Hi everyone, i am new member and my fiance lives in Greece. I plan on going over there to get married and do our paperwork. I need some information on direct filing in foreign countries. Can I do direct filing in Greece and has anyone done their paperwork over there? :yes: Does anyone know the best way to file in Greece?

Thanks all, I did alittle research too on the U.S. Embassy and turns out that they do direct filing. So thanks for the help.

ela! & yia sou :)

Our story is a bit stale (we filed in Aug 2002) but should be of some use to you. See if you can't get in touch with the Immigrant Visa Unit first; they should be helpful.

Also, you will file the I-130 with the USCIS Field Office (inside the Embassy Building but not the same department as the Consular staff).

Will you be having a Big Fat Greek Wedding, or something else?

If you do not read Greek, I have some of the documents in English as well.

Let me know if I can help with any local info! :)
