Military Expedited K1 Visa

[meltinicecubez 0]

Hey guys,

I'm hoping you might be able to help me because I'm a bit confused with this whole process.

I'm a British citizen and planning on getting married to a US soldier. He's currently deployed and wont be home till the last week of May at which point I will be 35 wks pregnant. We were going through the visa's and trying to find out what to do when he was told he could get the whole process expedited. We sent all the paperwork in and he phoned them and they told him that we should recieve something in the post within the next 5 days verifying that its been done. I asked him to call them and find out how much I was gonna have to pay on this side / if I still had to do all the police reports and interviews etc and they told him that I didnt need to do any of it.

I was just wondering if anyone else has been through this and knows if I definatly dont? I dont wanna get my hopes up that its sorted for it to all to turn out not to be.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Typically a military expedite has to do with getting the K-1 visa approved BEFORE the soldier is deployed overseas, not to get the K-1 approved before the soldier returns to the USA. In this case more than likely they will say there is no reason to expedite because in any case sooner or later the soldier will be in the USA BEFORE the K-1 visa is issued.

Pregnancy is not a reason to expedite.

I am in the Army and we got our petition expedited based on the probability of being deployed (based on the type of unit I am in). To request an expedite call the dedicated USCIS Military hotline (1-877-247-4645). Tell them you want to request an expedite of the petition based on "National Interest/ Military Reasons". You will need to have the case receipt number USCIS gave you in the NOA1. They will ask for proof of the deployment, so be prepared to get a letter from the commander and a copy of the deployment orders would be helpful too.

Obtain a fax number and fax the requested info to them. I got an approval in 3-4 days & the petition was approved something like 44 days after they initially received it. Good luck & let me know if you need more info.
