Cancelling a K-1 Visa

[R16M05-77 1]

So I have a question, my fiance's visa is at the Tokyo embassy and there is about a 98% chance we will have to cancel it. I found out that I am more than likely going to be accepting a position in Japan that will start in October. Will this look negatively for us? We are still going to get married however it will most likely be in Japan. After we are married will we have to do the CR-1 Visa? Can she get a green card if we are living in Japan but eventually going to move back to the US?

She have to enter US, get married and file 1-485

yeah and that is why we will need to more than likely cancel it.....because by the time she actually has the visa in hand I will be over there working

No, it will not have a negative impact on your case. Go to her. Marry. Enjoy your time together. A green card is for residing in the US. When it is close to the time to return to the US, hit us up on VJ.

Is your job government related? If so she can get a green card there in Japan. Certain jobs if government related allow it. If not then you must start over when ready to leave or both of yous can enter the U.S. to activate the green card but that is ultimately futile if you don't plan on residing in the U.S.

Its a government contracting position at Kadena. How would I find out if she could get a green card when I am there?

It's may be on the USCIS website. I know military for sure can and certain other government jobs. I'm on my phone so I can't do a decent search. It's something that I'd call and at least try to pursue with them.

Kadena is awesome.....

I will give them a call next week. The crapy part is we have gone thru 90% of the K1 process....it would be nice if we could just finish it....all we have left is the interview

I think your Intervew should be here before October

Contact embassy and ask for Intervew date or update ?

NO, a green card is for physically living in the US. When and if you ever decided to move to the US is when you would petition an I-130 CR1/IR1 visa. Cancelling the K-1 will have no future effect on her getting another visa. Just tell them why you cancelled it, you have a legitimate reason for doing so

There are exceptions with regards to u.s. citizens working for the government stationed abroad.

If you are in the military, Military spouse/family have special privilege under certain conditions as part of INA 319(b), there is no residency requirement for GC and you can submit your i-130 petition outside u.s. talk to your CO about it. I remember my friend got married recently in Okinawa and the paperworks were done in Naha.
