US Immigration from United Kingdom

So my fiancee in London finally got approved and issued the visa September 13th. It says on his Visa it expires 3rd of January, 2025. Surely that's not 6 months to give him enough time to pack up, sell his stuff and book his flight. Now does that date also mean that's when we have until to get married? We're confused and panicking a little because we aimed to marry end of February or beginning of March 2025.

Hi, my husband and I had to re upload additional documents (w2, 1099). Every time we uploaded documents it took about 2 weeks to review and be accepted but we had to re upload these documents and have been waiting well over a month and still only says submitted . Anyone else having the same issue? Not sure whether to send an enquiry or just to wait longer. When checking the time frames our documents should ve been checked a while ago.

Hi,

Next Sunday I ll be flying out on my K1 Visa to Dallas from Heathrow Airport. I just wanted to know if you re still able to use BA s Self Check-In Kiosk at the terminal, or do you have to wait for the Check-In Desk to open for a member of staff to review your Visa?

I ll be getting there 5hrs before my flight, so i wanted to know if i can go straight through or do i have to wait around in the terminal. Thanks!

Hi all. The subject of this post almost says it all but a little more details. We applied for our K1 visa (submitted petition) around the end of July. Some situations occurred in the past couple of weeks (including work commitment) which led to the petitioner reaching out to USCIS to withdraw our petition, but now things are clearer and we wish to carry on with the application again. Can we reach out to them yet again that we want to carry on with the petition (even us know that that's a really weird move), if we do reach out to them, won't it affect our chances?? Will they even listen to us this time?
It's just a few days between the petitioner reaching out to withdraw and now, and the status of the petition remains the same on the USCIS website, although we know that takes a time to change even after the status of application has actually changed.
We haven't reached out to them yet about our change of mind as we are thinking of the best way to approach this but we literally have to continue with the application. Advices, opinions and comments are all welcome. Thanks all.

Hi all!

Well, we made it, got the K1 VISA after a successful medical and moved to the USA from the UK.

As it was March 2024, when we did the medical, flu vaccine was not available, and Covid was not unless one was 75+

Also, the medical team accepted my photos with my daughter while she suffered from varicella (Chicken pox) and wrote down 'history of the disease' thus she didn't have the varicella jab.

Move on to September, she is going to high school in Wyoming and the nurse asks for more jabs.

She wants her to repeat the Tdap as her last one in 2024 was an adult dose and thus missed Pertussis (whooping cough).

But over here nobody has Pertussis alone as a jab. Plus the pharmacist told me that unless he has a letter from the doctor saying it is safe, he won't administer another Tdap before the 7-10 years have passed from the last jab. But the nurse insists. She also ignored the clear photos of chicken pox on my daughter's body and said they 'appear to be chicken pox' but she needs a doctor to confirm that. However I cannot log into NHS anymore to log up my old notes and sure enough we did not bring her to the surgery with an infectious disease, so I doubt there is anything there.

I got the chicken pox vaccine a week before she was born and I got a huge herpes rash on my face right away and I would rather she doesn't go through that.

What could we do?

We just got our Covid Jabs yesterday. Last month I asked a local Civil Servant doctor how much it would cost to add to our medical that we both had the jabs (and soon the flu one).

She asked for $350 EACH.

I almost fainted. Just to copy one line? So I looked at all the threads here and one said that it is actually *not* necessary to bring that to the civil servant, just send over or bring the new vaccine documents.

We had our biometrics weeks ago and waiting time is 5 months according to USCIS.

so...did you have a similar experience and managed to pass the full medical in the USAwithout all these troubles?

As for school requests, the nurse told me I could request a religious or medical exemption to the state. But I might need a primary doctor for that and I am still looking for a good one.

So confused!

Thanks for any tips!
