SailAway

Hi! Got my approval but it’s taken a while as I had moved countries and had to get the US embassy in Australia to request and then get the file from my previous country. 
now that headache is over…
on the portal.usatraveldocs website to register for my interview I need to enter a priority date but my I-797 is blank in that section. 
What date should I put? 
 

(edit: got my approval in April)

I got my approval and notice in the mail!
Is there another group we join after this one? I'm hoping the NVC will send the information to our American address (always been the same) as we have moved from the previous address in Japan (beneficiary's old address, new address is in another county).....

I wondered what happened to this case? 
I feel like I’ve been reading days of our lives and really want to know the ending.

Some other answers I found on vj for your reference:

 

As the sponsor, you'll be the one to receive the NOA, so no issue there. 

A case number will be generated once the case reaches NVC, so you can call them to change address. Or just wait until the K1 beneficiary fills the DS-160 to update the address. 

 

Guess it's not the USCIS you need to notify but NVC first, because they will be the one to mail documents to beneficiary. When it comes to schedule appt, you can put in new address in the DS-160 form.

Thank you so much for this! 

Hi all quick question,

if the K1 beneficiary has moved address (actually to a different country), where do we notify the USCIS?

Hi all lovely visa journey members! I have loved reading your widens stories while I am waiting for my K1 visa to be with my fiancé from the US. 
We are thinking about starting a family but unsure if we should begin that now in my home country or when we arrive in the US.

my concern is, he has been working outside the US and will be working outside the US until we get the K1 visa. 
If we get pregnant here we have free medical and full support. Babies are expensive but the entire process up to and including the birth would be free. 
As my age is a factor and also the K1 visa process seems to be taking FOREVER we would be wanting to start trying as soon as we arrive in the US but are worried about being covered medically. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with starting a family in the US and how long we would need to wait before cover would kick in?

Thank you all in advance ❤️

Japan feb 2022 K1 filer here. Have been thinking about flying to meet my fiancé and get married then apply for CR1.

The main priority is being together. Money or the K1 being a pain is not an issue. 
Does anyone know a timeline for CR1 vs K1 (specifically for Japan)?

On a side note, what was the medical like? I don’t have all of my immunization records, pretty sure I am also due another tetanus shot….

Are you sure those are I-129F?

 

Well, now that I it has been over a year since my petition was received, the next milestone is 13 months. By then, they will most definetely have increased the processing times to prevent more inquiries.

 

On a less sour note, let's see how this week goes. Based on previous week performance, any day above 30 is an extremely positive day.

Yes definitely I-129f

BUT I did just find out from another member that they could have been expedited cases as first the case goes from “request to expedite approved” to “case approved”

Keeping fingers crossed that case approval speeds up

Thank you so much for posting this!

I found it so interesting.... I got my NOA1 on Feb7th 2022, I noticed that besides the 'expedited approved' which are when Ukrainian K1s are approved, there are 5 already in my 'batch' approved... How??? How are some K1's approved so fast?

That's terrible!  It does sound like your visa isn't rejected as much as it is 'On Hold'. I have read one post about someone going for an interview but submitting their medical information after the interview took place and they were fine in the end. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
On a side note, how did you chose which hospital to get the medical done at?
