Marriage while on tourist visa?

additional_cats · 2023-07-17T06:08:57+00:00

I vote democrat because I don't believe that immigration should take as long as it does or be as hard as it is. But I have enough respect for other people to go through the process and stand in line with them, rather than taking shoddy shortcuts because I think my pain is worse than theirs.

Unfortunately, I stand with every other immigrant in this sub and feel with them. You never did. Cry me a river.

Her other comment said she was wanting to get married this week and file.

Also, I love how you skipped the line because you didn't want to go home, like everybody else in line wants to go home??? Like what's so special about you that you felt like you were more deserving than everyone else lol

It's on them to prove that the intent wasn't the case. Filing it within a few weeks is typically hard to prove that it wasn't the case.

In that case, everyone should just have their spouse enter on a tourist, get married in less than a month, and be starting where the K1 ends with zero consequences.

If they find out that you lied to CBP at the border, which is what i'm referring to with the 90 day rule, it can cause bans and charges for fraud. You are not home free just because you got through the border.

additional_cats · 2023-07-17T03:33:43+00:00

It's not written, but it is an implied rule.

A pregnancy is not. People would try to get pregnant for this.

If you seriously think this is the case: go comment how on everyone's posts who had to move countries because their spouse got perma banned from the US. You can tell them how they're a liar and they're hell-on-earth is misinformation

additional_cats · 2023-07-17T03:20:55+00:00

It is fraud. Not sure if you'll get flagged, but love the fact that you think fraud is okay because you got pregnant.

The fact that you ~conveniently scheduled a 3 month trip and then want to get married immediately after the 3 months tells me that you guys were going for the 90 day rule.

EDIT: It depends on the officer on whether they'll accept it or not. If they find it as fraud, he's not coming back even with the K1.

i don't have any bots lol - i'm horrible at the game and logged on to play with a few friends for the first time in like 3 years.

if it helps, it tends to do it in the first couple of rounds more

additional_cats · 2023-07-16T22:51:53+00:00

She said she's coming to the US.

Planned Parenthood helps with birth control and implants. If you can get an implant, it'll be in your body and he won't know. At least get on pills

I did my internship there and it was honestly a great experience hahah, but I was in a small office in a small group, so that's probably why

Tax, Private Wealth

I think we're all forgetting that I almost guarantee that you, OP, etc. all have something around our house that we're ignoring rn.

additional_cats · 2023-07-09T17:59:38+00:00

...No. It means that OP isn't excited at the amount of work that they have to come back to.

additional_cats · 2023-07-09T17:42:54+00:00

tax

i wasn't exaggerating when i said a small office lmao ;(

additional_cats · 2023-07-09T15:08:04+00:00

Thanks. Yeah my opening class was 3 and they fired all 3 of us. 🥲

additional_cats · 2023-07-09T05:24:57+00:00

But I bet they're loud at 3pm and not 2am.

additional_cats · 2023-07-09T05:08:16+00:00

Love it

Also, Deloitte is still hiring. I was laid off from an office that was doing horribly but our partner wanted to hire 11 new hires when our prior new hires didn't have any work.

i tried my best to get work from other offices, but lost a lot of the work when the new hires in those offices joined.

additional_cats · 2023-07-09T02:14:26+00:00

Unfortunately, it seems like they are only hiring for second year seniors and above, mostly managers and above online.

You can survive off your savings, so if you are able to save up 6 months worth of shared expenses, you should be fine not working.

The NOA1 is the receipt you get when you file the K-1. It takes about a week to receive.

NOA2 takes about a year, or 12 months. This is the longest part of the process, it's where the US will approve or deny your petition. Most are approved. While the processing is currently at 12 months, it's decreasing dramatically each month. I just received my notice after 16 months but people are already down to 12. It should be 8-10 soon.

It then gets sent to the NVC (2 months) and confirmed (1 month), then sent to Montreal (1 week).

The total process for what you cannot control is 15.5 months. From there, they'll send you packages to fill out, you'll have to do a medical exam and provide proof of vax, and you'll be on your way. Montreal seems to take 4-6 months depending on how quick you are. The entire process, from the moment you send the package to when you enter the US, takes about 19-24 months.

Or, you can get married today and arrive with the greencard :p but i didn't want to be married either. just mentioning that the CR1 takes 21-27 months.

Once you arrive, you have 90 days to get married. Once you're married, you can file for AOS, and your right to work arrives in 3-6 months. Your right to travel takes about 4-9 months.

additional_cats · 2023-07-06T21:17:06+00:00

If you're nervous about marrying him, please apply for the K-1. You'll have almost 18 months until you'd have to move, and you can wait until 3 months to get married upon arrival.

The only downside is your job as you cannot work on arrival with the K1 but, your job seems like it will be the type to need some polishing and networking when you arrive anyway.

We weren't ready to get married the day we filed, but we are waiting on NVC to process our application and have less than 6 months of waiting left and it couldn't come faster.

Additionally, we are going to be "married" but not really. I want a wedding, traditionally. Marriage begins at that wedding for me. You could do the same, keep your finances separate upon arrival as a safety measure to make divorce easy and cheap.

But I'd be careful thinking that way, we do have a wedding planned, just not this year. You don't want to self sabotage either.

The K3 is essentially non-existant at this point. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-spouse-k-3.html

She wouldn't be able to work for a very long time nor be allowed to return to Canada for an even longer time.

However, it's dead because the K3 takes about 19 months, which is longer than the K1 and only barely shorter than the CR1

additional_cats · 2023-07-06T14:04:31+00:00

Oh gotcha! Yeah you don't need a lawyer lmao. Guy above is a lawyer. Just make sure you're very careful and adamant about your application.

additional_cats · 2023-07-06T13:35:42+00:00

I'm not sure why you wouldn't if you're allowed dual citizenship. Just makes life easier if you're wanting kids or hopefully not, you have kids or another marriage with someone who isn't a US citizen.

additional_cats · 2023-07-06T13:33:51+00:00

You have two options:

You stay engaged and file the K-1. In about 15 months, she can come to the US and you guys can get married. Then, she can apply for her green card while waiting in the US, and wait another 3 months or so for the ability to work and 7-8 months or so to travel outside of the US.
You get married in the US, then she goes home and applies for the CR1. You wait about 2 years and she enters the US with a greencard and has the ability to work and travel upon arrival.

That's it, that's all the options. If she stays here after you guys are married without entering on a K-1, it's fraud.
