Really??  So the whole "marry in the US within 90 days" etc just went right over your head?   If that was allowed, there would be no need for two types of visas.

did you not read the guidelines of the K-1 visa?

I was really just filing the quickest way possible. But anyway i have changed my mind. I'm convinced its not a good idea.

You are looking for trouble in the future going off half informed half cocked like that.  Please read thoroughly about the benefit and or visa you are seeking. You are playing with your future!!!!


4 years, 11 months, 2 weeks and 3 days

Citizenship Complete!

USCIS is like a box of chocolates, you never know what kind of answer you are going to get!!!!

We did our our non-romantic court wedding here and then took a year and planned our wedding in Spain.  Was is what i always envisioned, NO.  But sometimes in life you have to work with what you got.  And guess what.  I had the best time at my second wedding.

My court wedding was very romantic. I have a photo of me standing next to my new wife on one side and the judge that married us on the other side laying her head on my shoulder. Needless to say it is not my wife's favorite wedding photo...😚

Finally done...

It would not be okay. You would no longer be able to enter the US on the K1 visa, and if you do, you would be abusing the K1 visa as the K1 is used to marry your fiancée in the United States of America. If you do this you will have to apply for a CR-1 spousal visa and cancel your upcoming plans to visit America and wait longer than you did to receive the K1 to receive that visa.

We didnt want to originally, but i just thought we could do both before we leave.

You can’t.

 

The visa is invalidated and you have to start over if you do this.

That’s great!  It’ll be a few years before that’s funny but it will be eventually

I was thinking more today.
