Hi guys,

Earlier this year I and my fiance were living in Shanghai and were due to get married in Beijing. However, due to personal reasons, we are now marrying in the US using the K1.

Whilst in Shanghai, we both needed to prove we were both single to proceed with our marriage plans. My fiance got his proof of being single from the American consulate in Shanghai, and I did the same but in the British consulate.

Now our NOA2 has been approved, we are sorting out our documents and are compiling a folder that I can take for my interview in the London embassy (I'm a British citizen).

Can anyone give me some advice on whether getting my proof of being single from the UK consulate in Shanghai (completely in English) stating I am legally able to marry will be okay? I have looked online at what to take with me at the interview for the K1, and people have said the CNI ( Certificate of No Impediment).

Any help would be great on this one. I know it's a bit of a random/tricky question!

Thanks.

You can't get much more official than the instructions straight from the embassy in London. Here they are http://london.usembassy.gov/iv/fiance_instructions.html

In step 2, the word "here" is a link to documents for the interview.
