Need Advice Again....

I think it's worth it to keep with what you're doing, and if you do get denied it will only set you back a month or so in the end.

DOn't worry so much!!

A month???? I can't say I know where you figure that. The process is a little more complicated than that, even with the K-1, and even if it expires.

A MONTH OR SO. Clearly depending on how fast their case goes. They have NOA1 in April so it's almost been 3 months for their NOA2. The interview will probbaly be in early to mid August.

Our K-1 took from early March with our NOA1 and the interview was on June 27th. That's 4 months. They're almost 3 months into their K-1 process.

Maybe you didn't understand that I am talking about the K-1 process, not including a denial. We all know how long that can take. If they do get denied, and marry right after and refile for K-3 then they wouldn't have lost too much time seeing as they are already about 3 months into the process.

So you think Hamid will get his interview sometime in August?? I have plane tickets to go back mid-September for another 3 weeks ( my third trip). I am still in Marrakech right now til next week having a wonderful time and wondering why in hell a person sitting in an office in Casa can decide what I do with my life.

When I get back to TN I am going to get paperwork together like someone suggested to send in right after he gets his interview date. I am going to include stuff like the original packet but update with pics, latest trip, mention Sept. trip, letters from friends and family, etc.

I so appreciate this site. The government site makes everything look so easy..what BS... BTW, our red flags are age difference, length of relationship (7.5 months) and my divorces--these are the reasons that I am not very optimistic for approval. I said before, I expect a denial, but would consider approval a divine miracle...Meanwhile, I will hope for that miracle and keep praying...wait forever if we have to... THANKS AGAIN EVERYBODY FOR YOUR HELP!

You have to prove a legitimate relationship whether you're bringing in a fiance or a spouse. Getting married halfway through just means you wouldn't be eligible for a K-1 anymore, and if the length of relationship, age gap, and your history were a problem (I'm not saying it is, or isn't), that's not going to go away just because you're married.

From USCIS's perspective, if your fiance were using you to get to the U.S. (and I'm not saying he is), and all he had to do to escape suspicion was to marry you.....

Just hang in there. You're already a few months into the K-1 process. No need to undermine that yet.

Maybe I am reading it wrong, but when you state "and if you do get denied it will only set you back a month or so in the end." then I am assuming you are talking in the case of the denial.

My intentions here are to not only advise, but the give facts. She hasn't been denied, and at this point it would be foolish to dwell on that to the point of making herself sick. On the other hand it is important that she understands that a denial is a very time consumming thing, and to prepare herself for that phase if need be.

As for the interview, I don't remember, where is your petition now? The consulate schedules the interviews for the "K" visas, and it usually is pretty quick once they get it. I would estimate about a month after they have it.

This is not difficult. I clearly know, as I have stated before that the process for a denial is NOT one month.
