Hello everyone, i'm from Mauritius and my k1 interview will be held at the US consulate in Johannesburg South Africa. I was wondering when you are approved after the interview, how many days does it take to get your passport back? And if it takes more than a week is it possible to get back to my country after the interview and mail my passport to the US consulate in Johannesburg for the k1 visa stamp? Has anyone been in the same situation as me? Please help.

True, it will be expensive planning another trip right now, and applying for a tourist visa in mauritius is a lost cause unless you are rich. we are hoping we can prove our relationship is bona fide. And we learnt its not about the amount of time you spent with each other in person that counts its about whether or not you can prove your relationship is true and we believe we have enough evidences for that including over 300,000 messages, call logs,letters we sent to each other, gifts receipts, facebook relationship status from over a year, we are engaged too, we have the engagement ring receipt, skype pictures of us talking to each others parents and siblings and lastly pictures from our trip to london with tickets to various attractions and hotel reservations proving we stayed together. If this won't convince them i don't know what will. ?

Thank you all for replying. I understand what you mean but i will need atleast $2800 for a round trip and for me to get approved for a tourist visa i will need to have a big bank balance. ? We contacted several immigration lawyers though and they said 3days is fine, didn't see any red flags in our case and we are working on gathering evidences now and plan to file for the i-129f petition in december.

We met in london as its closer to the US and i didnt need a any visa beforehand to go there.

I am the beneficiary, my boyfriend is from the US and i'm from Mauritius. We haven't filed for the fiance visa petition yet, still gathering information. The meeting was so short because he couldnt get more days off work (he actually used his sick leave) he wont get a vacation leave from work until 2018. And we met in london as it was easier for him and that way we got to spend more time together (he would have had to take 2 flights to come to my country of 18hours, that would have been more than a day of travelling including the layover). And there's no way i could go meet him to the US as i would need a tourist visa for that and i obviously wouldnt be able to say im going to meet my boyfriend that would get me rejected instantly, it would be suspicious for me to go alone. I dont even have family members in the US. Also the interview for the k1 is being held in South Africa now for mauritians, no longer in Nairobi.

I just met my boyfriend in london 2weeks ago for the first time after being in a relationship for 1 year, so we celebrated our 1st anniversary there, the thing is we were there for only 3 days cause he couldnt get more days off work and we are thinking about filing for the k1 visa now, is 3days together enough for the having met in person requirement?
