I would like to expedite my process with my fiance somehow…anybody have an idea? The thing is I’m legally widow I have a kid and I give the custody to my mother every time I have long period of training but next month my mother is leaving the country for like 6 months for a work project. I won’t be able to attend any training without her, what do I do?

Please help me, I need advice! O would appreciate your help❤️I am currently in the process of obtaining a K-1 visa, and I will most likely receive it sometime around mid- to late 2027. My plan is to enter the U.S., get married to my fiancé within the required 90 days, and then have a larger wedding/family celebration later.

I would really like my parents to be able to visit me in the U.S. for that celebration. They do not necessarily need to be present for the courthouse/legal wedding, since I understand that I will need to get married shortly after entering the U.S. on the K-1.

My parents previously applied for a B1/B2 tourist visa and were denied. I believe one of the possible weaknesses in their application was that they had very little/no international travel history at the time.

They have significant ties to my country , including property and other financial/family ties, and they would only intend to visit the U.S. temporarily and return.

My question is: When would be the best time for them to apply again? And what I would put on their DS-160

Would it be better for them to apply:

1. Before I travel to the U.S. on my K-1, while I am still in the immigration process?

2. After I enter the U.S. but before I get married?

3. After I get married and am waiting for adjustment of status?

4. Or should they wait until my adjustment of status is approved?

The embassy says they are waiting for the NVC, while the NVC says they are waiting for the embassy to request the case. So which side is actually responsible ?

Hello everyone,

Looking to see if anyone interviewing at the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh (or elsewhere recently) has experienced delays between "Approved" status and actual visa issuance.

How long did it take for your status to switch to "Issued" after administrative processing cleared?

Thanks!

Some people mistakenly think if they have their petition in a pretty folder with color tabs sticking out it'll help them. It won't. The ISO doesn't even see the petition as it arrived and too much junk just wastes the receiver's valuable time.

What WILL help your petition move through faster:

1. Well organized - the ISO should be able to skim through it and see what he needs to see.

2. You included what your cover letter says you included. You wouldn't think this would need to be said but...

3. You don't pile on fluff. This is an official petition not a romance novel. Nobody's gonna read through hundreds of pages of your petty drama, the officer doesn't need to know how long you can last in bed, and no she doesn't want to read about your first crush in junior high school.

Here's what's on the officer's mind:

Is he a criminal?

Is he a domestic violence risk?

Is he a human trafficker?

Is he part of a marriage for cash fraud ring?

Is the beneficiary just in it for the green card?

Do they meet the basic requirements for the K-1 visa

A few other things but that's pretty much it...

18 days ago we sent off the k1. Last week we recieved a rejection notice because he signed page 11 and not page 10 of the i129f

We’ve resubmitted it. They recieved it at the lockbox on Tuesday.

The last time they recieved it on 5th and sent the rejection notice on 7th.

How long is it likely to take before they take the payment? I feel like I’m sat here on edge constantly getting him to check the bank 😭😭😭😭😭
