Approved!

Post Decision Activity 
On June 18, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

Anthony skickade just detta meddelande till mig. Vår fiancé visumansökan är godkänd! Detta innebär att jag kommer att bli kallad till visumintervju snart! Spännande! Om man kollar på checklistan har vi alltså bara klarat första punkten på första steget. Det tog från november 2012-juni 2013, eftersom A inte fyllde i ansökan korrekt och vi var tvungna att komplettera. Dessutom tar det tydligen längre tid för Kalifornien.

The First Step: Filing the Petition

• You, the U.S. citizen sponsor, must file Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), with the USCIS office that serves the area where you live. 
• After USCIS approves the petition, it is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing, and NVC will send it to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where your fiancé(e) will apply for a K-1 nonimmigrant visa.

The Second Step: Applying for a Visa

• Once the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you, the foreign-citizen fiancé(e), will apply receives the petition from NVC, it will provide you with specific instructions, including where to go for the required medical examination. During your interview, ink-free, digital fingerprint scans will be taken. Some visa applications require further administrative processing, which takes additional time after the visa applicant’s interview by a Consular Officer.

Jaja, ett steg är avklarat i alla fall, yay! Ni kan läsa mer om denna galna visumprocess här.
