DoubleProxy Marriage

[arevir 0]

Hello im in the military current location Korea, and my fiance is from Peru and she have never leave her country.

I went to visit her on december 2008 and we know each other since 2006.

I saw on a news paper about a webpage for active duty military to be able to get marry by dobleproxy marriagebyproxy.com I was wondering if that is wothit for my case but they have a note saying

According to US Immigration Law a proxy marriage is considered valid if the marriage took place in a state where proxy marriages are legal and subsequently consummated.

After the proxy marriage is consummated you can then apply for a K-3 Spousal Visa which has a much higher priority than the K-1 Fiancé Visa and can greatly reduce the waiting time.

How you prove inmigration we where together just a picture of us after we receive the marriage certificate would be enough? do I have to send one picture inside the k-3 visa paperwork? so that way they know the marriage was consummated.

thanks for any help.

You have to prove you were at same place, same date and same time, a picture alone will not do.

We purchased newspapers on our honeymoon, we posed with the papers and sent copies of papers and pics of us holding them. We did this with 2 different papers printed 2 different days. We also did back to back ATM transactions. first his ATM card then mine, same place, date and moments apart. Pictures alone will not do, you need the additional back up, its what we had to do. We had a single proxy marriage. PM me if you want, be glad to talk to you.

One last thing, dont do it, its a pain in the keester to prove to USCIS that you and her were together for honeymoon. But it can be done.

Just do it the old fashion way, or file for a K1 ficance visa. I wish we did not, but if we did, we really would of confused USCIS with the same last name, and already 1 marriage cert on file for us.

The way the law is set up, marriage by proxy doesn't ease the immigration process compared to conventional face-to-face marriage. You still have to prove you've consummated the marriage. Meaning you have to at least demonstrate you were together in the same place at the same time sometime AFTER the marriage is official. If you've already been together, that doesn't help. There's no such thing as pre-consummating a marriage.

If you do the marriage by proxy thing, you've got to show that it was legally recognized in all three jurisdictions (the place where you were, the place where she was, and the place where the double proxy marriage was held), plus you've got to show that you've consummated the marriage, which might get into questions of a personal nature that you might prefer to keep private.

Since you have to arrange to be together for the consummation anyway, wouldn't it be just as easy to arrange for a quick civil marriage at the time you're together?

There is an interesting wrinkle, though: INA 214( r )(2) says that if the marriage happens outside of the US, a K-3 visa must be "issued by a consular officer in the foreign state in which the marriage was concluded." With a face-to-face marriage, the meaning of that clause is pretty clear -- the K-3 interview happens in the country of marriage. But I'm not sure how that phrase would be interpreted in the case of a double proxy marriage, and I don't know of any case law on the matter. The officers who deal with your case may or may not know exactly how that law applies to a double proxy marriage either. Different officers might even disagree on how to apply that bit of the law. The problem in fuzzy areas of immigration law is that you always have the burden of proof. And if there are gray issues that need to be clarified, it will probably slow things down. At the very least, you may want to get a qualified legal opinion (and I'm definitely not qualified) on the matter before proceeding with the plan.

if you are going to be together after the wedding for a honeymoon/ to consumate the marriage anyways, why not get married in person?

NO, purchase a newspaper day of marriage, take a photo of you both holding the paper, then do same thing again every day while on honeymoon,

keep the original papers, and make photo copies of the newspapers send the copies and pics to USCIS

ALso if you have joint ATM cards, make back to back transactions, mark each receipt to his card or your card, this shows you were together same place, same time.
