Hi Everyone,

Help! We applied for the K1 and received our NOA1 a couple of weeks ago. We just found out that we are going to have a baby yesterday. If we were to get married now, would it affect us getting the visa? Has anyone else been in this position? We are just so confused now, it's unreal!

Thank you for anything anyone might know!!

They are the best kind teehee!.

If you got married I believe your K1 visa would become invalid and you would have to cancel it (the K1 is a Fiance Visa) you would have to file for a K3 (spousel Visa) I would do some research on the K3 Visa there should be plenty information on this website about it also :) .

Since you only got your NOA1 a couple weeks ago, if you both have your hearts set on marriage You are only going to lose 3 weeks or so.

Hopefully someone can give you some more concrete advice, but I would say (and this is just personal opinion) if it were me I wouldnt get married, continue with the K1 Visa and get married after I arrived in the USA . I am just saying this because even though you would only be losing a couple of weeks you have already Paid for the K1 Visa, and you would be applying for another kind of Visa taking more time and more documents!.

Most importantly, Congratulations on the wee one !!!

A Scottish-American baby. I can't wait til Courtney and I have our own, hopefully in a few years time. Where are both you guys going in the US? I'm heading to a town called Montrose :jest: in Western Colorado. I move over 4000 miles and end up in a town with a Scottish name. too funny.

Congrats on the baby!

However, like Nicoxcx said getting married now will put you right back at square one. Your K1 would need to be cancelled and you would have to start all over with either a K3 or an IV - IV would probably be quickest and best, because you could work immediately on entry to the US.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
