Fiance(e) K-1 Visa Flowchart 2019

Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to figure out.

There was one time, I found myself asking, “am I supposed to be getting a letter in the mail right now?”

Funny enough, this came at a time when I was so knee deep in research of the fiance visa process that I could’ve wrote a book on it.

Yet, I didn’t know something so simple.

So, clearly things can get confusing to keep track. But instead of guessing what the next steps are, follow something that makes it simple.
