Hello everyone,

To update, I was approved without RFE.

Not sure how much sending USCIS a copy of my misdemeanor helped, but always a great news for passing without RFE.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Thank you all for all the Information and support.

This helped me. Thank you & congratulations on your approval

If one of you is a US Citizen, consider marrying online via Utah online weddings.  From that point on you are already legally married in the eyes of the US, and you can apply for spousal visa CR-1.

Thank you, but I’ll only do that if we don’t get approved. It’ll be my last resort

My husband is from Indonesia, a majority Muslim country where same sex marriage it's not an option.  We applied for a K1 visa and outside of the normal processing timelines we had no issues whatsoever and the K1 was granted.  He came tot he US and we got married in Houston, unfortunately for reasons outside of our control, he had to return to Indonesia during the AOS process before anything had been approved, so, I had to then reapply for a CR1, spousal visa and that took 2 years until the spousal visa was approved and he eventually came back to the US, this time with a 10 year green card.  You will not have any issues whatsoever with the US Embassy if you follow and comply with all the requirements of the K1 visa.  Good luck.    

So happy to hear that everything worked out for you guys! Thank you so much for your feedback.

We are worried too so we got a lawyer to help with our process, but keep in mind from what I've heard you will be interviewed from a US immigration officer and because same sex marriage is legal in the US, they can't deny your visa due to your sexual orientation. hope this helps! good luck!

Thank you. I do understand that, I just wanted to know how everyone else’s journey has gone. He is in India, which is a high fraud country, so I was concerned how they’d treat him. He’s very sensitive

Not my area of expertise but, what is your specific concern?

I just want to know what the process was like for same sex couples applying for the K1 Visa, particularly with fiancés in countries that don't allow Same Sex Marriage.

Process will be exactly the same as for straight couples. Find a country you can get married in, or have you already filed the K1? 

I have already filed the K1, but we're both worried because he comes from a country that doesn't accept same sex relationships. 

My fiancé is a citizen of India so obviously we can’t get married over there, but I am looking for information from other same sex couples that have beneficiaries from countries that don’t allow same sex marriage. What was the process like for you?
