Well in all honesty, we opted for fiance visa because it is a quicker route to be together.  Per our research, it takes 277 days to get finace visa and 415 days to get greencard (cr1).

We wanted to be together after marriage (immediately) and therefore, thought K1 is the best route.  If we would have applied for greencard (then that would have meant 415 days apart)

Nonetheless, I read in one "experience" post that the immigration officer ridiculed the fiance when she gave this answer and said that the information is inaccurate.

Hence, I wanted to know what other people have responded to the above mentioned question.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone can assist me with this question.  I read a sample question asking beneficiary "Why would you like to get married in USA rather than your own home country, given that most of your family is in India".

What are possible answers ?

1) because fiance visa  (7-9 months) is faster than CR1 (immediate relative greencard process - 12-15 months)

2) Get court marriage in USA and then give a reception in India

Please advice what would be a good and rational/logical answer to the above question.

Thanks in advance

That's just the way it goes. The whole process has to move forward with the cases that are easy or ready to be approved. There is no rhyme or reason for why the dates move forward, but they wouldn't be on October if we waited for every case on every date to be approved prior to moving on to the next as there are still filers from June, July, August & September waiting too.

so USCIS officers just randomly pick a case from list of cases or what?  Why should June/July/ August cases be in the pending process (ie. not receive RFE), while they process October cases.

I mean I thought our case was simple and easy.  No red alerts.  Never been married.  No criminal history. Met couple of times before filing application.

I am just trying to learn this process.

I am happy to see so many october filers :).

We are still waiting for ours.  Oct 6th receipt date.

How come Oct 16, 17 and 19th getting approved while Oct 2nd are still waiting.

Any input please.
