Agreed with other posters who are advising you to wait out the K-1 process, as you are already far advanced in the process.

 

It's not a good idea to get married online, which would not only nullify your K-1 application, but also create problems for your spousal visa application.

 

Since you mentioned you need to use up vacation time, why not meet your fiancée in a third country? People in the Philippines subforum have mentioned successfully travelling to Mexico and Brazil to meet up with their partners.

 

 

She has not even been able to get her passport yet, with the office so far from her and all the closings. Plus she has a young child that is not allowed to travel yet. Thanks for the advice.

I filed for k1 visa on March 3, 2020. My fiance is in the Philippines and I'm in the US. On September 21, they sent me an RFE. I replied to RFE on October 16. Havent recieved a response as of yet, so I will request update on December 15 (60 days after). The RFE was for evidence of bonafide relationship and I provided everything they requested in excess. 

Now, I am curious about getting married online while we are still separated by travel restrictions. The Philippines won't let me travel there because we are not married. I just read about getting married online as being legitimate and I have vacation planned for January that is use or lose. I would love to be able to go over there and wish now that we had gotten married while I was there in January/February. 

I'm pretty sure I understand that it would kill the k1 visa and I would have to start the process again as a spousal visa. Also, I'm going to wait for a response from USCIS before proceeding with this idea.

I would appreciate feedback as to if this is a good idea or not. I work full time and cant quit and move over there just yet, but I get 5 weeks vacation a year. I really do want to see her, but this would mean potentially more time separated as would need spousal visa instead.

I remember something about having to acknowledge that she is pregnant before the embassy will approve the visa.
