Waiting for P3 from Embassy - Not Meet Within 2 Years with My Fiancé

[Nobita24 25]

Hi all,

 

I am now waiting for my P3 from US Embassy in Indonesia. On Thursday July 29, US Embassy in Indonesia sent an email to my fiancé to confirm about me as beneficiary (name, address, phone number and email) and he replied it (it was late at night in Indonesia when he replied it). So now, I am still waiting for P3 from the embassy.

 

I am preparing all the docs needed, filled up DS-160 (haven't submitted it) and other docs. But I am concerned about the meet up with my fiancé which already passed 2 years. It is exactly 3 years now. The last time we met was in August 2018. We didn't meet up in 2019, because his mom was sick and passed away on June 2019 (my fiancé already prepared his mom death certificate). We didn't meet up after his mom passed away in 2019 because it was hard for him to leave his dad since his dad was really sad and he needs to stay by his side. And then 2020 the pandemic started, which we can't meet up. So we decided to file K1 (it was last minute since we filed it at the end of July 2020). We got our NoA1 on August 4, 2020 and NoA2 on June 15, 2021.

 

Do you think the embassy could denied our k1 visa? is there anything we can do? 

 

Thanks in Advance

The requirement is to meet within 2 years prior to filing, not prior to the interview.  Since USCIS approved the petition, that means they determined that you met the requirement.  The consul officer would not deny you a visa for that reason, unless they think USCIS made a mistake in calculating the dates.  What the CO may deny your visa for could be suspicion that your relationship is not bona fide.

 

I do not recommend sharing the details of why you were not able to meet, unless the CO asks about them specifically.  Volunteering the information without being asked could make it sound like you're making excuses.  Instead, focus on how you maintained your relationship despite the separation.  Bring a print-out of your call logs and a sampling of chat excerpts spread across the months since your last in-person meeting.  If you did not include photos in your petition, bring photos of the two of you together, including photos of you two with friends and family.

 

Also, make sure to bring recently-dated and signed statements of intent to marry from you and your fiance.  The statement from the USC may be scanned + emailed + printed.

Thank you so much for the advice  .

 

I also will inform my fiancé to sign statement of intent to marry.
