Hey everyone,

Just sending off paperwork to US Embassy in London...and a thought had come to me...I'd like to visit my fiance in November for his birthday, and we are hoping to have had the interview by then. After a few delays, we were expecting to get married in November, but have pushed the wedding back to March, and I'm looking to move over in December. This is my question...if I'm approved before November, can I still travel to the USA on a tourist visa, or will I be forced to start my fiance visa then? I say I cant go without starting the fiance visa, my fiance says I should be able to come on a tourist visa? Im confused - any advice?

Thanks, Lisa

The K1 visa is single entry, and once it is in your passport, they almost always make you use it (there have been a couple of instances of Canadians being allowed to visit). November to December is not long, can you bring moving plans forward a month, or not visit as you will be together forever a month later?

I don't think you'll be able to get a visa that quickly since you haven't started with London. It could even be December depending on what you've gotten done already for documents, police certificate, medical exam, etc.
