K1 visa soon to be 18

[hoy123 2]

Hello my fiance is going to turn eighteen in about 7 months and i was wondering if i could start the visa process now and have her get an appointmnet for the interview after she turns 18. Im trying to go through the proccess myself but it seems as if i might be better off getting a lawyer... unless anyone here has any advice on the issue.

Her parents are fine with it and are willing to sign any consent forms in order for the marriage to take place as it is perfectly legal to do that in the United States.

Im just wondering if i should hand in a consent form with the I29 or maybe a letter stating that the benificiary will be 18 at the time of interview.

does anyone have any experience or can refer me to someone that can advise me better

thanks,

I don't think the USCIS is concerned with her actual age, only if there is like a 30 year difference between you. And there shouldn't be a problem if her parents are willing to sign a consent form. unless it actually states in the petition instructions that she needs to be 18, there shouldn't be a problem. I was 19 when I completed all mine.

you can apply now and you should include the letter of consent from her parents. marrying under the age of 18 will depend on the state you plan on marrying in though

This is #######.. You cannot even File until she is of Legal Age. Some Countries require Consent of the Parent (s) even after 18. You are not dealing with Wal-Mart here. You are dealing with USCIS

No Dan.

The requirement for the petition is that both the petitioner & beneficiary must be free to marry WHEN THE PETITION IS FILED.

You need to wait until she's of legal age.

This isnt the phillipines on were i plan to get married i plan to get married in a state that allows marriages at this age with parental consent...Shes going to be turning 18 before the whole process is over and gets on a plane to arrive her.. so she will be 18 anyways.. so i dont know what to do as far as sending a letter of consent or not

I think your full of Pucky! You don't even have a Timeline for the OP or Country. So you are guessing and will not admit your fault.

That Petition requires Legal age. In the the US, a USC and USC without USCIS involed is different and ages vary State to State. This is not the Case. It is a Immigration Isuue and Each Country has there separate Laws.

YOU CANNOT FILE UNTIL SHE IS OF LEGAL AGE. PARENT CONSENT OR NOT
