May 2018 K1 Filers

[jakejon 1,196]

Hey guys, 

 

I’m a Dec 2017 filers here, K1. I would like to wish you all the best and speediest wait period. I never thought as the months passed that I could visit the US (beneficiary from the UK) but I took the courage and done it. I used the preclearance in Dublin and I’d really advocate any EU or non-EU citizen worried or anxious about coming over to use this facility. It was a truely wonderful experience. I found a few trips personally broke up our wait in chunks. Now we are waiting for them to finally begin December. 

 

Everyone on here is super awesome and there’s so much support from other threads. Can’t believe it’s day 161 already, 5 months into “the wait”. The time will fly by and love conquers all! ❤️

 

All the the best guys, 

Jon 🍀

thought I'd pop in again. Paul has driven down from canada every 3 weeks for the past 2+ years (for a long weekend). So, him coming isn't ever a big deal, as far as border crossing goes. But last week was the first time since receiving the NOA1. Not a single problem crossing at the peace bridge (his normal POE). They asked when we were going to get married, and he told them 'as soon as the US Gov't says we can'. Guard said (basically- im paraphrasing here), 'well, you can do it any time', and paul said 'yeah, we're playing it by the book, we get married once the visa is done'. And he was in. Didnt ask for any of the paperwork he had or anything. Guard seemed happy with his response and that he wasnt planning on staying

 

hoping all of them go that smoothly!!

we are lucky, but I also wouldnt ever even get into a relationship where i couldnt see them that frequently! but thats me, i know different situations present themselves to people all the time. even 3 weeks is getting (emotionally) longer and harder as time passes.

We received NOA1 last May 10, im just worry to get RFE my fiance stated he was arrested way back 1998. Disorderly conduct, trespassing, and drug paraphernalia. But when he got his police report it was just one case of arrest which is just disorderly conduct. He still stated The 3 cases even if just one case on his police report, because he told me those 2 might be gone now on the police record but USCIS double check the his back ground. He said he dont want to lie and get in trouble. Is that okay we sent our case without statement on his lose criminal record? Im anxious about our case 😞

Keep thinking positively one of my friend, her boyfriend (husband now) didn't put any info on 129f form if he has a kid, just because he think he never been married with his ex girlfriend, so he considering himself as a single and NO kid, they even just met once and applied for the K1 less than a year in relationship. They met online on February 2017, meet in person April 2017, and applied for the K1 on June 2017. And glad they made it, she got her visa on March 2018🤗 Soo keep spirit for you, fingers crossed!🤗

Usually (other than the paper notification you'll get in the mail if you haven't already) that's been the case. Every once in a while there's a "name updated" or something like that just before NOA2.

 

Though I think maybe the new web site sends an automatic status email every two weeks even when there's no action if you've signed up there.

Hey guys, 

 

I’m a Dec 2017 filers here, K1. I would like to wish you all the best and speediest wait period. I never thought as the months passed that I could visit the US (beneficiary from the UK) but I took the courage and done it. I used the preclearance in Dublin and I’d really advocate any EU or non-EU citizen worried or anxious about coming over to use this facility. It was a truely wonderful experience. I found a few trips personally broke up our wait in chunks. Now we are waiting for them to finally begin December. 

 

Everyone on here is super awesome and there’s so much support from other threads. Can’t believe it’s day 161 already, 5 months into “the wait”. The time will fly by and love conquers all! ❤️

 

All the the best guys,

Hey Jon! 

 

Im flying into the US at the end of September, I’d never heard of the preclearance before I read your post. I’ve just briefly googled it and will look into it further. This is majorly helpful as I’ve been a little nervous about visiting before we move onto NOA2
