when you are talking about legalities and foreign governments, it is more complicated then married is married because it comes down to whether the US govt will accept the marriage document. On the other hand, they come to the US and get married, then married is married is clear and with an apostille, just about any first world country will accept married is married. the US has to accept the marriage document, which can be complicated in and of itself what the poster wants is to get the spouse into the US as fast as possible, enter on K-1 get married, its the same diff to the US govt as if you do a K-3 and bring them in that way. the switch to the K-3 may make the process take even longer, which nobody wants

Isn't it faster to let the K-1 stand and then just get married again in America at the court house? I am obviously out of date, but I considered both of these routes, and the K-1 was a bit faster back in 2016 then the K-3, once you are into it, isn't it just faster to wait out the K-1 experience?

I am confused? Is shifting to a K3 expected to speed anything up? What country? What do you mean by married? Is there a legal paper trail.

I am moving to Belgium with my family, where I already have a Residency permit. Due to the fact that my wife did not have a US passport, I waited to apply for her Visa/Permit My problem is that the Belgium government wants fresh birth certificates (less then six months old), I am currently getting a six month lead time to get those documents re-issued. I have no one in the US to help me, and I am not in the UA, and if I wait that long, all of my other documents are going to age out. Are there any reliable and reasonably priced services that will get these documents for me? Getting married again in Belgium is practicable, but the remaining issue is my daughters birth certificate.
