Hi, I’ve seen a few people in your situation with Latvian companies, so here’s the simple version: Owning a business in Latvia doesn’t hurt your K-1 at all. What matters is your relationship and your fiancé(e)’s ability to sponsor you. The main thing to watch is after you arrive: on a K-1, you can’t work right away. So if you keep your company, avoid being involved in daily operations until you get your work permit (EAD). Just being an owner/shareholder is usually fine. For the company itself, you don’t have to close it. Many people keep their Latvian SIA running and manage it remotely or through someone locally. The tricky part is taxes: once you’re considered a U.S. tax resident, you may have to report your Latvian company and income to the U.S. That can get technical pretty fast, so it’s worth getting advice.

Hi everyone, I’m currently starting my K-1 visa process and wanted to get recent timelines (2025–2026) from others here. How long did it take from I-129F filing to NOA2? How long after NOA2 did your case reach the embassy/interview stage? Any recent experiences would really help
