Honesty is always the best policy. If you answer every question as honest as you can you should have no issue. Pay very close attention to the requirements at the different stages of the Visa Process and follow the directions as close as you can. If you do that, you should be just fine. If you do end up needing help, this forum is full of exceptionally smart and helpful people who have been through or are going through the same process you are so don't hesitate to ask for direction!

Best Wishes!

I hope when you say " married in the future " that you mean in the 90 days after you enter on the K-1. Because you must marry in 90 days after entry to the USA using the K-1 visa.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

its a form stating that you have all ur shots...it saves u money once u get here so thats always a plus! They will only try to find excuses if your relationship doesnt seem solid to them...the more proof and visits you guys have the better. Save everything because you never know when it may come in handygood.gif
