Ashley und Alex

I need to call USCIS to ask them specific questions about my case. However, I don't want to have them to record anything that may hurt my case. I don't know if they log information in whenever they speak to you which affects your status.

My concern is should the USCIS be the 1st or last place to call for information about my specific situation? I want to protect myself because I don't know the answers to my questions.

Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about them recording your call. There is no announcement of it. However, they really are no help whatsoever. I have called to ask questions because my fiance was drafted into the German military and we had to put our case as pending. They had no answers, so my fiance mailed the Embassy a letter, which seemed more effective.

Hello all!

My Fiance' and I are starting the K1 visa process next week....yay!! We are wanting to start making plans for the Christmas Holiday. Do any of you know if he would be allowed to enter the US during the process for 2 weeks? Or do you think it would be better if I went to the UK instead?

Thank you all so much for your help!!

My Visa process took a little over a year. During that year I went to Germany twice, and he came to the states twice, we received no problems during out process and finally have our Visa in hand!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :thumbs:

Wow...you retired from the Air Force! I'm getting ready to leave for basic in a few days...Well, I wouldn't worry about the request for evidence. I received one as well, and all they wanted was a passport style photo of me. It really was no big deal.

My fiance recently received approval of the K1 Visa. I was wondering if we should purchase a oneway ticket, or if a roundtrip ticket is more acceptable.

The Embassy has approved the Visa

Congratulations! Will you fill in your timeline so we'll have an idea how long the process took for you?

Usually I've found that from Germany to here roundtrip tickets are cheaper, so I just suggest you buy the cheapest ticket. Doesn't matter if it's one way or not.

Yes, I will fill in my timeline. Thanks for the congrats! It's nice to hear from people who are going through, and have gone through what I have. Most people just don't understand what this is all about. Especially the stress of it all. I have joined the USAF and am leaving for basic in november and Alex's Visa is only valid until February, so I'm having to deal with applying for vacation to marry and housing which is difficult to get since I'm not offically married. If only more were as understanding as those who have gone through such a process...

No stress, eh?

I got my ticket for Christmas at www.kayak.com It was ~$700. Granted, I have a 9 hour layover in London, but still.

$700! Well, I guess for Holiday traveling that's not that bad. I was searching for one way, and have found several for under $500. A 9 hour layover in London should be nice...if you get out of the Airport and see a little. I always had long layovers in Chicago and just slept at my gate...sometimes I wish I would've gotten out to see a little more.

About you buying your fiancee's ticket. I am currently trying to buy my fiance's ticket, and have discovered that many travel agencies will not let one buy an international flight from the foreign country to the US on a US .com web page. To purchase my ticket I have had to use the german page .de

You should have no problems upon entry, but I would recommend writing and signing a letter stating your situation and giving your contact information, and sending it to your fiancee in case of questioning.
