Hello everyone! just wondering about how long is the entire process taking for k-1 visas at the moment? While I understand that everyones process is different and times will vary, Reason I’m curious is because we recently talked to 2 different lawyers and one says the current wait times in the Dallas area are around 8-10months, and would be faster to do k-1 visa route than marriage first and doing spouse visa because that route would take about 1.5-2 years. On the other hand, another lawyer told us that both processes are taking about 1.5-2yrs right now, with k— visa taking a bit longer. For reference, I am a U.S citizen and my fiancée is from Japan. We both currently live together in Canada on work visas but our work visas will expire in about a year. Thank you everyone

Thank you! Yeah, after a bit more research I found out that I can file for the visa here in Canada

Thank you! Since our visa work visas are good till next December seems we should get the ball rolling on filling for the k-1 visa. Appreciate the reference and link, it was helpful

Thank you! I tried searching on the government website but all it says is “to wait for the appointment in the country that you live in”. Would you have a reference or link that I could look into?

Hello everyone, I am a US citizen living in Canada with my Japanese partner. We are both here on Temporary work visas but plan to leave in a year or so. Could I file for a K-1 visa for my partner in Canada? Or would she have to wait in Japan for the Visa?
