Filing while together in USA

[MissBecs 0]

Has anyone here actually Filed for this while in USA? I am trying to decide if I should go back to visit then file as soon as I arrive - then wait til I actually need to do something back home, or if we should just file straight away and just risk not seeing each other for however long. Roger is in the army and its almost impossible for him to visit me here in Australia.

If you have filed while being in the states together... has this delayed the time at all?

I assume you mean you are going to file when visiting, and not staying there.

We filed for our K1 whilst I was visiting last year, and it was good to be both involved in the collation of what we needed.

There wasn't any sort of additional delay - just the usual wait.

You can file during your visit, sure. It's a good time to get the ball rolling. Two pieces of information you should know, is if he is going to be deployed, and can confirm this with paperwork, then you can get your case expedited. Secondly, when you file your application you can still visit the US while it's in progress as long as you have evidence of ties to your home country. Many people do this during the process.

Best of luck!

There's even a question of "is your fiance in the U.S right now?" and we put "yes" with the departure record.

No problems.

We filed while I was in the US and it actually helped because we saved the mailing costs and time Plus we reviewed it with two pairs of eyes, instead of one.
