Dual National marriage to Single National in US state, non-immigration enquiry

[JZKG 0]

Hello everyone, 

 

What's with the suspicion? 

 

This forum is quite large and I had no clue where to ask the question; secondly, having been living in Poland for the last couple of years I have become accustomed to being required to have documents and stamps for everything. Thus I was unsure what the process was regarding a destination wedding; if it required a special trip to the capital for some piece of paper allowing a civil destination wedding in the US between a US citizen and a non-US national.

 

No need to argue. No need to get suspicious. 

 

Thank you all for your help. 

 

Regards

J&K

There is no reason for suspicion imo.  There are always threads posted in the wrong forums.  That's why we have organizers and moderators....so don't worry about it.......Visa Journey is a great place for information throughout the immigration process.  I hope you will continue to ask questions and discuss your journey........good luck.

It’s probably a good thing that you are not a CO at the embassy if you’d deny a visa to a Polish citizen, living in Poland with another Polish citizen (yes, he also happens to be a USC but with no foothold in the USA at the moment) who just wants to get married in Hawaii with no immigration intent.

 

Thanks for the attack. 

 

I didn't mention a CO in the context of OP. I specifically mentioned CBP at POE. And I believe that without the USC showing proof of ties to Poland, there is a good chance the Polish fiancee will be denied entry.

Your wife’s K-1 was processed in Canada which is notoriously picky and strict on the domicile issue due to its proximity to the USA and the particularly high number of people who apply for immigrant visas for the USA but want to try and live in both countries (to maintain Canadian healthcare benefits, for example, whilst working in the US). The question is often asked by Montreal and with good reason. It’s no reflection on your status or integrity, but based on the hundreds before you who have bent and broken the rules. 

 

My wife's K-1 interview was in Rangoon (aka Burma), which is a city in Mynanmar (aka Burma).

 

I didn't consider the question a reflection on my integrity.  I considered it interesting. And knowing what I know now, I would have included data in the I-129F that shows my ties to the USA.

The OP posted in the K-1 section, as many do, because many people erroneously believe that a foreign national needs a K-1 visa to marry in the USA even if they are not intending to stay and even if they are not marrying a USC. It’s an honest and common mistake. Many Brits think they need a visa to get married here because the UK requires all non-EU nationals marrying in the UK to have a marriage visa so they assume other countries have similar rules. Even if they are not planning to live in the UK they need a visa to marry there. You need a visa there just for the marriage to be legal. So that often leads to confusion.

 

None of us was born knowing all this. We are all on a learning curve. 

Some of us have traveled more than the other and hence have learned more.

 

I stand by my opinion.
