K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespassport photo
In Croatia, they return any and all photos that are not the American passport standards. At the Embassy level, of course, but we made sure to send the right ones even with our petition. Photographers here know what they need to do when you mention the American passport size, so it's easy to obtain the right one.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresB-2 Tourist Visa denials... it's complicated !!
I have a K1 visa in my passport (you can find my embassy/interview review in my timeline) and, prior to that, I had FOUR B2 visa denials. Three out of four times, they didn't know I had a boyfriend/fiance in the US. He was the person (or once his mother) I intended to visit, though), who I had listed on my DS-156. They asked no specific questions and I therefore provided no specific answers. The last time, we had our K1 pending, so we were honest about the purpose of my trip (both of us attended the last B2 interview) - we said I wanted to go to the US during my days off, to simply spend some time with my fiance. This particular denial was outright related to the K1. Others were a lot more random, mostly related to bad luck.

During our K1 interview, the previous B2 denials were mentioned, but they actually served as proof of our relationship.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed your Experties Pls
I'll explain this by using the knowledge about marriages in Croatia, religious or civil. Here, if a religious ceremony is performed (I am, however, unsure if it can be only Catholic church, since we're mostly a Catholic country, or any other, as well) and the couple HAS intention of getting married legally (as in, registered with the system), you need to supply an additional document and, once the ceremony is over, and the couple is married under the religious law, the said document needs to be brought to a civil wedding clerk. Only then the marriage becomes legal and registered with the country and its laws.

Religious ceremonies are often performed regardless of the civil ones - sometimes, couples have already been married for a while, sometimes, because of their whatever wishes and plans, the religious one happens first. The most common route, however, is to get it all done at once. If the additional document is forgotten, the said marriage, regardless of any and all religious laws, is not valid in the eyes of the law of the Republic of Croatia. Legally, it's nonexistent and the couple has never married.

So, as I see it, if you managed to forget, for whatever reason, to register your religious marriage with the UK authorities, you're not legally married and it makes sense your petition was denied. USCIS doesn't and won't recognize a marriage that's not already been recognized by the country in which the wedding took place. At the same time, to make the whole process a bit more complicated, a religious marriage can be a problem, too, if it's used as evidence of an ongoing relationship during a K1 process.

I'm sorry I don't have advice for the actual problem, though. I think you should register your marriage in the UK and then re-file the same petition. Applying for a K1, having already tried to apply for a spouse visa, sounds a lot more complicated and smells of misrepresented evidence or the like. Had you not filed already, a fiance application could have been the right way to go (since you're not legally registered as a married couple). Under these circumstances, I, personally, wouldn't want to deal with having to explain that my-used-to-consider-him-a-husband is, all of a sudden, just a fiance.

Good luck!

Other then having the documents in hand the only other thing you can make sure of is to let the embassy know that the beneficiary has an immediate need to travel. Hopefully he's done that already by putting an early date on the visa forms for the expected travel date. That way there is a chance that after they award the visa he'll get it almost immediately. At least that was how the consulate in london worked. This was per an official there who stated it can make the difference from waiting a day to waiting two weeks for the passport to be issued with the visa. However all consulates work differently so who knows, for all I know columbia may always issue them next day.

Croatia issues them just one day after the interview, but they couldn't really care less about the date on your DS-156 form, or whatever it's called. I left the field blank because, at that point, I had no idea when I'd be leaving. When I pointed that out, they said it wasn't important at all, because DS-156's fields mostly don't apply to K visas, anyway.


I don't really think there's much you can do about getting your visa sooner. Once you have your NOA2 and can get in contact with the respective Embassy, you can see if they can schedule an as-early-as-possible interview. Everything else will be just as random as anyone else's case.

I'm not from Canada, but from Croatia (which is nowhere as close, or that similar) and the reason I wasn't allowed to enter the US was the fact we had a K1 pending at the time. They had it in the system and they nicely told us to just wait it out.

Of course, it's worked for many other couples, from many other places in the world, including Canada.

First, we managed to postpone our interview by an entire month, pretty much. My visa was issued on April 8th and I'm still here in Croatia, just about now getting ready to hop on a plane (in a couple weeks). There were many things that needed to be settled here, before my moving to the States.

As long as your case is hands of USCIS, NVC or a Consulate/Embassy, nothing will expire.

NVC can take a lot longer than just one month, too. You will have time to get all your paperwork done or, if that fails, you can always ask for the interview to be rescheduled.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresplease help me about visa 1 i have some question
There is a difference between insulting and/or judging people because of the age difference, considering the gap a problem for god knows what reasons, or simply stating the fact that it might affect the outcome of a visa process, especially in certain countries and their respective high-fraud embassies.

Nobody here was saying that the OP's, or anyone else's relationship was not genuine and I am fairly sure that nobody cares. It's just that it MIGHT be a problem at the Embassy in Morocco. Just like it might be a problem in China or [name another hard-to-pass-the-interview consulate].

Being basically forced to explain one's relationship to the greatest of details in front of some CO is another problem, too and has next to nothing to do with the OP's original question.

Needless to say that marrying someone from Canada or Australia is a lot easier than marrying someone from those already mentioned high fraud countries. In terms of immigration, that is.

Thank you all of you. Now I know what we have to face but I dont think he will have any problem showing this ties to Sweden because of his house and properties. So, this is making me feel little bit better about the future. We do love each other but we cant decide where to live just yet.

The house and other property might not really mean all that much - he owns them right now, too, and he is in the US, where he came with the intent to get married.

You will probably have to rely on a Swedish job, or something along the lines of that. The fact that your fiance has you in the US will work 'against' him every time he gets to a POE.

You do not need to call anyone. Actually, you can't. It's all up to your fiance to prove his ties to Sweden when he'll be coming back to the US to visit you.

If you're choosing the marriage/AOS route, there is nobody but your local government center you need to call - all you need is a marriage licence and an appointment with a court administrator/priest.

Umm I didnt think is going to be this complicated I guess I was wrong ;o( Well, we only got a week to go before he have to leave and it just too late for us to even think about AOS. Ah! what can I do now? I wish I knew this earlier. So, he cant come back anytime soon? He had a house and about 100 acers of land, so he does have ties to Sweden.

It's not too late for anything. All you need to do for your fiance to LEGALLY stay in the country is to get married before the visa expires. For that, you still have time. Once you're married you can start thinking about, as well as working on AOS.

If you stick to your decision to not get married at this time, you'll have to be aware of the fact that he might not be let into the country right away.

He doesnt like life in US too much. He came from a small town in Sweden to come to NYC just little too much for him to handle. I want him to move here so we both can work and make a living. If i move there I will not be able to work right away from I dont speak nor write in Swedish. So, we decide not to marry.

I am not sure I fully understand your plans, but the way I see them, they do not seem to make much sense, or in other words, they are likely to not happen that way.

Once your fiance leaves the US and this current K1 visa expires he will not be able to come back to the country without:
a) using Visa Waiver Program - this might simply fail because of his K-1 history;
b) applying and being issued another visa (immigrant or non-immigrant)

Either way, your Swedish fiance can't just come to the US and start working. For that, he needs either a work visa, or a work permit once he is admitted to the US.

To be sarcastic I guess I could translate a real estate document into a divorce document. Who would know? Oh yes the Notary Stamp....................that person wouldn't know either.

Just thinking out loud............

Well, I don't know how it works somewhere else, but here in Croatia we have notary publics, but also court translaters (there's also some other term for that, but it escapes me at the moment) who are in charge of translating any and all documents that are to be used for purposes like this. Their stamp is the same as a notary's, except that, well, they're fluent in languages they translate to, or from.

A document translated from or to any language, by, say, me and stamped by a notary public would not be considered valid in these parts of the world. Even if it's a language insanely similar to Croatian that most of us here speak or read with no problems at all.

I guess "UNKNOWN" would be an appropiate (and truthful) answer for that question...Not knowing where your mother is shouldn't be an issue...

As much as I remember, on the form, no one is asking WHERE THE PERSON IS, but instead their name. Unknown would be appropriate, then, if the person didn't know their mother's name. If location is unknown, the mother still has a name, doesn't she?

Unless, of course, I fail to remember that there was a question asking for parents' location. Which I really think did not exist.

The point is moot if you cannot obtain a tourist visa. Many can. For them the issue can be a major one.

It's moot no matter what.

One thing is to advise something - I wouldn't advocate breaking the law, or even getting into something shady. I like to play safe (and obviously enjoy paying for it since, well, safe and honest in life, not just here, don't mean you'll actually get treated the way you're supposed to).

So regardless of obtaining or not obtaining a visitor visa, the point is just simply poot. It's you against a CO/whoever. And they win. It's just a matter of a fact what they'll choose to 'believe'.

You can prove if you've been convicted of a crime. You can prove if you're legally married. Or if you've been to a country (for the most part). But you really can't prove your thoughts or intentions. Someone has to buy, or not buy your story.

If a person came her and said...

I met my spouse while there were visiting and we decided to get married. Can they just adjust status?

or...

My girlfriend came for a two month visit and when it was time for her to go home, we decided we couldn't stand to be apart anymore and got married. Can she just adjust status?

...I would say yes because, in both cases there was no illegal intent. So, yes people legitimately adjust status from tourist visas fairly often.

The OP's question was more like...

We want to get married next summer. Can my girlfriend/boyfriend just use their tourist visa, come over and marry me and then adjust status?

...to which I would answer, "HELL NO!"

See the difference?

Examples like this keep bothering me, in a way. Why? Well, because there is no way in hell a CO (I would assume POE person, or whoever handles AOS kind of things, etc.) would know, or actually even bother to TRY to figure out what I meant, or what who wanted, or didn't want, or had or didn't have intention to.

Again, I can't use but my own example: I've been denied a visitor visa three times so far (waiting to get denied once more on Monday). Why? Because nobody there cared what I think, want, plan or don't plan or, what's even more important, what I had to show them as proof of really wanting to come back to Croatia. They just f'n didn't care. The person behind the kiosk decided to believe I wanted to immigrate and do god knows what, with who knows where.

So how, exactly, is this different? If I go there and run into a stranger and get married I can stay? Probably. How do I prove the said person was a stranger? I don't, really. Unless they decide to buy whichever story I might come up with. Which they may, and of course, may not.

If I choose b) how do I prove I didn't want to do that when I first entered the States? Again, I don't. Same thing. They buy it, or they don't. By which, again, I mean they have their own little story in their own little heads and it doesn't matter at all what I'll have to say.

If I choose c) who, exactly, would know? People here, if I post it? I'll have moral problems with the decision? I doubt they can really scan my brain somehow to get that kind of information.

So, if you ask me, yes, there is what's considered legal and illegal, for sure. But if you think about practice, not just theory, the point is moot.

It's often a mistake to conclude something you don't understand is random. This is one of those cases.



Out of curiousity, what would you think of two sisters who live with their parents, parents are both doctors and well off financialy, both sisters are gainfully employed, no relatives in the US or any who have ever been in the US. One sister applies for a tourist visa and is denied. Several months later, the other sister applies and the visa is issued.

I would not be surprised at all, even if it happened in one day, case after case, instead of within several months. Again, I've seen it happen.

If it's about some magic words you can say at the interview, what is it, then, the whole process, other than a pile of randomness?

They just don't care about what you have to say, or what kind of documents you have to present. All you get from them here is random, senseless stuff. And they know next to nothing about the country they work in, or the people they are supposed to be judging.

All interviews here at the Embassy are being conducted in front of a glass window. You can listen to them all. It's random. Lottery. It's just that the ticket costs $131.


It's not the process I'm referring to when I say, "don't understand". Although you may have listened to the some interviews, you didn't see the files from which the Consular Officer was working or know the details of the cases. Often, what appears random on the surface is actually far from it, when the details are disclosed.

I,ve heard and seen more than enough to know that it's nothing but a giant pile of - random.

I wish I could figure out what applies to Croatian people. The whole system is so random it.. just really makes no sense.

We'll see less than a week, I guess.


It's often a mistake to conclude something you don't understand is random. This is one of those cases.
