I need to ask a question since i have not been able to get clear answer from USCIS. My fiancee and I have already filed for a K-1 petition. Will it jepordize our case if we get married and have to change to a k-3 visa? Will we have to reapply and start from square one? Thanks for any advice on this.

You cannot change a visa type once you start a petition, if you have a K-1 in the works, and then decide to marry before you have it you will have to start from zero and file for the CR-1 or K-3 visa.

We decided to get married before my K-1 petition could be processed. What should I do?

If you get married, your K-1 petition will no longer be valid. Your spouse will need to file a different petition, Form I-130, with the CIS.

How long has your K-1 been in process? You do not have a timeline started. :time:

I am doing a K-1 through Guangzhou, Started July 31, and expect to interview this Feb or March.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

What type of denial? Blue slip or did they send the case back to USCIS?

So it was a blue slip, and you sent additional info to the consulate? Then stay the course. If you try a switch after the consulate made a decision then it gets quite complicated, and an immigration lawyer will be needed, it is not a do it your self proposition.

One other thing, If you have not found the site, visit A Candle for Love. http://candleforlove.com that board is Chinese/American culture, and immigrations board. Many stories about overcoming problems with Guangzhou.
