Hi and welcome to VJ

1&2)You may like to start with the K-3 Guide HERE.

3)Yes you will need police certificate from any country you have lived in for a specified time.

5)The time it takes to complete varies ........Which service center you go through, background/security checks etc. and how long it takes your particular consulate to schedule interview.

6)How you marry is up to you.

7)No you dont have to remain in India until the interview for the visa. On the forms you can use the address in the country where you are working as the mailing address to receive any correspondence regarding your case.

You can find me on FBI

An overview of Security Name Checks And Administrative Review at Service Center, NVC & Consulate levels.

just wanted to say welcome to VJ ,you have gotten some great reponses. WELCOME

I do not wish to share any information about this dead end journey.........I have reached my final destination on this train, and it is time for me to get off.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"If marriage means you fell in love, does divorce mean you climbed out?"

"You never really know a man until you have divorced him."-Zsa Zsa Gabor

"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." Deuteronomy 24:1-2

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." - Helen Keller

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." - Mother Theresa

4) Getting an immigration lawyer is upto you. I have heard cases on VJ where lawyers have screwed up things for their clients. The process is listed on this site and if you have the time to do it then there is no need for a lawyer. I am doing everything by myself, thanks to the site here and all the VJ users. The lawyers in India are no help as they do not know the process.

5) Check the "Processing Times" tab at the top of the page for average processing times.

6) You will have to do the traditional marraige first because the Indian court will require a few photographs of the wedding as well as the wedding invitation card at the time of registration. Alternatively if you marry at a Gurdwara then you will also get a certificate from there which will speed up your process at the registrar. You should hire a lawyer in India for the registration of the marraige. Your lawyer will specify what you need to bring to the registrar. There are other options also if you do not want a traditional marraige and instead want to opt for a civil ceremony.

7) Your fiance does not have to stay in India for a specified amount of time after marraige. She can marry and immediately return to the US to file for you.

Another option is DCF (direct counselor filing) at Delhi embassy. The new rules for that are the US Citizen has to stay in the India for 90 continous days. The US Citizen also has to have a employment visa in her name and must be working for a company there. If you cannot satisfy the work visa requirement then the USC has to stay in India for 6 months. If DCF is done then the maximum time for you to get visa for the US would be 3 months.

Thanks a lot.
