It's been 1yr plus since I filed for a K1 visa and 2 months plus since my fiance had his interview, he finally has his visa in hand!! Thanks to the Most High for giving me patience and all that was needed to get through this process. We have more to go but we're over the first hurdle. Flight is booked for this Friday and we will be reunited after after 6 months of being apart.

U.S. Department of State NONIMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION Administrative Processing Application ID or Case Number: KNG2013XXXXXX Case Creation Date: 12-Feb-2014 Status Updated Date: 24-Feb-2014
Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days.
For more information, please visit U.S. Embassy Kingston. Up until now the status was "ready" and the embassy for the past two months has been saying that the case is undergoing administrative processing. Last week via e-mail they told me they will try to expedite the case as I told them my fiance and I intended to get married on March 7. I am getting excited! VJers who have been through this process, please let me know if this means my fiance's visa will be issued soon?!?!

The PO box are named after the parish, so it's PO St. James.
Address: Somerton District, PO St. James
City: Montgeo Bay
Country: Jamaica
You just want to make sure the information shows up properly so it's deliverable by Jamaica Standards.
I wrote in this form manually so I could do what I needed to do. The formats of foreign addresses are not the same as US addresses, so you may have to hand write a few forms.

Just pick up my visa , the journey has just began

USCIS is faster with the K1 visas because they make them more money. Plain and simple.
You also will not find CR1 visa interviews on the same website as the K1 interviews because it's possible that K1 can book their own interview whereas CR1 need to wait for the NVC to book the interview based off of when the embassy or consulate opens up dates.
There is nothing in immigration that is fair. But it's a privilege not a right.
As soon as you take your entitlement out of the question, stop saying you deserve this, that, or the other thing, and start saying instead that you're grateful for the privilege, you'll find yourself in a happier place. This is a year or two in a lifetime with a spouse. Is this other person not worth this time and effort? Yes we all want to be togther, otherwise we wouldn't be going through this process. But this 2 years for immigration isn't your lifetime, it's just a process you have to go through. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck but it does mean you should always remember it and be grateful when you're finally together all the time.
Just my 2 cents anyhow.

USCIS official Cute!!! I've been a full year in this process. Once we get our visas we have to file for green card and wait some more while you all get your greencard at the same time. Fairness has nothing to do with it. I researched the best way to do this process and found it's best to get married in the states. The choice is open for all. Good day

Nvc schedules CR1 interviews. JA embassy schedules K-1 interviews.

Here is the reason.CR1 got their visa include green card which for K1 we need to do green card process back in state.

That's not the case at all...They work in batches. When I was waiting for my interview, it was very few K1's being interviewed. It depends on when you apply, get approved and the details of your petition. Some cases are more difficult than others and take more time. I've been in this process for almost a year. It just takes patience you...you will soon have your interview and be with your loved ones. Also, keep emailing the embassy. I emailed them and gave them a timeframe of when I wanted my interview and they scheduled me for 2 weeks after my interview.

I hate when they respond so generically....praying you are issued visa soon

Hi Nikshevphilscott, can I ask how long you have been waiting, my fiancé is about to be headed down this road and we just wanted an idea...Thanks

Thank you Jesus...

Your visa is in final processing. If you have not received it in more than 10 working days, please see the webpage for contact information of the embassy or consulate where you submitted your application.

Geez... That's a mess. Haven't heard of waiting a month.

Thanks for all the great feedback. Yes somewhere along the way I lost my confidence and I have to get it back. Hes given me no reason to think he will leave i just worry that if I push back too much on his demands that our relationship will suffer. Hes definitely not budging on the cat unfortunately. We've been through so much together in the three years we've been together that I think we can work through our differences during this rocky period I hope.

The OP is mostly at fault here. She has 3 kids, works hard at a job, so she should have her ####### together more than she does right now. With all that life experience, she has been incredibly naive in thinking that no matter how many times you tell someone what life is like coming from a third world country, they can't truly grasp everything until they get here. Why would she only spend 8 days on a "vacation" with him before deciding to get married?
I feel bad for him...it might be a scam, it might not be a scam. Either way, the USC is at fault for not having enough street smarts, especially when she has 3 kids that she needs to look out for.
Unless she gets married, there is absolutely no recourse for the fiance because he has to be married to apply to VAWA and even if he marries another US citizen, he won't be able to adjust while staying here because he entered on a K1. Sadly...he has no path for legal immigration while staying here. Anyone suggesting she should get married to get him a legal stay is advocating against VJ's TOS.

Wow!! I wish it was that easy for everyone to get a visa by just doing some research online and one trip. Just amazing

You have to remember what people in other countries know of the US is very different from what we know. My spouse had heard credit was free in the US and you didn't have to pay interest. He was very upset I wouldn't get a loan for him to buy a nicer car (he bought one with his money but wanted a better one). He didn't understand the concept that I couldn't get a loan.
He thought Americans had lots of free time and went out partying every night. We all make $5,000-$6,000 per month and have big houses and nice cars.
The culture shock is very big, even bigger if they come from a country without these things. Give him time to adjust.

I suppose you have the right to change your mind but in all fairness you explaining daily life and responsibilities to him made no difference because he has no reference point. He was never married, does not have kids, has never moved away from home. Ofcourse he is going to be clingy he is homesick, have some consideration. How would you feel if you had to leave your whole life children included and start anew in a foreign country. Okay he may not have children but he had an entire family, it is normal to feel the way he does. You did research? Then why entertain the brother about signing paperwork? If you were so thorough you would know you are not responsible. Obviously you did not prepare yourself realistictly to what he would experience. Now that he is in your face, then he becomes and inconvenience? I feel bad for him but as many have stated he has 90 days to marry or go back to Morocco. I would also take the opportunity to visit family, heck after this outcome I would need the moral support as well. What he does after he leaves your home I suppose is between him and USCIS, I recommend he goes home before the 90 days. All you have to do is report that the marriage did not happen and I am sure they will ask for his location so have the address handy.
Shaking my head poor guy....

Furthermore, when you bring someone to the States on a K1, you're telling USCIS that you are willing, ready and able to marry this person. That you are sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is the person you have every intention of marrying. So who is the fraud when you back out two weeks after his arrival??? K1's are not supposed to be used to bring someone to the States, to get to know them better and then decide if they are marrying material. I'm sure spending 90 days abroad getting to know someone is more expensive than staying in your own country (as she said, she had to pay for everything) but a K1 is not supposed to be a ticket awarded for a discounted means of being together trying to know if you're compatible or not. This is all nonsense and crazy how so many people are failing to see the real victim here.

Why why WHY do you continue to think every single new immigrant is part of some scam? Seriously you need to stop! It was her decision to stop the marriage, not him. He gave up everything he knows to come here, and the OP never said a word about any type of abuse on either side. To the OP: you met him once for 8 days, even you said it was like a vacation. Did you think real life was going to be a vacation? The poor guy gave up everything he knows and loves to come here, I'm sure a lot of it is culture shock, being in different surroundings. You have no financial responsibility for him, and he has no legal basis to stay. You say you aren't stupid, but tell me what's smart about bringing someone you met for 8 days to live with you and your small daughters? There needs to be better guidelines for issuing k1 visas, there should be a minimum amount of face to face time required before K1 visas are issued. Casablanca consulate has no rhyme or reason, they deny married couples who have been together years, yet they seem to give out k1 visas like tic tacs.

Agree. Relationships require work and time. You hardly given it any time to make things work. The guy just left his entire life for you. Give him some credit.
To all the people who just want to ship him back: Even if he decides to go back home he is still allowed to go visit his brother and then leave. I would assume flights to and from Morocco are expensive so why not visit a brother while he is already here and then go home. Call me naïve, but that's how I see it.

Here's an idea. You have only given it a few weeks. Why not wait a bit longer see if things mesh. He has just given up his life and moved to a new country. The person you are seeing is not the person he is. He has a lot to adapt to right now. If he wants let him visit his brother for a few weeks then come back to you and see how things go. You are not married, you have 90 days to do so. Take your time and let the man get used to the change.

I'm surprised people are only talking in favor of the woman, forgetting the man involved too. Did the woman say the man has done something bad to her that she dislikes?
All because she filed for him, so she could just get up one morning and say i don't wanna be with you again so leave? She has the absolute right to do that, but VJers should analyze this issue well. At least you guys have to know what the guy has done because bringing out such harsh conclusions......

I feel so sorry for you that you had this experience and at the same time I am a little mad that couples like ya'll are getting approved so fast! I don't want to make it harder for you I can REALLY understand if You don't want to marry him and you think it doesn't work for both of you....
It is JUST sad that my fiancé and me are almost waiting for 6 months for just a NOA2 and we want nothing else as to finally get married with each other and spend our time together...... Although ya'll both wanted that from the beginning too, but aaahhhh idk! Makes me a little think...
Wish you only the best and hope you find your true love!
