saipan

[Whirly 0]

I am a pilot living in Guam. My fiance lives and works in Tinian. She wants to quit her job in Tinian but her contract does not expire until next spring. If she quits the job before her contract is completed, she will lose her work visa and have to go back to the Philipines. She can apply for an exemption to this rule from her company if she gets married.

Here's my concern: We want to live in Saipan so that she can get a job there and it would work out for my job as well. Saipan is part of the Mariana Islands which is loosely connected to the United States.

Would she have any trouble applying for permanent US residency if we get married in Saipan?

Thank you for your help.

I know this is old, but people can still find this post by searching. Until November 28th, 2009, you can get married in Saipan to your Filipina wife. You can choose to straight away apply for AOS or you can apply for a CNMI only permit that is good for 1 year only, before the year i s up, though, you'll need to apply for AOS.

You can marry your fiancee in saipan by applying I-129F for her K1 visa in order for her to come in saipan.She needs to go back in the philippines to wait for your petition.And after you got married in saipan she will apply for AOS(adjustment of Status) to become a permanent resident

You do not live in the CNMI and you do not know what you are talking about Majca. Did you bother having any knowledge before you said what you did??? Learn about a topic before giving advice. You just gave horrible advice.

If you knew anything, majca, about the CNMI, you'd know that right now, immigration is not handled by the USCIS and is instead handled by the CNMI immigration. The proper procedure is to marry in Saipan and then apply for adjustment of status. Nothing difficult and no need to go back to the Philippines.
