Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Visa Waiver Program
My fiance has a round trip ticket and WILL be returning to Germany - I will be following him and 'moving' approximately 2 weeks to a month later. He is not coming to the US on business, however he will be on business in Frankfurt after our wedding (which is why I am planning on moving AFTER he gets back)...

This is a tricky situation because I definitely want to be honest and we are not doing any illegal but I also do not want it all to be a huge hassle - especially since we have everything planned for our wedding.

Any additional advice on what to say at POE?

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Visa Waiver Program
I am leaving a couple of weeks later - He will be on business so I am planning on going once I'm able to move my things into our apartment. I will book my flight and give him that information as well.

I just thought of another thing... I'm was planning on booking a round trip since they are less expensive and then not taking the returning leg - I don't know how this would play into things.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Visa Waiver Program
His letter from his employer has the date that he will be returning to work as well as contact information - he will have his return flight as well ... is there anything else people can think of us bringing as 'proof?'

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Visa Waiver Program
I am wondering if anyone has gotten married using the Visa Waiver Program (your fiance comes to the US with appropriate documentation stating they will be returning home), you get married, and move to their homeland.

My fiance and I are doing this and I just wondered if anyone encountered any issues in doing so or if there are other documents besides a letter from his employer and lease agreements that he should be bringing along.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks so much!!

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Apostille for Germany from US
I am wondering how many copies I should have 'apostilled' of my marriage license and birth certificate. I know that it is going to better to have more than less but if someone has already been there and done this do you have any advice?

I don't know if most places will accept a notarized marriage license and birth certificate or if they are wanting the apostille as well. I have 2 weeks before I move to Munich and I wanted to get this rolling!

Thanks everyone!

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Making the 85 Euro payment before interview / Germany
Although I would be filing for the K3 and not the K1 I assume that the payment procedures would be similar if not the same.

My husband and I were trying to figure out if we would pay using a US Cheque or how that works. I did not see the website that you mentioned about paying for things. (we are also in Germany, although we are in Munich).

Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresApplying for K3 while living in UK with husband. Please help.
My husband and I are also in this mess... one question that you have not brought up that I am curious about is how you make your payment for your visa. Do you bring US cheques and use those or do they take some other currency (namely Euros or in your case pounds?).

We are planning on staying here in Germany for some time, however we want to get the visa stuff out of the way so when the chance arrises (say through his job) we would have the option to go back with out additional hassles of paperwork and extra things.

Please keep us updated on your progress - it is really helpful! I will do the same as soon as I have any extra info!

Thanks!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow far in advance can I file?

So, to understand you two live in Germany. Then the best process for you is DCF, you file the petition to USCIS Frankfurt and all the process will take approximative 5-6 months. In the moment you have your immigrant visa in your passport, you have 6 months to move to the States. You are not planning to move in one year do not start the process.
All the best for you.


Thank you for your help - that is the way I understood it as well. I just wanted to clarify and get things rolling ASAP since I know this is a hassle and a half.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow far in advance can I file?
I am an American married to a German (living in Germany) and we were starting to file the visa paperwork.

We are not planning to move back to the states for a couple of years but wanted to have things done for when they were needed. Upon reviewing the papers it was slightly vague as to how long we had to move to the states.

My question is - is there are time limit in the amount of time we have after we file?

Thank you for your help!
