K1 Beneficiary

[Sunshine Times 7]

No problem. It's probably not a good day to be talking about divorce in England anyway.

LOOOOOL

yes, the petitioner's divorce and he is a US citizen.

Embassies lose things. The U.S. Embassy Manila lost some of my documents. It's a good thing Chinook had a copy of everything.

What if the divorce decree is missing from the file?

The VJ Guide suggests that you have a complete copy of the file along with originals/certified copies of the "important" documents such as birth certificates, divorce decrees, etc. in case there is a problem with missing/lost documents. Better to be over prepared and carry unneeded papers then have a delay while a problem is sorted out.

VJ Guides may suggest it but London guides (instructions) do not. Don't you think VJ is covering the whole world with one guide, when each consulate sets up their own plan for logistics? I have never known London to ask for the USCs documents (birth, divorce) in hundreds of couples/interviews in the last three years. London seems to be very different from many consulates in that they do not look at any relationship evidence. You don't have to provide a tax return if you've got other proof of income. You can provide a do-it-yourself affidavit instead of an I-134. The UK beneficiary can self-support with no US sponsor's affidavit. I seriously believe that London is not out to repeat the USCIS's job. An approved K1 petition means the couple has proven they have a relationship and have met in person; they have documented they are free to marry and intend to marry. London is all about the beneficiary meeting visa requirements with his/her documents including UK decree absolute, proof of identity, an approvable medical exam and police record, and financial support. The actual interview part of the morning in London is a 3 minute chat that's more like small-talk with a person you just met at a cocktail party or the local coffee shop. All the fretters walk out saying "That was it?"
