Hi everyone I’m curious if anybody has any knowledge or information on K1, I applied for a K-1 16 months ago and I have not received a receipt number yet, I’m fearful that my application got thrown in the trashcan, or are they just really backed up even issuing numbers so I can track my application. Does anybody have any experience on applying for a K-1 any information would be very helpful. Very anxious

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on their 16-month wait for a receipt number for a K-1 visa application, expressing concern that their application may have been lost. Comments from others indicate that receipt numbers are typically issued much sooner, within days or a month, and suggest checking the application status immediately.

I received mine within 30 days. Nothing since. I would check on it asap if I were you. Why did you wait so long? I applied to Thailand from the US, or May have been less time. Told it could be 6-8 months until exam and interview for my fiancé in Thailand.

It should only take a short time. Less than a month. I got ours in 5 days.
