So I was wondering.. are anyone else planning to visit the US or have their fiancé visiting the US with the K1 pending? I'm flying over next week and I'm a little worried now that we now have the visa application pending. I've been reading other forums and it seems to be ok just wondered if someone else was having upcoming trips and were worried..... cos again.. I worry about everything lol 😂

Hi we sent our application April 1st I was here as I came to visit and help fill the application. I'm here until June as I'm allowed to stay 90 days using my ESTA visa. 

You can visit as long as you have the correct visa and don't overstay your allowed time. Also have your return flight booked and I always have proof of this to show at border control.

Ah ok cool. Thank you 😊😊 I'm travelling on my ESTA and have return flights booked. I'm only staying for 10 days but I was also gonna bring my NOA1 and letter from my employer stating the date I'm expected back. Hopefully it will be fine 😊

So regarding the scans, we are talking about that script geowrian made for November filers that people from the different months have been using to track the whole amount of every month cases and how USCIS is working on them. It's a complete register of cases with the current status each day (approved, RFE's, etc.), which gives us quite an accurate idea of how are they progressing and when we can start to expect an approval, though sadly enough USCIS is very inconsistent in the way they work and you can always get stuck untouched forever...

 

Anyway, as I said before, I've already started to work on it and will let you know how it goes. I don't know yet if I have the right tools to do it, so I'll come back to all of you so we can all figure it out if I can't... but I'm going to try.

I can do the scanning if you'd like, I'm the IT guy you are asking for. Just send me a PM.

Hah, you saying IT guy like that made me think of Jim Carrey's cable guy. Hope you are more reliable than that 

 

Expect a PM from me very soon.

Does any one know what type of visa the K1 applies for?  just wondering since eventually we need to apply for it. That is soooo confusing. lol  Is it a nonimmigrant visa or an immigrants visa?  

[lon552 437]

The K1 Fiancé visa is a non-immigrant visa because it's conditional. If you don't fulfill the 90 day marriage requirement then it becomes void.

Non-immigrant Visa with immigrant intent and benefits, which is the reason why at some stages of the process you'll find it under the immigrant visas section (ceac/NVC and Embassy).

Hello fellow April filers! Newbie here. I guess I should give my info. 

 

Filed: 4/4/17

Received: 4/10/17

NOA1: 4/13/17

 

My anxiety is high. I didn't do all of my research before we filed our I-129F. Passport photo of SO is not exactly 2x2; I typed, cut, and pasted notes behind the photos; my cover letter had birth certificate/passport yet I sent a copy of naturalization certificate. I'm putting it to the stars and the universe, like I do to many things I am not in control of. Good luck to all of us!

Hello you  Welcome to the April filers family.

 

I'm sorry to hear about your trouble with the petition. Anxiety is a common thing around here. I think the only thing that should be a real concern is the passport picture, since the rest is something that any person with a bit of common sense could understand and not send you an RFE for. Then USCIS is not known for their common sense

Regarding the passport pictures, I think that might also depend on the officer reviewing your case, but you can always get 2x2 pictures beforehand  and have them ready in case you get the dreaded RFE to send them back ASAP.

 

Anyway, don't suffer too much in advance, because this can be a long wait and already a nerve wrecking process as it is.

 

Good luck!

Hi! I just visited last week and had no problems.   I specificially said I was visiting my fiance and they never asked for any evidence I had that I was coming back (return flight booked, letter from employer).  They did question why I had 100 lbs of luggage but I said I was there for almost 2 weeks and also had some camping gear on me (which was true).  I was still a bit worried though but I hope if they see you are doing it legally and that you MUST return home for the interview, everything will be fine .

Hi!

Thank you so much for your reply! That's what I'm thinking, surely they'll understand we wouldn't waste money of filing the I-129f if we weren't going about it the right way. I just get so nervous because I will be so upset if I don't get to see him lol

The visa is called a K1 visa.  Like others said, it's a non-immigrant visa with immigrant intent.   When it gets to the point of filing the visa application and scheduling your appointment, you complete the non-immigrant application (DS-160).  When you schedule the interview appointment, you select immigrant visa and it will give you the option to choose K1.
