  1. Better is a relative term. There are positives and negatives to either visa you just need to figure out your priorities and decise. My wife came as a k1 and we do not have any regrets as her ability to immediately work or travel was not a priority.
  2. You need to lay out a timeline of both and figure out which one will finish quicker then. Spousal petitions are about 2 months faster to clear the USCIS. Do you have sufficient information to file the the I129f today? How soon can you get over the the PI to get married. You need to figure this out and put this on the front end of the timeline.
  3. Are you only interested in the time to visa or the time to greencard (all other differences ignored)? If you are eligible to file the I129f today, then theoretically speed to visa is the k1 because besides the immigration process you must also include the time it takes to get married (marriage process will undoubtedly add a few to several months). If speed to greencard is what you need then the IR/CR visa wins hands down.
  4. Have you looked at the USCIS case processing times?
  5. Correct it by properly filling out the DS 160 accurately
  6. Congressman can inquire regarding your case but they cannot request an expedite. You must request the expedite yourself first through the USCIS
  7. You only need to bring the new ones but no harm bringing both.
  8. UK regional forum would be best place to visit for any questions regarding London.

    Visa approved!

    K1 timelines and procedures are not comparable to IR/CR visas
  10. Time to reread. Last paragraph of the OPs initial post. "We have not submitted...."
  11. Try asking this question in the Russia, Ukraine and Belarus regional forum
  12. 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Typically within a couple of weeks depending on work load
  13. The sealed package is all they need. The CD is for your personal records.
  14. Yes, it all depends on how many are in the queue ahead of you
  15. For the I129f you need only provide evidence of one meeting within the previous two years. Information regarding other time spent together can be provided at the time of the interview.
  16. I wouldn't. Even a reliable Consulate such as Manila can't be trusted. They delayed my wife's visa by more than two months which was past our original planned departure date.
  17. Are you using the most recent version of the form? Edition dated 1/4/23?
  18. Visa validity is based on the medical, nothing to do with the marriage date.
  19. As others have said that there is no harm to try, i would however caution you to not set your sights very high for a positive outcome
  20. My wife showed 30 minutes before scheduled interview time. She was finished within 2 to 3 hours
