I think the problem is I can’t travel as I don’t have the money since I’m saving for the wedding and I am miserable in my job and can’t change it so I’m more just wanting it to hurry up so I can be happy with my fiancé but I totally see what you mean. last year was better because I had the means to travel more and treat myself but not now. So I feel a bit like I’m in Groundhog Day. im actually very much looking forward to not working for a bit, exploring my passions and seeing more of the states with my fiancé when we are finally visa in hand 😊 it’ll be a totally new life with the love of my life so I’m just getting impatient I guess since I hate my situating here rn.

Multiple people on the discord server and on reddit too said that if you try to get a tourist visa or apply to renew your esta with a pending k-1 they will deny it!

My esta runs out in February 2025 too (won’t be able to renew with a k-1 in process I’ve been told) and my fiancé can’t afford the time off in the US to visit me so I really really hope it comes through by then atleast …

thank you so much. i am hugely overthinking and as my fiancé says “too many variables” to even contemplate what’s happening with our case. I guess like everyone else here I just want to live my new life and hope and pray it all aligns to the timeline that works for us 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 really praying I can move in September that would be perfect. Surely if the universe is kind that will happen.

Get informed delivery and make sure the name is on the postbox or it may have gone back as undeliverable (we have had this happen to some documents but not others) USCIS are notorious for messing up post as are USPS. I still can’t believe they don’t do tracked mail.

Hello all, Looking for encouragement rather than a lecture because it’s too late now. My fiancé and I think we might be getting left behind. More than half of August cases have been filed now and we just have a bad feeling. We are wondering if we perhaps sent too much. Could a petition take longer because you sent too much evidence? Every source and YouTube video told us to send everything we could so we wanted to make sure we did enough and now I’m thinking we made a big mistake. But hopefully just overthinking it. We sent everything required and our evidence was the following: 1 side of A4 letters of intent for petitioner and beneficiary A booklet of proof of our three meetings in person including: many photos with captions, boarding passes, confirmation of buying tickets, hotel confirmations, receipts for meals we had, text conversations we had with each other, texts with family, receipts for gifts bought for my family, bank statements to prove transactions in each others countries. A booklet of further proof of intent to marry including: engagement photos, text conversations, Instagram conversations, texts with family and friends making plans for the engagement, congratulations texts, engagement cards A booklet of proof of ongoing long distance relationship: a few text screen shots from each month we were talking (October-August), same with Instagram, posts we have done on Facebook and Instagram of each other to show social media acknowledgement of relationship, gifts we have sent to each other, screenshots of our paired app, text conversations with each others family and friends. we thought it was really comprehensive and would show that we were in an honest relationship and engaged therefore free to marry. Now we worry maybe no one wants to look through our petition because there is too much.. please just tell us we are being dumb and overthinking.

Oh, my date is the 18th. I'll have to go change that. Still not happy. Most cases on my day have been processed now. Deffo been left behind, I knew it would happen even though we did everything right.

I guess there's not many august filers here. Anyone else just losing hope? 50% of cases done now and no approval for me yet... I just knew this would happen. We did everything right and yet this is how God treats us. Just really down.

Ah okay. Well since no one is allowed to earn money or continue employment in any way, shape or form when entering on a K-1 visa anyway (since that's illegal) I'll definitely be quitting. Then I guess I'll put my savings down on the I-134 since I have enough to last a year due to varying timelines for EAD. I did hear somewhere that if the petitioner is sponsoring with assests only it needs to be around 100k. I didn't know they only look for enough money for 90 days if you self-sponsor as the beneficiary (had no idea you could self sponsor), never heard that anywhere but it's promising for those of us who have no co sponsor opportunity if our fiances get laid off!

Ah okay sorry it’s just you said you could self-sponsor through London so I wondered what that meant. I guess I interpreted it wrong.

Really? I have not heard of this before! Can I just get this clarified since we are particularly panicked about the state of the layoffs over there right now so anything could happen! So you are saying proof of my income (currently double the poverty amount but obviously will have to give up job before leaving) and savings (currently 125% of the poverty amount for two people) would suffice as a self sponsor for a k-1 incase my fiancé lost their job suddenly? I’m guessing in this current climate it would be beneficial to state my assets and income on the affidavit of support then?
