Dual citizenship & passport stamps

[chris_in_nyc 0]

Hello all-

Newcomer here, though I've spent countless hours on this site in the past month sifting through the guides and others' K-1 application experiences. Truly informative site for a complex and nerve-wracking process.

I'm from the U.S. and met my sweetheart while living and working in Taiwan several years ago. I came back last year for graduate school, and now that I've found a new job (finally! What a tough couple of months), we've decided to take the plunge and start a new life together.

We are just about ready to send the I-129, but I stumbled upon a potential issue and wanted to see if anyone here has dealt with this. I searched several times but could not find any similar threads. Any advice?

Situation

She is a dual citizen of Taiwan/Canada. We are using her Taiwanese citizenship to apply, simply because she'll more likely be in Taiwan over the next couple of months when it's time for interview/medical/etc. Each time she has visited me in the U.S. (three times in the past 12 months), however, she has used her Canadian passport to enter the U.S. (Taiwan does not have a reciprocal visa waiver with the U.S.; it's difficult/expensive to get a tourist visa).

We were planning on including her passport stamps as part of our evidence of having met in the past two years, but I realized last night that the stamps are from her Canada passport, which we never mention in the I-129.

Question

Will this create a problem with our application? Might they question her use of the Canadian passport to visit the U.S. and Taiwanese passport for I-129/K-1? (I'm assuming I will have to be explicit about her dual citizenship on the application since we will be using stamps from her Canadian passport as evidence of our relationship.)

Lastly, will this affect her ability to visit me in the coming weeks (after the petition is filed)? I don't believe it will be a problem, but I'm still curious to hear your experiences.

Thanks!

In the I-129F I would make note of the dual citizenship, either in question 3b of the form or on the cover sheet. However, I'd also note that the interview will hopefully take place in Taiwan. It shouldn't cause a problem as I am positive your fiance is not the only dual citizen to apply. They can question her about anything they want to, as long as she is honest about why she uses the Canadian passport (obviously the absence of a formal visa, better reciprocal agreements between Canada and the US)

As for visiting you, my stock answer is - no guarentees. Duration of stay and admittance is up to the CBP upon entry.
