How to begin, how to begin!!

Hello everyone, I love this site, it gives a lot of comfort for those long distances. I'm new to this site, but I have been reading a lot of the helpful posts here. I'm Heather, and I'm wanting to bring my Egyptian fiance to the US via k1 or k3. My first question: which is faster? I have heard mixed comments about K1 being faster than K3...but I am not sure. Also, I am a recent college graduate and he is still in school in Egypt. I am currently seeking out a job and definitely need that steady income for the I-129...if I do get that job...is it ok that I just started working and I file as soon as I begin looking, or do they need a couple solid years with that same company? I really hope not. Thank you in advance for all your feedback and I look forward to the process at hand!

Unmarried K-1

Married K-3

Which is faster? Depends on what USCIS center you are able to file with and how quickly Cairo schedules interviews. Do a time line search based on your criteria.

Current income is most important.

If you have a sponsor or co-sponsor in the U.S. who will help, like your parents, then you won't have to worry about the financial part so much.

Somebody else might be able to tell you how to use a co-sponsor with the I-134.

Good Luck!

We went the K-1 route, because it is just too much of a hassle getting married in Morocco, I would find out what it takes to get married in Egypt, is it a big runaround or is it fairly simple. If you don't meet the income requirements, you MUST find a co-sponsor, I have one friend in Egypt hung up on that right now. The speed of the K-1 or K-3 will depend on the service center and your embassy. I found the K-1's to be fairly fast.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot!! I wondered about the possibility of a co-sponsor, and I got it!

Sure, if the Embassy alllows direct consular filing for a non resident then that would be pretty fast. The other possibility for DCF is if you are willing to go there for the 3+ month residency requirement, if there is one. Then you can marry him there and go for the K-3 DCF.

Otherwise I don't really know which on will be faster, probably K-1.
