US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi all,

Hope you are well. I am travelling to the USA from Heathrow this Saturday and I was just wondering what peoples experiences were in terms of going through security with the K1 Visa Sealed Documents Package? Did they ask you any questions at all about it or did they not say anything and you just put it in the tray for it to be scanned through? Just wondering if I need to explain to them what it is at all (even though it says on the package)? Apologies this is something I have just thought of and stressing me slightly.

Hope you can help!

Hello there!

I arrived in the USA in mid June, got married and within a month or so we sent out documents for adjustment of status.

Meanwhile I also asked for permission to work and an SSN. Within a month I was called for the biometrics in Casper.

Back in September, the USCIS said in my own account history that a decision would be made in 5 months.

I checked again 2 weeks ago and now USCIS says 14 months before they decide.

I am kinda shocked as we were planning a holiday in the UK and now we cannot.

Is there a reason why suddenly the backlog has maybe increased? Is this because Trump was to send us all back home?

Also, do you happen to know what makes USCIS decide if they want an interview or not?

Ours is a clear, easy case, all documents are perfect, my husband has a job, no criminal issues etc. so why now 14 months?

Thanks!

Hi all

so sorry if this has been asked but I am from the UK and I m marrying an American in April and we are planning

the visa process so I can live in the US

Are there any links people can provide or information already on here to help me understand the process

basically when we get our marriage certificates literally what is the first step, a sort of guide for dummies I guess

sorry again if this is a repeat but anything could be amazing

thanks

Claire

I had my interview on the 20th of November and all was fine other than them requesting the original divorce paperwork for my wife, despite this not being listed on the checklist.

My wife posted them (for $70!) and I dropped them off at DX last Tuesday, I've contacted them today as the tracking number wasn't being recognised and they stated that the item is still where I left it and hasn't even been processed yet, this can apparently take 7 working days. Does anyone else have any experience with sending documents via DX? If so how long did it take for them to be delivered, and the how long was it for you to received your response/passport back from the Embassy?

Really hoping to be able to spend Christmas with my wife, but it's starting to look unlikely.
