K1 Visa Truthfulness and Myths

There is so much information out on the internet about the immigration K1 Visa that it is hard to know what truth is or what is myth. What is the problem? First the information can either be out of date or just plain wrong. The second part is a company or law firm using different methods to get your K1 Visa submitted to the USCIS.

For instance there are many law firms that stick with the word of the instructions and law. The difficulty with sticking to the word of the USCIS instructionis it does not lend itself to providing a good portrayal of the couple. You have to give more than just what the instructions ask.

The main truth or myth - It takes a year or more to get a immigration K1 Visa. This is a myth. If done accurately you can easily get a immigration K1 Visa within four to six months. Depending on the country that the immigrant fiance(e) is coming from, the marriage visa could be completed even earlier. I had a case where the fiancé was coming from Argentina. It just took six weeks for the paperwork to get processed and K1 Visa granted to the immigrant fiance. It all depends on the country and amount of applications being processed for that country. If your fiance/Fiancee is coming from Russia, Europe or any former Soviet State, then you can expect the average time to be between four and six months.

The following truth or myth - It is not beneficial to apply for a K1 Visa between the months of January and April. This is a truth. You want to plan ahead and avoid applying during these months. The USCIS will be expecting the most current tax year information from you. A lot of times taxes are done in April or March. If you apply within these months, ensure you first do your taxes and submit them with your application. If you choose to submit your application without the most current year's tax filing, the USCIS will put your submission on hold while they wait for you to send in the most up to date tax year.

At this point let us say you do not submit your most current year's tax information. What happens? The USCIS will kindly send you a letter requesting verification of your current income through your 1040 filing. However since you did not send in a copy with your application, the USCIS can and most of the time requires a tax summary from the IRS. What does this mean? It means that you need to call the IRS and order a formal summary report. The summary takes about two weeks to reach you. All along your K1 Fiance/K1 Fiancee Visa application is sitting on hold waiting for the missing information. Now consider this, it takes two weeks to order the summary and then another two weeks for your application to get put back into a review status. In the best case scenario, you have added one month to your K1 Visa application process. In the worst case scenario your application gets put on someone's desk, gets misplaced or even denied because of the missing information. It is better to avoid these months than to risk the scenarios above.

The third fact or legend - If a U.S Embassy does not exist in the country of my fiance(e) I cannot get a immigration K1 Visa for her or him. This is not factual. In the case where a U.S Embassy does not exist in her or his country, the fiance(e) may opt to cross the border into a country that does contain a U.S Embassy. The method does take a little longer, but it is doable.

There is a lot of very appealing information out there and I commend those that take the K1 Visa process on themselves without the aid of an attorney. It can be a difficult process that does not leaned itself to romance or mistakes. Yet, when done right it can go smoothly and complete in generally a small amount of time.

Throughout the years I have responded to a lot of legends. Some of the legends were rather weird and others very close to the truth. But being close to the truth is never good enough for the USCIS; it is that "close to the truth "information that is just wrong enough to cause someone a lot of trouble if they followed what they were reading.
