I totally understand that. But while I’m meeting those requirements for the next 12 months I could be re-applying for my k1 visa along with that as it seems to take 8+ months.. BUT.. I don’t know if I’m required to re-apply because I have been told I don’t have while also being told every case is different and reading that I may have to. This is my predicament. I’m hoping someone who has been in this exact situation sees this topic.

Yeah I looked through past topics but I still can’t seem to find a concrete answer. I contacted the place where I had my medical exam and both the doctor and the manager suggested to me that my visa is “on hold” until my blood tests and updated medical. They told me this has been the case for previous applications BUT also advised me every case is different. All im trying to find out is where I stand. Do I need to make other arrangements etc

I don’t recall. Where would I find that info? I had my medical exam then a week later attended my embassy interview. They actually told me I had been granted entry before I reminded the interviewer that they hadn’t received my medical yet. They thought they had. Then today I received my passport back from the embassy along with a single sheet of paper which helped me in no way at all to understand the situation

I may of misread that information then. And yea I’m aware it’s not my right to immigrate to the us. They can travel here for up to 6 months without a visa I believe so that’s an option.

It wasn’t DUI, it was drunk and disorderly etc yes we are planning for them to come to the U.K. for 6 months. She would need a visa to come here to marry right?

I read somewhere that I may be eligible to a waiver to assure family unity.. but I may be barking up the wrong tree.. I assume they flagged me as a risk due to alcohol related incidents that led to arrests. Visa on “pause” for a year as you put it is along the lines of what the doctor taking the medical exam told me but I can’t find any information on it other than what I’m told by yourself and the doctor. Any link to this information would be appreciated

Hi all. Looking for some help and information on my current situation. My k1 visa was denied based upon the outcome of my medical examination which was referred to the CDC by the doctor taking the exam. I had some arrests related to alcohol in my teens and although not convicted I have been denied a visa based on this. The CDC recommended that I preform a year of random alcohol blood testing to prove my abstinence. Far from ideal as this is keeping me from joining my fiancé and my 1 year old daughter in the states, but I have no problem doing this as I don’t and never have had an alcohol problem. My doctor suggested to me that once I have supplied my year of random blood tests and then retaken my medical exam, which is then submitted to the us embassy, that I will then be granted my visa… is this the case as I can’t seem to find any solid information on the subject? I can’t find this information in black and white on this and I had no suggestion of this from the embassy upon receiving my passport and paperwork back from the embassy. I’m also non eligible for a waiver according to the paperwork they sent me, but although this is a k1 visa surely I have some say regarding a waiver under family unity rights. Im just unsure where I stand right now. -Do I need to start a brand new application and reapply for my k1 visa once I have proved my year of abstinence? -Is it the case of just waiting for my year of abstinence to be supplied and then I will be granted my visa upon the embassy receiving my new medical? -Should I do anything else along with the blood tests to help my cause? Ie, counselling or speaking with my GP? -Do I have a case of applying for a waiver under family unity, although suggested by the embassy that I can’t apply? I’m just trying to be with my family as soon as I can so any information and help on the matter is greatly appreciated. Liam
