Firts question: My fiancee and i are about to start the paper work for the fiancee visa i would like to know what do we need to send. He call USCIS last week to found out what we need to send with the K-1 form they told him we need to send a passport picture of him and me and another form call biographic information, but i been reading here and some people says they also need to send pictures of them together to prove they know eachother???? help!!!

Second question: How long does it take for the k-1 visa to be aprove i know it depends on the fiancee's country and other things, im from mexico and my fiance is in the army he just got back from iraq and came to mexico to visit me and we went to the american embassy they denied us to get in because we didnt had an apointment so he call the congress man or senator from the state he is from, and the junior senator call him back and told us he was gonna wrote to the embassy to let us get in and he did. Few days ago he send him an email telling us to let him know when we sent our form so he would try to speed up the process would that help us?? him being in the army and the senator calling the USCIS???

I'm guessing the USCIS told your fiance the minimum requirements for submission of an I-129F. You should definitely send in more than one picture of the two of you together in different settings.

Published times for approval by USCIS of I-129F is 5 months from NOA1 to NOA2 regardless of country. As for him being in the Army, he could ask the USCIS to expedite if he was about to be deployed. However, since he is coming off a deployment, he could still ask for an expedite, but there is no promise or guarantee that the USCIS would expedite. The Senator calling the USCIS will make no difference.

Your fiance need sto go to the USCIS site and look up Military page for 129f applications. Theya re supposed to get priority if he is being deployed but even though he haas just come off deployment they can help him on the help line or he can go and see his Jag unit. He still has to fill in all the rrequired forms like the rest of us and he can find all this on the guides here or USCIS web page for all the information. Just read a lot and make sure you have all supporting documents to go with 129f petition. 5 months is the average wait but can take longer.
