Hi

Has anybody looked into this as an option to speed up the K1 visa process?

And if so, any idea how much.

We just received our cellphone bill......$600 AND we've seen each other eavery 2 or 3 weeks!!!!!

Thanks

Paul

Get a local number using Skype In. You pay $18 for 3 months. Your fiancee calls you at the local number (that is your DID number). You answer the call through Skype and talk unlimited. Sometimes there are connection problems with DID's, but I've found the Skype In to be very reliable.

I mentioned they should have a fee for expedited service on K-1s once. I was taken out back and stoned by the masses. Everyone lectured me on how unfair it was for those can't afford it. Pushing them even further in their wait. "Get in line like the rest of us!"

I'm one to believe in "supply and demand", though I also believe in being fair. In this case, I think it should be avaliable for K-1's to be made to go faster for more money. After all, we already do this with so many other services!

And besides, think of as a test of "is it worth it to ya" vs. "can you afford it"

The same thing is done with passports, they have an expedited version of that, is that fair to have it faster if you can afford the more money?

It's the only way they could regulate something of a fast and slow line. If they had a free fast lane, everyone would pile into that.

Look at wal-mart. They have a 20 items or less lane. Is it fair to the people who CAN'T buy less than 20 items to wait in line? Maybe... But then there would be no fast lanes.

I guess all I'm saying is, it's a system of regulating the people who are willing, not the people who are able. I'm sure if there was a legit way of measuring who needed or wanted something, they'd use that instead. /end rant

Hey, I'm poor. But I still understand the system, even if it does end up corrupt sometimes. XD

But either way... there is no expedited version of the K-1. lol Damn...

Where were you when I needed you! I said the same thing. Everyone said it was not fair because human lives were being affected by shoving reunions further down the line. I tried to compare it with expedited shipping. Someone elses order is not slowed down when someone different pays for next day shipping. They only get theirs in the normal timeframe. No one agreed with my points. Sigghhh.

* Picks his rock back up and glares at Kazan' Tiger.*

Yeah, have to say I was one of the stone throwers, and I say that as somebody who would be able to afford a reasonable expedited fee. I'm as big a capitalist pig as anyone, but I just think there are some things that money shouldn't be able to buy. It just doesn't feel right to me, and I can't really verbalize why.

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

I do understand your point too, really! Maybe put down the rock, please...

I'm against higher fees to expedite simply because those Federal Pigs should NOT get more money. In fact I think we should have a right to withhold all of our taxes for a year because the Federal Government is failing US. (Yes I am a Libertarian...lets not get into that)

Easier said than done... Political armchair debates are what internet forums are great for!!

I'm with Santa on this. I think they should offer expedited services to us. Most would take it i suspect. (Note to self: If I get stoned wont ever admit it in an overseas embassy or at a medical screen, I could be banned!!!) yikes@the thought of banning santa cuz he got stoned today

LOL @ Federal Pigs

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

I didn't mean the pig term venomously per say. Its just that the Federal government is so bloated and overspends so much that systems which should be streamline (especially when dealing with USC's) are horribly slow and marginally corrupt.

"Stoners" often refer to those in authority as "pigs"
