My fiancé is currently in Peru awaiting his medical appointment (on Wednesday) and then his K1 visa interview (on December 22nd). I just found out a few days ago that I am pregnant (with his child, of course!). Now the panic is setting in...

We met and are both currently employed on a cruise ship. Both of our vacations are scheduled through March 22nd. We plan to get married immediately upon his arrival to the US and then file for adjustment of status and EAD as soon as possible. He needs to get back to work asap so we can afford to have this baby. Would this be reasonable grounds to ask for the EAD to be expedited? I will work as long as possible but I will only be allowed to stay on the ship for so long with my condition. This is really bad timing, but I guess you don't always get to choose when these things happen.

I the USC and I originally thought I could join my fiancé for his k1 visa interview but I am unable to get off work to make it to lima. I am so nervous... Will this be ok or is Peru one of the embassies that almost requires the USC fiancé to be present? Please, any advice would be helpful!

He doesn't have to quit. He is taking an early vacation

Yesterday we were told my Fiance's interview date which is only two weeks away! That wouldn't be a problem except he works on a cruise ship and isn't scheduled to be back to Peru until January. We tried to reschedule the interview for a specific day in December and they said they will give him an interview in December but they can't promise a date. He will be leaving the ship early (next weekend) to prepare.

Has anyone else had to reschedule their interview? How long did it take to get the new date?

Wow serious surprise today. I checked the uscis website while I was at the gym and it says our petition was APPROVED!!! I know this is just one step in the process to our marriage, but I couldn't be happier today. I sent in the i129-f on August 3rd and received our NOA1 on September 5th. Now I just need to figure out what to do next...

I sent mine at the end of August and I received my NOA1 on September 5th. My fiancé is from Peru. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a fast process!

Does anyone know if the US citizen fiancé can be at the interview for a k1 visa in peru? My fiancé would like me to accompany him if at all possible and I would like that as well.

I also just looked at my email (versus the text message I was sent) and we were transferred to the California service center. This seems to be a good thing... Shorter processing times?

I filed a week and a half ago and got my NOA1 today!

Thanks everyone I appreciate the kind words

I sent in my I-129f packet today and I am ecstatic as well as incredibly nervous. But mostly I am just so happy to have finally started this process! I just wanted to share because this site has been so helpful thus far!

My fiancé is from peru and I am sending in the i-129f packet tomorrow! So excited and nervous.

My fiancé has a young child from before we met. He will not be brining her with him to the US as the mother would like the child to stay with her.

Is it necessary for me to list the child on the I-129f? And will this be a red flag since she is not my child?

Thank you to everyone for the advice! I think we will be sending our packet out this Saturday!

Good morning- for those of you in the process of filing and those who have completed, how many used a lawyer? I have almost complied my i-129f packet and I'm wondering if I should get a lawyer to check it over. Any ideas?

I'm new posting on this board but have been looking at it for advice and answers for a little while now. I am engaged to a Peruvian man who I met at work and have been with for over a year. We both work on a cruise ship in Hawaii and he is currently in the US on a C1-D (crewman) visa.

Yesterday I started getting together the I-129f packet for a K1 visa and I'm both stressed and excited about it. How long did it take most of you to gather all of the information and fill out all of the forms before sending in the initial packet?

Thanks!

Hello - My fiance is from Peru and we have just started arranging the i-129F packet for a K1 (fiance) visa.

Albert, my fiance, would like to come visit my family in Chicago while this process is happening. Does anyone know if it is possible to be applying for a tourist visa at the same time we are applying for a K1 visa? We don't want to do anything to jeopardize the K1 visa, as this is more important in the long term than the tourist visa.

Thanks in advance for any help.
