Will also explain what happens after your partner arrives.
After all, after going through so much effort, you don’t want her or him to

Now, let's talk about "How to bring your Fiance to the USA on a K1 Fiance Visa"
A brief summary of the process is as follows:
We prepare an application, it is submitted in the USA to the United States
citizenship and Immigration service (USCIS),
And then once USCIS has completed its review, the case goes to the US State
department’s National Visa Center (NVC) in New Hampshire.
And finally NVC couriers the case overseas to a US Embassy or Consulate near your partner for your partner’s inperson consular interview and issuance of the visa into your partner’s passport..
Then your partner travels to the USA, shows the visa at the border, and joins you here inside the USA.
Now let's get into the details:
First we submit a thick package of application forms and supporting documents and
evidence.
This is the "front loaded petition" that VisaCoach is famous for.
My philosophy, the VisaCoach philosophy, which we rigorously follow on every case,
team VisaCoach works on, is that success, final outcome, final approval,
depends 99% on the quality of your application that you and we together
prepare and submit to US immigration.
We take every opportunity, leave no stone unturned, in making your application
as complete and persuasive as possible.
The quality of the work we accomplish at the start, at the "front" of this process,
determines the ultimate outcome.
When quality goes in, we expect a positive result to come out.
The petition package is mailed to USCIS.
Fiancee Visa applications go to Dallas, Texas
After initial sorting then the applications are assigned and forwarded to one
of six USCIS service centers that are scattered throughout the USA.
At the destination USCIS service center your case is reviewed and processed.
USCIS takes many months, often over a year to complete their review. For current timing best is that you contact my offices as USCIS processing times are a moving target and recently have been changing on a monthly basis. Sorry, but recently they have been going slower.
Applying for your partner’s visa through US immigration is similar to traveling on a one lane highway. The cars that get on the road ahead of you must exit and get to their destination before you arrive at yours. And the cars behind you, must wait for you to get to yours before them. The only option you have is to enter and get in line as soon as you can. At VisaCoach we can’t help you pass the other vehicles, but what we do do is work to make sure that YOUR vehicle, your application is done properly, that it reliably makes the journey without breakdown and gets you to your destination as quickly as the immigration traffic will allow.
The sooner you get started, and the sooner you submit, PROVIDING your application is properly done, then the earlier you get your visa.
The review at USCIS includes an FBI background check. This is usually only on the
US Citizen’s background, however it is also conducted on your partner if she or he
had ever lived in the USA.
When USCIS is satisfied with your application, they "approve" it. But they are really just saying that the USCIS review is over. Now another branch of the US government gets involved and must also finally “approve” your case. USCIS hands your case over to the US Department of State, for their review and processing, to their service center in New Hampshire, called the National Visa Center, or NVC for short
NVC confirms which consulate is the one to process your case, and assigns a case number that starts with three letters that identify the consulate, such as CDJ for Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, MNL for Manila, Philippines, LGS for Lagos, Nigeria and so on.
