K1 Visa in Jamacia

[David and Marina 0]

Ok, so let me see if I have the K1 process down for Grand Cayman.

1. I (the USC) apply for the K1 visa, then USCIS forwards it on to the counsulate of that country. (Lucky me, Grand Cayman's is in Kingston Jamacia ))

2. Once Kingston Receives it, then they send out a packet (I understand Jamacia's is one) to my fiancee.

3. My fiancee fills that out completely. (I will probably have her make copies just in case any mistakes happen). Once filled out she can either mail it or go in person.

-----I have a question here. Should we fill out the packet first and then phsyically take it to Kingston and will they then giver her the "k" status immediately, allowing her to come back to the US with me.

---OR as soon as I get the I-797 form, can we go to Jamacia, get the packet, fill it out in our hotel room, and then turn it in, AND will she get the K status immediately and be able to come back with me?

What would one suggest? Thank you, any help is GREATLY appreciated.

The USC submits the I-129F petition........take a look at the K-1 Guide

Once approved at service center it is then forwarded to NVC where it is assigned a case number and undergoes further security checks. It is then forwarded to the IV Post/Consulate. Packet/s are then sent out which includes the application for the visa. Cannot just complete the forms in the packet, walk in and get the visa. An interview date has to be scheduled. Have a look at the timelines for Jamaica HEREwhich will give you an idea of time between NOA2 (approval at service center) and interview.
