k1 K1 questions i have :)

[ChandZey 0]

So i have a couple questions i know are silly but, i been feeling really depressed about the situations going on. 

A) Uscis has been trying to improve their backlog and i am a 2022/June applicant. İ just seen that the time started to go up again on uscis site ( was 12 when we decided to apply and today it went up from 13 to 13.5 yes its little but a lot for people waiting.) İs it actually possible that they will succeed with their goal before we wait 14 months :( ?

B) So i live in Turkey and the only way for me to go to the states ( i read that its possible for K1 applicants to go but its really hard to get a visa) is to apply to a tourist visa, but in the tourist visa they want to make sure you are going to return to your country, i have a job here and i am still studying.. İs it even possible to get a tourist visa while waiting for a k1? İ missed my fiancee and he was sick recently so i would love some help and insight on this topic :) Thanks a lot and i hope these hard tımes wıll pass for everyone :))

1. processing time keep changing and fluctuative. i know its easier to say ( ive been waiting 19 months before my i-130 got approved), nothing u can do and dont stress urself. the journey just started for u. patience is the key and every case are different. 

 

2. to apply for tourist visa u need to show strong ties with ur country. there's slim chance u can get tourist visa if u already apply for k-1 visa. but if u have extra money to burn to apply for tourist visa i guess u can. easier for ur fiancee to visit u in turkey to be honest with u

probably not going to get the tourist visa/ its more than a job / owning property and having money for the trip is also key

but having a fiancee in US is against granting one/  the embassy will assume u intend to come to US ,  marry and adjust to stay as others have done just that leaving job and family behind

 

also need to know the timeframe u see is just the USCIS phase (1st step of the process)

there is a longer wait for embassy to ask for packets to schedule interviews

hope USC can heal soon and travel to visit

we all know the long process can be a heartbreaker

just keep your chats to keeping the romance alive and try to forget immigration day to day or month to month or it will drive u crazy

Ankara is accepting only emergency appointments for tourist visas.  Even with an appointment, a tourist visa after having demonstrated immigrant intent is likely not going to happen.  Patience is the key.

There is no way to avoid the long wait times.
