Tired of waiting

[Lonelywithouthim 5]

Hello VJ family,

We have been in AP for over six months. We are tired of waiting, it is an absolute torture. We Are thinking of getting married and submitting a new application. So, do we cancel the k1 process and how?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

I would think that this change of plans will increase the overall time until a visa issued.

A spouse petition won't rocket through the system and be sitting there out of breath at the Nairobi embassy. You will essentially be plowing the entire field over again.

I suspect that once you get married and file for a spousal visa, he will be placed in AP. I would stick to plan A.

Getting married and filing a new petition will take at least 7-10 months from the day you send the petition to interview. And then at the interview you will only be put in AP again. Why in the world would you want to do that? Filing a different petition will not change the fact they they need to do additional background checks on your spouse!!!!!!!!!!!!

How will getting married change any of the process or procedures. Atleast you are near the end, getting married puts you at the beinning again.

Unless you enjoy AP I would advise you stick with the K-1. The security checks have to be done no matter if it is a fiance visa or spousal visa being applied for. If you cancel the K-1 you go back to square zero and after many months, when he has the interview, the AP starts again, at square zero.

Stick to K1, you're half way there

Good luck!

stick to the k1, even if you go the marrige route same thing will happen at the end he will still be put on ap, it will even waste more time and money for you guys. Dont regret it later if this happen, since you have all the advice from everyone here its good to take the advice. good luck

If both of you really wants to get married, nothing can hold you to get married. But there is no guarantee that as you process for another route that it will get approve, it might be put back in AP. But remember if two people truly love each other they make a way to be just in each others arm. Whatever decision both of you choose may the Lord will guide you and bless you both. Good luc and GOD speed!

my lawyer told me. there's something called residence time for each country. usually 6 months. some countries dont have any residence time. But if you go to his country and stay that time, then technically you can file your marriage papers from there. should be much quicker.

You'll have to go through AP again after the CR-1 interview. Plus of course the starting over from scratch with spousal petition.

I hope you hang in there no matter what you decide.

this won't solve the problem of being put back in AP

the reason why your fiancé is under AP IS because he is somali, most, if not all male from such countries go through AP. BE patient.
