k-1 process and procedures

[oyinbj 0]

Thank you so much as i am a bit relieved.

I would like you to assist me please. My hubby filed for K1 visa but we've been engaged traditionally 2009. We had our introduction 2007 and we had our court wedding den too. however, we agreed to get married in US too as it was our parents wish, but in 2008 i got my e-passport as being married and when my hubby alerted me he filed for k1 visa, i had to go to d passport office and change back to my maiden name, he had to send a "to whom" to proved that it was his whole idea for me to change it not as a divorcee and a got a new one. I really want to no if the consulate would detect it and would it affect the all interview process and i hope it wont be counted as fraud attempt too.

Please help.

if you got married in 2007 why would you get engaded in 2009 ,

since you are already married you was supose to have gone with the CR1 or K3 spousal visa not K1

what will you say on the part where it asked if you have ever been married ?

my thinking is you have to withdraw the K1 and apply for spousal visa ( CR1 or K3 )

Ditto. You are married so withdraw the K-1 and reapply for a CR-1.

K-1 will be denied as both parties are required to be "free to marry" at the time of petitioning for the visa and issue of the visa... if you are married to anyone you are not free to marry.

ok am confuessed you ask if it will effect the interview ,

what i can see from your timeline , you already had your interview on DEC 4th today is Dec 29

why are you asking this today ,was your interview aproved or not ?

if not i guess they did find out and you have to go for spousal visa ,

but am just wondering why would you ask if it will effect the interview process ,

when your timeline states that you already had the interview ?

If your timeline is correct you have already had your interview ? If you have had the interview are they doing additional processing or review ? If so there is a good chance they will be visiting your neighbors and asking about your relationship. They will also check to local marriage registry. If they find that you had a court wedding they will deny your visa as being the wrong type. Changing your passport may open you up to a charge of fraud, it was probably a very bad idea. Any traditional wedding has no real bearing on the process as a traditional wedding doesn't count it isn't legal. However pictures of it can confuse the consulate as to your true marital status.
