You need to look at the AOS process for afterwards but you have a long time until then. You don't mean that she's coming over *now* to get married, do you? Because that would defeat the purpose of applying for a K1.

well there will be no diffrence in case check with consulate and see if they have DCF(direct consulate filling) if they do have it ,you need to find out what needs for that not all consulate has got this option so ..the other way if you married in your cuntry and she goes back to USA and apply for I-130 is same as I-129F it takes same time to get approved all kind process just like I-129F..

I hope this will help you get idea for you little bit ..

well I just checked on usa embassy in your country and if you married in your country you have to live there at least 6 months to apply to consulate for a visa so if she can live there at least for 6 months after marriage I would go head do this bc it is easy to get visa this way bc you do not need to send any documents to usa to get approved so you have to talk each other and decide what you wanna do after married in your country

ok u can check for more info but as I said that you have to live in your country with her at least 6 months to apply for a visa to consulate and it is way faster but still it can be longer if they do wanna check on you more when you apply

I'm a bit confused here..

You want to marry now and file again but now the direct consular filing even though the initial petition was filed 9 months ago? I don't know but why would anyone want to wait another long time before the visa is handed out? And are you sure the K1 was ever submitted? The timeline doesn't show anything of a NOA1 or something else :S also, is the K1 petition denied? If so, are you sure that marrying in your country and filing then will make you eligible to get the visa? They might deny it again..

About having met in the last two years, in some situations this is not mandatory according to the petition, so there are ways to avoid that rule but.. I don't get it really (and that might be a difference in culture) but why does anyone wants to marry someone that he or she didn't see in at least the last two years? Sounds weird to me :S

To travel to Algeria your girl friend needs a visa. The maximum time the visa is good for is 90 days ( 3 months ) so there is no way for her to stay there legally to do a direct consular filing on a visitors visa. She can travel and you can marry. She must leave before her visa expires and that would be before she has been there long enough to qualify for a direct consular filing. Assuming that your K1 was denied for not meeting in the last 2 years her trip and your marriage fixes that. Now she will have to file a CR1 visa ( and a k3 if she wants) once she is back in the US

Good luck

You say that you have not met the requirement of meeting within the past 2 years. Have you received a letter from USCIS denying your petition? If not, before your fiancee files a new petition she needs to write a letter to USCIS withdrawing the I-129F that you filed in November.

Once you get married you can file a CR1 or K3. Take a look at the guides to see what is involved in that.

Good luck :)

If you get married outside of the US and DCF isn't a possibility (sounds like it won't be for you guys) you will have to file for either a I-130 or a CR1 visa. Both take longer than the I-129f to be approved, so she will probably end up coming over there to marry you, then coming back to the US. You are so far along the I-129F process, it might make more sense for her to come over, visit, then come back and send additional proof to USCIS that you have met in person. Was the petition denied? Did you guys receive an RFE?

also confused you filed the k1 knowing u havent met? now she is coming there to marry ? first i would think you need slow down a little. If she comes there now to satisfy the meeting requirement i still cant see the first k1 going thru without those requirements to start with...now it is not normally good to marry on first meetings..still many things need to be learned and shared between the two of you and embassies dont really consider this good to marry at first meetings....if you marry and file cr1/k3 your probably looking at a years wait (have u gotten anything on the k1 about not meeting yet) i cant see this going thru this long without stopping the process and not sure it can be added after the fact....
