Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can answer my questions...

I filed K1 Visa and received my NOA1 8/29/2017, my fiance is from Lebanon in the Middle East (anyone else file from Lebanon?)

I was curious as to if he is able to come visit on a tourist visa while we wait to hear what the news on his papers. Also, if my fiance comes to USA in April/May... (with hopes his papers got approved and such) can he return back to Lebanon in June if my family and I decide to go? Or will he not be allowed to enter USA again if he already entered on K1?

Also, SO SO annoyed with USCIS, was hoping to know what was going on with his papers by now. Do you guys think being that he is from a country in the Middle East it was take longer to approve his papers?

 

Thank you and wishing a swift process to all August filers!

Tourist visas can be tricky to get depending on many factors, including location.  And there are always "issues" with people coming from the Middle East, especially under the current administration.  

 

Once your SO is here they can return to Lebanon if they apply for Advance Parole, which gives a non-citizen the right to leave and re-enter the US before their green card is in hand.  I believe you must be married already and have applied for the green card in order to be eligible for AP.

Sorry- I don't know
The app only lets me scan 500 cases at a time. Am August 9th so I just quickly just looked at cases around me.
@Naes should be having a breakdown for us sometime today of ALL august cases.

 

I just wanted to let people know there is  major movement today and to look at their cases on the tracker or their mailboxes

Hey thank you 😊

Hello @Naes,

 

Do you think that the Christmas/New year's holidays where senior adjudicators may have taken vacation time could have caused the May/June bottleneck? Maybe, now that the holidays are over the process will go quicker?

No. Christmas or thanksgiving is not a new thing, yet this didn't happen last year where hey actually had more applications.

 

The amount of application they say they did in their report doesn't even match.

Hello all August fillers! Congratulations for all who got approved!!🎉 

I have question: does anyone know  how long our petition can stay in embassy before interview? I am August 7 filler, still waiting for approval. But I am also working by contracts and just got offer for a job for 6 months, starting immediately. 

Thank you in advance
