Good afternoon all,
I am an Australian citizen, my wife is American. We, like a lot of you, have some very complex circumstances. Please advise if you know how to proceed.
My (then) fiancee and I filed an I-129F form in June in the US. Approved in Sept.
We could not get an Australian consulate interview before our wedding (in the US), so we married in November with me entering legally on a Visa waiver.
Now we're back in Australia (so as not to overstay my visitor status) to finish paperwork. We have been told that we cannot continue with the fiancee (K-1) visa since we are married. But we have not been told what TO file.
Is K-3 appropriate? Do we need to file the I-129F again after an I-130? When can we legally enter the US together? And if we're already married, do I need to have medical evaluations done, or consular interviews in Australia before we leave, or in the US?
We're just so confused. And ready to hire an immigration lawyer, so if you know of good ones who can work over skype or email, let us know that too.
Sincerely,
Dewi
