Finally...

[Mimicherie 142]

For those of you who have been following my Visa Journey, keeping me in your prayers, & offering me words of encouragement; I just want to say THANK YOU. Especially the Haitian K1 Visa thread. I finally got the chance to see this wonderful update this morning:

 

My struggles with my visa journey are available to you in my previous posts on my page, but I would like to update everyone on how it concluded to issued. 

 

After following up with my congressperson around mid March to make a 2nd congressional inquiry, the embassy responded in 2 days and informed the congress to tell my fiancé to complete a new medical. The embassy let us know that they will be sending him another 221g along with his passport in order to complete the new medical and for him to send everything back through DHL when completed. This was on March 20th, it took my fiancé about a week and a half to complete his medical and send everything in. Embassy received it on April 2nd and updated my case on the 2nd, the 11th and the 18th is when my visa case status finally went from immigrant visa to non-immigrant visa. This morning it changed to issued. I am

so grateful and crying tears of joy because I finally get to be reunited with my loved one and this part of my visajourney is finally done! Now to worry about POE and AOS! At least my fiancé and I can do that together. Here is an quick recap of my time line;

 

9/19/2018- Interview went well but placed on AP due to embassy wanting to verify/confirm divorce info. I sent email asking them what do they need, if anything. 

 

9/20/2018- Embassy replied to my email asking for “submit confirmation of divorce to the national archives”. Didn’t really know what this meant since we provided them with our national archive divorce forms already, but we gathered the judgement of divorce and the newspaper announcement (customary of Haiti) of his divorce from his divorce lawyer since that’s all we have left to possibly give them to confirm the divorce.

 

10/9/2018- Additional divorce documents & passport sent through DHL

 

10/11/2018- Embassy received docs/passport. 

 

11/5/2018- my case had updated about 4-5 times in between these dates. 2 of the updates due to emails I sent the embassy and them responding. The date of the 5th is the last time the embassy ever updated my case up until I reached out to my congressman a month later.

 

12/5/2018- reached out to my congressman and they made a congressional inquiry.

 

01/04/2019 (Took a whole month!)- Embassy replies to congressional inquiry stating case documents are under review & due to security situations in Haiti they can’t give an estimated date of completion. Congressman tells me to follow up on or around March 20th. 60 more days! 😩

 

03/18/2019- Followed up with congressional inquiry

 

03/20/2019- embassy replies asking for new medical 

 

04/02/2019- new medical received by embassy 

 

04/18/2019- Visa status went from immigrant to non immigrant with new case creation date

 

04/22/2019- Visa Issued!

 

It took me 7 months in AP from interview date to finally receive my visa. 

 

I started this visa journey 2 years ago on December 29th, 2017 when I sent my K1 packet in to USCIS. I know we have a long way to go still but I’m so happy we’ve finally concluded this part of my journey. Thank you lord! 👏🏿🙏🏿🤗
