Hello!

I have 1 question for everyone.

Do you know if it is possible to pick up your Approved k-1 visa from the Embassy 1 or 2 days after approval?

It would just be easier to fly down for the interview and fly back with my fiance instead of flying down for the interview and than back down to pick her up two weeks later.

11/28/2012 Engaged

01/17/2013 K1 visa sent

02/07/2013 NAO1

06/21/2013 Case Transferred to TSC

07/30/2013 RFE - Proof we met in two years

08/16/2013 NAO2!

you dont want her to travel by herself?? it takes about a week for the visa to be completed after approval

Both her and I fly for free on standby, so it's easier for me to be there to help her navigate the whole process. Plus she has never flown before.

We want to get married in the United states before the new year for the tax benefits and since the interview isn't until 12/16 I'm not sure if we can get the visa mailed in time for that. Wondering if it would be easier to pick up the visa instead

I'm planning on doing exactly the same thing, just a couple weeks before you. Our interview is the 5th, and I've been reading other people's timelines to get an idea of how long between approval and visa in hand it is. It looks like the people who pick it up at Domex usually have it within 3-4 days so that's our plan. Buddy passes can be a pain especially around the holidays so I'm going to say lots of prayers that they process it fast so I can get back to work!
