Hi, my fiancee is Chinese even though she was born and lives in Vietnam. She lives in a Chinese neighborhood and her family only speaks Cantonise. She was denied her K1 visa because I only visited her 1 time. The less you visit the better your fiancee's English has to be to pass, so her anwsers to the questions werent fluent enough. I didn't find this out until afterwords otherwise I would have moved heaven and earth to travel there more I just believed what the attorny told me that I could hold off on the trip until she got the visa because it was 100% in the bag. We were denied with a 221 g bonafide however the k1 visa expired and I was told by my senators case worker I could refile. She had a consult with a well known attorny in Ho Chi Minh that suggested we marry and file a K3 and that is what I plan to do provided I can get the time off to do it. Our love is true and pure we talk everyday however I do worry about several things because Ho Chi Minh has a high denial rate. I plan to travel there 6 months after the wedding for 2 weeks and again for the interview. I could travel there an extra time if I was only going to stay for 1 week instead of 2. Will the frequency of the trips help since her english will still not be fluent or will she have to be perfect since it is a k3 interview not a k1? I have seen others get denied after upgrading there visa's to a K3 and worry because the husband and wife are both Asian and fluently speak the same language so if they cannot pass I fear for us even more.We were told by a Vietnam lawyer friend of hers before we started to do the K1 instead of the K3 because of her Enlgish. I have googled several k3 interview questions on the internet and my fiancee can give those anwsers just fine but with some language imperfections.Despite us not being fluent in a common language and I know a big part is not the anwsers but its how she anwsers them and the person doing the interview. Do they expect us to know each other as they would if I lived with her after we got married or do they take into consideration that we live appart? What should we do to give us the best chance of success? Should I quit my job and move to Vietnam for a year until she gets her interview? should we wait until she is fluent in English that might never happen unless she moves here? She told me most of the people coming out of the consulate with pink slips have a baby so she thinks that would be our best bet, I do want to have a baby with her but I don't want to do it over there. She met a person that was a translator with the consulate and for 3k has offered to go with her to the interview and translate for her and prepare her for the interview I do think that would help her get comfortable with the whole process but if the anwsers sound rehearst they could fail her because of that. Is there any big mistakes I need to be aware of like something I should do or something I should not do? Thanks for any help you can provide
