Wired situation about K1 visa

[MEDSHE20 0]

Hello All,

I have a question that may be wired and i hope nobody will throw something on me.

Me and my fiancee are starting the process of k1 visa with me staying in china.

I was thinking is it possible to start the process providing my address in my country and when they will start sending packages to me i will go back there.

I hope it's not silly question

Thanks for your understanding.

Not silly at all, yes you can as long as there is some on back home that can collect your mail, and let you know if you got RFE, NOA1, NOA2, ect.

I assume you maintained your residency at a parent's home.

Also if you have not found it yet, check out CFL http://candleforlove.com They cover all things Chinese/American visa and relationship related.

One other possibility is researching DCF if you plan on staying in China for a while. Marry there, and file for CR-1 visa at the consulate.

Well thank you i plan on doing it from my parents house but then one problem is when do i have to be physically present at my country and what about my phone number do i have to provide one of my brother for example?

Also there is one step when i have to provide copy of my passport so how it's going to work with my out of my country?

You don't have to be physically present in the US until your AOS interview - long after she receives her K1 visa. Give the phone number that matches the address you are using i.e. your parents. If you have to provide a copy of your passport, send a copy. It doesn't matter where you are located when you are mailing in copies, and even if it did, you would have your passport with you when out of the US, right?

Are you illegal in China? Where are you from?

MEDSHE,

This sounds contrary to what your fiancee posted on 29 December. Why don't you explain a little more about what you situation is, where you would prefer to apply for your visa, and why.

Hello,

I'm Algerian citizen living in China for 2 years i met a us woman online before 22 months.

We met last month and we are starting the k1 process.

I asked the question about DCF and about starting the process from my country because i read it takes around 9 to 11 months to get a visa from china.

Also i'm living in china on A F(Business visa), so i'm not illegal here.

Thanks.

If you are legally in China, you can use the Chinese consulate, if I am not mistaken.

MEDSHE,

I understand the same as you that the visa application process does take a long time in China, longer than in most other consulates. I don't know about Algeria.

I also don't know if it would be more difficult, as in the consular officers would be more difficult to satisfy, in Algeria or in China. But it would not surprise me if the consular officers in China would be uncomfortable dealing with an Algerian national, being unfamiliar with them, and would therefore be more careful and perhaps take more time reviewing the case than they would normally.

You have an interesting dilema, deciding which consulate you would prefer to apply at.
