from NOA1 date to email update. (231 days from filing until greencard in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until greencard in hand: 655 days

Everything will be exactly the same second time around- same forms, same waiting etc. She will be asked some pointed questions at the interview as to why she didn't get married first time, I assume you have a very good reason.
