Proxy Marriage and CR1 visa

[HABU123 3]

This is often done in Morocco and accepted as legal as it is your POA given for marriage which is only an signed agreement between the 2 of you and no ceremony is performed/ legal in morocco and theresfore accepted by the US

I hope you took many photos of the trip with him and family

you should also have a copy of the procy document and translation for USCIS

You may want to return for even a short visit to have the marriage celebration which they consider just as a wedding reception but photos are used to show marriage / also go on a small trip to another city and use these photos for honeymoon

this question can only be answered by someone doing business with moroccan embassy and please forget the K 1 in Morocco / waste of money and time / i have a friend in AP since June 2014 on a K 1

incha allah

all will be ok

Thanks. Fortunately I have only done the POA but the marriage certificate has not been signed yet by any parties so in theory no marriage yet.

I need an advice from you all. Should I call the marriage off and do the K-1 visa instead? OR still do the marriage and do the CR-1 or K-3?

What are my chances with the K-1 visa ( I visited her twice and done an engagement part)

If I go back sign it myself (very unlikely due to my job and i just got back), what are my chances with the k-3 or the CR-1 visa?

Can someone help me with an advice? what should I do now:

1- call the proxy marriage off and do K-1 immediately instead?

2- Proceed with the proxy marriage then consummate the marriage later then apply for CR-1?

I appreciate everyone's help on this! it has been a long and stressful process on me lately.

Number 2 is less complicated.

1 is quicker, but you may be "too married" for a K1 by now.

2. is easier, plus it means she can work and travel right away upon entry to the USA, say if she wants to visit family back home for the holidays, or there is an emergency.

Thanks. I am confused when you are telling me that I am "too" married for a K-1. I only obtained the marriage license but have not yet done or signed the marriage certificate. Am I still "too" early for a K-1 that way?

Proxy marriage is HUGH RED FLAG, don't do it. Do a K1

Trust me, If you like in box me, and I will tell you some history of Proxy marriage and USCIS.

Do a search here on VJ for proxy marriage. No one has a good story to tell about the process.

As a former VJer years ago, I did proxy marriage, after long time we were approved, too bad night after interview, the SOB showed his true colors, and I

cancelled his visa. Don't do Proxy marriage, its a Hugh red flag for starters. Plus you have to prove you were in same place at same time after the

marriage, that is their was considering marriage was consummated and lot of other evidence.

Stick with K1 or go there marry, save yourself time and aggravation.

Technically, you can get a K1, as you are both free to marry and not married yet by law.

However, we had several cases on here where a couple files for a K1 after requesting a marriage license, or doing a traditional, but non-binding/ not legal wedding ceremony, and were denied the fiance visa by the CO because the CO said they were married. So, it is a risk you neeed to weigh up, because it is possible you file for the K1, get all the way through the process (6+ months), and then get denied and need to start again from the beginning with a CR-1. But, it is also possible you get the fiance visa.

Thank you for explaining.
