Hello everyone, my fiancee and I are currently "living" in India, waiting for her passport to be returned with a K1 visa. We've read every thread on this forum about "being stuck in Application Received", so we're not looking for answers, lol. We're just trying to cope with the waiting, and I figured since we've been reading everyone else's situations, we should post ours.
I traveled to India July 25 to accompany my fiancee at her interview on July 30th in Mumbai. Her interview went very smoothly. The officer was nice, didn't seem to worry about any of the information in our case and rather quickly approved the visa. She received the white approval paper, and we left the consulate with nothing but joy......then the weeks started piling up.
July 30th - Day of the interview, case changed to Application Received (non-immigrant).
Aug 12th - case was "touched", but no status change.
Sept 7th - today, still no change. (1 month +1 week total time)
We've both gone through all the cycles of depression and hope (jokingly). We've had going away parties with her family, done some sightseeing......and now we are just waiting. This past labor day weekend was supposed to be the first weekend in the US. My family was planning to visit as a welcome home gathering, so I guess it's just hitting us extra hard right now that we are one of the special few experiencing the longer wait times.
Thankfully we've made no non-fundable plans, and I can work remotely. Worse case I have to leave her behind because my visa expires. (trying to extend my visa, but yet another government process that isn't working out smoothly, lol)
Anyhow, thanks for listening, I hope everyone has a great week!
