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 the US Embassy in Manila for the
in-person interview and approval of the Fiance visa.
Then your Fiancee uses the visa to travel to and enter 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 w2 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, a positive result comes out.
The petition package is mailed to USCIS.
Fiance 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 to complete their review.
Normally, USCIS should complete their review in under 5 months, but recently however, under Covid they have been taking around twice as long.
Hopefully this will improve. Recently I just had two cases emerge from USCIS in a super fast, three few months. I don’t know if that is a trend for 2022 (I hope so) or an anomaly. It’s too soon to really tell.
If I get good news later, I will post a short "In a minute" video to update processing times. For the time being expect it to be slow.
Slow or fast, US immigration is like a one lane highway. The sooner you enter
and get in line the sooner you exit, and the cases that enter after you, will only get to
Their destination after you do. So the sooner you apply, the sooner this will be behind you.
The review at USCIS includes an FBI background check. This is usually only on the US Citizen’s background, however it will also include your Filipino fiance if she or he had ever lived in the USA for a while.
When USCIS is satisfied with your application, they "approve", at least as far as they are concerned, then hand your case over to the NVC, based in New Hampshire.
Normally NVC holds Fiancee visa applications only briefly. They quickly touch the application just enough to confirm that the Case should be sent to Manila, assign a new case number that starts with “MNL”, pack it into a DHL mailbag and ship it off to the Philippines.
At least that is the way it normally works. The Philippines shut down and shut down hard back in March 2020. Since then the shut downs and quarantines have continued, and most businesses and services were closed for extended periods, some still have not reopened, some only partially reopened.
The US Embassy in Manila followed the local quarantines as well. And while closed, or only partially opened, cases kept piling up.
Today there are about a year’s worth of cases, which were approved at USCIS, assigned to Manila for processing, and are still waiting for their interviews.
These cases are mostly still at NVC waiting for the US Embassy in Manila to say they are ready to interview more cases. When that happens, months worth of the oldest cases are doled out and sent to Manila for processing.
The good news, is that since you are now allowed to travel to the Philippines as a tourist, this is
what the consulate was waiting for. If quarantines are relaxed enough that ....

I feel enlightened to this video. I was always having a crushes to American man such as singers and actors since puberty starts. I don't know why like I am much more attracted with them than most of my known male friends here. I was pursuing Student Visa because, i always want to see the beauty of USA and of course a huge advancement in applying jobs here. Who knows maybe America is the country that kept calling my soul all this time.
Great job at the breakdown sir! I really appreciate it. Probably the best one yet on youtube
Thank you . We put a lot of time into it. Glad you like it.
Thank you Sir Wahl for keep updating us....this is very informative and helpful👍.
You are most welcome !!
I really help in your explanation of the process. Thank you
You are welcome!
Hi Mr. Wahl! You’re the first video I see that has explained everything beautiful! You definitely deserve my subscription! I have a question, when we pay you the $995, does it cover all the way to the end when my fiancé finally becomes a US citizen (meaning this can take a couple of years like explained). Thank you for what you do for couples who just want to be together. I will definitely keep you in mind when I’m ready to bring my fiancé to the USA ❤️
The fee of $995 I charge for Fiance Visa Full Support, is through to issuance of the visa. The next steps of Adjustment of Status, Removal of Conditions and finally Naturalization are not included in the Fiance Visa fee, but when you hire me for the additional steps charged additionally. Because AOS usually occurs immediately after the fiance visa, I offer a $200 discount for couples that wish to prepay for both Fiance Visa and AOS at the same time. This is my Economy Combo @ $1,790. My full price list is shown at www.visacoach.com/fees/
Thank you for this update sir, really appreciate it
Welcome !!
This video needs to be updated..2023 things are being updated and easier..
Sorry, but I don't know what you are talking about. Nothing has changed to make things "easier". The process is still complicated and needs to be done right. The only things I see to change, is to announce that USCIS is currently taking 15 months to do their part, not the 5 months a year ago, and the US embassy Manila has stated that they no longer have a covid related backlog. Other than those two facts, I wouldn't change a thing.
@@Visacoach what about the March 2023 I believe.. Update coming up that U.S and the Philippines no longer need a visa to visit
Philippines opened for tourism Feb 2022. This was clearly stated in the video. With all due respect before you criticize someones work, get your facts straight first.
Good Day, Mr. Wahl! I would like to know if you can also help case filers with updating their case but did not use of your services? Than you and stay safe!
I do offer some services for those with ongoing cases. Send your request to info@visacoach.com and request "Menu of services for ongoing cases" and at that time advice what type of case you need help with.
Thank you for sharing sir,
Welcome !!
Very helpful info video.
Glad it was helpful!
Done subscribed sir

I love your vedio sir..
Thanks !!
Mr.Wahl, we are planning on using your service. I am going to see me Fiancée in August when should schedule an appointment with you?
If you plan to submit your application soon upon return to the USA, we should start working together in June or July at the latest. That way we can get the logistics out of the way and arm you with detailed instructions and checklists to take on your trip to insure that you do what is needed, document it properly and bring back all that is useful to your case so we could submit your application without additional delay right after your return.
:) Thank you for that info Sir
Welcome !!
I like how thorough you are in this
Thank you.
Do you have a list of things that would be helpful during the courtship which would make the application better? Examples that come to mind: spending time in the Philippines, going to other countries together on vacation, getting residency in the Philippines, getting married in the Philippines first, etc.?
I do have advice on how to make the courtship, and resultant application better. That type advice is provided during the course of working personally with my clients.
good day sir my fiance filed a fiance visa last november 2021 and NOA 1 email last december 2021 til now we dont have heared anyting from uscis or nvc how long it take its almost a year allready thankyou
Best is you reach out to the consultant or attorney working on your case and knowledgeable on your situation for his/her advice.
You sound like the exact person I need to hire for my Filipino fiancé. Can you give me a ball park on your prices?

Hello sir thanks for information one question I'm citizen of Nepal I would like to visit USA on vacation one two weeks so how we can apply and what documents need we're husband wife please give some idea .
Vacation visas is not my area. However you may find some general info I have provided at

Hello Mr. Wahl, can we still send a Fiance Visa application form even if I haven’t met my bf yet in person?
Or can we start filing the petition (step 1) even if we have not met yet?
You can start gathering evidence, you can start working on your application, you can do the preparation, including hiring my services, all in advance of your meeting. Then AFTER the meeting takes place you can SUBMIT the application.
Good day! Hello Mr. Wahl I would like to asked if I can apply for a fiance visa even I've been married here in the Philippines? My bf is coming this year,can we apply after he being here once?. thank you for your videos it's really helpful 🙏❤️
If you were married, but no longer married you can apply. If you ARE married you can not.
I am married June 2018,after few months my husband abandoned me and I never heard from him after he back to UK. it's been 4 years I don't know where he is. I can still apply?
Contact a family law attorney to begin your annulment proceedings. ONLY after you are unmarried, can you apply for US immigration as a single woman. Abandoned does not mean single only means you are currently married to a bad person.
To what purpose? To try to game US immigration? To stay in USA? A tourist visa is
for sightseeing. What she wants is to remain permanently in the USA, lawfully with her American partner. They way to do that is via annulment, then fiancee or spouse visa.
@@Visacoach If I can apply for a tourist visa then I will while the annulment is being processed we can wait though. Thank you for your response 🙏❤️
My girlfriend and I are planning to file a K-1 visa and get married here in the US. We have a son that was born just few months ago and now a US Citizen through me (CRBA) but still residing with his mother.
Is K-1 the best, fastest option for my girlfriend? If not, what would be the other form or document to use/file? Thank you!
Historically the fiance visa is about 6 months faster than the spouse visa. Currently, USCIS has been extra slow in processing K1's, so the speed advantage is gone. Currently, both fiance and spouse visas are taking about a year and a half.
please do this same video, but for the country of:
Indonesia
Me and my fiancé (she is Indonesian) are trying to do the K1 fiancé Visa. Soo many steps. Confusing
Thanks for your suggestion. To solve the issue of confusion hire an expert like VisaCoach to help you.
Good day sir, is there any coming updates on USCIS processing times to get better on k1 visa approval notice I’ve been waiting for 7months my case is in California service center and my fiancé is in Honduras 🇭🇳 Central America please any news would be great thank you 🙏
I published the following a few weeks ago www.visacoach.com/k1-visa-timeline/ that is as up to date as I can make it.
Which is faster or easier to bring my Filipina to America to live with me, K1 or CR1?
Both paths are equally complicated. And while normally a K1 is about 6 months faster, due to current slow downs at USCIS specifically on K1 cases, now both are experiencing the same average processing times submission to visa of around a year and a half
Hello Sir,
I would like to avail the application for a K1 Fiancee' Visa.
My Fiancee' is a resident and working in Kansas. We engaged sometime in the year 2020 and started our Digital T-shirt Printing & Cawash Business here in the Philippines particularly in the Island of Misamis Oriental, Mindanao Philippines. Due to pandemic in 2020, recently my fiancee' has just gone for a vacation in July 2023 and had our picture taking in Valencia, Bukidnon & return to Kansas last August 10, 2023.
Ask your Am fiancee to reach out to me at info@visacoach.com to get started
I just got back from the Philippines. I spent Christmas with her and her family. I proposed Christmas at the diner table in front of her family. I have never done this before and think I'm going to need some help. How much is your fee?
If you have no criminal record and are applying for a K1 fiance visa my fee is $995. For details on Fiance visas send your request to info@visacoach.com and ask for Fiance Visa 101
@Visacoach what kinda criminal records like major felony charges? Or?
Hello sir, I would like to know how about for Filipino living in different countries what we have to do? I am currently working in Japan and my boyfriend is in the US. And how about for people who have no vaccines due to religious reasons can’t that be reconsider in medicals?
Best is you ask your US fiance to hire VisaCoach to help and he can ask all the questions you may have about your case, and I will take the time to clearly answer and explain each and every one.
Hi sir I'm just do you agency here Philippines that I need to inquired how to process fiance visa
If you would like information on what we do and how please send your request to info@visacoach.com and ask for "Fiance Visa 101"
Good morning Mr. Whal, just wondering. In my I-797 notice of action letter they misspelled my fiancée middle name. Would it matter if it gets corrected or not? I submitted a typographical error form to USCIS and they replied back saying since it’s been approved it is on NVC. I’m just curious if like stated before if it matters if corrected or not. Thank you and have a good day
Do reach out to the consultant or attorney working with you or the National Visa Center or the consulate for answer to this case specific question.
Is possible to get my fiance approved without me visiting her? My mother has actually met her over there while visiting for a funeral. But i have not. I can but it's a financial issue missing work and I'd rather save up money for her move. Thanks ahead of time
for information on a waiver to the in person meeting visit
www.visacoach.com/waiver-k1-fiancee-visa-in-person-meeting/ Typical reasons that are accepted are inability to travel due to medical issues, and religious and cultural prohibitions to meeting prior to marriage
Thank you for your quick reply sir
Welcome
Please overlook my weird username. I have commented on these videos before but it has been a while. I have a friend who is currently involved in the k1 visa process so I am attempting to get some information for him if possible. To be brief, his Filipina fiancee had her k1 visa interview back in April 7th earlier this year. She did pass the interview but they requested that she get an updated nbi and police clearance. She did get both items and then turned them in with her passport. Again this was back in early April. He has been checking the status of her visa and like many others, it currently is saying refused on the ceac website but he knows what that means. He was under the impression that she would be issued her visa within 3 weeks at the most but that isn't the case. It has been a month now. Once again I am trying to find some answers for him because he deserves happiness along with his fiancée. But I am trying to find out what is taking the consulate so long to process this stuff. Are they really that far behind or what? I am wondering if anyone else is going through this or already has experienced this issue but now have their visa. I really want to help him but I don't know what to do or why it takes so long to issue a visa. I hope someone can let me know what is going on so I can relay any information to my friend.
When applicants arrive at the consulate missing documents, their cases are put on administrative processing. Circling back later to complete such a case is a low priority for the consulate. It gets done eventually. Best way to speed things up is to be properly prepared or have proper guidance at the get go so that such rooky mistakes and the delays they cause are avoided.
What if we have a child together and he has his us citizenship
Congratulations !!. No visa is needed for the child, just his US passport. The mother though, needs a visa.
Hello Sir, can i ask something in regards to k1 visa? If my boyfriend will file a k1 visa to USCIS, Whqt qre the documents needed for him to bring? Thank you🙏
When I work with my clients, I first "get to know them", then with that information I prepare for the couple a personalized checklist of exactly what I recommend to be part of their successful application.
Good day sir! can I possibly know or have an idea how much it will cost to hire you? thanks!
My fee for K1 fiance visa full support, start to finish, is currently $995.
Sir, after she and marry in the US and I submit the adjustment of status paperwork to get her greencard issued, what allows her to stay in the US between when the K-1 expires and until the greencard is approved?
The "pending" application allows her to officially remain in the USA until the case is decided.
pls advise-do my fiancee need to come home in the Phils before filing my K1 visa? we've been together for almost 19 yrs.we last saw each other last April 2019.
In order to be eligible to apply you and your fiance need to meet in person and then submit your application before another 2 years pass.
Hello
Me and my Filipina girlfriend are trying to decide which visa to choose.
I am hearing that the K1 and C1 have same waiting time.
If not then how quickly can she leave off of K1
Thank you
Currently we expect from Philippines new K1 cases to take about 18 months, spouse visa cases about 22
Does the spouse visa application also need a background check the spouse has lived in the past 2 years?
Fiance or Spouse background checks are conducted on the sponsor, and police clearances required by the beneficiary.
Hellp, how much do you charge sir?
Very helpful video 🙏
For Fiance visa $995
Hi Sir my fiance already applied for k1 visa 3 months ago, my problem is I've work in Dubair for 5 yrs way back 2008, I can't get a police clearance because I ran away from my sponsor, is there a chance for my visa to be approve if I can't get a police clearance
Best is you bring your case specific question to the consultant or attorney who is working with you for his/her advice based on his/her detailed knowledge of your situation.
If my girlfriend was here in the ISA in 2019 on a Fiancé , and went back to Philippines, can she get another one again??
While there is an official limit of allowing a US citizen to apply for a fiance visa no more than twice in a lifetime. There is no limitation on how many times a foreign beneficiary can have US citizens apply for them.
@@Visacoach Thank you very much.
Welcome !!
Hi I currently am engaged to a wonderful girl in the Philippines. I want her here with me. Would it help my process if I married her over there first?
Both applying for a fiance visa to bring your fiance to the USA to marry after arrival, or marry first then apply for a visa for your spouse are options available to you. Primarily which path you take is a personal decision. For general info on choosing between the two paths visit www.visacoach.com/fiance-vs-spouse-which-is-better/
Thank you sir for your quick reply
Welcome
You have to have met this person in real life before you can do the k one visa correct?
Best practice is to know your partner in person. Required is to prove an in-person meeting has occured within 2 years prior to applying. However, in some circumstances a waiver to the in-person requirement is possible. See www.visacoach.com/waiver-k1-fiancee-visa-in-person-meeting/
What happens if the filipina currently lives and works in Dubai? Thanks!
A foreign applicant can choose to be interviewed by the consulate that serves her country of birth, country of citizenship or country of lawful residence. So as a lawful resident of Arab Emirates she could choose to have her interview and get her visa from the US Consulate in Abu Dhabi.
What if our spouse has children? My fiancé has 3 children. How do they factor in?
You said "spouse" and "fiance". It's one or the other. If applying for fiance visa the children under 21 years old can be included with the fiance visa. If applying for spouse visa, the children who were under 18 on the day of the wedding can be applied for separately as stepchildren of the USA spouse.
Can I sponsor my fiancé if I have a criminal background?
Depends on the offences.
hello sir, have a good day im here to ask how long i can wait to approve our USCIS and or apply for Fiance Visa in US embassy here in the Philippines? thanks and hope you can reply my message..
Currently expect a brand new K1 case for the Philippines to take around 18 months
@@Visacoach thanks have a nice day and happy weekend...
Hi Sir,
Good day! Just a quick query regard on our case. We're planning to apply a visa for me to get in USA. My spouse and I got married online last January this year and we haven't processed the ROM yet or any other documents. We met once last February, are we still qualified for a K1 Visa or we should apply for the CR1 Visa instead? Is it required to process the ROM first before applying for CR1? We're stuck in a limbo on what to do next and we'll really appreciate your help.
Thank you!
As you are married your are ONLY eligible to apply for spouse visa. Your spouse needs to meet with you in-person before submitting your application. The ROM is not needed with your original application.
@@Visacoach I see, thank you sir!
Welcome !!!
Sir I want to ask do we have to met in person for the last two years 🙏
Yes
Can I bring my child to us for k1 visa ?
The American sponsor can apply for both his/her fiancee and fiancee's child. The parent gets a K1 visa. The child a k2 visa.
Is dual citizenship a option, and is that possible
USA allows dual citizenship
Is k3 marriage visa more easy for approval?
The review process, and the skepticism on all "romance" type visas (K1, CR1, IR1, K3) are equally difficult (or easy) for approval
I am unvaccinated so I still can't go to the Philippines to meet her. I can go to Thailand and fly her there. Will that work?
Meeting in third country meets the in-person eligibility requirement. Meeting in your partners country, and meeting her/his family friends at the same time also meets the in-person requirement, while at the same time adding evidence of the bona fides of your relationship.
I met her in the Philippines after they lifted the restrictions. Now I need to hire help
Great !! Next step is to book a time to speak with me so I can answer your and your fiancee's questions, get to know each other, and get started. To book a time go to www.visacoach.com/schedule/
@@Visacoach bad news. Turns out that she can't get her passport 😭
Interesting. Did she just get out of prison? Does she owe child support? To be able to join you in the USA she will need a passport. The process to apply for a fiance visa is taking about 18 months. She only needs to have a valid passport on the day of the interview. So unless on probation, etc, she has plenty of time to apply for and receive a passport.
And Lebanese fiancé
I can’t talk with you
If you can't talk with me, tell your American partner your questions, and ask him or her to reach out to me.
