should my fiancee update K1, Today, 08:06 AM

[HaoVN 0]

Hello folks,

I'm Vietnamese and now live in HCMC.

My fiancee, who is American, helped me to apply for K1 visa in December 9, 2008.

Then he only received NOA1 Receipt.

I've heard from an expert travel agent that normally, after receiving NOA1 Receipt, we'll receive NOA2 approval 3 weeks later. Is it right? I still wonder ... whether my fiancee should update my K1 on our engagement party with his second time of visitting VN. Just b/c now we dont have any NOA2 approval.

My fiancee supposed that It's better for me to tell more detail abt our relationship timeline as engagement... on my interview day at embassy in HCMC.

Therefore, he didnt call the NOA office's phone which number is 800 375 5283 yet.

Hey, help me pls to find out the better way to get it K1.

Thanks,

Hao

4-6 months sounds about right, the "expert" gave you the wrong information, 3 weeks is too short.

You were misinformed. Look at the timelines on here. I don't know what you mean by "updating the K1". You can bring that info with you to your interview.

Hi Hao,

Did your fiance file at the California or Vermont Service Center in the US? You or he can look at the timeline in this forum and see how long it takes to get NOA2. You probably have at least 1 more month to wait. You will never get NOA2 in 3 weeks.

Like other people have said, do not send more documents to USCIS. Keep all those papers and pictures from your dinh hon and take them with you when you go for your interview. Also, ask your fiance to please come and see you at least 1 more time. 2 visits together is usually not enough for getting K1 visa in Vietnam.

Come to this forum to ask questions. People here are happy to help you. Good luck.

Welcome to VJourney.

My NOA2 took more than 5 1/2 months from NOA1 to NOA2, so good luck.

Your "expert" knows little or nothing of the process. There is no such thing as an "update" of the K-1. Your case is pending and well within normal timelines. Right now, for you, no news is probably good news.
