I am in an unusual situation. I am American living in the Dominican Republic. I met my fiancé here who is from India. We just started the K-1 petition so we can marry and move (move back) to the US. I was wondering if there were others in my situation where you are living abroad, want to return to the US and marry but your fiance is not from the country you are living in?

March 27, 2010 -- Mailed application to Vermont Service Center

April 1, 2010 -- Certified mail confirms delivery

April 19, 2010 -- Called USCIS to update address and got my case#, ie., NOA1

April 22, 2010 -- Touched

August 2, 2010 -- NOA2!!!

Oct 15, 2010 -- Received notification of interview date

Oct. 31,2010 -- Fly to Santo Domingo

Nov. 3, 2010 -- Interview -- VISA DENIED BECAUSE OF IMMIGRATION STATUS

Mar. 9, 2011 -- Received an email indicating the State Department has requested a review of our case

Why don't you marry and apply for DCF? Direct Consular filing? http://www.visajourney.com/content/dcf

I am not a permanent resident of the Dominican Republic so I don't think that would apply to me.
