Hello everyone,I would be having my interview soon and I am worried about that question.My fiance and I didn't have a formal prosal,I got denied in tourist visa when I wanted to go to US and stay with him for 6 months.A little time after that we talked about it and we decided to get married because we don't wanna be apart anymore and we wanna start a life together. My fiance has been living with me in my country since all this happened, we wanted to get married in my country but the time was limited by the time we decided so he overstated here till I get accepted so we can go back together and that's why we wanna get married in America.I understand that I have to be honest to the embassy counselor do you think that this is a bad view and my visa will get denied?

there's nothing wrong with your motive to get married in the US, your boyfriend as a US citizen can choose to get married in his home country whenever he wants with whoever he wants, it will give you some extra points if he goes to the interview with you, all the embassy wants is a genuine relationship.

you dont choose to get married in america you choose to apply for the k1 and thats part of the k1 requirement to get married apon entering into the USA.. i think the question your thinking of is why a apply for the k1 and not get married and file for cr1... if they were to ask you that question then honestly is the best route... if you start to lie why your went for ak1 and not a cr1 then they may pick up on that your being untruthful so just be honest.. There is no set right or wrong answer to the question aslong as your genuine and the motives are right then the officer should sense that from you

Honestly tell him that the reason you want to go the K-1 visa route and get married in the US is bc you want the least amount of time apart from your SO. CR1 visas can take a much longer time, and your SO may not be able to be with you that whole time, especially since he overstayed his visa. If your relationship is honest and you have your paperwork in order, then you shouldn't be denied.

Because you liked the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"... and you want to marry in California - home of Hollywood.

Truthfully - I don't think they will ask "why do you want to get married in the US"... they will probably ask about your relationship:

When did you meet

Where did you meet

Where does your USC live

What's his birth date

Was he married before

Does he have kids

What is his job

Why do you love him

What does his family think about your relationship

I've heard of those questions... but not "why do you want to marry in the US"
