Hi all my fiancé will be entering the US on a K1 visa from France. I was wondering if anyone has a similar timeline or could share how long the adjustment of status/ green card process took? We are looking to also file the travel and work permit while it is in process.
Any insight for total cost is also super helpful thank you!
Hi all! I am writing for any help/ advice.
My fiancé’s K1 visa interview is approaching at the end of May at the US embassy in Paris as he is a French citizen. We applied for the visa in May of 2025 so our timeline has been exactly a year!
We are wondering because in France, the birth certificate is one that gets updated, so there is no true “original” like how we have at birth in the US.
We have his latest birth certificate “Copie Intégrale” from the Paris town hall where he was born with his most recent addition to it (our PACS or civil pact we did in 2024 was added)
this original “Copie Intégrale” and translation from 2025 was approved and accepted on our original application sent to USCIS.
However, we don’t have clarity if he needs a birth certificate that is less than three months old (as it is a common practice and required for France at least)
We have made the request for a more recent copy but in case it does not arrive in time, do you believe the 2025 birth certificate and translation will be sufficient? the new request of the more recent birth certificate will have no changes but the date of issuing such “Copie Intégrale”.
We have tried calling the US embassy in Paris but get stuck with a recorded audio and have emailed as well with no response.
I appreciate any insight as we have done our case on our own without a lawyer and would be grateful to hear about any similar experiences or tips!
We of course can reschedule his interview if needed but we would like to avoid doing this.
Thanks!
