Ask the Consul
If I married my fiancé(e) (K-1), what happens to the case?
If you have filed an I-129F petition for a K-1 visa for
your fiancé(e) and then proceeded to married him/her, the immigrant visa (IV)
Unit cannot interview you as if you were still engaged.
Now that you are married, you must file an I-130 petition
for your spouse (CR-1 visa). As soon as the National Visa Center notifies you
that they have received your approved petition from the Department of Homeland
Security Service Center, you may contact the call center to request an interview
as a married couple. Please visit the following link for information on how to
contact the call center:
http://www.usemb.gov.do/Consular/iv-s-contact.htm. The Consular Section
understands the fact that you have already waited for the K-1 interview and will
schedule your interview for a CR-1 visa as soon as possible.
Carefully read the instructions from the National Visa
Center regarding preparing for your interview for the CR-1 visa. Although some
of the documents required for the CR-1 visa for a spouse are the same as those
for the K-1 visa for a fiancé(e), some are different. For example, the
interview for a CR-1 visa for your spouse requires an Affidavit of Support, Form
1-864, with supporting documents.
Remember! It is up to
you to let us know that the National Visa Center has received an approved CR-1
petition for your spouse.
