Didn't see a December 2019 thread started so here it is. Congratulations on the submission of your K1 visa application. This forum will be very helpful to you through your visa process "journey" as we call it here. If you have not done so yet please fill out your time line as it makes it easier for other VJers to assist you if you should have any questions later on during your journey. Best advice, is remember why you have submitted your K1 application and do not set very high expectations of the process. Current processing times according to USCIS are 5.5 to 7.5 months (for case adjudication only), some could be sooner some much later. The trends so far this year have been considerably less than what USCIS has listed, which is good news for current filers. Let's hope this trend continues on through this last month of the year. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/K1_Process_V11.pdf Welcome To Visa Journey

My fiance got her k1 visa approved recently and I was just wondering if she will have any problems coming to America during the Covid 19 panic. There are flights available but I need to know if there will be any issues. I'm waiting for embassy to open to call them too. Thanks in advance.

Hi, my fiancé had her interview in TASHKENT, UZBEKISTAN and our case was sent to administrative processing due to her not obtaining a police clearance from Dubai, UAE. We thought since she no longer lives in Dubai, she was not able to obtain a police clearance. Can someone point me in the right direction? Fiancé said she was on tourist visa for 12 years in Dubai. Don’t see how this is possible, but we have until September 30 to go back for 2nd interview and resubmit the Dubai police clearance for K1 Visa. There was 2!checks on the form provided, it was #11 for the UAE police clearance and #21 which says additional verification is required.

I'm close to sending in my I-139F but I have a few answers that I hope this community can clarify for me. Part 2, Question 37-38.h: On the I-129F form it says to do 38.a-38.h if the beneficiary is currently in the US. On the I-139F directions, it says to provide the information regarding the beneficiary's most recent entry. My fiance is not currently in the US but had recently visited. Am I supposed to answer this question or not? Part 3 Criminal information 4a-4b: I have two alcohol related incidents. One I was cited for, the other I was arrested for. These have both been expunged. I have court certified documents stating that these records no longer exist. I also have the expungement document with all the appropriate signatures. The only problem is that they wrote my social security # wrong. Should I still send the expungement document? Will this cause problems for me?Also, should I explain the entire situation of how I was arrested? Or would just listing the charges and dates be enough? Last question - other names used: My nickname is a shortened form of my name (think Matthew-Matt). I sign my signature with this nickname and have it on some travel documents I'm including as proof. The same goes for my fiance. So for other names used, should we put out nicknames? Or is this only for a legal name? Thanks in advance for the help!
