TRAVELLING ABROAD AFTER GETTING MARRIED

[Tarumba 9]

Hey everyone. I must say this is a GREAT site.

I have some questions regarding the K1, I was sent an email saying my NOA2 has been sent to my fiance's home. What to do now? Is this when i am to receive the packet 3, too? And just what is the packet 3?

Also, we thought about getting married abroad, but I think we HAVE to get married in the US. How about travelling afterwards? Do you know if I can leave the country at all after getting married? (Honeymoon, visiting the family, etc.)

The flowchart is awesome. Really.

A K-1 mandates a marriage in the USA or its territories

Departing the USA after the marriage is not a problem for the K-1, however re-entering (without advance parole or greencard) will be a b!tch...

FAQ: 6.7)...Can my spouse leave the United States, and then re-enter, before receiving the Green Card (conditional permanent residency)?

Whoa such speedy replies.

I guess we'll have to be patient and enjoy the local attractions before leaving.

Yep, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico is fine as long as you use a direct flight to and from there.

Tarumba...can you tell me how long it took you since the date you send the first packet? I-129F until you got your NOA 2 and since when you applied?

You have to commit to it, we sat down on the phone one saturday, no interruptions, had a checklist done, decided on everything I needed to send him, and then I sent everything on monday. We filled in the forms on line together, that monday, and then as soon as my things got to his house, we checked eerything again on the phjone and the next day he sent everything to them.

there's a very useful checklist on inmihelp.

After a couple of weeks, he saw in his bank account that the checks had been cashed (we celebrated a bit) and then we registered on the USCIS website to get on line notifications, and got our receipt number. We kept checking our status (it said pending) until yesterday.

Good luck! You HAVE to be very committed, time wise!

You are right about being committed..thanks for the advice...

Good luck to you too and hopefully everything goes good with your interview

After you receive the NOA2 your file goes to the NVC and then on to the embassy in Lima. Your looking at about 1-3 weeks for the NVC process and the another 30 days after the embassy gets your information for the interview date. Good luck with everything and feel free to look at our timeline or ask us if you have more questions.

Awesome, having real-life examples is so encouraging!
