I believe it was the older one. I don't remember exactly because it's been a couple years ago. The doctor probably wasn't paying that close attention when he filled out the papers because he left the other line blank (the one where he was supposed to write the date of the medical)

I just got a phone call from a very nice lady from the consulate. She said she had never in her life heard a story that someone got send away at the airport. But we all know it's a fact, very rare, but it can happen. She send me an email that explains the K1 process which I'm bringing with me to my point of entry. I hope that the CBP officer will be competent though and knows his job.

Damn... I see youre from the Netherlands too so we probably had the same doctor. That is scary. Did you have the old or young doctor? From what I understood the doctors office is run by a father and his son. I might have the same issue then...

They almost didn't let me in, because the doctor that did my medical wrote the date I went to do the medical where the expiration date is supposed to be. I had to wait for a long time at the POE and finally they let me in. The officer must have read the documents very well to catch that. THe embassy never said anything about it.

Hi,

Yesterday I flew to America and got in on my K1 visa. At the POE, in Houston, they looked through the papers in the sealed envelope, and it turned out something was wrong. The doctor at the medical had put the exam date, 09/27/13 on the line of the expiration date. So now it looks like my medical was already expired couple weeks before I got in. After about 2 hours waiting and having about 4-5 officers talking about my case and looking through the papers, while I was freaking out, they said that it's not a problem because the medical isn't mandatory for a K1 visa because it's a non-immegrant visa. They said I could go and handed me my passport.

Now I wondered if this is correct, that the medical isn't mandatory. I'm afraid they're gonna make me take another medical test here in America when I sent the papers in to get the green card.

Anyone has any thoughts on this?

Hi,

me and my fiancee are Dutch/American as well and I'm the Dutch one. We just got our NOA2 and I had a question. I heard that we have to pay another fee and we'll have to bring the receipt or proof of payment to the interview. my question was when and how do we pay this fee? or will we find that out in a letter from the embassy?

Thanks all for the replies. I'm gonna go get a new passport today so it won't for sure not be right on the edge of expiring in case something takes longer.

thanks

I just got the email saying our visa got approved!

I read somewhere that my passport needs to be valid for at least 8 months after the issue date of the K1 visa.

My passport is valid untill may 2014, my question is if I get a new passport now would this be any problem to the whole process or would it be better to do it now so I have it already.

Thanks!

Im a march filer and got the same email today, hope for the best

I just got an email from USCIS saying that our case status changed to: Initial review. does this mean that they are looking at it and the NOA2 will come soon or could we still be waiting a long time?

Yes that is the NOA1. Save that and when you get the NOA2 in the future you need to save that. If you lose it you will have to pay $400 for a duplicate. You will need it for the AOS when your loved one is in the US after marriage.

Thanks! and I'm actually the one to get the visa, my fiancee is the USC

Yep

We got the NOA1 yesterday I think, we got the email saying the case is accepted, that is the first NOA right?

It can take a few weeks to hear something. Track you bank account to see if they cashed your check.

We used a money order to transfer the money, so I guess I'll have to be patienced

Hi!
