starting our K1 journey

[LandI 0]

Hi everyone! We are starting our immigration process.

I need some advise.

I work abroad, but I want to do my medical and interview back at my home country.

Should I go home now before my fiance sends the K1 packet?

There is no need to go home before the he submits the paperwork.   He can simply indicate that you will process in the Philippines on the application.  But bear in mind that there is no need to go home either as you could leave for the USA from your country of Residence (the one you are working in).  Depending on what country that is and where you live in the Philippines you might find that it is much easier to process the interview and medical from where you live..  In the Philippines you'll may face a more detailed medical at St. Lukes, you would also have to process a CFO which you could avoid if you fly from where you reside.  The choice, ultimately is up to you and to some extent on your employer and your country of residence.
