K1 Visa Process time

[chechebrick 0]

Hi myself and my fiancee , she is from the Philippines, are in the beginning stages of the Visa process.Our application just got sent to the California Service Center. My fiancee has to renew her Filipino passport, should she do this as soon as possible or do we have some time ? I heard it was taking about 5 months to go onto the next stage.

Thanks

CA is churning out the approvals in a month or less. Better get moving on the passport renewal.

I would tell her to get it done ASAP. Yes, the average time is 5 months but it can be sooner than that. When is her passport due to expire?

She must !!! hehehe .. well i go online first week of June and the schedule i get is July 25 .. see how long i have to wait for my schedule .. and i heard even u expedite your passport it will come late .. almost a month .. so she better get it .. must better to be ready .. if she got time why not start to collect everything she needs .. thats what im doing .. while waiting for the decision from USCIS im starting to get everything i need .. Sometimes hir in Philippines some takes time to get documents u need ..

it is depending on her location manila rush passport only takes 10 days and if its regular processing it would take 20 but in other areas the releasing of passports are delayed..example here in cebu it takes 2 months because the person who is incharge in processing the passport is new..

im flying to manila this month just to get mine renewed LOL
