My fiance has heard from friends that went through this process that there were ways t make it faster...She said hat in one case her friend in colombia got married or engaged to a man from ohio and that within a month and a half she got everything approved...does anyone know if this is true...i would do anything nto know what his process is so i could try it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There must have either been extenuating circumstances in that case, or it was a completely different visa type. And it may have also been pre 9/11.

There are very few ways to expedite a K1 case (for example, a military person who is about to deploy).

We'd all like this to be a speedy process and be with our loved ones ASAP. If this could be done in a month and a half, we'd know about it by now. Afraid to say you're grasping at straws here.

from what in was told there was nothing out of the ordinary...i think it was just knowing someone on the inside...which she is trying to find out...supposedly all they wanted to know was wether he had a car and property

If anyone could expedite their case based on "whether he had a car and property" then half of us wouldn't be still waiting for our petitions.

There are unfortunately very few cases which are expedited. Even those USCs who are military and are about to deploy can sometimes be denied to have their cases expedited, from what I've heard.

Talking to your congressman won't help at this point since they're only able to look at cases which have taken an unusually long amount of time to process (and no, I'm not talking two months, more like a year and going).

What, so we're all lying to you?

Best advice, never listen to hearsay. no ones case is the same, and no ones case will be determined to a deffinate time of approval and arrival. dont get your hopes up on what her friends say, they are not going thru the process, you and your fiance are. if you listen to other ppl, you will get hopes up and when they dont meet your expectations, you will be disappointed.

good luck on your journey

So you believe all of us, but yet what we say is probably fiction?

I either need more caffeine or I just can't read, not sure which it is.

At any rate, I'm sure if there was a way to get through this process in a month and a half, we would know about it by now - regardless of truths or fiction.

Just be careful with what information is given to you. Everyone (not on this site...but in my world...lol) told me all kinds of things. I'm a researcher and gathered enough information to be able to do it the right way and not make any mistakes. (I found VJ after I sent in my petition... ) Just we very careful and take your friend's information with a grain of salt and do your own research. Maybe they DO know someone that can get you moved up on the interview docket or something. I don't know. Just make sure you know what you're doing before you do it. And if you do find out a secret formula.....bring in to us!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck!

Thanks, i wont be listening to fictional informatio anymore...by the way tracy, take it easy girl, no need to be so uptight...were all here to learn and try to get by this process..

[Sinergy 3]

Im glad youve decided not to take fictious adv anymore. Just remember, most of us have already been thru the process, like myself, and some are still learning. The advice you get here will be the right advice usually and its to benefit you.

again good luck on your journey

i dont know what to believe anymore.....as far as how long ago it was , i will know later tonight when my fiance finds out...i also know an attorney generalin bogota colombia which i hope has some influence....

unless the lawyer is paying off people at USCIS (highllllly unlikely), then no. lawyers have no special powers in this process. no special hotline, no special access. nada.

when your case reaches the state department stage (NVC or the Embassy) it's possible you might be able to get help from a congressman/woman. until then, however, sadly, it's hurry-up-and-waits-ville. there's pretty much no way around it.

there are always odd cases here and there that somehow manage to shoot through in record time, usually for no good reason. but i wouldn't get your expectations too high. it IS a frustrating and slow process. you'll make, though.
