I am about to turn in my I-129F but I don't know what consulate to request for my fiance. He is a Filipino citizen currently on a working visa in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am not sure if he can be interviewed in the Kuala Lumpur Consulate or if I should let him go back to Manila, Philippines for the interview? Please advise.... Thanks!

You don't have to make him go home because he can be interviewed at US Embassy in Malaysia.

My fiance called the Kuala Lumpur consulate, sad to say we have to file it in Manila. The consulate said that it may take longer if it will be processed there because he has only been working in Malaysia for only 4 months and the consulate requirement is 1 year. I guess we don't have any choice - he'll just go back to Manila. Does anyone here had or have the same case? We need advice.

Thank you in advance!

Sorry to hear that... well, in that case and if you think you really have no choice, use the consulate in Manila and make him go home when he thinks his interview date is really close. You might make him get a Police Clearance in Malaysia as well since he will need it for the interview. I'm not really good in giving advices but I'm sure someone in the same situation will help you here... Good luck!

Are you sure you asked the Consulate the right question, or that they heard the right question?

How long does your fiance have permission to stay in Malaysia?

How long will he haev been there when your case gets to the Consulate? Closer to a year?

Most Consulates will accept the case of a resident non-citizen (our case was one of these) IF the beneficiary has sufficient forward permission to remain in the host country (in case there are delays completing the case).

You might want to pursue this further.

I'll ask my fiance to check again with the Malaysian consulate. I think he had told them that he's been in Malaysia for abt 4 months now on a work permit. The consulate said that they won't be accepting the case coz it would be hard to validate the requirements. According to them, normally they require 1 yr of residence.

My fiance have permission to stay in Malaysia up to 2 yrs and I think by the time that he gets the petition/paperworks he would still be in Malaysia. How long does it take for the petition? is it between 6-9 mos?

On your case, how long have you been resident non-citizen in that country? How long did it take in your case and what where the requirements they had asked?

I just hope this doesn't get too complicated for us.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience. :star:
