if your fiance is in the Uk then its London England

Many thank-yous, my dear =)

I looked at that lol. He's not Australian =P

So how do I figure out which embassy in England he would send this supposed "visa application" to?

Forgot something on the I-129F.

Question 20. Your fiancé(e) will apply for a visa abroad at the American embassy or consulate at:

NOTE: (Designation of a U.S. embassy or consulate outside the country of your fiancé(e)'s last residence does not guarantee

acceptance for processing by that foreign post. Acceptance is at the discretion of the designated embassy or consulate.)

Where can I find this info?

I'm sure I already know the answer to this... but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway.

I just moved to a new apartment on May 1st and I'm still changing the address to about 5 billion things. I've finally gotten everything done and checked and checked again for my visa petition and reaaaally wanted to mail it tomorrow.

But my new checks haven't arrived yet.

Should I stop being impatient and just wait for my checks, or can I just cross out my old address on my other checks and write in my new one? I know I can get a money order but I'd really like to be able to see when they've put my payment through.

Thanks =)

I would think so, but he has to return to the UK to wait for interview and the like.

Yea... we kinda figured that part. I'm paranoid that the "visa police" are going to show up at my door and scold us or something =/

Thanks =)

My fiance is visiting next Friday for three weeks. I haven't mailed the visa application yet.

Is it okay to mail them while he's here?

My fiance's UK passport expires in 2009. If we are married and he gets his greencard, does he keep the British Passport or would he apply for an American one?

He wants to know if he should renew his passport before he moves here.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone! =)

So far I seem to only be scratching the surface of this process... but we gotta start somewhere, right? =)

silly question #1: If something on the application doesn't apply to us... do we leave it blank? Should we put N/A? Does it even matter? =/ (example - question #9 on the form asks for "names of prior spouses" ... but neither of us have been married before.)

silly question #2: Question #10 says "My citizenship was acquired through" and I'll be checking "Birth in the U.S." ... riiiight below that it says "give number of certificate, date and place it was issued" - that's my birth certificate info... right? What is a certificate of citizenship? Does that even apply to me?

silly question #3: Question 8b. says "A# (if any)" ... what IS that? =/

silly question #4: My full first name is Rebecca. Not many people call me Rebecca (besides, maybe, the Grandparents). Should I put my more common name (Becca) in "Other names used" (question 7)?

silly question #5: Question 18 says "Has your fiance met and seen you within the two-year period immediately receding the filing of this petition?" and then in the little paragraph below that... it says "describe the circumstances under which you met." Do i describe the times we met in the last two years.... or when we first met in person four years ago? Should I include the two years before that where we were email pen-pals?

Digressing - Have any of you looked through a guide titled Fiance & Marriage Visas: A Couple's Guide to U.S. Immigration by Ilona M. Bray? Is it worthy of the $35 I'd be spending on it? I was thinking a book on this stuff might be handy for all the little things we might get confused (and overly worried) about =)

Yeah... I mean when he's finally moved over here permanently. Someone keeps telling me he's going to have trouble finding a job because companies need some sort of contract to hire foreigners... even if they have a green card and a ssn.

Not too sure where she's getting her info. I wanted to check up on it just in case =/

Thanks for all the info here!

I've been hearing that whenever he does get here and goes to find a job... certain places won't hire him because hes not a U.S. citizen. If he has his permanent residence and his social security number do companies (even retail places like Best Buy or RadioShack just to start out) have restrictions for that?

I see that the CR-1 visa is much cheaper to apply for... but that he wouldn't be allowed to visit while it processes.

Would I be allowed to visit him in the UK instead?

My Fiance and I became engaged mid-October while I was visiting him in the UK. We've been discussing visa options for a good while now, but still aren't sure which one to pursue.

He's planning to visit in February, but we're wondering if the choice of visa could affect his visit. If I apply for a K-1 now, will he still be able to visit and stay for the 90 days? If we try for a K-3 and get married while he visits, would he have to leave as soon as the application was filed?

Thanks for the advice!
