Hello everyone! I wanted to ask some specific questions regarding K-1 that I could not find when researching, maybe I did not look hard enough. I am just now trying to get started on the process and still have lots to learn.
1. I became a U.S citizen when I was 16 when my parents became a citizen and I do not have a certification of citizenship, I just have a passport. On the K-1 form it asks about how I became a citizen and if I have the certificate number, does not putting anything there hurt my application?
2. Speaking of passport, my passport (U.S) expires in March 2021, can I still file even if my passport will expire next year? And if so, can I immediately renew my passport after mailing the K-1 form? Or will this mess up the process on their end?
3. I know the K-1 visa will take a very long time, but lets say after 3-4 month from filling, would it be okay for me to go where my fiance lives (Turkey) and stay with here there for a few month so we can then come back to U.S together when and if she gets approved? I would need to take a leave of absence from work so I am not sure if that will have any affect?
Thank you all in advance for the help, if you have any tips or useful information I would really appreciate it!
