Umm... so where will the interview take place?

I am a dual citizen of USA and Hong Kong, and my spouse is a citizen of Hong Kong.

I and my spouse were married in New Zealand because we are not allowed to have same-sex marriage in Hong Kong.

According to the US Visas website "a foreign citizen who marries a U.S. citizen outside the U.S. must apply for the K-3 visa in the country where the marriage took place."

Does that mean we have to travel back to New Zealand to apply for a K-3 Visa? What about IR1 visa?

I have heard that the petitoner must be the sponsor of the applicant.

On the other hand， the sponsor must be residing in the US.

I am confused

I have been working abroad for the past few years， and i want to move back to the US with my spouse.

Do I have be the main sponsor of my spouse? ( i am not residing in the US now.)

Can my parents be the main sponsors of my spouse? (They are residing in the US)

I am a US citizen and my spouse is a Hong Kong citizen.

We were married in New Zealand last year because we cant have same marriage in Hong Kong.

I want to apply a CR-1 visa for my spouse.

The problem is that we both live in Hong Kong.

Will the interview take place in New Zealand or where we are living now?
