k-1 visa

[Rachel & Tom 9]

It has now been exactly 5 month since we filed for our k-1 fiancé visa. Every day it says it’s in the initial stages on the web site, and when I call it says the same thing. I guess there are just some days when I get so irritated that it takes so much time to do this, not irritated at my fiancé or our relationship, just at the process.

I was told by our lawyer that this process would take about 9 months total, but at this rate I don’t see it happening anytime soon. I real don’t want to be a pessimist, because that not how I am at all, but there are some days when I just want to cry! I just want wait to be his wife and for us to start our life together.

Does anyone else feel like there life is kind of on hold right now? Like you are waiting for it to start kind of?

The status isnt necessarily reliable and you may find the 'Initial Review' may never change... this can happen long after people have been approved - so while its addictive to check the status, you can't rely on it. It is more helpful to check other peoples' timelines that are similar to yours to see how the general trend is going.

.. and yes it can be really really tough - we are on 'round 2' and it appears they may have lost our petition but have our check. It is a work 'in progress'. Just try and keep busy on other things and know that you are not alone

This is how I feel right now.

We filed in January, and haven't heard ANYTHING since then. I check my status pretty much every day with no change.

Fortuantely, as a Canadian, I can stay in the US (where my fiance is) for 6 months of the year. I've been here since May when we had a wedding ceremony (we're not legally married, but we decided to have a ceremony for family and friends, assuming that the "5 months" was a fairly certain amount of time for the visa to go through). I'm not looking forward to having to leave him in October if my visa still hasn't gone through ):
