Is fiance visa only valid on the country where i applied?

[Carla Sepe 0]

Hi! We have applied for a fiance visa. My fiance is in california and i'm in Dubai but my nationality is Filipino. If it gets approved, cam i go home to the Philippines and travel to USA from there? Or should i still go back to Dubai and travel from here?

Thanks!

You can do it either way. You can travel to the US from any place you want.

Good luck!

Yes! For example, my fiancé is Pakistani. He was living in te UAE... He's now home in Pakistan for a 2 week holiday..from Pakistan he will fly here

The visa is issued by the US government to allow the holder entry into the US. Other countries could care less about the visa issued by the US. They only care if you have the proper documentation to enter their country. The K-1 visa is a single entry visa and once used you cannot leave and return to the US without either advance parole (AP) or the green card (GC). The CBP person you will encounter does not care how you arrived or from where you arrived. They will just make certain the visa is still valid and that you hand over the unopened brown envelope. They will process you and enter your information into the system to generate the electronic I-94. That determines your lawful presence and the time you must get married by. Once married you file for Adjustment of Status (AOS). There is no time limit for filing, but there can be issues if you wait too long.

Good luck,

Dave

As everyone said, yes you can. But if you're going home to the Phil before entering US don't forget to attend CFO seminar

Just a reminder
