indeed. honestly i just want to get married so that we can work together, and also, i don't want him to feel bored sitting home for 90 days ... Hoping that the Dominican embassy doesn't mind much :) but i'll make sure I'm good before i cross that bridge...

It may be longer than 90 days if what you're applying for is a k1 visa. Me (I'm the beneficiary), I've been sitting on my butt for 4 months now waiting on my EAD so i can start working. Not expecting it until January next year. 

 

So you have to consider that too... prepare him mentally (and financially).

Absolutely, I'm def considering getting a new gig or a second gig...i truly don't want to have to ask anyone to sponsor... do you think they will ask for this yrs returns or next yrs (proof of employment etc) ...

They will most probably ask for next year's return. I would suggest you prepare all documents you might need to support your case... paychecks, assets, savings, etc.

 

They can request for a co sponsor during the interview if they deem that your finances are insufficient.

No i meant after your fiance  enters the US. He will not be able to work for at least 4 months. So prepare for that... He has to know what to expect and you as well...

I wasn't able to work for the first 8 months once I crossed the boarder while applying for AOS and waiting the approval of my GC.  (Although I think my case was longer than most.... they kept asking for RFE...LOTS of them!:blink:)

 

Something to think of and plan for when the K1 visa holder moves to the states...

 

Best of luck :)

I don't want to burst your bubble here, but couples often find the period after moving in together to be the most difficult.  All those months of waiting and then there is a very challenging adjustment period to a new country and new culture.  I think your naivety is sweet here, because there are so many more struggles a couple can go through than just the wait, which will make that wait pale in comparison.

3/2/18  E-filed N-400 under 5 year rule

3/26/18 Biometrics

7/2019-12/2019 (Yes, 16- 21 months) Estimated time to interview MSP office.

Wow - just wow.  All that just because someone tried to give you some advice.  When I was new here I listened to everyone who took the time to give me their opinion or advice.  Some things I probably didn't like but I said thank you and went on.  I got tons of good advice.  There is no reason to throw a tantrum when someone says something you don't like.

I def said thanks to everyone for their opinion and or advice, but i wont let anyone call me out of my name and place negativity in my life. That just doesnt fly with me. Thanks.
