So when you fill out DS 160 for the K-1 interview, you will be answering the questions again, such as your marital status, have you been married before etc. If get married in august and say “no”, you’re committing a fraud. If you say “yes”, automatically denied. It’s this simple 

Yeah, I understand that now. As previously stated, I at no point intended to lie to anyone about anything. Nor would I intentionally try to commit fraud. When I was thinking about it, I was not thinking about having to answer that question again. That's why I asked for opinions. Thanks for your answer. I just was thinking we would get married in Mexico (continue to wait for the k1 visa since we are doing that anyway) and then when it was approved get married here, no harm done. Obviously I am not going to go through with that, despite what some strongly opinionated people may think lol

If you read any of my responses I think you can clearly see I am not going to follow through with that idea

Im sure that wasn't any sort of stereotype or anything =D 

Why?  I wouldn’t say the same if you thought I would take US Air or American Airlines out of my country. 🇺🇸

@cspence10 I can tell you that no one here will ever assist in someone else committing fraud, and some of the comments that you found salty are not entirely directed at you.  I know first hand a lot of people don’t understand the intricacies of things, and that’s why it’s okay to ask, like you did, and accept the answers, which you seem to be doing.  You understand your idea isn’t possible, so now you move forward and decide what is best for what you and your fiancé want.  That’s what’s important to take from this.

 

Whichever way you choose, you will come to understand where some of these responses come from.  The reason for the high levels of scrutiny and slow process times is because other people didn’t ask, and carried on with something that was illegal, which, in turn, makes the process tougher for all of us. 

 

No one wants to be apart from their significant other, and everyone wants their wedding on their terms, but concessions need to be made.

 

A year from now you’ll be on here giving the same salty answers to someone who doesn’t quite know the full extent of what they’re in for   

 

Best of luck for whichever route you take.

Im from Binghamton, 

 

Cool to see a fellow NYer

 

Yeah I guess ppl are testy. Whatever. A simple "no doesnt work because its fraud" was perfect. I would have even have accepted (with anger but still would have accepted it) "duh thats stupid how could you not know thats fraud" because i honestly wasnt thinking fraud. I was thinking it would just be like "oh wrong visa, go back and fill out the other one". Literally in my head it was just that I was going to add more time by having to switch to the other visa. 

 

but people attacking my character telling me im trying to cheat the U.S. government, which im a military member soo..., was just like super unnecessary i felt. Especially since like 100 people already answered. I still dont understand why people are still commenting. I obviously got my answer so no need to try to jump in and throw a couple extra kicks.

I will say thank you to you, since you were the only person to answer the question without your hair catching on fire and jumping to conclusions lol

You are most definitely welcome. This is a great site for accurate information, but unfortunately you have to put up with quite a bit of rudeness to get that information sometimes. Congrats on your engagement and good luck on your immigration journey

Because the K1 is already submitted. And if I did not absolutely have to, why would I cancel the request and start all over after 5 months?

In my head ->

Married in Mexico 8/14

Visa gets approved whatever day

Married in the U.S.

Submit for AOS. 

 

No where was I trying to skip steps, what would even be the point of me trying to get married and hide it? That would literally just take longer. 

My reason for wanting to be married in August has everything to do with religion, and the way dates line up, and nothing to do with the US government or the visa process. 

She has to legally be single to use the K1 Visa to enter the US. If you marry before she enters the US she would be committing Visa fraud by entering the US on the K1 Visa. These ppl arent crazy or assuming. It's just the truth.

You can marry in both countries:

 

K-1:  First marriage must be inside US.

CR-1:  First marriage must be outside US.

I agree with the K1 with the marriage being inside the US, but one can marry inside the US and subsequently file a CR1, so the CR1 wedding does not have to be outside the US.

You're right......I should have said "or marry inside US and continue consular processing".......Thanks for the correction...
