Fiance in a country outside his home country

[MaRob 0]

I was wondering how many people out there have had their fiances go to interviews at a consulate in a different country than their home country? My fiance is from Cameroon, but has been living in Germany for the past 3 years under a student visa. His consulate therefore would be Frankfurt. Has anyone had any experience with this, or does anyone think this could be a problem. Do consulates have a problem processing papers from someone not from their country? I just mailed off the I-129F this week, and his visa expires at the end of this year, so I am ferverently praying that everything goes through before he would have to go back home. If he did, would they transfer his papers to Cameroon, or would we have to start all over again?

Thanks for anyone's thoughts

MaRob,

As long as your fiance is still residing in Germany when it's time for him to make his visa application, and he expects to be there for a while longer, then he should make the application in Germany. If he's had to go home to Cameroon before he's made the visa application, or before there's been an interview in Germany, then the case may have to be transferred to Cameroon.

My fiancee is an Australian citizen but has been living in the UK since Feb 2006. We just got our interview date and haven't had any problems so far! The only thing you need to remember is that he has to get a police check from each country he has lived in (for 12 months or more) since reaching the age of 16! You don't need to get this until the interview...but just a heads up!

Thanks for that. I think he knew that, but its good to go ahead and get started on gathering! There are so many foreigners in Germany that it seems sure that the Frankfurt Embassy has done this many times.

Well I guess it may depend on each individual Embassy I dont know. However my fiance is from Pakistan and in Uk on a student visa. We applied in Uk and he got the visa. So I think you can do it.
