Finally I found this thread. Please I have a question: My fiancées is coming to Nigeria next month and spend 10 days before going back. She want to file the I- 129F immediately. My challenge is that my Nigeria passport has expired and my appointment is around June in order to renew it. Can she submit the form without any information about my passport involved in it? Please for those that have gone through this process kindly enlighten me on it. Thanks |

Good morning, yet to get our welcome letter. we called to get the case number and receipt ID. But from people that have gone through this path, I think there is still a wait time of 12 -15 months. but with the on going process at the embassy to clear the backlog, hopefully, it will be faster. so sit tight and stay strong. all the best to all of us.

I have a question for Pundits in the house. I’m currently serving in the US military and I am a US citizen. What will be the best way to bring my patner from Nigeria, is it best to marry her and file for spousal visa or do a K1. Does being in the military expedites K1 or K3 processing times? |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by OLAOREOFE50: 2:09pm On Apr 01, 2022 |
This is Ridiculos , after waiting almost 1 year to get approval, then another long wait for welcome letter. unbelievable. hopefully it gets faster this time, i pray!! OLAOREOFE50: |

surg411: Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 5-6 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 5-6 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire CR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765, I-944) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/184504-military-expedited-k1-visa/ 3 Likes |

surg411: Sincerely, I'll advise you to go the CR-1 route Gone are the days when K1 timeline used to be 6months...Now, you have to wait endlessly So why not do the CR-1 which comes with more benefit (especially when she gets to the US) Unlike the K1....the wait for AOS approval/process is very frustrating. The choice is yours to make...All the best! 1 Like |

Airboy333: Well said. However, you can get Your SSN with a K1 VISA while still waiting for your AOS to be adjudicated, but must do so before your K1 visa expires, and having your SSN let you process everything else except working and traveling outside the States. PS: Some states let you apply for Drivers Licence without SSN though. 1 Like |

Folks please my fiancée is coming from USA next week and then she will file in for me once she returned back to state in May. Her mum wanted us to have traditional wedding by December. Hope they won’t see this as a formal wedding? And if so, we won’t even mention it during the interview |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by kaycome: 6:18pm On Apr 04, 2022 |

kaycome: One month isn't bad oooooo..... People waited for almost 12 months last year. The good thing was that the whole of 2021 NVC cases was moved to the Embassy in March. Now, Imagine someone whose NOA2 was in January 2021 and Someone whose NOA2 was in December 2021. ( Different waiting period for both). We hope 2022 cases doesn't stay that long before it is been moved to the Embassy. 1 Like |
