I am about to send my K1 docs in...

 

So where do we stand with this new ban??
- Is it blocked or not ?

- Is a K-1 Visa still accepted (if you are applying for a fiance that is in one of the banned countries).

 

Thanks everyone ahead  of time...

Hi

No it is not blocked because fiance is now a Bona Fide Relationship 

so yes, you can get visa using K-1

Is a fiance visa  for a US Citizen / Iranian  Citizen affected by Trumps bas and restrictions? ( I am about to file one)

If your fiance is frkm any of those countries ,Yes it will affect but as they made the process way longer for iranian (it can take more than 2 years including AP) who knows what will happen till then ? Just do what you have to and file yours

@Leila120 No Nothing 

@Cheshami , @Leila120

I am from Iran , My Fiance Visa interview has been in 14th Nov 2016 , almost 9 months 

so it seems like it is normal to wait this long these days 
 

NEW UPDATE:

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/news/important-announcement.html

What is a close familial relationship for the purposes of determining if someone is subject to the E.O. per the Supreme Court decision? 

A close familial relationship is defined as a parent (including parent-in-law), spouse, fiancé, child, adult son or daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, sibling, whether whole or half, and including step relationships.  “Close family” does not include grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and any other “extended” family members.

Both my Fiance and I are too stressed over this, the whole process has been like 2 years now , we planned the wedding ,honeymood ... and we are not sure about anything, still no idea whats going to happen and how longer we have to wait

Everyday we checking the news for a good one but nothing yet ... 

I Have had my consulate interview 7 months ago i am in AP now 

Wait for what in my K1 ?

The administrative processing (process pending) normally take 2 - 4 months and it can take longer , i am not worry about the time of that process just wondering if that process ends, will they still let me in or we should wait another 90 days for now

It is like 2 years i am waiting for my new life with my fiance 😑

Hello 

Its more than 7 months i am in adninistrative processing after my embassy interview

Now Travel ban injunction lifted, in the news they added

"The Supreme Court is allowing to go into effect the executive order's temporary ban on entry into the U.S. of citizens of six Muslim-majority nations, but with an exception for people with bona fide connections to the United States. That includes foreign nationals with familial connections in the U.S., students who have been already admitted into an American university, or workers with existing job offers in the U.S."

Or

"The court, in effect, said that foreigners with ties or relationships in the United States would not be prohibited from entering the country. But, those applying for visas who had never been here, or had no family, business or other ties could be prohibited"

Or

"The executive order also made waivers available for a foreign national seeking to enter the United States to resume work or study, visit a spouse, child or parent who is a U.S. citizen, or for "significant business or professional obligations."

Will the fiance known as spouse ?

Just call the embassy and have them extend the NOA2.

Can the Embassy of America in Ankara extend my NOA2 Form ?

Do they have access and permission to change that ?

Hello everyone,

My NOA2 is valid from 07/01/216 - 10/31/2016

USCIS sent my document to NVC after 5 weeks, they worked on my documents for 2 weeks and after 7 weeks we received an email that we can schedule for interview.

I was preparing my missing documents like Affidavit of Support to come from USA to my country taking 1 - 2 weeks

Now i am scheduling for interview and the Embassy in Ankara showing First available appointments in 8 of November.

What should I do now ?
Emailing or calling the Embassy to give me another time earlier ? will they do it ?
Emailing or calling USCIS to renew my NOA2 ? and i schedule it for 8 of Nov ?
but this will make the embassy have another version of NOA2 than the one i will get (if this is even possible)

what should i do ?

what do you suggest

I live in Iran and there is no trusted Medical center in my country and my interview will be in Ankara (turkey), read and asked around i have to fill and submit my online DS-160 form first then i can schedule my interview.
Saying that i can't go to any medical center for now till i schedule my interview and few days before that i can do my vaccination ...
What is the best answer ?
1. Yes ( I will have my vaccination few days before my interview and i will have the paper)
but wrong statement at the moment and the date of submitting saying i have documents but the vaccination will be weeks after submitting it
2. No and i explain the reason of not having it yet ?
I read in a forum that it is better to be a Yes rather than a NO

What are the differences of these 2 ?

Which one should i go through !

Hello Dear friends,
First of all i wanted to thank you all for guiding me in all steps till now.

Today i called NVC and Finally they got our K-1 Approved case, and the representative gave me the Case Number.
she said we don't need to do anything further but when checking my visa status i am having this message.

What exactly should i do ?
what could these six steps be that we have to take ?

Immigrant Visa Case Number:

Right now your case is at NVC - when they finally send it to your embassy it will say IN TRANSIT. When the embassy receives it , it will say READY. Depending on your embassy and how they do things- you will then be able to either schedule your medical and interview online or you wait and they email you packet 3 with an interview date (it varies from embassy to embassy how long they take to send you that email)

Btw- when did they say they exactly received your case? I'm still waiting 55 days for them to receive it and wasn't sure if I should call yet as it might be too early in the day? Did they say it came in today or an earlier date?

Good luck!

Since it is a k1 ignore the 6 steps they are talking about. That's usually for CR1 marriage visas if I'm correct. Just wait till it gets to the embassy and then start all your processing steps from there

from the time my case approved till the NVC receive our case took like 32 days , Max is 6 weeks

make sure to call NVC today

Immigrant Visa Case Number:

Hello dear friends ,
Finally our case have been approved and we are preparing documents for the interview.
there are few questions i want to ask if anyone could guide me

1.My US fiance income isn't enough (125% poverty), can my uncle who live in US for 30 years be her joint sponsor ? or it must be just her parent or friends ? cause my uncle can be known as her friend !

2. what Forms do they need to fill ? both need to fill just i-134 just in separate ?

3.what is different between form i-134 and i-864 ?

4. why to fill form i-864 ?

The US fiance is ALWAYS the primary sponsor, but may have a co-sponsor. If there is a co-sponsor, both the
US fiance and the co-sponsor will EACH have to fill out the affidavit I-134 or I-864 and EACH will have to provide
supporting documentation.

Then which one ?

Hello Dear friends,

After 85 days of waiting for a change for my case Status it finally changed from "Case Was Received" To "Name Was Updated"

What does it means ?

Any one faced this before ? we didn't change any name or ... so what could this be ?

we have sent so many Evidences so i doubt if they ask us for more Evidence ,I guess i have to wait for my NOA2 more, according to your words dear friend

Hello Dear friends,

My Case has been received on March 9, 2016 but still not Approved or Rejected after 8 weeks ,

Just wonder how long it normally take ? how long it took for yours if you done this ?

Anything i could do ?

I am from IRAN and we might have a FBI Check, could it be a reason ?
Thanks for your time.

Respect
