k1 visa waiting period?

There is no quota, so there is no backlog and no reason the process will be delayed except by processing time in the US, and queueing up in the workload of the US embassy.  How long it will actually take to be able to apply for the visa after the petition is approved depends on the embassy's workload and on how long it takes you to get your documents ready.

You can go to the embassy website to get the proper forms.  They also reply to e-mails, usually within 24 hours. Good luck.

It took me about a month from the time I applied through a visa service agency. Check out 'Benmar' based in London, they're on the web though you can fill in and print the forms online with the official American Embassy website if you want to save money. Once you are at the embassy expect a wait of between 2 to 5 hours. Depending on what visa you want its bit of a formality, the main thing is for them to fingerprint you so don't go for your interview with any scratches on your index fingers or you will be turned away.

Depends on where they live.  You can get current processing times online at https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp. \nThe time it takes to process is always changing.  But a K visa is always faster than the I-130 for getting to the U.S.  But once they are here, the permanent residence process can be slower for a K visa then for consular processing with an I-130.

if your priority date is already current and you already have an application receipt number then you can check it using this link.\n\nhttps://egov.immigration.gov/cris/caseStatusSearchDisplay.do;jsessionid=bjs-CMN1wRn9\n\nif your case is not yet current, just wait for the priority date to move... family-based petition is crawling!

I believe so.  I would call either the immagration office, or a lawyer that gives free advice.  They can tell you if there is any longer wait time, etc.

If you came here on a tourist visa (B1/B2) you need to apply for an Adjustment of Status.  If you came on a Visa Waiver Program (VWP) you need to depart the USA as soon as possible and go to the US Embassy of your country for a K visa.\n\nIf  you get caught without a valid visa you could be deported and barred from returning for 5 years regardless of the fact you are married to a US citizen!\n\nAnd many state drivers license offices notify the immigration service.  If you apply with an expired visa, they will call immigration and delay you to give immigration time to get there to apprehend you.\n\nIt depends a lot on where you live.  Does the state cooperate with immigration?  Are there Immgration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers stationed near you?

what visa type do you have? if your CR-1 then you get it 2 weeks you arrived . If your on K visas then you have to get your temporary visa for 2 yrs. and get one or you can even get citizenship in 3 yrs. that si ofcourse if your still married to the same person who petitioned you. but the processing is not that long...

I went through this, I’m from Lebanon from the date my husband (my fiancé back then) sent the paperwork till I got the visa it was 8 months. It depends on the state you applied in, some states handle a lot of immigration paperwork so it takes more time, like in TX but fortunately our paperwork went through a different state and we got off faster than expected.

I know that this not what you want to hear, but the fact that you have been waiting so long has nothing to do with muslıms or 9/11. These very long wait times have been around a long time before 9/11.\n\nThe law only allows 23,400 people a year to get their visa, every year more people apply then the number allows so even though you qualify you must wait in queue to get your visa number.\n\nHere's the link to the state department visa bulletin for April 2006. As you can see only people that applied before 15JUL 1996, are now getting their visa under your category, the backlog is very long, so 6 years that you waited is not long at all, 10 years is the average \n\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2847.html\n\nI do have , however, some very good news for you. If you filled your I-130 before  December 21, 2000, then you qualify for a V visa. The visa allows you to come in the US and work while waiting for your visa number. Here are the details about the visa:\n\nhttp://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/hdinonimm.htm\n\nGood luck and Please take the time to choose a best answer !

The only consulates in Canada that process K-1 visas are Vancouver & Montreal.  As you are in Toronto, you will have no choice but to go to Montreal for the interview, so start saving your pennies.  Since you've only just submitted your application, you have at least a 4-6month wait before you will receive an interview date.\n\nGood luck!

It may take up to a month for the NVC to receive your case from USCIS. \n\nHow long has it been since your USCIS petition was approved?

You may have no choice but to wait on this unless the Australian immigration dept. has an online site wheere you can make enquiry or see the status of applications. This is your tax dollars working for you....patience may be the only thing here. This is why alot of pple opt to use attroneys because they are familiar with the system and usually have "inside" contacts taht can brief them on status changes/updates......

yes, a fiance visa is much faster to process than a spouse visa. all you need is to prove that you two have an existing relationship and show a picture of you together. then, file the K-1 visa. it will only take 3 to 6 months as long as you submitted all the required documents. I know coz' i came here in US as a fiancee, too.

after you've waited your time 5 or 3 years depending on if you are married or not to a resident or citizen- the wait depends on how fast your processing center moves. My friend is in the process and my husband is getting ready to apply, but she's been waiting since October and has her interview next month - filed with Nebraska.

It depends, on several factors inlcuding which service center it filed, is there any RFE or any document missing etc.\nIn ideal case it geenrally takes 4-8+ weeks.\nIf you want any fater within 2 weeks) you can file under premium prossing with addtional 1000$ fee.\n\nthis will help :\nhttp://www.path2usa.com/immigration/h1bcorner/h1_7thyear_extension.htm

Until the visa number becomes available, you can not adjust your status. While the I-130 was filled by your husband, the I-485 should be filled by you (once the visa number is available). You get a letter when the visa number is available.\n\nIf you waited for 2 years then it sounds to me that USCIS screwed up somewhere, the visa number should've been available by now. There is no quota for spouses of US citizens so there is no waiting period (other then processing) for get your green card.\n\nYou need to call USCIS customer service 1 (800) 375-5283 and find out what's going on
