You have a thread going on that topic.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Hi to all! This is my first post here. Pls be easy on me lol. I'm overwhelmed at too many info here:) 

 

I have a tourist visa for 10 years. Will it get canceled if I apply for K1 visa

 

I'm thinking no from the title of the thread and the experiences shared. Am I correct with my observations? 

 

So in summary, I can visit the US, using my b1/B2 visa even during a pending K1 visa process? 

 

Thanks.

Yes, during the K-1 process you can visit with an existing visa like B1/B2 and ESTA.

We are trying to plan our wedding in mid Augustc2018.

My fiance and i just booked a US cruise for mid April and she has her company convention in Orlando Do last week of July.  Then another Convention in Japan over thanksgiving 2018.

 

So if we are trying to plan to plan to get married mid August about when should we send in the K1 Visa Application so it's not approved before our April Cruise...and do you think her green card should be approved in time for her to go to Japan in November???

Hello!!! How do you find out how long they can stay on a visitors visa?? 

With a tourist visa like B1/B2, you're allowed to stay up to six months.

Can I ask, if your fiance is on the VWP, and they visit you, is this information available to IO's at POE? I'm not advocating being deceitful, I just don't understand why one can't be brief with their answers like during any normal visit? Is it advisable to only bring up/out K1 paperwork if you're being grilled or taken into secondary?

That is exactly what you do, if asked do you know the time the answer is yes or no.

My fiance is about the most honest person I have ever known... (example my daughter's cell phone died... just stopped working.... the warranty repalces if lost or stolen but not for software issues- the Apple Store guy said tell them you lost it... my fiance was appalled that they said this... I would NEVER lie about it... I went to verizon they said they'd replace it and they did but she wanted to make sure I didn't lie about it even though the guy at the Apple store said to- I didn't lie about it.. the warranty was through Verzon and it's good--- just letting you know she's so honest.)

 

Now what is VWP... I don't know these acronyms... IO's and POE?  sorry for my ignorance

Cool. We've never had problems thus far, but we only just filed our paperwork while he was here visiting this Summer. He told the IO he was coming to visit his girlfriend for two months, and all she said is "have a great time!" I know it's not always like that, I actually got taken into secondary on my second entrance to Scotland, and am anticipating that again when I visit.....but I'll have my paperwork with me to show we're going to live in the US, anyway.

IO= Immigration Officer, POE= Point of Entry or Port of Entry. Is Japan on the VWP, aka Visa Waiver Program?

Hi All

 

I'm just back from visiting my fiance in the US whilst our K1 is processing (we have the interview booked!) and had absolutely no problems! :) 

 

I've wrote a blog post about it if you want to hear about my personal experience: https://yaztalksalot.wordpress.com/

 

All that worrying for nothing! 

 

Yaz xo

Thank you for posting this, my fiance is from Scotland as well so reading your experience and following your timeline is very interesting!
