K-1 Interviews for those living abroad

[StillThePrettiest 3]

Hi all,

Have been advised by the kindly Sheriff to make a new thread about this, so here goes!

I'm an Australian national currently living in London (have been here just under three years, on the Ancestry Visa, so have full working and living rights until it expires in June 2008, but don't have UK citizenship or full residential status). My fiancé is about to file the first documentation in our K-1 journey, and I was wondering if anyone knows whether I'll be able to go for my interview at the US consulate here in London, or if they'll only process things through the US consulate in Aus.

Would be especially glad to hear from anyone else who went through this process with three countries involved, and not just two!

Many thanks in advance for any advice / information.

If you have legal residency in the UK (at the time of your visa interview), you should be able to have your interview for the K1 visa at the US Embassy/Consulate in London....no need to fly back to Australia. Most consulates proceed this way. In fact in the I-129F, there is a question, pertaining to this....which consulate do you want to interview at. You can put London there.

Good luck!

thank you; that's a load off my mind... can anyone confirm? (not that I doubt you, Paula&Minya; I just like to amass evidence )

incidentally, if all goes to plan I'll be moving to Houston at the end of this journey... nice little coincidence

hi there

from what i have read there are a few australians living in the Uk that have gone through this process and had their interviews in london...

you will however have to get a police check for Australia there was a couple who just sent the fingerprints to to australia where the fiance lived.. (state) and got it done that way..

My fiance is from Cameroon and is currently in Germany under a student visa. I have asked the same question before, and I got all positive responses of others who had done the same thing. We are still waiting for that part of it, but I am praying that we will get it done before he has to go home. Good luck with yours!
