We started applying for the K1 visa in April, but my fiancée and I constantly miss each other during this process. This longing grows day by day and constantly gives us stress. Is there any way we can speed up this process? Is there anything we need to do extra to get quick results?

Welcome to the forum.  Sadly, no.

The waiting and separation are both hard.

Read the "Yes, You Can Visit" pinned thread.  Ask here if you have questions about your situation.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

unforuntely we choose to meet and marry foreigner and must face long wait times for any action 

the best u can do is forget the process unless u receive a RFE and need to respond

otherwise ,  when u chat ,this is the normal time for dating and getting to know each other

Gather your patience and do not dwell on immigration

 

if doing the K1 is strssful,  the AOS is twice as bad so prepare 

check the following site to  see if your case will prompt any red flag issues

 

Best to u both

Unfortunately, this process can take even up to 2 years until you can be together. There's nothing you can do except wait and communicate with your partner constantly in order to shoulder this weight together.

My fiance is the one for me so I would gladly wait to go to him as long as it took. :) What are 2 years compared to hopefully a lifetime of happiness?

When my now husband was my fiance, and we lived half a planet away from each other, we made the best of the time apart. We dated, using Google Earth to find destinations where we could "meet" and explore together. We've "travelled" to so many places, together! We had dinner/breakfast dates, wrote a song together. You can play games, and watch movies. You can read books, together.. The "happily ever after" is so worth the wait!

If there was, everyone would be doing it.
