Starting K-1. Have a question

[onenonlydano 0]

Hello

I have been reading up and everything makes sense. My future fiancé and I have been talking since we met 2 years ago. Now that my divorce is finally through the court hurdles it is time to bring her here. She is from Philippines but is working in Bahrain where we met. Question is once the application is accepted should she return to Philippines for the interviews or remain in Bahrain. Does it affect anything. There is a U.S embassy in Bahrain. Can't she do everything from there?

Welcome to the forum.

First, you said you have been talking for 2 years since you met. Have you seen each other in person within the last 2 years? That is a requirement of the I-129F petition.

If she lives and works legally in Bahrain, then she can interview there. Just list her Bahrain address on the I-129F, and put Bahrain for the consulate where she will apply for the K-1 visa.

If possible, let her immigrate from Bahrain. It will be much easier and simpler. My gal was an OFW in Hong Kong and she immigrated to the US from HK. No CFO and/or other BS that the Philippines creates just to make money!

If she is legally residing in Bahrain, then she can go to the Embassy there.

It doesn't matter what you do really until your annulment is final. You can renew your passport just fine.

I hope you haven't filed yet your I-129f, because if so, since you are still married, your petition will be denied. You cannot even begin the process until you are no longer married, and are free to marry again.

Yes you can use the embassy in Bahrain. The only issue you may have is her employer, once they learn of her visa process might cancel her work contract and work visa forcing her to go back to the Philippines. If the employer is cooperative then things should go smoothly.
