Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
The medical went very smoothly, in and out by about 8:30 AM.
Medical was approved by 1:15 PM the same day (July 6th, 2011) and had my results immediately and out the door.
Interview went by smoothly UNTIL it was pointed out that my father was a US Citizen, and by law, it is illegal to issue a K1 Visa to a possible Dual Citizen (Such as myself)
I now have to go through a totally different route, figure out if my biological father meets the residency requirements and then file for a US passport.
I wish I would've known at the very beginning before Alex and I set out on this adventure, but I didn't find out until May of 2011, 2 months before my interview and about.. 6 months after we had first petitioned for my K1 Visa.
On the upside to all of this, I may not have to give up Canadian Citizenship, and neither will my 3 year old daughter.. and if I cannot prove that my father met the residency requirements, then our K1 Visas are already approved. This is just a discrepancy on the path that they want me to iron out, and once that happens, all will be well.
Please cross your fingers and send good thoughts our way, we will be updating this review and our Status' on VJ until we get a final verdict on the K1/US dual citizenship.
