Getting Married in Tegucigalpa, Honduras on 02/17/07..We need Guidance!

[KevinB 0]

Hello,

My name is Kevin. I am a US Citizen and born here in the USA. I plan on marrying my girlfriend, who is from the Dominican Republic. We plan on being married in Honduras and then once married I planning on filing the appropriate CR-1 process and I-130 paperwork here in the USA to petition to have my new wife come live with me in the USA. Once I receive the NOA-1, then I would finle the appropriate K-3 paperwork and I-129F Form with the Tegucigalpa Consulate.

Question: We are getting to Tegucigalpa on 02/16 and plan to be married at some point during our stay in Honduras. We are staying there through 02/20. Can we get married 'officially' by judge in Tegucigalpa, Honduras? Any suggestions on who we contact to make arrangements? Being that neither of our families are local in Honduras (her's are from the Dominican Republic and mine are from the USA), we will unfortunately not have any witnesses (family or friends) present, just my fiance and myself. Will the Judge who marries us supply witness(s)? If not, what are your suggestions

Also, my finance will need to make medical/doctor arrangements ahead of our interview (once they approve our petition) and schedule the interterview. How/who does she contact (doctor) for this? I'd love for the appointment to happen on the same trip that we make back together to Honduras for the consulate visit. Hopefully arrangements can be made for doctors visit for her BEFORE the interview at the consulate. I'd hate to make another very expensive trip for the both of us.

Thanks in adavance for assistance and quick response!

Desparate,

KevinB

Is your fiancee in Honduras as a visitor, or resident of Honduras? USCIS and NVC will defer the case to the consulate in the Dominican Republic if she is not a resident of Honduras.

YuAndDan,

Actually thats not correct. With a K3 the law requires that the Visa be issued in the country "where the marriage took place"
