Background - I’m a US citizen, my fiance is a UK citizen. We’ve been living together in the UK for the past 6 years. We plan on getting married in September this year in the US. Fiance will be entering the US on a J1 for an internship (no 2 year residency requirement), and his internship finishes the week before the wedding. I will remain in the UK and fly to the US a few weeks before the wedding.
Is it acceptable to enter the US on a J1 with intent to get married while there? We will leave the US after the wedding to return to the UK.
On return to the UK, fiance will be finishing his PhD there. We would like to start applying for his US permanent residency while he is finishing his PhD so we can move to the US when it is finished. Does any of this intent to apply for a green card affect the previous point about entering the US on a J1? (Note: we will leave the US shortly after the wedding and return to the UK before applying for the green card).
Can we apply for his green card while we’re both living in the UK? How does the affidavit of support relate to that? (Does the US citizen need a job in the US?).
