We absolutely printed some pictures with the donkeys! I feel like it makes him comfortable for some reason. He knows I love love love animals. It's very different then his town. Dogs just kind  of run around and eat whatever. When I'm there I fly in with dog food and toys and just sit outside like hello hello. It's rubbed off on him. Lol! In all honesty my fiancé is a lot calmer than myself. I think you'll be ok too. This process is one heck of an experience thst I pray will be over in the next two months !! 

There's a reason why we are here and they are not...

 

mine is sightseeing today... just told him I hate Mondays because it is not Monday in California....it took him a while to get why I said that and he complained hating Mondays when he is in California 🤦🏻‍♀️

All my clothes and hijabs come from turkey. Would loveeeee to visit and spend my paychecks on tunics galore. but unfortunately I think the USA still is not accepting new applications for a visa to turkey at the moment. They blocked it a few months ago.. but haven't checked if it's been lifted yet 

They dooo!! (If they don't go coucou over each other again we'll be going together in June before moving!) 

 

it is an awesome place to find find any type of clothing, I love how anything is available to literally anyone! Here you want a scarf ? We have that. You want crop top? We have that too..

 

sorry i just miss it so much, I can talk about it for days... didn't go for 5 years now!!

I don't think there's anything wrong in your case. It's just in some countries engagement can be mixed up with marriage, and religious marriage so some co's deny it based on "too married for k1" and yep it is messed up... you may chose not to provide them unless asked. They may just ask you again if you are married or not. But overall as we have seen a lot of denial (however mostly mena countries and some mock wedding situations) we try to say "be careful with those"

Thanks! Makes sense. Our photos are definitely standard engagement photos. They aren't wedding photos in any way, shape or form. Anyone looking at them would say 'oh, looks like a couple photo session' or 'looks like a engagement photo session'...no one would ever look at them and think 'looks like they got married' .  Thanks for the clarification 😊

I was wondering what is the rate of denial? Do we know? From what I read it doesn't seem to be that common, is that true? I believe they need a really bad reason to deny a visa... Just out of curiosity

For I-129f according to uscis reports:

In 2017 it was on average of 16% 

however after january it was 20%

these rates includes rejections which happens at the starts of the case (before noa1) and they are mostly forgot to sign the form or wrong amount paid etc. and as forms and amount changed this year they were many of those.

other denials are usually not having met or not able to show that they are single.

 

for interview level: it is where most denials happen; from what I've gathered around the forums around (I don't have a percentage though but there are reports about how many approved -don't have the full amount) the reasons are usually not being able to show bonafide, being too married (some people actually get married while waiting...seriously), and financial.

then there is inadmissible... but again no real reported info on these embassy stage denials that I could find specifically for k1.

Thanks for the prompt answer! So yes, I guess it's actually not that easy to get denied. Because all these reasons put the good intentions of the relationship is a very fragile place, i guess...

Exactly!

It's usually a tiny mistake unless it is a fraud case. So I think they are also trying really hard to find those. There was some report on that in the website. I hate those occurrences cause that's why genuine people are waiting like crazy here... or get crazy during the wait....

 

PS_prompt answer=nothing to do at work...sigh...

Hi! Did you try signing up for an account in the USCIS website? That's where I got an email notification that they took an action on our case and approved it. But when I did the case status inquiry in the website, it still said Case was Received... Quite odd. I guess those functions are not really aligned. 

okay thanks I will try this too.

Aww! I’m a California girl and you will LOVE all the good food here! So many options for fresh produce and cheeses - happy cows indeed! 

 

Also fiancé and I just got back from UAE 🇦🇪 and I had so much labneh and halloumi and those Arabic sweets, pistachios and dates, I can’t imagine how much you miss turkish food! Japanese food is good too but so hard to get dairy or something really spicy. If you guys get up to San Francisco, cheese and bread (and wine if you want) are on me!

That's true, this process is taking too long, I can't believe it usually took 3 months of less 

 

Ops... And I Was About To Sleep
