My fiance is over seas at this time and we are waiting on the K1 to be processed. If I fly to her country and we get married, would she be allowed to return or would we have to do a K3 and wait on that to be processed before returning to the US together?

I-129F NOA1 : 2012-03-26

I-129F RFE(s) : n/a!

I-129F NOA2 : 2012-09-20

NVC Case reception: soon ;)

If you are legally married she can not enter on a K 1 visa. You will have to start over to obatin a spousal visa such as a CR 1.

Thanks for the response. Is a CR1 something you have to apply and wait on or could we just fly back and get in? I'm guessing all visas have some sort of waiting time.

No, she would not

You would lose any money and time you obtained with the K1

You would file the petition for the Cr-1 spousal visa and wait again, slightly longer than the K-1

Good luck

If you get married while the K1 is processing you will have to start all over again with a CR1.

And no she wont be able to 'just fly back and get in'. She still needs some sort of visa whether you are married to her or not.

return to where?

I'm so sorry, this concept of 'stay in USA on a K-3 visa' whilst waiting for the CR-1 to come through,

is bullcrap.

It worked, before 2008, though.

What's up? Where are you getting yer information? It's sadly outdated,

and

wrong.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

-=-=-=-=-=R E A D ! ! !=-=-=-=-=-

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !
