My fiance and I have been going back and forth between wanting to get married and apply for a cr-1 and just go back and get married in the US on a k-1. We even went as far as applying for a marriage license, however due to a few family problems back home I would like to get back sooner rather than later. I was just wondering if having applied for a marriage license would affect our k-1? We never actually went through with getting married.

GO STEELERS! :)

Just getting a marriage license won't matter. They will expire, usually in 30-60 days. Without having a legal marriage that is registered with the courts, it won't have any impact on your K-1.

Since you don't need marriage license for the K-1 process, I don't see the fact of having it. It could potentially affects the k-1 process, because K-1 is for fiancé(e) not for married couples. Why you want to take the risk? Take out marriage from the K-1 process. And I don't think the City council will give you the license without you get married.

we WERE going to get married, we applied for a license but never actually were married, all we have is a paper that we would take for the JOP to sign, but it is still unsigned.

so do you think i would need to wait until it expires to send in my 129f packet?

If that is the case, I think it will not have any effect on the K-1.

No, no need to wait. You just need to be free to marry, and you are. They won't care about you thinking about it, or almost getting married. You just need to not be married, and have met in person in the last 2 years. You are good to go. Good luck!
