Hi, I’m wondering if I’ll be able to set up a bank account to get a financial history started? I am a UK citizen current in the early stages of the K1 visa process, as in as have just received our NOA1. I am planning on calling into the bank to ask this question on my next visit to the US next month. However I wondered if anyone has experience of this. My fiancé and I will be looking to buy a home in the US together in the next couple of years and I know banks here in the UK like to see some financial history ( which I have here already). I was just wondering if anyone has experience of opening an account in the US using a care of address of their partner. I’d like to start a financial footprint and also I’m not keen on the currency conversion and constantly having to consider the exchange rate. Any help or advice is much appreciated Thank you 😊

Thank you everyone! Sorry in advance for more silly questions heading your way in the future 😬

Hi everyone, Sorry if this is a daft question but we haven’t had our NOA1 yet, but our cheque has been cashed? Do they just cash all cheques immediately? Which I’m guessing they might… Or ( holds breath) has our form been checked and our NOA1 is on the way? Just for info we posted our form on 27th Sept, the cheque was cashed on 3rd October. Thank you Lesley and Tom

Hello!! We are new to this and just posted our i129f form (27th September). Im looking for people in the same position or people who are slightly ahead to share experiences with. I have no idea what to expect apart from the website says that currently at Texas the form I 129f is taking 15 months to process. Does anyone know when we will hear something? All I know is the envelope made it to the drop box because we sent it recorded delivery. I guess now we wait ……………… and wait…..
