    Oh, what to do!

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Here's the deal: My finace and I want to apply for a K1 visa. He was initially being deployed for July and August so we were going to wait til he got back in September to apply.. But he was just informed today that he will be deploying August, instead of July. This means that he isn't leaving for another 3.5 months.

    So rather then wait almost six months to apply, we are thinking of applying for the k1 now... My concern is what will happen if he has to leave before it is approved and all the mail ends up piling up in his mailbox with no one to check it (No family or close friends nearby). From what I can tell, most of the stuff he would recieve from the USCIS doesn't require a response within a certain time so it might not be an issue if he can't get to it until he gets back. I am just concerned about an RFE because I think those need to be responded to within 30 days, correct?

    I was just wondering if anyone has gone through a similar situation or has any suggestions on what we should do. Waiting til he gets back wouldn't be the end of the world, I suppose.. but we would really like to get this started asap, as I am sure you can all understand;)

    We are also looking into military expedite...

    Thanks in advance for your input! :thumbs:

    either that or he's just a VJ addict!!! :lol:

    hahahahaha

    but, I know as well as he does that you all are just amazing - and no one knows what our journey was like except for you.... that's a huge connection that can't just go away because we're done with one small part of the process. And we were dying to see who got approved... any new interview dates ..etc... you became our extended family! and still are!

    Well they definitely go too far on that thread (as usual around VJ). But I don't find the thread precious either. The people that obviously don't look around a few minutes before posting comments and questions ... well, I just don't make time for those people. One click on timelines gives you the estimate, showing you that one month isn't reality. One click on K-1 Progress Reports shows people waiting over a year. I won't rub it in their face, but I don't pity them either.

    Anyhow, how's everyone doing?

    I think we were all "those people" at one point and for one question or another. I certainly would never claim to have only asked new questions - after all, it's all been done before.. we're just in a long continuing line of ppl going through this process.

    And what I meant by precious is that I just have that love and sympathy for people just starting.... I know I certainly remember waiting for my NOA1 and 2 and how impatient I was - regardless of the timelines... I think we all (or at least I did) innocently hoped that we'd be one of the lucky ones that seemed to sail through early.

    I think the OP of the thread meant no more harm in "complaining" about waiting a month than we all did complaining or telling USCIS to hurry up when there are people like estadia out there who are enduring far more than we can imagine.

    Kiristen and Terri - thanks for the insurance info! :thumbs:
