My fiance and I have just completed the K1 Visa Process in Italy. This entire process was long and stressful, and I want to thank everyone on Visa Journey for providing information and support! I have documented the K1 Process to help anyone applying for the K1. Some of this document is specific to Italy or our relationship. We had a lawyer in the beginning, and many do not hire one. However a lot of this information may be useful to K1 applicants, so I'm sharing our experience. We did not receive an RFE, and my fiance received his visa 2 days after his interview. See the pdf below. Best of luck!

What's the best way to do that? The I-485 asks for our current address and our address history. How would we inform them of a different mailing address when we send the packet? 

Thanks so much for your help!

I've searched throughout the site and can't seem to find a solid answer.

My fiance will be moving to the US next month with his K-1 Visa (FINALLY) and we'll be married asap.

I live in Michigan with my parents, but I'll be moving to Ohio for graduate school in August. Our apartment there will be temporary. 9 months in Ohio, summer in Michigan, 9 months in Ohio (maybe in another apartment). I want to use my parents' address in MI as our address on the AOS, because it's reliable. Is that a problem if we're not technically living there?

If we DO have to use our Ohio address, that means we'll have to wait till August to move, and then 3 months more  for the EAD. Anyone with experience that can help?

I want to be clear in that I understand it's a waiting game. We'll continue to be patient, I just want to check with anyone else who may be in the same scenario. 3 weeks seems strange as many people have received case numbers in that time. But again, we'll wait and see what happens.

Are any of you that are going on 3 weeks since NOA2 calling USCIS to see if they've sent it yet? I'm noticing they're falling behind again. I haven't even bothered calling because I literally just got my approval April 12th (paper) and April 13th (online). I know there's no chance my case number has been assigned yet but why in the world is it taking so long again? Not trying to sound like a smart ###. The NVC stage is completely new to me.

I haven't called USCIS because NVC keeps telling me to wait and wait, and I never called USCIS between NOA1 and NOA2. They're notoriously difficult to talk to.

Wrongnumber:

Call:

603-3340700

first push 1 and then 7... 

I've called that one as well...

We're a March 29th NOA2, and NVC STILL hasn't received it. I'm getting more and more concerned. There's nothing I can do because it's "only" been 3 weeks. I want to make sure I'm calling the right number. 603-334-0888 but I press 1 for English and then 3 to check if they've received my mail. Everyone says press 5 but that doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone elaborate?

I'm trying to reach out to anyone who has information on how to get vaccinations done in Milan, Italy. My fiance lives in this region and we've received his NOA2, we're waiting to receive a case number from the NVC. He's been trying so hard to get an appointment for his vaccinations, so that he doesn't have to pay for them at the medical exam in Naples. Friends from Italy and in the forums have told us to go to the local ASL (this does not exist anymore in Milan). We've also been told to go to the ULSS, but this is a regional office and also is not found in Milan. He has called the ATS and ASST and the soonest they can see him is June 8th, which is 2 months from now. They haven't been any help to us, and he's called 3 times.

Has anyone from Italy or Milan specifically done this another way? Any information is helpful! 

If he has to get them done at the medical, will they give him multiple shots in one day? We realize they're not required until the Adjustment of Status, but it will be cheaper for him to do them in Italy. We'd like to avoid getting them at the medical, and have that go smoothly. 

Thank you!
