Hi all,

I have been checking this excellent website for information and help but have not seen anything similar to our situation. I am a USC and my fiancé is from the Philippines. She is in Canada right now (for a year) and has overstayed her visitor visa. We both meet all the K-1 requirements. My question is can I file the K-1 using her Canada address. I would like for her to stay in Canada and not go back to Philippines. Is this possible? Will we have problems going this route? Will the embassy in Canada deny the petition because of her status there? Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks in advance for your advice. :(

I know you can not in London, only way to be certain is to ask them.

Logic says no.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I'm no attorney, but common sense tells me she will have to return to the Philippines in order to complete the K1 visa process.

When it comes to her interview... in order for NVC to grant an interview at the Canadian Embassy, she would have to prove/show documentation that she is eligible to be in Canada legally. IF not the she would have to go home and have the interview at Embassy in her home place.
