We filled about 5-6 months ago and in july and in october we received a letter asking for more info. It has been 3 months now since we sent out that information to them and my wife still has not received her work permit. We have not had an interview only went to have biometrics take in september. We are starting to feel a little lost. how would we go about contacting some one about this?

fyi...we filed for my husband in october and just received his work auth card today....dont know if that helps any......

and i'm a determined and strong willed little #######!

You better be if you're going to marry an Italian! (j/k... i'm Italian!)

Honestly, you have a great attitude and with all these lovely people at your side, i'm sure you'll do just fine!

Do keep us posted!

oh god, trust me...(my mother is italian) And he is 100% sicilian! to the core. so you can only imagine and appreciate my determination and strong will.....i would never last!...haha. but seriously....he's awesome. those italian boys live up to their reputation and are very proud of it! hahahaha!

thank you everyone! i have read the guidelines. i think the k1 is my best option....i know, i know....face to face....we speak on webcam at least 3 times a day. we write emails, instant meassages, we speak to and hear eachother (audio and video on the cam)....everything....kinda wish the gov. would accept that we are living in the computer age...but anyway...thanks for the support, your right...we're all in this together! (it always stinks being the freshman!) lol.. but hopefully some of you nice people will take me under your wing! I wish you all the best!!!!!!!!! you inspire me that it can be done! and i'm a determined and strong willed little #######! by the looks of it that quality is gonna benefit me thru this journey! again, a million thanks!

Hi, welcome to VJ.

Entering the U.S. with the intent to immigrate (marry and stay) is a violation. You will probably want to file for a K1 visa. Processing times varies greatly depending on where you are in the U.S. and the consulate of the beneficiary.

You can begin by looking at the guides... http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...amp;page=guides

Good luck!

Thank you so much! And im glad you told me that its a violation...oooops i have downloaded filled out and read the info for the k1 visa...however i am afraid it will denied because of the fact we have never met face to face........do you know anything that would help with the convincing? or my chances? i understand the reasoning....they dont want people just coming and marrying falsely to get citizenship..but we are so in love and it seems so intimidating to prove it! ahhhhhh....anyway, thank you, you are my first friend!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone! I am so glad to have found this site and i RELY on your advice!!! to keep it short and sweet...My fiancee is an italian citizen. Where do I begin??? If he comes as a visitor to the US and we get married when he is here, do I need to apply for the K1? Or can I do that while he is here? Money does not allow either of us to be flying between Italy and the US. We want to stay and live in the US together after we are married....whats my first step? Im sorry if this question has been asked before (im sure it has) but there are soooooooo many posts to sort through to find the answers....any help or a friend with experience would be awesome and very appreciated!!!!! thank you! ciao!
