Mine is more complicated. I am exploiting the K1 so to speak. We stated in the i129F packet that we will marry in the USA, but we do not intend to file a change of status. We will be leaving the USA after the honeymoon. We have no plans to ever live in the USA. I am definitely an EX patriot.

The i129F is approved.

I have a job in Singapore. I make well over five times the poverty level. I have four credit cards (all zero balance), and more than enough in bank accounts in the USA to keep us fed and lodged during the visit.

What will they say?

Until recently I was seeking a K1 for my Burmese fiancé.

*** split from thread by another member- please start your own thread about your own case ****

Unfortunately, income abroad does not count. You will need a co-sponsor (US based US citizen or greencard holder to stand guarantoor for your fiance- be careful, not all US embassies will accept this), or sponsor her on assets. If assets, you need three times the poverty limit, so about $60'000 for two people, and most US embassies want said assets to be US based.

Just curious, why are you even bothering to do the K-1 process? You can get married right where you are, seems like a complete waste of time and money to do a K-1 just to get married inside the USA.

I promised her a honeymoon in San Francisco. Her sister lives in Canidia and cannot come to Singapore. K1 has a high approval rate. No laws prohibit its use in this way.

I have 150k in my US based 401k, and about 12k in a cash deposit in the USA.

I really have no desire to put more money in the USA. I spent a lot of time and effort moving my money out of the USA.

Ahhh I see. Not having income in the USA may cause issues, saving or not, sort of depends on the embassy and the CO for sure.

Good luck!

Thank you;

My collegues say that the embassy in Singapore is liberal. I will top up my account in the USA I guess. I have about 32,000 here in Singapore.

I have a copy of my contract showing that I have employment in Singapore until 2015, with an option to externed, and it also includes a relocation to the office in California af the end of my tour. I also have 18 years of expereince in my field.

I will later either seek PR in Singapore or seek a job in another country. I have Canadia, and Germany on my RADAR. I just hope the enveitable collapse of the US economy does not take down the rest of the Westernized world.
