We are Larry and Terry – American US Sponsor and Chinese fiancée/wife – a couple who recently completed the K1 Visa–to–Green Card process. We are sharing tips about what we have learned. You will not, to our knowledge, find such comprehensive and easily accessible written content elsewhere. Our step-by-step guide will help you in your K1 Visa journey and beyond. We believe we have created a low-cost, high-value information set to guide you in your K1 Visa application and process, so you can meet all requirements and succeed in USCIS interviews. Finding a quality partner, developing a Long Distance Relationship and bringing her or him to the US
for marriage requires understating the process, organization and an ability to execute a step-by-step approach. K1 Visa Tips offers practical insights and tips to guide you and help you succeed in your K1 Visa application, process and Green Card approval. We had a great immigration attorney working for us, and he was indeed very calm and reassuring throughout the lengthy process. However, there are many things we had to improvise. We learned by doing and, although our research was fruitful, it didn’t provide most of the answers, especially for the nuances and details nor for what WE should be doing during the “gaps” between the stages of the process. For example, we always knew there would be a long wait after filing the 129 F Petition for the foreign fiancée. But in our research we found only scant comments on what WE should be doing to get ready before the foreign fiancée got notified to attend the Consulate Interview. This fiancée visa guide provides several free Introductory Materials, including a comprehensive Glossary of over 250 terms you may encounter in your K1 Visa and Green card applications, many of which are not included in the official USCIS Glossary at https://www.uscis.gov/tools/glossary Registered Users can see the titles of all the articles on K1 Visa Tips that are available free of charge.
The User can also see a 3-6 line summary of what each paid article contains, and a “preview,” or portion of the article. We believe there is value in all of our 26 paid articles, encompassing over 130 pages in total, due to their relevance and usefulness, whether they be 1 or 10+ pages long each. We make our experience and insights available in an organized way to help all 129 F petitioners of K1 Visas and Green Card applicants. In particular, we provide you with Checklists we wish we’d had before we got started and Case Examples of real-life situations encountered by immigrants. Our tips and suggestions are applicable to all foreign fiancées, though we focus on Asian fiancées in a couple of our articles.
