Hi everyone,

I am newbie here. My fiance and I are going thru K-1 processing. He is a US airforce personnel. Is there anyone who knows what my fiance needs to do about marrying to a foreign national, especially being a military personnel?? Does he need to get some kind of permission from his commander to state that he is allowed to marry to a foreigner? My fiance has been asking around, yet got nothing. And what's more, he is now depolyed in South Korea, and will be flied to Japan in June about. In such case, what we should do would be the best? We planned to get legal marriage papers done in the States ASAP I get my visa.

Thanks for your help !!!!

In regards to getting permission, I'm not sure.

You're applying for k1 visa right? But he's moving to japan later this year. How are you planning to do this? Both fly to America to get married then then both move to Japan? Sorry I'm really confused. It seems like a lot of work. It'd be easier if you guys got married then he petitioned for a spouse visa instead. There's still a lot of work that needs to be done with the k1 visa after you get married

As far as i know, he can file I 129f even he is overseas,since he is military.. If you get approved i think you will fly where he is stationed and get married there, since he is military his station still considered as US soil.. Please someone correct me if i. Wrong ?

Yes, we are,and I have done the visa interview already.Only wait for the background check of my CCP memebership.We planned to fly to America to get married and then he starts the papers to get me on his orders so that I can fly to Japan later.

We filed I-129F when he was still in the States.And as to getting married where he is stationed, I am not sure about it,but if we could, that would be the best, so we dont have to fly to the States.

He needs to get a no objection to marry letter. Ask his chief or commander for assistance. Thats what my husband did.

He was even sort of reprimanded for not going through his commander.

Should we get the letter before the visa processing or is it fine to get it before we get the legal marriage papers?

Im not sure about it. We did not file for visa at that time. He just got the papers from bahrain before we got married.

We needed a "Permission for marriage" stating the present marital status and address issued by the Commander which wasn't because I was a foreign national but because it was requested by the office where we got married!

Thank you sooo much guys.good.gifsmile.png .I really appriciate your responses. And for now, I guess I will ask my fiance to get a permit from his commander just in case. I am really upset at the delay of the visa though. It's been 4 months since my interview....crying.gifcrying.gif

For our case, my husband talked to his commander and didn't really get any sort of letter.

Your fiance will have to ask his commander. Or even his first shirt. Or anyone in his squadron who has a foreign wife. They will know best. :) Good luck!!!
