Hi, I am a Canadian citizen working and studying in the UK. We plan to file the application for the K-1 visa while I am in the UK, are there any complications/extra headaches around applying for this visa while the beneficiary is living abroad?

I work in the UK on my EU (Czech) passport, but I would like that visa in my Canadian passport, so that I can enter the US as a Canadian. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Can someone please advise?

Thank you!

Thank you so much Zedayn!

Hi all,

Please bear with me as I explain this two-part question.

1. I am a Canadian working and studying in the UK. We plan to file the application for the K-1 while I am in the UK, are there any complications/extra headaches around applying for this visa while living abroad? I work in the UK on my EU (Czech) passport, but I would like that visa in my Canadian passport, so that I can enter the US as a Canadian.

2. Please don't judge me here: it's our second time applying for the k-1 visa. Quick background: we met in school in Europe in 2009, and this September we will have been together for five years (we lived together for 2 years overseas). I entered the UK on my K-1 visa (obtained from Vancouver consulate) in October 2013, and it was probably the worst timing ever for us. He lost his job and was unemployed, i was accepted into a graduate program in the UK, and we are both career-driven people (there were a few personal things too that we have since worked out), and so we decided that it was not the best time for us. So I left (after 2 months) and informed the Vancouver consulate. Looking back, I am not sure it was the best decision, but we have to live with it now.

We want to time this visa so that it coincides with me finishing school the summer of 2015.

Can anyone please advise if USCIS/immigration will look at us unfavouably? Is there a greater chance of getting denied at the POE? The visa is with the same person, we are pretty straight forward (no kids, no divorce, he makes enough etc...)

Thank you for reading this long-winded query and any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Just FYI -- we never got married.

Hi,

I entered the US on a K-1 Visa in November. Due to discovering his continuous infidelity, I returned to Canada six weeks later. What, if anything, do I need to do to let USCIS/Vancouver consulate know that I left the country?

Thank you in advance for the information.
