Congrats to the approvals. :dancing: We received our packet 3 today, but it will be a few weeks before we finish it and can schedule our appointment. Unfortunately Saudi takes a good bit to issue the police record.

Congratulations! I'm off for a quick visit this week, it's so hard being apart during this stressful process!

Wishing everyone positivity and good luck! My fiancé and I agree that going through this process will make the marriage even stronger. We're all working so hard to make it happen and we all deserve a big pat on the back (and maybe a glass of champagne after!!) :luv:

When paying the visa fee the K1 is considered "no immigrant" right?

There is always a confusion about this visa as it's special, it's alwas said how it's non-immigrant, but in fact it's immigrant, so to sign up you use "immigrant visa". I pm-ed you more thorough instructions for the embassy in Russia, hope they help.
