On the paperwork you list London for embassy and the UK as country.

So anytime it asks for country I shall just use "UK".

Thank you Jewel!

Citizenship is British.

Thank you for that as I would have listed 'Welsh'!

My fiance is Welsh. We are just beginning the process of paperwork and I am wondering if under 'country' if I should list Wales or UK? What has everyone else done in the past?

Thanks

Yes, perfectly fine (and in fact recommended) to just go the CR-1 route.

Thank you for confirming this for me.

I have not filed anything yet but am planning to file forms I-130 and G-325A for a CR1. Is it ok that I do NOT submit the I-129F for a K3 now? I will be submitting in August 2010. Thanks.

You probably should read what London says about it so you know what they accept. It's on this page

Hi, thank you, yes I did read that but it was still slightly unclear to me.

Hi, my UK fiance is adopted. He only has his adoption certificate and no long form birth certificate. The instructions I've read in the guides here appear to say an adoption certificate is a 2nd form of ID. Has anyone here experienced using their adoption certificate INSTEAD OF a long form birth certificate?

Thanks

Thanks once again for taking the time to answer my question Pay

I seem to have a new question each day.

If we get married in the US and my husband returns to the UK as we plan, does this mean when it comes time for his visa interview, will he be able to do that in London?

I just read on another site "If choosing to marry your sweetheart outside his/her country, you must remember that this will be the country your spouse will have to go to for the visa interview!"

If that's the case, how would he get back into the US to do the interview in the first place?

Thanks again for any responses.

If you want only tho apply for the CR-1 then DO NOT send in the I-129F. FWIW, the K-3 is nearly procedurally obsolete...

I had read the K3 wasn't really needed anymore, but wasn't sure if it was a requirement when filing for the CR1. Thank you for your response.

Hi again, new day and a new question.

I keep reading conflicting information about the K3 visa. I simply want to be able to apply for the CR1. Would we have to co-file for a K3 as well, by sending in a I-129F AND the I-130?

Agree with all of the above posts.

Depending on where you are married the wait for your marriage certificate may vary. We were able to get ours the day of our wedding and mailed in our petition within the week. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I just couldn't find anywhere that said if a marriage in the US would be valid for a CR1. I appreciate the help.

Hi I am new and this is my first post. I have read the guides and wiki and forum posts but can not find the answer to this question. I am a US citizen with a UK fiance. We can not afford for him to stay in the US without being able to work. He arrives here next month to visit me and we are considering getting married in the US while he is here and he would return to the UK after his visit. Then he can go back to his home and job in the UK. At that point could I file for a CR1? Can we get married in the US for a CR1 to be valid?
