As a K1-Visa holder do I need to book 1 way ticket or round trip?
Travel / Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by Coquinoqui: 5:40pm On Nov 09, 2021
I had my interview today and was approved at the spot. Can't even express my joy, for like 30 mins after my interview I thought I was dreaming, after all my preparation the vo didn't even ask for any documents. It can only be God.....

I almost missed my appointment for 8:30 because I got there 8:25 because of traffic but na God pass them. After I pass security I was called inside to window 3 to submit my documents to a black lady - ds 160, birth certificate, police certificates (Senegal and Nigeria) passport style photo and W-2 forms(2020), petitioner divorced certificate, visa payment receipt, then the lady took my passport and told me to wait, after 30 the VO white guy in his 30s, called my name. This is how it went.

VO -
what is your name?
How did you meet?
When did you meet?
Has she visited?
When did she visit?
So you proposed to her when she visited?
Has she made a second trip?
Me: we actually planned a second visit last year but due to codvid it was not possible. (VO typing in the computer for about 2 mins)
VO-
How long have you been in Senegal?
What is your work?
Does she has kids?
Does the kids live with her?
Have you spoken to her kids?
(VO typing in the computer again for about 3 mins)
How do you communicate?
What is your fiance address?
Where are you going in the United States?

Then the magic words follow : come back next week to pick up your visa, he then gave me a ticket. Hurrayyyyyy. Through the interview the VO did not ask for any documents.

Tip: never cease to pray, be confident and maintain good eye contact.
Thanks to everyone here that has contributed immersely to this course for there comments and advices.
Quickly can k1 visa holders book a one way ticket or round trip?

How do you go about this, my fiance is filling the i-134 affidavit of support her annual income is way past the minimum requirement for poverty line. In question 4 of the form that says "balance of all my savings and checking accounts in the United States financial institutions ", but currently she don't have any savings because there're lot of expenses on her neck so my question is would it be a wrong move if she put $0?

Baba quick one we applied two months ago so we are currently awaiting approval.

We want my mum to attend the wedding as well can we start the visitors visa for her as well?

K1 visa currently takes 7-9 months, so if you start your mum visitor visa and you are yet to get approval on what basis would your mum be visiting the US? I suggest you until the visa is approved.

Good afternoon house,
I recently discovered this thread and it has been really been helpful.
I got an RFE yesterday, and the confusing part is we had sent most of the things they asked us to resend which includes
1) we sent 2 separate signed statements
2) evidence of ongoing communication
3) evidence of subsequent meetings (we initially sent them at least 30 pictures at different times)
4) evidence of engagement ceremony ( we included pictures of the proposal, sent receipts of the engagement ring)
5) evidence of family and friends being aware of the relationship ( we sent pictures that included times where both parents met at a dinner )
I honestly do not know what to do .

The recently added items we were asked to send are
1) evidence of wedding preparations ( which I have no clue how I’m going to go about it , because we haven’t been able to make plans since we do not know how long this whole process with last)
2)evidence of financial support

Please I need help on how to go about this . Thank you

OK, I received the same RFE
I will advised you based on how we responded to USCIS RFE and later got approved.
1. You and your fiancé should write a detailed letter of intent to marry (the letter should contain how met, and also include details about planned wedding)
2. Evidence of wedding preparatio for example my fiance sent me email details of our plan wedding with potential guests, colours for decoration, venue and kind of food we want to serve our guests, etc so we took a screenshot of the email and sent it to them.
3. Evidence of ongoing communication
4. Conresspondance discussing marriage : if you getting married to her then surely you guys must of talk about your wedding during chat, like where you holding the ceremony, honeymoon, infact anything that shows you and ur fiance have discussed the wedding plans, take a screenshot and send it.
Evidence of subsequent visits : my fiance only visited once in our letter of intent we made it clear we planned for a second visit but due to codvid it was no longer possible as there were travel restrictions. If your fiance visited more than once then you should provide more evidence.
5. Evidence of financial support : my fiance sent her recent pay stubs and most recent tax return( someone said evidence of financial support could also be receipt of money transfer but we didn't include such evidence)
6. Tell your family and friends that's if they are aware to write a statement that they're aware of the relationship and your intentions to marry your fiance(attach there ID card, passport)
7. Made it clear in the letter of intent to marry that you don't have any children together in the relationship and if you have discussed about having kids in the future also mention it.

When you sending your RFE file back to uscis make sure to make a content list, arrange the evidence in order as mentioned in the RFE letter. If you don’t have any evidence of what they ask make sure to mention it in the letter of intent to marry e.g subsequent visit and children born to the relationship.

You only have one shot at RFE so gather as much evidence as you can if there's anything that you might help your case don't hesitate to add it. Good luck

Pls guys I want to ask a question... My babe is visiting next month.... I want to ask that while she's here can she start filing before she goes back to the USA. Pls I'll need response abeg

Don't rush this thing my guy otherwise you'll make mistake, you should be consentrating on how to make her visit the most memorable time in her life, her time with you in Nigeria will determine the next phase of the relationship, don't make her think you're desperate take your time if everything goes well on her visit and with God on your side then she can start the filling process; whether she files when she visit or when she returns this should be the least of your worries at this point of your relationship.

Yes. It was ceac fault they're doing routine maintenance.

So I finally apply for the ds 160 NIV and print out the confirmation page. I called the embassy here in Senegal they said i should wait to receive a letter from the embassy with instructions to pay the fee and book appointment. Senegal processing is kinda different from the rest of the world cos I was wondering why Senegal is not in the list when you click Africa on ustraveldocs.com I found out on VisaJourney there is another designated website where us visa applicant uss to pay fees and book appointment. I just hope im not in for another marathon wait

mine is 12 years older... I’m 28 and she is 40... I hope this won’t be a red flag..

Age difference is always a red flag especially if its a younger man and older woman, that's why am asking those that have successfully gotten the K1-Visa even with huge age gaps to share there experience.

yes please, this means your case is on its way to US embassy in Lagos, you can track your case on https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ with your case number, you can also pay your visa fee of $265 after which you create an account and book your interview date on https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ kindly note that you may likely get a date for next year but ensure you select the next available date you see on the portal, all the best to you

I tried to login ceac they saying I should type in nvc invoice ID number which was not in the email they sent. How do i go about it?
