Hey everyone!

My fiance Hamza is from algeria. We are preparing for our interview (no date yet). We know that he is required to bring military records, if he has any. If he has no military history, is he required to bring a form to say he is exempt from doing the military, or another form saying he has no military history ?

Thanks

Danni

FYI - My fiance did not have his exemption card when we started the process and he was able to obtain it in time (barely!!), however, the consulate never asked for it or about it.

Now if I were you guys would I attempt to go to the interview without it -- ABSOLUTELY NOT -- however, if for some reason he does not have it I dont think I would postpone anything (JMHO)

By military exemption do you mean, for example, the card Adel has that keeps him out of the military because he's in university...is that what you mean? or should he be getting something else?

That is all Hamza has . A card saying he is exempt, because hes is in the University. BUT... they didn't ask for it. I would take it anyways. We actually called, the embassy to ask about this. I asked, if he has no record of being in the military, does he need to bring anything, about this. They said no, don't worry about it. So I think its not a big deal.

No news back about the email yet. I called my Congressman's office today, to see if they got a reply back... But the secretary, who has been working with me, is out of the office today. So they asked me to call back tomorrow. So hopefully tomorrow she will have some new news for me. we will see. Thanks for asking :)

Hello All,

My fiance is Portuguese and did not serve in the military. Do you think it is necessary to have his exemption information translated from Portuguese to English to submit with the K-1 visa application materials in advance of the interview?

No idea, but digging up a 4 yr old thread about Algerian military exemptions to ask in regards to your Portuguese fiancé is as good a place to start as any. Boa sorte!
