Marriage Certificate

[Michell 3]

Hello everyone, here i am again asking questions.

I'm getting married next month in Mexico and filing soon after. I am a Naturalized U.S. Citizen, born in Tijuana, Mexico. I will be the petitioner. My fiance is Mexican as well Since i have to present my birth certificate to the civil registry in Mexico, the marriage certificate will show me as mexican. Will this be a problem when petitioning him? Or do i have to send my U.S. passport of Naturalization certificate with it to show i am a U.S. Citizen?

Another question is many years ago (more than 10 years ago), my fiance made the dumb mistake and tried drugs. He hasn't done it since then. He was never caught or been in trouble. Would this come up in his medical testing. If he's asked should he say "yes"? Is this question asked anywhere in the paperwork from start to finish.

Now i'm nervous.

Any help or advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

As I can see from your profile, you can't file for A K-1 visa after you get married. Never ever try this. That is the first thing you should have to address. K-1 is for UNMARRIED couples. Beside that, the medical thing might not have a problem, if it is that much far.

Good luck

Thank you for your reply. I will correct my timeline. Originally we were going to do a K-1 but decided to get married instead and do a CR-1.

Send a copy of your Naturalization Certificate when you file the I-130, that will show you are a US Citizen.

Well I got married as a Mexican instead of an American due to the fact that there are so much paper work and money involved doing it that way and I didn´t have any problems throught this whole process (I have dual-citizenship which allowed me to do this)...And about the drugs always be honest,my husband told me that in the medical exam all the people that had used drugs were sent to the psychologist and instead of receiving the results that same day like my husband did,they had to wait until that next day...but it doesn´t mean he will be denied just because of that so don´t worry and remember always be honest because if you are caught in a lie...thats the end of it!

Thank you soo much for your reply. Your information really helped me out and yes, i have been grilling on him to always say the truth. It just makes me feel better to get advice from people who already went thru this process. I will share with him.

Just wanted to let you know i went to Tijuana today to set the date for our civil marriage and i have to agree with you. It's a hassle to get married as an american. Too many requirements. I will submit my U.S. Naturalization Certificate with my marriage certificate when i start the CR-1 process.

It makes no difference if we get married as an American or Mexican...same time..same procedures! NO difference at all! And yeah CR1 is way better that the K1 less money and much better in the long haul!

Yes, it's expensive and a huuuuuuuuuge headache. I thought i had dual citizenship but it turns out i don't. I will get my dual citizenship and get married as a mexican instead. Then submit my U.S. passport and U.S. citizenship papers when applying for CR1. Thanks everyone for your advice.

By the way, my family is from Culiacan. Nice to hear from a paisano. jaja
