Recieved an email

[k_39 2]

I received an email from the US consulate in my country (located in Sydney), which is very exciting. It asks me to create a profile on USTravelDocs which includes completing the DS-160. Who else has received this email before and if so is there a time limit in which I can complete these steps? Thanks!

It's the usual process for K1 visas.. it means that your approved I129f has been received in Sydney. Your I129f is valid for 4 months from approval, so you want to have medical, paperwork, Ds160 etc all done and your interview date scheduled for before the 4 month expiry date.

Time to get your rollerblades on and move !! 

Wow that's exciting! So it was approved yesterday when I recieved it? Wow!

 

Sorry if this really stupid but does that mean four months until we get married? Or until I enter the US?

 

Any addition advice is welcome. Thanks again!

U have 4 months to get medical and interview done. Once interview is completed u have 6 months to travel to the states. Once in the states u have 90 days to marry.

 

congradulations on ur first hurdle. There's many more to come. This is the worse one tho.

You are in the final stretch before the interview... your actual 

time frame depends on how prepared you are now with all your documents and evidence needed for the interview, when you do your medical, when you get your interview, and how quickly you make the actual move after receiving your visa.

Hopefully you have researched this stage and the processes, what documents you must have, and have been preparing for moving to the US. If you haven’t done much research and really don’t know what is next.. now is the time to immerse yourself in the information available in the K1 guide on this website, the USCIS pages and the information from the Sydney Consulate. Read fast but thoroughly, be ordered, careful, make lists, do one task at a time , keep track of things, make copies of everything...

BTW.. we live in Dallas 

Thank you! Also thats awesome, that helps a lot.

I'm a little confused because we got our NOA2 a couple of months ago roughly (sometime lateish may, I can't remember at the top of my head) and my partner is saying we only really have til August as our NOA2 expires around that time...? I feel lost! I heard someone else say it's valid for a year. I should've mentioned the NOA2 earlier. So it was just an approval notice from Sydney we got recently, and I think thats what I'm finding confusing. How long until the NOA2 expires, and how long the approval notice lasts for as well.

Yoir fiance visa hasnt been approved.. no .. that happens at your interview.  What has been approved is the underlying petition,, the I129f, which now allows you,   the beneficiary, to apply for a visa as a fiance of the petitioner. 

Thank you!
