So my Nicaraguan fiancée and I are getting married. She has her fiancée k-1 visa.

We are planning to have a wedding celebration at a church with family, friends and community in her country before she comes here. The pastor suggests we get married legally in Nicaragua now. Is it ok for us to get married legally in Nicaragua and then come to the States to get married? Right now, my fiancee has the Fiancee k-1 visa and I am concerned that getting married legally in Nicaragua would have repercussions upon leaving Nicaragua or entering the US.

Would there not be a problem marrying in Nicaragua first? I just would not want to have any surprises when she comes to the USA to marry me legally here. We are not planning to live in Nicaragua any time soon either.

Thanks for your help!

My Nicaraguan fiancée just received her fiancée visa in hand today. The date of issuance is February 15, 2017 and expiration date is June 12, 2017. We found the expiration date strange as we had understood that we would have 6 months for her to enter the United States under her fiancée K-1 Visa upon issuance of it.

We discovered that the June 12 date is 6 months from the day she had her medical appointment. We had planned for her to travel to the States with me at the end of June as we plan to celebrate with her family in Nicaragua prior to the official and legal wedding in the States come July.

Does anyone know if we can request a fiancée visa extension so she can remain in her home country for longer--even a month? We literally only would need 1 1/2 weeks longer on the visa expiration date to work with our plan.

Can the medical appointment be re-done? Any ideas what could be done?

Looking for answers.
