1. It's not dificult if you have all of the right paper work and documents. It just takes quite some time in comparison to say the uk for example.Joelm2400 wrote:Ok another question. This time possibly a bit easier... I hope.
So I my mother agreed to be a joint sponsor so thats the money issue out of the way (i think it is anyway). I've been talking to an immigration lawyer and she said that if my fiancee comes to the country on a visa waiver that if we get married and she tries to change status that if they prove that the intent was to immigrate then it is fraud and my fiancee is banned from the US, of course this is a huge damper on any relationship and therefore I dont think its worth the risk.
Next up is the K-1 fiancee visa it looks like the best option but 1) it takes so freakin long and 2) apparently it goes through the US embassy in London which she said is ridiculously hard to get through.
After that there is the CR-1 or K-3 visa. I was told that if we get married here in the states and she goes back to the UK and we apply for a CR-1 or a K-3 visa it will be denied for the same reasons as getting married on the VWP.
So here are the new questions.
1) is it really that difficult to get a K-1 fiancee (or any visa for that matter) when being processed through the US Embassy in London? and if so why?
2)Is it true that she can't come here on a visa waiver get married and go back to apply for a CR-1 or K-3?
3) Are there any other options anyone out there can think of?
Thanks!
The key is that she heads back after the marriage. It's not fraud to just get married as long as she doesn't adjust her status inside the country. If she goes back and applies for a K3 or CR-1 then she is doing everything correctly. If it makes you feel better, you can get married in the uk or a third country and then apply for the marriage visa. If she's heading over on the Visa Waiver Program to marry you, I would suggest she bring a lot of evidence that proves she will return back to her country as she may be given a hard time. Or you can always apply for a fiance visa (K1)which will definitely put your mind at ease.Joelm2400 wrote:So it is perfectly fine for her to come over we get married and then she heads back? I just heard from a lawyer who said that this can be considered fraud because the intent would always be to immigrate. Just dont want to end up on the wrong side of the law.
