hi

i married my wife last year who is a us citizen whilst on vacation in the us (vwp). it was a very last minute thing, spur of the moment. anyway just after we married we moved back to the uk, she had no problems getting a uk visa, we applied for the cr1 visa, and as it turns out my wife missed her family a lot and as i got my interview date for this month, we decided she would fly home start up her old job and get us an appartment so i could just move over next month.

i should be ok at the interview having married on the vwp? it was'nt planned, in fact we just really wanted to do it (best move i ever made). i never stayed in the us, and never changed my status, actually the plan was to live here really.

so does naybody have any tips on whats best to take to the interview?

i have the list i need, but im thinking extras etc ?

thanks guys

You are perfectly fine! Many people marry on the VWP and leave to return to their home county. The only thing I think you may need is proof of your wife's residency in the US (employment letter, lease, mortgage etc) I only say this because she was on a UK visa prior to applying for a CR-1 for you and Montreal embassy has been requesting such documentation recently.

Good luck.

i though it would be fine being that we left for the uk as soon as we married,

and she just sent me her contract and pay stubbs, plus the copy of our lease with both our names.

its put my mind at ease!
