Hi everyone!

I'm going through the K-1 process with my fiancee and I've encountered a rather unique issue that I was hoping someone here might be able to advise me on.

Our lawyer said that the consulate would request some form of certificate or proof of military service since I checked that I had it when filing the initial batch of documents.

My issue lies in the fact that my military service was 5 months in the French Foreign Legion boot camp, after finishing boot camp I decided to return home rather than sign on for 5 years.

I have written an email to the French embassy, who told me that they are unable to help and that I must write an email to the Foreign Legion head office, which I did and got no response. I wrote to their recruitment office email and got the following reply:

Forgive the wonky automated translation, but they said that it is not the responsibility of the recruitment office, but also that the legion does not provide such documents.

As a penultimate resort I have sent a physical letter to their HR department, but I'm not sure what to do if they don't reply.

Do I have to get on a plane and petition them in person, how can I prove that I've done everything in my power to obtain these documents when they don't really care to answer my email in a meaningful way, their response doesn't really scream official does it?

The lawyer said that if I can prove such an effort I can request a waiver for that specific requirement, but I would not resort to such a thing if I can help it.

It just seems like a very specific situation and I'm not sure how to proceed.

I greatly appreciate any replies!

A few couples have mentioned they were pressured into paying bribes for "express" services on the police background checks for their K1 fiance in Bangkok. Has anyone experienced this lately? Were you able to avoid paying bribes and still get your fiance's police clearance in a timely manner? Or did you cave and pay them what they demanded.....

I checked my nvc tracker and it was issued but yesterday it changed to ready. I dont know what it means and Im getting anxious. I tried to call the hotline of usem manila but they wont give me any direct answer but just to wait. They also wont give me any extension number to the usem to properly address my queries. Im getting depressed because the other I know of already got their visas.

Hi all,

It's just more of a quick query really, is it best to send the form to P.O Box or is it okay or better/same to send it via Fedex?
