I think the only issue is a previous named used.  Just like anyone who has changed either their first or last name legally, under any circumstances.  Your gender is a legally recognized status, as evidenced by your updated BC, etc.

 

The only other roadblock I can see (and this is for later on in your immigration journey) is depending on the political culture of your fiancee's country, she may be subject to aggressive questioning in the embassy interview.  This is just a generalization of course, but.....I could see this being different in the UK vs. a MENA country, for example.  

 

As long as she is prepared for potentially invasive personal questions, she should be fine.  Oh, and for some consulates, it counts big time if you are able and allowed to accompany her to the interview.

 

Good luck! ❤️   

just what I was thinking

Does your finance Know?

Will her parents be told and will they accept?

important to have children in some cultures and not possible for u / Adoption is of course

knowing what country u r dealing with here could help us answer

good luck to u

Hello,

I need some help please. I am a US citizen who is a transgender man and I am petitioning for my soon to be wife. I have had surgeries, I have  birth certificate, drivers license and passport all now stating male. My question is on the k1 visa application is it absolutely necessary to fill in “other names” on the application with my old information? I feel extremely uncomfortable about having to do that. Thank you.  

Yes....All questions must be answered truthfully and completely.

Thank you for your input. To answer your questions: yes she knows, both her parents are deceased. The country of her location is the Philippines. That culture seems to be rather accepting. She has two children 18 & 22 of whom I claim as my own (not on paper yet of course). I have been there to see her and her other family members and friends.
