    Thanks for the tips. I hope everything goes well for you on the 14th!
  2. Maitremathieu
    Makes sense. Thanks again for your help.

    Got it, I now see how the form unfolds. Thank you for your help.

    My fiancée and I are getting married later this month and I'm preparing the forms beforehand so I have everything ready to send as soon as we receive the marriage certificate. I have a few questions about how my future wife should fill out form I-130A. -Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't see the option to fill out this one online. If I'm filing the I-130 online, do I then attach the I-130A in the Evidence section? -I understand that since my future spouse lives outside the United States she does not need to sign the form. However, of course we'll have the opportunity for her to do so at our wedding. Is it better if it does in fact have her signature? -One question asks "Last Physical Address Outside the United States of more than a year." She's lived at her current address less than a year, so does this mean the last place where she lived at least one year? She'll of course provide full address history for past 5 years in the supplementary section as instructed. -Is it ok for me to be the person listed as her interpreter, or do we need to have a 3rd party interpret? Thank you.

    My fiancée and I are getting married later this month, and I'm starting the I-130 petitions for her and her daughter online now so that I have everything ready to submit as soon as we receive the marriage certificate. On the form for my fiancée's daughter, it has sections to upload "Child's birth certificate" and for "Proof of marriage to the child's mother." The next section is "Proof Of Legal Termination Of Parents' Prior Marriages." My fiancée was never married to her child's father, so we do just leave this blank, or do we need to provide any evidence to prove this? The next section is "Proof of stepparent/stepchild relationship, which again asks for the child's birth certificate, marriage certificate to the parent of the child, and proof of termination of prior marriages. I assume this section is just redundant, and we attach the exact same documents? Thank you for your help.

    Got it, I really appreciate your help!

    Thank you very much for your responses. That question on the I-130 is actually one I was wondering about, since it actually reads "Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the benificiary?" My thought was that the answer is NO, because I'm the same petitioner, and not someone ELSE. Then in Part 5 it asks if I've ever filed a petition for the same benificiary or someone else, where I would provide that information. Does that make sense?

    My fiancée came to the US earlier this year on a K1 visa. Sadly, she experienced a death in the family shortly after arriving, and we made the difficult decision that it was the best thing for her to return to her country to support her extended family during the difficult time, and to start the immigration process over again. We are now planning to get married abroad next month and then file for CR1. Were we supposed to do anything to cancel the K1 process when she left the US? I tried to figure this out at the time but couldn't get any straight answer, and there was so much going on I didn't have much time to dedicate to it. I just want to ensure now that we take care of anything that could complicate re-applying for CR1. Thank you.

    Thank you for all of the helpful advise. It definitely is a situation where tough decisions need to be made. In the end I'm hoping that everything turns out ok, however I'm just a person that likes to have as much information as possible to understand what the worst case scenario *could* look like. I'm doing my best to support my fiancée so she can make what she feels is the right decision.
  14. Maitremathieu
    That's what I was afraid of. Thank you.

    My fiancée recently arrived here on a K1 visa and we haven't had the chance to get married yet, however she just received devastating news regarding her grandmother back home. Preparing for the worst case scenario, I was trying to figure out if there's any possibility for her to get an Emergency Travel Document (as explained here https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/greencardprocesses/traveldocuments/emergencytravel) to allow her to re-enter on the K1 visa prior to us getting married. The situation is fluid and we live in a state with a waiting period for marriage licenses so I'm preparing for the absolute worst case scenario in that she needs to leave before we can marry and apply for AOS. Does anybody know if this is possible? I'm hoping that she doesn't need to travel, but just wanted to get the information to understand what could happen.

    It was about two weeks.

    My fiancée had her medical examination prior to the visa appointment, however she is missing her vaccination records so we'll need to see a civil surgeon here anyway. Can this be done prior to us getting married, or does it needed to be dated after the wedding? My goal is to have the entire packet filled out and ready to go, so the same day we receive the completed marriage license we can sign and send of the AOS package to have things processed as soon as possible. Just trying to see if there is any reason this is not possible?

    We had the same experience. After about 2 weeks appointments opened up. Good luck!

    Thank you very much everybody for all of the great answers! When we got engaged, for a few reasons we planned to get married in the US rather than in my fiancée's country so went the K1 route. At that time I was unaware how long AOS took and the issues with traveling outside the US during that time. If I knew then what I know now we would have gone the spousal visa route, but at this point we're less than a month away from the visa interview and just looking forward to being together.
