I'm 90% sure that we got approved today at our interview. Was given a 221g and told to wait for an email for instructions, but later that day, CEAC shows the visa as issued. So I'm assuming the instructions will be on how to pick up passport

 

Did they mention the reason for the 221g?

That's interesting because a 221g indicates they need more information or something is missing that they still need from you. Usually they say what it is and then people scramble to get it right away. But, if they did not say anything, not sure about the 221g.

We were emailed to come pick up the visa the following morning. I read that sometimes 221g means they got some administrative work to do on their end. It could be something as little as having to run something by a supervisor before official approval.

Hello,

 

Can anyone tell me what the process is like when going through customs at the airport with a K-1 Visa? Is there another interview with the customs agent? If I am with my fiance, could she go in the line with me for U.S. citizens? 

 

Thank you.

 

Here's some more info for you. Port of Entry reviews have a lot of people saying they went into the citizen line together (in atlanta atleast). I'm planning to do the same

Yes, I went through the US Citizen line and instructed the CBP officer that I am a US citizen and my fiance and her daughter are here on a K-1 visa. Everything went well.

What happens next? My fiance and her daughter are now in the US, and we had our marriage ceremony. I believe the next steps are to complete the I-130, I-485, and I-765. Is this correct? How much time do we have to complete these documents after we get married? I understand the fees come to around $4,780 (1 form for each person = 2 fees).

Go to the adjust of status part of this forum now. Your K1 visa journey is over. You have 90 days from your fiancee entry date into the US to mail in the documents. Did your fiancée have all their vaccines done? If not, you need to complete that. They should of been given a paper (I forget the name) where the embassy doctor checked off if they were vaccinated or not with all the required vaccines. If not, you need to find a civil surgeon to complete it. That's the most lengthy process that you don't want to wait until the last min to do
