Hi!

I assume you changed your name at the social security admin after you got married, before you filed the applications? 

I did the same thing, but haven’t heard back from USCIS yet. Our file date is Nov 24th.

What was the RFE for the AP about, if I may ask?

Hi everyone, maybe someone can answer this. My fiance and I will be coming to the U.S together once approved. Are we able to stop in a different country and vacation there, then fly over to the U.S? I am not sure how strict the guidlines for a k1 visa are. I do however know that once he enters, he is not allowed to exit and come back in until he gets his green card.

Thanks in advance.

Hi! I had the same question and e-mailed the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) INFO Center. This was their answer:

"Travel to a different country does not affect the K1 visa.  You can enter the US from any country with the K1 visa.  When you enter the US you have to get married within 90 days and then apply to change status.  You need to get Advance Parole or a US permanent resident card before you leave the US."

Hope this was helpful :-)
