Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

[JaEnglishGirl 34]

This is a CONSUL BTW

User Asked: Philip - Does the marriage have to be held in the United States after approval? Can the petitioner come to the Philippines to get married and will that marriage be valid in the U.S. and satisfy the K-1 question of marriage? Or will there still have to be another marriage once they come into the United States?

CONSUL: Philip

If you have been issued a K-1 visa DO NOT get married before leaving for the U.S. You must get married within 90 days of arriving in the U.S. but if you marry before you leave then you are entering the U.S. as a spouse of an American Citizen. You have been issued a visa stating that you are a fiancée of an American Citizen. If you are the spouse, then you are entering the U.S. illegally

I think i am going to print all of the K1 paperwork, so i can look it over and take it with me to JA, in october, i will take two copies and make a note of the stuff that D, needs to be gathering so that when we prepare to file in January, we will be organized. D, is trying to prepare to pay the school fees( this boggles my mind) for his children and i know mine are going to need to have stuff, so after Christmas is over with and school is under way, we should be ready to roll.. ( I hope)

Hey Honey;

Sorry for being fase...but will "D" kids come with him? If they will, please make sure they're paperwork is also in order. One of my husband's friend is stuck right now, because he hasn't gotten the birth certificates or passports back yet and it's been 8 weeks. I told him to take care of this about 6 months ago, but he wasn't sure if the kids mother was going to let them travel. She decided to let them go 3 months before the interview date and by the time she told him he only had 2 months or so to get things in order.

4.11)...My alien fiancee has been issued a K-1 visa. Can we get married abroad and then come back together to the US with the K-1?

A...No. The alien must NOT be married when s/he enters the US on a K-1 visa. Also, if using the K-1, the couple must marry in the US within 90 days of the alien entering on the K-1.

(FAQ Note: Some couples arrange to have a non legal ceremony prior to the fiance(e) leaving their home country, in order to satisfy the wishes of family, or to have a celebration if the family is unable to travel to the US for a wedding.

Jawi, no disrespect to my african sistren, but i let them take my braids out one time !!!! never again in life, do u hear me... true enough she got all my braids out in about 1 hours time, but she was a-combing and a pulling, i was worried she was thinning my hair out, but i couldnt tell since it was so nappy, i then went to my beautician to get my hair done and i swear to god it looked like i had a bad case of MALE PATTERN BALDNESS! she had snatched all my little hair out my head, so now i just set aside 4- days and take them down bit by bit and camouflage my styles with hats until it is all out

Hey Ladies, that is kind of what i am planning, we will get married officially in the states in front of a JP, but im kind of planning a commitment type ceremony, where his family can be present and a few of my friends and family. I can do it on the beach, and still feel like i had something special.

Honey you seem like you have so much planned out already. Why are you waiting so long to file the paperwork then? I keep thinking you are already waiting for an NOA2, but then I see you havent filed yet.

You can still get married in JA even when file a K1. Upon visa Approval, You can travel down to JA, have your wedding and then travel back to the US together. Many people do that. There is a girl on the Sub-Saharan forum who filed a K1 and is in Ghana right now preparing for her wedding in a few days. If you have anyone in JA that can help you with the planning, you can start collecting all the materials you need. It is very possible! I say go for your dream wedding

Please refrain from peddling mis-information.

YOU CANNOT marry BEFORE arriving in the States on a K1.

I would advise you to go and do some RESEARCH before ADVISING people. Do you have any idea how much your INCORRECT advice could set someone back????

A'rite...mi glad seh smadi else seet. My friend is sitting next to me and giving me an earful. She won't tell me details, but honey she say no dweet.

I understand that information given to others is very important here because people can very well get sent back as you have put it.

I am giving her information as I have been told by several people who have done just that. They have their ceremony in their SO's home country upon visa approval and when they both arrive in the US they do a civil service marriage. You can however have the ceremony in your SO's country first. Its semantics.... some people choose to do a civil service wedding in the US and then go back to their country for a ceremony (which you can call a party or or an engagement or whatever) or they do it the other way around.

I apologize if I was not clear in my other postings so I will be clear now: Yes you still have to be "officially" married here in the US.

I was not offering information with the intention to mislead anyone.

I also said

If you need a second opinion, you can post the question in a new thread in order to get other VJ member's opinions and experience.

It will only take a second of your time and people are really quick to respond.

Good luck! star_smile.gif

If you disagree with something that someone says, it is better to address the disagreement in a more diplomatic fashion. We are all here to help each other.

Sorry for the confusion for the rest of you...Trelawny, I did not see your other post...had I seen it b4 I would have went back and made myself more clear. Thank you for being respectful even though you did not agree with me.
