I-797

[MCIANFRANI 0]

First post so I apologize in advance if the topic's been repeated.

I filed my original petition Feb 14, 2012

March 3 it was sent back because the check was for the wrong amount. I mailed the entire packet back with the corrected amount the same day

August 3 I got a request for additional information. I've never been married and they were asking for a copy of my divorce decree

Today September 17 I got an I-797 dated Sept 11 saying the petition was approved and forwarded to NVC

My concern is that my fiance is retired so he flies back and forth from London to visit. I spent the summer with him and when we returned August 5th he was told by immigration at Sky Harbour Airport in Arizona that the next time he leaves the country, which is scheduled for October, he cannot come back until his Visa has been approved. The guy was very nast and said he could be an "#######" and "kick him out of the country" but because his daughter was with us he was making an exception but said he is "noting it in the computer" whatever that means. So my fiance is here with me now, afraid to go back because the rest of the process could take months and months. I don't know what happens next. I'm reading online that people get packets, medical examinations etc. I'm so confused but don't want to do anything that will jeopardize the application. We've followed all the rules and yet it still seems to be taking forever.

Thanks in advance for any advice you share

You can create a VJ timeline and put all those dates in,

The guy thinks he's visited too many times or for too long. He made notes that the next guy will see no matter which airport so best not try to return until he has the visa. It won't have any effect on his getting the K1.

This is what needs to be done right now. Read the whole thread. Read the London website (links are in the thread.) Read all the threads in the UK forum. You're looking at 2-3 months.
