How long does it normally take after a K1 visa approval after interview for the status to be updated online?

Please check the schedule of the counseling session before proceeding to CFO because it is country-specific and the slots are limited only to 15 slots (Manila)

I need to know if it is WALK IN.....Yes/No?

Hi,

we are scheduled for an Interview soon, but we are not sure about two things.

1. Can we just WALK IN to the CFO building to take the seminar?

2. What are the visa issue time after you have an approved interview. What is your personal experience. I am aware of the generic guidelines.

Stressing out because we already booked the flight....(yes yes, I know.........)

Thank you all

I guess we will find out how accurate those are, my NOA1 date is April 6.

I like to know where you get those dates? They are different on the USCIS website.

Thank you very much.

Who filed in April and got their NOA2 yet? I am just curious as we are anxiously awaiting....

Thank you.

That's all good. Which county are you in? I've got a question about marriage certificate since you are from ATL. 

I am in Atlanta now, fire away.

I was tempted to get my fiancé to use RapidVisa but I ended up doing it myself because I'm very OCD 

 

How's your experience with them so far?

I filled out the online questionnaire but have not submitted yet as I am waiting on my divorce papers. I will update this soon I hope.

It's so good to see another ATL couple here!

 

Make sure you double check everything before shipping it to the Dallas Lockbox or Lewisville mailroom facility. Sign what needs to be signed. Include the revised fee of $535. If you want to receive e-notification, don't forget to attach the G-1145.

 

Update your VJ timeline and you can check your case status on myUSCIS (you can sign up for an account) after getting the receipt number in your NOA1. 

 

Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys 

That's really good info. I will just let RapidVisa do all the work, I am not good with paperwork.

My wife and I met on a dating site.  You do not need to send any information about the dating site.   In your description of how you met on the I-129 form just state you met on a dating site and state which one.  That's all we did for our application and we did not get an RFE for it.  What seems to trip more people up here is the proof that you met in person.  For a K1 the required proof is that you met at least once in person in the last 2 years.  

 

You can look at the timeline information here to judge how long it will take to get your K1 based on the date you mail in your I129F.    http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/monthly_filers.php?cfl=   This page is good for knowing about when you'll get your NOA2.  From there expect another 3-4 weeks to be able to schedule your interview at the Embassy and another 3-4 weeks after that to actually have your interview and then you can travel to the US.

Very cool, thank you. That will help me schedule my trip to pick her up.

I'm the alien fiancée I certainly hope I can go be with my fiancé and get married by December. Long distance is not fun. 

 

Better get your paperwork ready and send it in soon if you want your fiance(e) there by Christmas! 

Very cool, I am from ATL also. Yes, we will get started with that process soon. Good luck to all of you.

Yes, long distance is not easy, but I am lucky and she is very patient and makes the wait time pass quickly.

All you need to do is get the website to confirm that they aren't an IMB. Additionally, print out the website's TOS to go with the confirmation email from the website.

Thank you for the quick reply and good luck to your petition, I see that the USCIS messed up already, that's not very conforting, hope that will not delay it too much.

DO you think she will be here before xmas?

Hello everybody,

I was reading somewhere that I need to provide some proof on which dating site I met my fiancee. Which details are they looking for? After I met her way over a year ago, I deleted that site and there is not anything left of my userID.

Also, any of you have any recent processing times for the whole K1 procedure from the USA? We were wondering if we could spend Christmas together here in the USA.

Thank you for all your information.

Thank you very much for those answers. And thank you for the tip with the images vs receipts, that is interesting. We have many hundreds of pictures together, but I am not sure if I kept the actual receipts.

Are hotel vouchers and credit card statements good enough? Of course I have the plane ticket receipt. 

That was really good information, thank you again.

Hello everybody,

I have been in a very unhappy marriage and finally got divorced. Found a wonderful woman while legally separated.

Have two questions please.

1.) After the mediation, the papers have been filed in court by my laywer. Do I need to wait on the official paperwork or can I use the mediation date as the official divorce date? The one I will use in the K1 fiancee paperwork.

2.) I met my fiancee during legal separation, before I was officially divorce. Can I use that trip for proof of relationship?

I appreciate any help, as we would like to file this ASAP.
