Will this effect the visa?

[R&C 0]

If you have already started the fiancé visa process but end up getting married in the person you met's country will it effect the visa process? Will they cancel it and make you do a spousal one or will the let you go but remarry in the U.S.?

legally married is legally married. Can't do a K1 if you are married.

But I mean that what if you got married when you are already in the process of a fiancé visa.

Then you have to start over and do a spousal visa! K3 or CR-1.

yup, you have to stop and do k3 now, and cancel your k-1, k-1 is for fiancee/fiance

You will need to restart. Rescind the K1 application that is in the works, and start again. You will forfeit the $455 application fee too.

Is this a hypothetical question, or have you already done this?

Note that if you do attempt to proceed, the following circumstances are likely:

- If your case is still at USCIS or NVC when you decide to marry, then when it arrives at the embassy in your fiance (spouse!) country, s/he will be required to apply for the actual K1 visa. There are a number of forms to fill out including DS156K.

That form asks, in very explicit language, if the beneficiary is married. Regardless of who they are married to -- you (the petitioner) or anyone else -- this clearly voids the K1 application. If you fill out DS156K truthfully - your application dies. If you fill it out untruthfully (DO NOT DO THIS!!!!) you may ... MAY... get the visa.. but only by committing fraud and risking all sorts of grief down the line. DON'T DO THIS!!!

-If your case is already in front of the local embassy at the time that you marry, then you will have completed DS156K etc. truthfully. But at the interview stage, your fiance (spouse) will now be questioned. Again - same problem: tell the truth - your application is denied. Lie --- a heap of legal trouble awaits you down the road.

Bottom line. ... K1 is for fiance ONLY. You can get married ONLY after the visa is issued and the fiance enters the US.

Yes, because you no longer have a finacee, you have a wife. It iwll cancel the K-1 visa (by default, there are no longer any fiance(e)s involved) and you will have to start over with the K-3/CR-1 process which usually takes longer.

YES, exactly what I mean. You no longer have a fiancee! How can a "fiancee" go to the interview? Who is the fiance(e)?

Do you remember you had to prove you were eligible to marry to petition the visa? NOW you are NOT eligible to marry, you are married! If you try to go through with this, it is visa fraud and could be big trouble to both of you and lifetime bar to any visa for your wife. If you get married before your finacee receives the K1 and befoe she enters the USA, the K-1 is null and void and you start over in the longer K-3 process.

Congratulations
