yeah but how do you know when consultate receives case and after NVC gets it then what? must we already have submitted and prepared all the DS-forms and by then does our fiance arleady have to have it bec i know they have to bring them to the interview........... and then have medical too... when do we pay? how much does it cost? how to schedule appointment???? AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the consulate will notify the USC. if its bugging you, start emailing the consluate about the status of your case, or if it has been received. Get all your DS forms together, Support forms and supporting support info.

Get medical done, ASAP. paying is consular specific - we paid online, but you could also pay at the embassy. the cost is 240.00 USD ( i think) Our medical was about 350.00 - that included his XRAY and shots.

the embassy will instruct you on how to schedule, or they may schedule for you. everyrthing you need to know will be in your letter from the embassy.

Hi everyone!

Hope every1 is well?

I was wondering....if a person petitions for a K1 visa, and the person they petitioned for has been deported from Europe before for...is that grounds for a k1 visa denial? is there anywhere on the i129f that asks about deportation from other countries? Looking forward to your help!

Basically it depends on what you were deported for.

Relax it can take 2-4,5,6,7 weeks for the conslulate to receive your case. mine took about 36 days maybe more. if you want to email the consulate go to the website and find "contact us" and there you go.

you dont have to email the consulate with the NVC case number, unless you want too for specific information. as far as packet 3, the embassy will make sure you have everything you need it's a hurry up and wait game.

My paki fiance recieved his visa approval 5 min into interview. Hecwas asked for no additional proof. No AP . Interviewed in Abu Dhabi 7/23/13

Copy and paste it to a word doc. Save word document on a flash drive and have her take it with her :-)

NOA 2 can be 2-10 months after NOA1 mine was 6 months 3 days.

aw, noo! dont waste you hard earned money on a lawyer! you can do it just like the rest of the 4335654654645 people on visa joruney have done. really it's so EASY! ask any questions you need. all a lawyer really does is take your money and send in forms..so basically you are paying thoudands for a postal service!

Oh thank you so much You gave me so much confidence, can't wait to tell my hubby! I will surely contact you if I need any more info. Bless xx But one quick question-- my hubby will be interviewed at the US embassy in Abu Dhabi is that what you meant?

Yes, US Embassy Consulate in Abu Dhabi

DWHEELES would be a great person to ring in on this one..

you are so very lucky ( I think) to be granted a 2nd interview. just take everything you can to prove your story minus the money transfers...I think sometimes that can look off to a CO.I am praying for the very best for you. Dont loose hope, this is just a road block

Hi All

Here's my story. I am an American born citizen,of East Indian race. In my culture it is forbidden to date, and I come from a really strict family. About two and a half years ago I met this Pakistani guy online (not a dating site, just a random site for fun) Conversation didn't start off romantic but slowly started to become so. We exchanged phone numbers and started talking daily, and then started video chatting and all that. We had very much in common, we are the same age..and have a lot of the same beliefs. He lives in the UAE, and to go visit him I didn't need a visa. So about a year into our relationship, I made plans to go visit him. My family found out about our relationship and plans..and put me on lock down. I had to cancel my airline ticket and I was forced to break up with him They then started talking about arranging my marriage, and made plans to take me to India. I couldn't bear this,because by this point..I found my self being in love already. We were forced to break up, but eventually couldn't manage without each other..and started talking again. My family threatened him to leave me alone..and we both went through so much. Then last year (2 1/2 years into our relationship) right before my family could take me to India to get married..I ran off to the UAE to meet him. This was a very scary time for me. But it was a do or die situation, if I wanted to be with him I had to take this step. I went there and spent a week with him, he turned out to be even more then what I expected. We both wanted to secure our futures with each other so we eloped during my time there and got married.He wanted me to stay with him..but I did not want to because I needed to tell my family, regardless of their opinions...I would have to try to get their blessings. I came back after that week, and went straight home...and told my family everything and they kicked me out of the house. I convinced my husband to come live with me in the US because I think my family will be a little more to accepting him if he is here and able to meet him. So I have petitioned for him. Our case is almost complete at the NVC..and now we are awaiting his interview. But I am worried..because we have only spent a week together. I will re-visit him before the interview, but because we got married after only being together physically for a week..I'm afraid of what can happen

we really love each other, and I want my husband here with me

Any advice for me? What are the odds of his visa getting approved?

Thank you![/quote

Hi! Your case will be fine, we just completed our visa interview at the UAE embassy... if you look at the reviews you will see its a fairly "easy" embassy.... you dont see many put into AP at all, almost never. Let that be the last thing your stressing over... make sure your super organized and have all your ducks in a row, you will be great! Message me if you need anything ;-) good luck!!

Hi, i know this is a crazy question - but, my fiance is German and he met a US lawyer (my fiance is working on a cruise ship) and the lawyer told him that there was NO WAY he would ever be approved for a K1 visa because he is German. He is completely freaked out, and so am I!! Can anyone give us info to the contrary?? He is completely bummed and wants to stop the process and for me to move to Germany. Any one else's experiences much appreciated!! Thanks, Amanda

Let me just say that Jacka$$ has no clue what he was talking about

My fiance is PAKISTANI, living in the Middle East, we had NO problems..at all. not one.

If we ( and thousands of others) can do it ALONE, with no lawyer - so can you! what are ya waiting for?!

A couple of things...

Have you considered meeting in Mexico? You wouldn't have to fly to get there. I see you're in Arizona. Despite your medical problems, you need to consider every option to meet your fiance before filing. This is because A) you may very well be denied the meeting rule waiver and B) considering where your fiance is from and all the red flags you have you owe it to yourself to get a better idea if this man is who he says he is. Until you meet OFFLINE you cannot be sure.

I am not going to sugar coat this but you say he's a 39 year old Jordanian who has never been married? I find that very hard to believe. If it is true there can't be a good reason as to why. His culture revolves around family and children. A man going through nearly half his life unmarried is very strange and socially unacceptable. Did he offer any explanations about his relationship history?

You need to be prepared to fight a very uphill battle. A case like yours will be looked upon with great scrutiny, especially at the Embassy interview stage. You may see your relationship is love between two lonely people but they may see it as he wants a green card and she wants a nurse. I mean you no disrespect but fraud can happen to anyone, especially those who are vulnerable. It's the State Department's job to seek out people with bad intentions and bar them entry to the US. The best thing you can do to help your situation is meet, more than once if possible, collect a lot of quality evidence that you two have a real relationship. I wish you well.

very, very well put, Sarah!

N/A for K-1 Visa...

you are already here on a visa correct? will that visa still be good when you marry? if so, your lucky. no need for a new visa - Marry on your current visa, and just adjust your status.

Ours says issued. He will pick up in the morning

You want the one that begins with your city code that matches the embassy you're applying for the visa through (XXX2013000000).

thank youuu!!!

https://ceac.state.gov/CEAC/

thanks!! is the case number our number given by USCIS?

Hello, what's the correct website to check the status of our approved k-1 visa? Thanks so much!

Hmmm this is completely different then what I have from Abu Dhabi.

But, it's still pretty clear.... Just give them everything they are asking for
