Hi,

Quick questions, what are proof of residency in the U.S.? I have his driver's license and his bank statement, pay stub, taxes (My fiance is in the navy).

Also, is it frown upon if I don't enter the U.S. right away after obtaining the u.s. visa? The reason why I ask is because I only intend to move to the u.s. in 4 months (because of my job and his)...

We plan on getting married in a Church mid august, it's already in the works he's speaking to someone at the church.

Have any of you married in Church on a K1 visa ?? Or do most people marry first in court then in church ?

I believe you have enough evidence, but I'm also unsure if you're asking about residency in the U.S or residency in his current home. (Yes, they're a little different. Proving residency in the U.S you could use a birth certificate or a passport, proving residency in his current home you would need a drivers license, lease agreement, pay stub, tax records, bank statements or even a letter from his employer. Note, you don't need all of it. what you have should be enough for that.)

No, I don't believe it's frowned upon, as long as you use the visa within the designated timeline you should be fine. If you get questioned I'd be surprised, but in the rare case you do just explain your circumstances and do the best you can to stay calm.

That's good, if you feel uneasy about the border security or your interview just take some receipts (if you have any). If you don't tell them your plans, have the name of the venue ready.

It doesn't matter where you get married, as long as it's legal. (Probably don't go to Vegas though) Church or Court is more than fine.

If it's for an interview, make sure you have everything you need, remember the little things. Run over some practice questions, do your best to remember everything you put in the package just in case they ask.

If it makes you feel any better, it's rare that people don't get accepted. Only those few cases that truly stand out in a terrible way.

I hope I helped, if at all a little bit.

Ben.
