K-1 processing
Have any Canadians applied for a K-1 to the Texas service center? If so:
I am more interested in hearing Canadians experience for the timelines, but anyone who knows about the process itself is welcome to share their knowledge.
Thanks in advance for your help!

- What does applying for a K-1 involve?
- How many steps are involved?
- How long does the whole process take?
- How long does each step take?
- What do I need to bring to the consulate interview?
- When did you apply?

Read through previous posts... ...and scroll down.

> * What does applying for a K-1 involve?
- It involves the US citizen filing a I-129F for his fiance(e) and other necessary
documents. (Check out http://www.txdirect.net/users/mike3-
8/k1faq.htm.
> * How many steps are involved?
Again, review the above links.
> * How long does the whole process take?
Approximately 4-6 months, depending on your case and the service center AND consulate
you are using.
> * How long does each step take?
In essence there are only four:
1) the US citizens petition for fiance visa (I only know about this, not about the
spousal visa)
2) the *foreigners* application for the *actual* visa (including police certificate,
medical, etc) and paperwork
3) the *foreigners* interview with their country's US consulate
4) entering the US with their approved visa
> * What do I need to bring to the consulate interview?
If you are the US citizen, you are not required to attend. If you are the
NON-citizen, you must bring all originals of the required documents sent in with the
inital petition and others...detailed in the links above.
> * When did you apply?
My fiance (USC) applied the beginning of June, 2002 at the TSC and we were approved
the end of July, 2002.

I am in Edmonton, AB, Canada, and my fiance is in Atlanta, GA, USA.)
