we are the world

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I have a question and maybe one of you can assist. My finance have applied and were approved for a K1 visa late last year. Due to my nature of my profession, I travel extensively and currently have a project in her home country of Brazil and is not scheduled to end till later this year. Her K1 visa is set to expire for entry into the U.S. on April 15.

My question is this: If we marry in the U.S. before her K1 entry expires, then travel back to Brazil together (I know she will have abandoned her AOS), can we proceed with the K3 process for her reentry after my project ends? Due to my work we can not even start the AOS process in the states. Just marry and return back to Brazil. Will I be able to bring her back on a K3 or some other form like I-130 Petition for Alien Relative (I think) later down the road?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

We're in the same situation. I mailed the packet on April 28th, they received it on April 30th, and it's almost been 3 weeks and nothing yet. I paid with a money order so I can't see if they cashed it yet. My fiance and I are wondering if it's only going to get worse.

Hi Everyone,

We also sent our paperwork on 4/28/09, CSC in California received it on 4/30/09, but we still have not received a first notification!! It's been two weeks. Does anyone know how long the first notification might take?

Thanks,
