Our insights are primarily from first-hand personal experience making the journey from K1 Visa to Green Card.

We supplemented our knowledge with primary research, that is, interviews with dozens of Asian women living in the US and in their home countries. The large majority were ethnically Chinese living in the US, China and Singapore, followed in smaller numbers by Filipina, Japanese, Korean and Thai.

We present a good number of Case Examples, all shortened stories from our personal interviews.

We also examined USCIS information and dozens of websites and videos posted on social media from immigration advisors. Reports have indicated that USCIS is in the process of ongoing reforms in policies, procedures, staffing assignments, and how the work is prioritized and conducted. You should consult with official sources or an immigration attorney for any ongoing changes.

Apart from our observations on Asian culture and customs, our tips apply to any nationality,

We only claim that our observations and suggestions apply fully to the K1 fiancée visa. However, there are common elements to obtain the Adjustment of Status (Green Card) with other types of visas other than K1.
