Can I apply K-1 visa while waiting my Dissolution of Marriage (divorce) final or which way is best? My case is pending now. I am new here. Thank you so much.

Both you and your fiance must be free and single to marry at the time the petition is filed and you must provide a copy of your divorce certificate with the I-129F petition.

Best of luck!

You need to be free to Marry. The Divorce Decree needs to be translated as well. Good luck

No you cannot. If your case is pending now, it sounds like you already did. Did you?

I agree with the posters above. You want to be clear and free or else you will raise red flags or be denied.

No if and or but. If not free to marry, the petition will be denied at the service center and never get to the visa application stage abroad. This red flag = outright denial.

I wonder if it would cause some complications if the K1 petitioner had just very recently gotten through a dissolution of marriage? My bf's divorce is still in process and I am just worried that it might be a problem. Any advise? Thanks!

Thank you so much for those information. Yes, my case is pending (with out any economic conflict). I filed the case on Oct. 2007. The attorney at law said I will be free to marry after June and he also said I should receive the final certificate within six months but I still have not receiving my final certificate. Any suggest would be appreciated. Again, thank you so much. J

Are you the petitioner or the beneficiary? In the US you contact the registrar of deeds in the Country where your divorce was granted to get a certified copy to submit with the I-129f petition

After June of what year...2008? IMHO you will have problems, methinks. Not having any economic conflict hasn't anything to do with you filing without including proof you were legally free to do so.

Just MHO of course.

Yes, June, 2008.

I am a petitioner. So, I believe I have to wait till I get the final certification.

Does anyone knows how long would take to finalize the paper for divorce?

Thank you.

I don't think you understand...you said you already have a petition pending. When it is discovered you filed without proof that you were legally free to do so, THAT is where you will have problems. You should be asking the question about divorce docs of your lawyer. He or she will be the only one to answer that.

My interpretation of the OP's original post was that his 'case (divorce) is now pending' not his I-129f. At least I hope so!

[KarenCee 3]

I hope that's the case.
