Consulate and Interview Question

[Marina + Dave 0]

Hey Everyone!

So my fiance and I have been living in the UK for the past year. He's Australian and I'm the USC. We've already sent out our I-129F but I had a quick question about the interview. On all of the forms we put that he'd have the interview here in London -cause this is his place of residence and has been for the last year. But, since he's Australian does this matter?

Also, just curious, what exactly does it mean when people say they are getting their conditions removed? I assume that you have to prove you are in an authentic marriage after you finally get married, but what does this mean?

Thanks!

Marina

Hi Marina,

after getting married in the US on your K1 visa you'll go through the AOS process to receive your conditional greencard (2 year- gc). 90 days before the conditional green card expires, you can file for removal of conditions, after that you'll be getting the unconditional (10-yr) greencard.

Correct me if I'm mistaken here.

Sorry, I'm not sure about your first question, but if I remember correctly, there was a UK- citizen living in Germany who went through the K1 process and had her interview in the Frankfurt embassy... not sure about that!

Good luck!

You got the forms right - you're supposed to have the interview at the embassy/consulate in the country where you're resident at the time. Nationality shouldn't come into it.

Good luck with it!

Thanks everyone! We just sent the I-129F today! We had to send it first to my mother in the states as I don't have any checks here in the UK! Plus, our bank account here is in pounds and as the exchange rate changes daily, I didn't want to get into that!! So it's supposed to get to Georgia (where my mom is) in 4 days and then she'll add the check and 24hr deliver it to Texas. Then the waiting begins!
