Is there no problem if I can go to my home country before going to u.s.

Hello everyone! Anyone can experience to go first to their home country before going to U.S. Using K1 visa? Refer my previous post I recently passed my interview at U.S. Consulate Riyadh and they told me that they will process my visa 15 to 30 days period. I am planning to go to Philippines first as I want to see my parents and relatives before going to U.S. I am thinking maybe it's not allowed because the visa was issued here in Riyadh not in

Philippines. I need your suggestion guys. Thank you!

It's perfectly fine to go SA - PI - US. Just don't enter the US and then leave without adjusting your status or having AP.

I think it should be ok. All that matters is getting to the US POE. Not how you get there.

Are you a Philippine citizen? If so you will have to have the CFO stamp prior to leaving the Philippines for the US.

Thanks! What do you mean by having AP? I'm so sorry I'm not familiar with this

POE is the Port of Entry in the US. Whichever airport in the US you land at first is your POE.

AP is Advance Parole. You can submit your application for AP with your AOS packet. Usually takes about three months or so to get it, and then you can travel outside the US before you get your green card.

Thank you guys I found out in googles that CFO is commission in Filipinos overseas. This is a must to have it before leaving in the country for the U.S.
