Q: my fiance is illegal in France. Will he need to go back to his country for me to file a K1 visa?Im a us citizen
I am a us citizen, we have met several times. We want to get married soon so we can be together but I am not sure that it is possible since he is illegal. He cannot go back to his country because it is not safe. He has a valid passport. Is it possible to file a k1/get married in France so he can join me here?Will the embassy need him to go bck to his country?
A: You have more issues than just what country he would interview in. When someone violates the immigration laws of another country, our government expects that they will do the same here. Even if you are qualified in every way, his overstay in France may prevent you from getting any type of visa, whether it be a K1 or based on marriage. You should definitely contact an experienced immigration attorney to help you with your case.
