Fiance(e) Visa process Usa- Europe

Does anyone know how long the process would be to obtain a FV for a UK Citizen to come to the USA? Is it shorter than say obtain a visa from Pakistan?

It says in your signature you are already married...

The process itself will take about the same time, but after the interview, many men from Pakistan get put into AP (Additional processing- security checks). This would happen even if a Pakistani is legally present in the UK and interviewing there.

As the previous poster mentioned, it looks from your signature like you are married. If the marriage is legal wherever you had it (such as a proxy marriage followed by the meeting in person you mention), then you can no longer file for a K1 fiance visa and would need to file for a CR-1 spousal visa.

In addition to what Penguin_ie said, even if it is a UKC applying in the UK, they are likely to experience additional processing if they were born or lived in Pakistan for any time.

Yes but not shorter than a person from say.....Sweden or Russia....the timelines above give an idea.

Hi All and thank you for the response. Yes We are married by faith but never have a civil marriage. For muslim, like myself, we have to have 2 marriages (a religious one and a civil marriage). In short we are not married according to the UK and US. Our Religious wedding is much more of an engagment.
