Hi there,

 

I filed the fiance visa in February. My fiance lives in Germany and I put Berlin down as the consulate because I just assumed that was correct. Turns out Frankfurt is the only German consulate that processes K1 visas. Will this hold anything up in my application?

 

Also, my fiance is a citizen of Ireland but has lived in Germany for 20 years. Does that pose any kind of problem? Was I supposed to put an Irish consulate down? I'm panicking now...the wait is getting to me I guess!

 

Thanks so much!

The NVC will select the most appropriate US Embassy to forward your case to. If only the Frankfurt Consulate processes K visas, then even if you put the wrong one on the I-129F, they will still forward it to Frankfurt. 

Secondly, if your fiance legally resides in Germany, even if she's Irish, she's still eligible to apply a K visa in Frankfurt because it's her current residence.

Hope this clarified your question, bud. Like others have said, don't stress over this. You'll be fine.

Hi..  Im living in saudi arabia we filed k1 and now stil waiting noa2 but i will go to philippines now and stay there while waiting..  Do i need to change my address now or later?
