I've gotten approved today for my K1 visa, so I went checking out the second step in this paperwork horror.

Can you use D.O.R.A. with a K1 or no?

It would be so typical if I can't, I've seen the backlog on the AOS and it isn't pretty... Looking at 13 months there. I'll be living in Plano, and that is right smack next to Dallas. I am going to marry my girl the 9th of december, so filing will be done asap after that.

Yes you can use DORA with a K-1... we did and a K whatever for the kids 2 and everything worked out fine

I think I may be addicted to checking my case status online :wacko: ... I check it at every available opportunity ad know the number off by heart lol and check the mailbox every morning in great anticipation.

The thing is recently I've been having horrid nightmares where the immigration officer is towering over me and is about 10 foot tall and shouts at me over a court room type table DENIED and then has an evil grin on her face. :huh: I'm scared that it might be a sign and that they might deny me :blink:

its been 4 weeks today since my biometrics and 52 days since the AOS appointment. My attorney seems to think that it will be completed within 70 days but i'm not so sure. I'm totally rambling now so I shall now shut up :P
