Got my visa, but.....

[punkydawg 1]

Greetings everyone.

I got my K-1 visa on Wednesday, after it took them three weeks to get it to me instead of the one week they said it would be.

Cue great sigh of relief - but I just noticed that there is no mention of my fiancée's name on it, and from the research I have done, I expected it to be Annotated with her name.

Am I going to get sent home by the CBP officer?

Thanks for your help.

Has to have the petitioners name on the visa.

I am not positive but I am almost sure that my husband's K-1 did not say my name on it either.

Thanks for that. Blood pressure now returning to normal!!

Just checked. The K-1 visa does not say my name on it anywhere that I could find. It just says his. Maybe it is a London thing or something.

Moving to US embassy and consulate discussion.

That's exactly what it is. Each consulate can use the "Annotation" section of the visa any way they see fit. Many will write the petitioner's name there, but it's not required and it doesn't invalidate the visa if they don't.

A few people who went through London embassy have mentioned that they do not have their fiancee's name in the annotation area for the K1. But they have the fiancee's A# instead.

They are talking about the American fiance's name. They would not have an A# because they are not an immigrant.

Poor wording on my part using "fiancee". What I meant to say was that while most K1 visas from other consulates have the USC -petitioners- name in the annotation area, some of the visas coming out of London have been putting the A# for the immigrant/beneficiary in the annotation area instead of the USC petitioner's name.

Sorry for the confusion.

Many thanks for the help you've all given me. I wish I'd found this place sooner!

The annotation on my visa is totally blank, but from what I've learnt here I now know this is not a problem.

Now I just have to pack up all my stuff in time to fly over there next week...

It will all be worth it when I am sat in Whataburger on Wednesday!
