Complications for Fiancee being Abroad?

[audelair]

Hello,

 

I have read many of the FAQ's available for the K1 Visa. I think I

have everything covered except for one possibly minor factor.

 

I am a US citizen (living in the US) and my fiancee is a Chinese

citizen currently going to school in Australia. Is there going to be

any difficulty in performing the K1 Visa process while she is abroad?

Or is it easier for her to deal with it while living in her hometown in

China? Also, I plan on moving to a different state in a few months,

even though I would like to start the Visa process ASAP. I would then

have to update information on my place of residence halfway through the

K1 Visa process. Is this likely to cause problems?

 

I also understand that the medical interview and examination needs to be performed at designated hospitals, located in the major cities in China. Is it absolutely necessary to do this at these designated hospitals, or would she be able to do it in Australia? Another possibility, she will be in Guangzhou next month, but there is no way we can get the petition approved and get her K1 visa documents ready in time for the medical exam. Is there a way for her to do her medical exam before we even apply for the K1 Visa? After next month, she will be in Australia and it seems it will be hard for us to take care of all of this while she is there.

 

Has anyone had any experience with this or have any advice on the best

way to go about this?

 

Thanks for any advice you might have!

i not sure but someone said if you marry you can file in the country you marry in, think australia has a faster process time. might consider the k-3 route. if she in Australia I go that route.

Immigrate to OZ?

 

Depends on what you have to offer in terms of skills, age and other factors. If you are on the preferred occupations list, then it's certainly fast.
