Does anyone know if the K-1 VISA allows the fiance to take off from Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) instead of an airport in mainland China? I heard that they are allow to do so and stay in Hong Kong for at most 7 days, but have yet to find the source of that information. Or does the fiance need to have a separate valid permit to enter Hong Kong to board a flight at HKG? Thank you

I was wondering when the original notarial certificate of birth (instead of a photocopy) is needed again once the VISA is approved, and if so, about how many are needed. I am in California and I have been checking online on different situation where it might be needed, but there seems to be none. What are some situations where it is needed again? Some situations I checked that I don't think the notarial certificate of birth is needed: Marriage Certificate, ID Card, SSN, Permanent Status, Driver's License, Passport. Thanks in advance.

Thank you!

Hello, We received an email notice from the Guangzhou US consulate and registered at ustraveldocs.com. We were able to pay the fee and schedule an interview. However, in various places, the instruction mentions that there should be a "K1 instruction packet" that we should have received. From what I understand, that should be a packet listing the specific approved centers for medical examination. We never received that packet, but I googled and found a PDF listing the location of 4 centers. I don't know whether what I googled was the latest information, and I was wondering what else were in that packet. Does anyone have a link to that packet? I am also asking the consulate this question. Thanks in advance.
