hey guys quick question- me and my fiancé have been approved and this was 6 months ago. My visa is about to expire. Due to some family emergencies (my mum is sick, my parents are divorcing, my dad being arrested and entering rehab- the stress it caused me and my mental health) I haven’t been able to travel. I’ve seen that I could possibly get a re issue instead of having to re apply, things are starting to settle down a bit but not in the time before my visa expires. Any ideas? Any hope?

to my knowledge you cant re issue it. you could try to contact the consulate and ask, but they give you 6 months and expect you to move in that 6 months. yes things happen, but generally, the govt doesnt care.

 

reapplying either for k1 or cr1 is likely the only choice you have if you dont want to come right now

i 485, 130, EAD and AP

04/09/2019    NOA1 received/check cashed i 485 and 130 (direct adjustment)

11/7/2019      Interview- Norfolk

11/10/2019    APPROVED (notification rec'd 11/10, approval dated 11/8)

DONE FOR TWO YEARS!!! ;)

 

Filed everything ourselves with no RFE's or delays.

 

CR1 for Child under 21 (20 at time of filing)- Filed by LPR Spouse for his son

4/4/20     Mailed packet

4/12/20   NOA1 rec'd

10/14/21 (havent heard anything... when do i start to get worried?)

9/15/22 APPROVED! Now to wait for NVC and interview....

 

ROC

10/14/21 Mailed to AZ PO Box. Let the waiting begin. Again.

Hey thanks for replying guys I checked their website and it is possible so I emailed them and they said this: 

Please allow us to clarify that visa cannot be extended. If you are unable to travel to the United States before the visa expires, you may return your passport with the unused, expired visa and immigrant visa packet to the Immigrant Visa Unit, together with a covering letter explaining why you could not travel and requesting reissuance of the visa.

 

If the consular officer determines that it is possible to reissue a visa due to circumstances beyond your control meaning you were unable to travel, you will be advised at that time how and when to undergo a new medical examination and pay a new visa fee.

 

Please reply to this message after your visa has expired and we can advise you at that time how to submit your passport, immigrant visa package and covering letter to the Embassy. 

 

I’m assuming that means I can as long as I can prove it, or give enough reason.

When are you planning to using the visa?

 

Also, given the circumstances of your situation back home, the K1 visa may not be ideal for you if you plan on being able to travel back home for emergencies. Remember, you won't be able to work or leave until after you are married and file for and receive your work and travel documents. It is current;y taking 4 - 5 months to receive those documents. That is a long time to be in limbo.

I’m planning to go as soon as everything is sorted with my mother after her appointment on the 15th, just until things settle down a bit in regards to my family issue and my mental health. Nothing has changed between me and my fiancé and we are still ready to be married (we’ve waited 6 years) but unfortunately life does happen and our lawyer said this would be our best route time wise and without going through the fuss of another K1

 

i understand that, but I’m hoping once they find out what’s wrong with my mother and I’m in a fit enough state to fly again I’ll be ready to go
