Please help, K-1 clueless and heavily pregnant

[Finnsickle 1]

Hi everyone. 

 

Here's one lost soul seeking for guidance on where to start and what to do with the K-1 Visa. My biggest fail in life is the total incompetence of understanding any paperwork

 

Our original plan was to get married in Finland. My husband to be is American. But sadly that plan fell through and he is unable to fly out to Finland for unknown period of time, I'm 6 months pregnant and we would reunite as a family as soon as possible. 

 

So if anyone is kind enough to tell me how to get started with the process and how to proceed with things, I'm more than grateful and appreciative.

He needs to petition for you.  Guides are available in the Guides section.  Read them, follow them.

 

Unfortunately, nothing in immigration is remotely fast.  You are looking at nearly a year for the entire process to complete

Start by reading the guides, then come back with questions. Nothing is fast though.

Thank you both for the response. 

 

I'll start there, as I said I'm pretty clueless lol so much so I didn't even notice the guides section 🤦🏻‍♀️ I blame the baby dumbing my mind 😂

This thread is from April.  OP is likely much further into the process by now.
