K1 visa returning to country of residence
Ok. So me and my partner have decided to do the fiancé visa. I just don’t want to be away from my husband but I could be away from my fiancé.
I know now that this visa means I can’t work but I plan on returning and working my ass off!
im still in the USA now and I will be leaving before my visa ends.
I would like to know..
My country of residence is Uk however I’ve lived in Norway for a long time and if I return over seas I would like to go back to Norway for my happiness.
Id like to return to Norway whilst the visa is being processed to work and live and save money!
Is is this possible ?
My mail can still go to the same place as usual, and I’m thinking that’s why it says country of residence?
I can always return to collect mail and also fly to London for medical, that’s no issue, but I do not want to return to Uk for 8 -12 months if I can stop it.
I would also also like some advice on our visa.
My fiancé is in USA and he will be applying to bring me over.
Does he need a lawyer or is the process straight forward?
We will have financial sponsor however we want to to the visa by our selves.
Is this possible?
Thank you for all your responses

Why not interview in Norway?

Re: K1 visa returning to country of residence
Hope you plan on working your ass off in Norway before the K-1 visa is issued. Once the K-1 visa is in your passport and you enter the US, you are landlocked until you get your employment authorization document (EAD) and advance parole (A/P). They are usually both on the same card.

In fact, you can have your fiancé insert the US Consulate in the appropriate city in Norway for your intended visa interview. It doesn't have to be in the UK if you have legal right to reside in Norway.

Re: K1 visa returning to country of residence
Why did you need a visa to enter the US? As a Brit you should have used the Visa Waiver Program. Did you complete the ESTA for approval to use the VWP. Or do you have a criminal history that doesn't allow you to use the VWP.
I’m squeaky clean
Of course it is possible. You can live anywhere in the world that allows you to reside. The one place you cannot live and wait out the timeline for the Fiancee Visa is in the US. It will take 10 to 16 months for completion. In fact, you can have your fiancé insert the US Consulate in the appropriate city in Norway for your intended visa interview. It doesn't have to be in the UK if you have legal right to reside in Norway.
Country of residence is the country you are living in. For you that is Norway so you would put your address in Norway.
99% of us did it ourselves.
Why do you need a financial sponsor other than your fiancé? Does he not work?
(Just my thoughts) he also has criminal records from his past which I know won’t effect the visa but it does hold him accountable now in progression of career, and one of them is still being proceed so.. (nothing crazy, he just made stupid decision and has to pay for it)

His criminal past can be an issue.

Re: K1 visa returning to country of residence
90 day tourist visa... Please elaborate? Are you sure it isn't the visa waiver program?
Regarding criminal record, elaborate on that too. Could make this a non-DIY case...

Re: K1 visa returning to country of residence
There's no such thing as a 90-day tourist visa. There is a B1/B2 visa which actually gets stuck on a page in your passport which allows up to 6 months in the USA, or there is the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) which allows 90 days in the USA without the need for a visa. In order to use the VWP, you first need to complete and get approved an ESTA travel authorization. Since you mention 90 days, I'm guessing you used the VWP, and there was no visa. I am being picky on this because you will have to learn that terminology is very important in the immigration world. and you need to learn the correct terms.
Does he have to fly to Norway for interview or is that just for me?
I have enough money myself, but my partner works as a waiter and is transitioning into another position. He earns 20k but I feel like financial sponsors would also pack our case.

Re: K1 visa returning to country of residence
Norway would not have self sponsorship and in the UK it is not 3x. Seems to be what you need for 90 days.

As for HIS criminal record, depending on the crime(s), he might have a problem. At most, if they are crimes of abuse, you will be notified of his criminal record.

Only through the Consulates in the UK.

Re: K1 visa returning to country of residence
Your fiancé's criminal record will impact your K-1 application because of the International Marriage Brokers Regulation Act (IMBRA).
As is common with US legislation, not all clauses of the law are directly linked to the name of the law, and the fact that you might not have used a "marriage broker" doesn't alter the fact that some clauses of the law will be pertinent to your visa application.
