    At this point I would seriously consider not filing WoM because so many of us are getting through without it, much faster than in 2022. IMO it’s not necessarily correct to attribute getting through to WoM anymore.

    We were approved today. Final timeline: Interview: 9/13/2022 DS-5535: 9/14/2022 Request for passport: 3/30/2023 Approved: 5/30/2023 In total, 259 days from beginning to end. We consulted about filing WoM with PIC in February but opted not to, because our case started receiving updates about then.

  12. emergence
    Yes, we know that now. Unfortunately we can’t time travel back two years and get married instead. We opted for K-1 at the time because we believed the wait would be shorter, as it was before COVID. From this vantage point, it probably would have been more or less the same wait time and the CR-1 is superior in basically every other respect. We’re hoping to expedite EAD since my fiancés employer wants to continue to employ him in the US and will provide an offer letter to do so.

    On a somewhat tangential note, does anyone know of a good guide for what to do and how to time things once you enter the US on a K-1? I know, for example, that you have a specific period of time to get a SSN before getting your green card. We are really hoping to get my fiance able to work as soon as possible because my job situation is a bit dicey.

    Our interview was September 14th 2022 and we got DS-5535 the next day. We got the email to send the passport and new medical March 30th, but my fiancé was in the US until mid-April and couldn’t get a medical slot until the beginning of May, so he just got everything sent in today. Hoping everything will be quick!

    My fiance just had his new medical done (he was in the US for a while after we got the request for new medical and passport). We are hoping the consulate will process everything quickly!

    Super happy for you! Someone at the consulate must have picked up a stack of us September interviews.

    My fiance got an email yesterday requesting his passport and a new medical. We're shocked to say the least. He was issued a DS-5535 and a 221(g) for his medical back in September. We were sure it would take a year at least to get through the process. We consulted with PIC at the end up February but decided a wait a little longer while we sorted out what we want to do. Presuming nothing goes wrong, it seems like we have gotten through the process in approximately ~200 days without a WoM.

    My fiancé is currently here in the US visiting for a month. No issues at the border.

    Even the theory that people move to Canada to be close to the US is odd. My fiancé was born and raised in Canada. He’s never traveled anywhere outside the US or Canada. This seems to happen to a lot of people born and raised in Canada. It just doesn’t make sense. I got in touch with PIC law. It’s been nearly 150 days since our interview, and that is enough.

    There's no need to mail in your passport until the consulate requests it, typically right before your visa is issued. You can still travel as a tourist.
  27. emergence
    We are definitely considering this. The thing that really sucks about this option is that we would have to get married to do it, which would mean completely abandoning our K-1.
