Do it. Take a chance a few of us did. You could only try.

Parole is almost exactly the same as the k1 and much faster. We filed our k1 in Jan 2022 and the parole in Oct 2022 we just got approved for the parole. The k1 process will probably be another 6 or more months.

My fiancée is in Cuba and our NOA1 was Oct 18 2021. I filed i-134a on Friday. 

 

To be honest, I hope this parole happens first. I like the idea of her coming sooner and us having a little more time to plan a better wedding. With K1, we are trying to plan like 3 different weddings - Will we be getting married in winter, Spring, or summer? Where I live, those seasons really impact the sort of wedding you have and since we don't know when our 90 days will start, it makes wedding planning a bit difficult. Now if she comes within the next couple months, then we can check out wedding venues together, and pick the ideal date we want for our wedding. Such a better immigration path than K1 imho.

How will this work when you get called to the embassy for your K1 interview? Would that still apply? Would they have to fly back to their country for it?

I understand. Is this possible If we already received a NOA1 and waiting for a NOA2?

If my fiancée is granted parole then she will come to the USA and we will cancel the K1 visa process because it no longer makes sense.

 

What does the K1 process provide? It provides a piece of paper that allows my fiancée to come to the USA for 90 days with the understanding that within those 90 days we will get married and file for adjustment of status so she can remain in the USA with me as husband and wife.  

 

What does the parole (subject of this email) process provide? It provides my beneficiary (aka my fiancée) a piece of paper that allows her to come to the USA for 2 years. What happens after that 2 years? Well it depends on the person and the situation. In my fiancée's situation, we will get married sometime within this 2 year windows (probably in the first 6-12 months, and then we will file for adjustment of status so she can remain in the USA with me as husband and wife. 

 

So hopefully this makes it clear what I am doing. K1 doesn't give you anything special that this parole doesn't also give you. In fact the parole (if you are eligible) is a much more desirable immigration path in my opinion because you have more time to plan and execute a wedding. And the nice thing is you can do both paths at the same time and then cancel the one that would resolve last.

Yes you can apply for both i-129f and i-134a (parole) if you meet the requirements of parole. Note that this parole is only applicable for citizens with only one citizenship from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Cuba. Additionally you need to meet the same financial requirements that is required for i-129f.

But how would this work if the fiance is in the US when the embassy calls for the interview?

Just get married and file for the cr1, thats our plan now.   The K1 provides no benefits over the Parole.

Our I134 took about 2 1/2 months to get approved. We applied about 6 days after they opened it up for Venezuelans 10/25/22 got approved on 1/7/23.

Oh wow! That's  amazing. So once you get married you file for the CR1 and it would start your timeliness over but at least your fiance would be in the states.
