Hi everyone! I received my passport with my K-1 visa and an envelope yesterday. But I also got some further instructions that said that they recommend me to get "Permission for Permanent Residence Abroad" while I'm still in my home country. This paper would take me almost another month to get done..and I planned to go in the middle of March. But if it would cause me problems later, I would rather wait and do it now. Maybe somebody had experience with that too?  And do I absolutely need it? Or I can do it later through my Embassy in US?

It is much easier to get while you’re in KZ. I wish I got it there instead of dealing with this here in the US. Plus you’re facing a risk of not being let out of the country when you exit on your K1, I got lucky but I don’t recommend it.
 

This permission paper is something that the government of KZ requires for those moving to live permanently abroad. During exit checks at the airport, they can stop you from leaving the country without it and there’s nothing you can do. You’ll have to stay back and get the paper before attempting to leave again. 
 

I got it here at the KZ consulate but it took forever because the migration police sends it to the US via regular mail (Kaz pochta). The consulate told me it’s lost and “I should be okay to exit without it, they probably see it in the system “. Well that answer didn’t satisfy me so I pushed. They ordered another one and luckily it came but the back and forth was annoying.
 

It’s interesting they mentioned it at your interview; they haven’t at mine and I wonder if it’s because there’s been incidents of it being requested when exiting the country. I know some people who have been barred from exiting, they were DV applicants. 


Prepare to hand in your national ID whether you do it abroad or in the country. You won’t be able to have a National ID any longer and if you request it in the future be advised that you will lose the permission to live abroad and you’ll have to apply for it all over again.

yeah. that what I thought. They might ask me this. It wasn't mentioned on my interview, but they sent me some instructions with package with my passport. Thanks a lot. Seems like I have to do this first before leave the country.

Do you mean my Udostoverenie? I should hand it before I leave too?

Yes that’s the one. When you fill out the application the migration police will take it. In my case the KZ consulate took it
