ok friends...i'm not that smart...here is a stupid question...k1 fiancee visa is an immigrant visa...student, work visas are non-immigrant...correct???
It's not a stupid question - the names are a bit misleading (like when most people go for their interviews, they get in the "immigrant" line instead of the "non-immigrant" line even though K1 is a "non immigrant" visa).
Student, work, tourist, and K1 visas are all non-immigrant visas. (btw: the K1's non-immigrant status explains the 90-day marriage deadline - because on most non-immi visas, like tourist visas, VWP, 90 days is the default time limit for being in the US).
K1 gets you in the country for the purpose of getting married. Once you file for AOS, THAT'S what keeps you/your loved one here and makes them not-out-of-status until the green card determination is made.
