ORIGINAL POSTERDoes anyone know of any way to expedite a USA K1 Visa ....? An agent perhaps
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around expediting a USA K1 Visa application. While some users mention that hiring an agent can help with paperwork and guidance, it does not significantly affect the overall processing time, which typically ranges from 10 to 16 months. Users share personal experiences, indicating that while agents may assist, they do not speed up processing. Expedited processing requests are often denied unless there is compelling evidence for urgency. Alternative resources like websites for guidance are also suggested.

This is the lawyer we used to get my wife her K-1 visa. They only charged us $1000 US and did a damn fine job. They were responsive to emails and it was so nice having an actual attorney doing the paperwork as opposed to an agent that maybe is doing it correctly………and maybe not. Anyway hope this helps!

yeah we did as well. I have heard of attorneys charging as much as 3-5k or even more. This guy never once asked for more money, at least until my wife was here and he then assisted with the green card application. I think he charged us $450 for that. Good luck!Fred **************

that was fast! I started the K-1 process in March of 2021 and we finally got everything approved in February 2023. So about 22-23 months. It was during the height of Covid so that’s part of the reason. It all worked out as she’s here in The US with me and everything is good now. 😎🙏😎Fred **************

I went through the process 8 years ago and did it myself, and what I found is that an agent can help you with what paperwork to fill out, but basically it’s all you having to to all the footwork finding proof of relationship and submitting it all, so I didn’t think an agent or a lawyer were worth the cost, since it doesn’t speed up the process anyway. I used a website that was completely free and walks you through step by step. Good luck to you.

An agent might help with any questions or issues during the process. But no effect on the general processing time

There are very specific reasons you can apply for an expedited processing. 99% of applications for expedited processing are denied. Unless you have a lot of proof of the need for it, you have to wait in line like everyone else. An agent can't do anything about it.

It would definitely have to be a very good reason for sure.

Surprisingly, there are very few english language resources for K1 in Thailand. Most of them are Thai for the Thai applicant.Reply to
