Sending K-1 application from abroad. Concerns.

[Oliver Day 0]

I am a U.S citizen and my fiance is a U.K citizen. We have started gathering information for the K-1 / I-129F application. We have been living together in Spain for 2 years and I have overstayed my visitors visa. We have a few concerns:

1) Should we send the documents from Spain or would it look better if they came from an American address (I could send it to my parents to send off)?

2) Would the fact that I am living abroad illegally affect our application?

3) When putting together our "proof of an on going relationship" documents, the majority of photos, emails, rental contract prove that I am in Spain illegally. Should we omit these from the package?

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

They don't care about the issues raised but you must use a US address as your current address on the petition and as the return address on the package or it will be returned to you. You can use your parents' address like a "permanent address". Also, please pay close attention to the instructions for paying the fee in US dollars drawn on a US bank.

Have you considered trying DCF? Contact the closest US embassy and see if they will let you. The process is MUCH faster and easier!

DCF requires a marriage...

DCF requires the USC to have LEGAL presence in the country....
