We called today to DoS, and the lady there thought we should have an interview date set by next Friday at the latest. They are up to late Dec in London, so we should have an interview before new year. Then as soon as Melannie finishes up at her job, life will be good again!

You could still make it in time for Christmas!

Does anyone know if you are allowed to enter the U.S with a k1 without using it to enter?

Melannie would like to come here for the holidays, but has to stay in the U.K until late Feb on her job contract. As much as we'd like to be done with our visa before the holidays, in some ways it would be better for us if our interview was in Jan.

We dont want to postpone though as we are most eager to be through with this process, and will spend the holidays apart if that is the way it works out.

i think its automatically used. if you do a search you should (not that searches allways work)

come up with a few who have asked before but i think they make you use it when you enter even if you dont want to. :unsure:
