Sharing my timeline and tips up to NOA2

[dalkiloves 1]

Hello everyone! I am the beneficiary and my fiance is in Cincinnati, Ohio. we applied for our k1 visa on March 3rd 2014 and

I already finished scheduling for my visa interview. I am Korean and my fiance is Korean american. I wish I could help people through visa process if I can be any helpful. We actually got one RFE on May that my fiance accidentally missed a little box to check for his background history (whether he has any past issue with his criminal record), and he quickly emailed them back with updated information. and then, we got our NOA2 about two weeks after the day he mailed them.

If anyone has questions for me, please leave messages or comments.!!!

Thank you everyone here on Visajourney.com for sharing information and wish we can get our visa soon!!! =)

it is worth waiting. ^^
