Does it make a difference if I am protestant and my american fiancee is catholic for our K-1 visa?

No.

To clarify, in some (particularly muslim) countries difference in religion comes up often as an issue; however, in the UK, it generally does not.

A difference of religion or even lack thereof will make no difference to USCIS or any other US government entity. Might be something they ask about at the interview though to see if you are prepared to handle the difference in religion and culture.

The only legitimate reason I can think of for asking such a question would relate to determining whether the relationship was bona fide. In the extreme, a burka wearing Muslim woman from say, Egypt, (where burkas are not common) being petitioned by a US citizen with an obvious Jewish surname would more than raise some fraud eyebrows. Dontcha think?

Otherwise, don't sweat it. It IS the first time I've heard of such a question though.

I'd agree that the only time it may come up is during the interview at the consulate. My fiance and I were questioned about how our families felt with our different cultural values.

I don't think they should be asking about the religion - or that the religion of the applicants should be in the government files at all.

If they however would, I don't see a problem with your case. You have both been labeled with the same religion, just different flavors of it.

Religion never comes up as a question on any form.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing -- did you disclose this somehow to the Embassy at the interview, or beforehand through some other means? It isn't a big deal at all -- as someone else said, you're different sects of the same religion (and very, very mainstream sects at that!).

I tend to agree with the others. Since it's not a question on the forms, and it never came up either in my interview or the people who were interviewed ahead of me, the only way they would be aware of it is if you told them. Even then, I think at most they'd probably just want to know if it was a problem between you, or how you felt about that or if it affected anything. That was what they asked me when they found out about the difference in our ages; the asked us the same things I mentioned here, then dropped the subject without showing much curiosity.
