      If you already filed a K.1 visa application but wanted your fiance to try at getting a regular visa in the meantime could that impact or complicates the already filed process?

    NOTES FROM THE VIDEO:
    K1 Fiancé Visa 🇺🇸💳
    Embassy / Consulate (to apply for visa)
    Necessary Documents:
    • Valid passport for more than 6 months after your intended stay in the US
    • 2 recent US visa photograph ID (Passport pictures)
    • Form DS-160 confirmation page & code
    • Interview schedule letter
    • Approved Form I-129F
    • Criminal back documents
    • Evidence of the relationship with the US citizen
    • Medical examination documents
    • Proof of payment of fees
    ___
    Steps:
    • The US citizen must first obtain permission from USCIS to bring and sponsor their foreign citizen fiance to the US
    • If the USCIS grants this permission, then the foreign citizen must apply for the K1 Fiancé Visa stamp at an embassy or consulate abroad.
    ___
    To Get Approved:
    • File form I-129F with USCIS, then they will process the petition where the official will go through the evidence of the relationship, whether both citizens intend to get married in the US (proof) and whether they will fulfil the eligibility criteria.
    • If both the US citizen and foreign fiance citizen successfully fulfil the requirements, then the USCIS will approve the petition and send it to the National Visa Center (NBC) Then the NBC will inform the embassy or consulate thats closest to the foreign national fiance, then the fiance can take the steps to make an appointment to apply for the K1 Fiancé Visa.
    • It's important to note that you cannot obtain the K1 Fiancé Visa without an appproved I-129F.
    ___
    When applying for the K1 Fiancé Visa abroad:
    • You must fill out form DS-160
    • Schedule the Visa interview
    • Complete medical exams
    • Compile all your legal documents together
    • And attend the Visa interview.
    THE DS-160:
    The DS-160 form is a non-immigrant Visa application with the Department of State, that requests information about your personal information and your intent to immigrate to the US.
    When you submit this form, you will get a confirmation page and a code.
    After this you schedule and attend the K1 Fiancé Visa interview.
    ___
    MEDICAL:
    You must have a licensed physician conduct the necessary medical examination. Your doctor must write a report stating your current health conditions, and because the fiance will get married soon and apply for permanent residency, it's also advisable to get the necessary US required vaccinations (or medical examinations)
    DOCUMENTS:
    When compiling all of your evidence, legal documents, and furtherance of the interview, you need to present the K1 Viancé Visa documents, as well as your additional documents pertaining to the DS-160, which your immigration lawyer will assist you with.
    PROCESSING TIME:
    The overall time it takes for the K1 Fiancé Visa to process will depend on factors such as current USCIS processing times, how busy the consulate or embassy at your location is. This will most likely take many months, so you're definitely going to have to plan ahead and expect delays, especially if you plan to have a wedding in the US. General delays could also be due to the result of partial or full closures of immigration offices, case loads at those immigration USCIS offices, further investigation into your personal information and background, or other administrative delays.
    ___
    The K1 Fiancé Visa Interview:
    • They may ask questions about your US citizen fiancé's full name, how old they are, date of birth, where they where born, their current living status, what they do for work.
    Other questions such as where did you meet your fiance, how you met, have you ever met up in person or in the US or if they visited you, where did you both get engaged, when did you decide to get married, how long you have been talking or have known this person, how often are you in contact with them, and whether you both are marrying for religious reasons.

    Hi there, I realize now. That this could take a long time for my girlfriend to get a K1 visa from Russia to the US. We met on the foreign affairs website. In their bylaws they state not to attempt to use a visitor visa to skirt/avoid the K1 wait times and then get married. But given the extreme nature of circumstances with the US embassy not working/ partial shut down. This complicates our union.
    I’m a U.S. citizen. I can’t fly into her country atm due to the level 4 guideline for travel. Certainly there has to be a logical exception to this hardship.
    I get why they don’t want you to skip the process. But at the same time. It’s really not right to make people wait 2-3 years to unite. It just doesn’t make sense. So many obstacles. She could easily literally travel here on a visitors visa, but can’t on a fiancé processing K1? It’s just dumb.
    Obviously if she came here on a visitors visa, and we got engaged/married. They would ask how we met. And I hate lies. I wouldn’t want to lie. I don’t like dishonesty. But I also hate the idea of waiting 2-3 years.
    I’ll trust God on this one. She is worth the wait. I just think this system is stupid. People’s freedoms mean a heck of a lot more than stupid rules that don’t make sense.

My fiancé is English and we will be in England until the end of the year to see my parents. I know that visas are a process so I’d like to know when would be best to start so we can get married in the States and him live with me in the States. Thanks!

Despite having a B1/B2 visitors visa confirming that I could still get the K-1 Visa? 2. Would this visa allow me to work/study while in the states post the marriage or will I have to go back to my home country until everything has been approved for a green card. 3. Do you have time range that it would take to get the green card?

    I would love to already pay for the application visa and necessary documents, but my lawyer is insisting to wait for an invoice number. Even though NV notified me through email that I can continue the next process and do the payment. Lawyer is telling me that without this invoice number I cannot send a payment and start the process. I’m just a bit confused in your video the way you described it makes me believe that I can start my process already and make sure that my fiancé gets the necessary shots. Medical exam and documents needed and schedule an interview. I’m just a bit confused.

    Hello,
    This question is about when we can file DS-160 for k1 fiance visa.
    We received email from NVC - The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fiancé (e)’s/spouse’s approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Mumbai (Bombay), India. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your fiancé (e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition. In that email they are clearly saying that U.S. Embassy will contact your fiance when they are ready to process his or her petition.
    I also checked the CEAC website. It's showing our case is READY, but that also says - please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment.
    CEAC websight shows following -
    Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment.
    We not yet heard anything from US Embassy. So my question is when we file our DS-160? We should wait for communication from US Embassy before we file DS-160 right?
    thanks in advance.

    but looking at the US Embassy's website for required Docs it states
    " : A Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) from the PSA indicating the annulment or termination, your original divorce or annulment/presumptive death court records, and/or death certificate "
    She has the Australian divorce order but does not have the CENOMAR indicating the marriage Termination.
    Is the Us Embassy looking for BOTH a CENOMAR and+ Foreign divorce order .....OR either one or the other..
    Will the Embassy accept just the Divorce order without a CENOMAR thank you.
    She is Philippine citizen and had an Australian Divorce order. thank you

Alternatively you can just email the concerned consulate that the case shows ready status and then they will send you packet 4 info . Packet 4 info is simply how you apply for the interview. It will have a checklist of what you need to get for the interview. The medical, police clearance, tax transcripts, all income docs and evidence of relationship.
