Apply for marriage in an other country while KI ongoing?

[Sher&Alex 0]

Hi everybody !

I hope to get here any experiences about this question :

I would like to know what consequence from USCIC for my fiancé ans me if we apply for a process of marriage in my country while process of visa K1 is ongoing?

In fact, my American fiancé and I applied for visa K at end of october 2008 but we still have no NOA1 in knowing the $455 checked... So, we wonder if the process is lost or will take a long time, we don't know. Of course, if the K1 doesn't work for us, we would like know soon, to apply for marriage in my country and avoid to lose too much time because we wait a baby... The problem is to apply for marriage in France, my fiancé must come in my country a first time at the city hall of my city to apply in person for marriage with me and a second time for the marriage but she has not enough week off to come in France !

So, is the USCIS can see if we apply for marriage in France? And versus, is my country through US Ambassy, can we already applied for visa K1 in US?

Last question, is the fact we wait baby is a good argument can help us to get a visa K1 approved?

Thanks a lot by advance your answers.

USCIS cannot even see information from the US on this matter... they definetly cannot see what is occuring in another country

If you marry anywhere before obtaining the K1 visa and marrying in the US, you will need to begin again with a spouse visa process. You'll have wasted your $455 filing fee.

Having a baby together helps the evidence you have a bona fide relationship but generally K1 visas through France are not difficult to obtain. They do take several months though.

By itself, the fact that you're expecting a baby is an good argument to prove that you and your fiancee had sex....not that you are engaged and in an ongoing relationship, which is what you need to successfully prove at the consulate in order to be issued your K-1 visa. Taken as a whole, with all your evidence, it can help convince the CO further of the merits of your visa application.

If you still haven't received your NOA1 for the I-129F you sent back in October, you need to give them a call or see if you check was cashed to see if they're even processing it. It's been a while and you should've received your NOA1 by now.

Also, to reiterate what was said by other posters, you should not get married before you arrive in the US using the K1 visa. If you do, you will have to cancel the I-129F and re-file for a K3 or CR1 visa. So basically, start all over again.

If you plan on residing in the US then marrying in France and then filing for a spousal visa, is not going to get you here any quicker. If anything, it will take longer.

If your check has been cashed then your process has begun. NOA1 (I-797) is of little importance. It's the second one (approval) that you need. You can register at uscis.gov with the EAC # on the back of the cashed check.

Having a child together will do nothing to help speed the process.
