Hello!

I have 2 couples who are close friends. Both of them married WITHOUT their K-1 with no issues. I would be interested to hear stories of anyone else that did. Do include details ( timelines for work permits and Advanced parole).

From what I hear it's going to take the same amount of time either way. Just curious!

I dont really understand your question. Do you mean to come hear on another visa type or visiting from a visa waiver country and then marry and adjust status?

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

You are leaving out some important information.

1.) What country did they marry in?

2.) If the answer to #1 is "the U.S.", how did they get into the U.S.?

K1: 01/15/2009 (mailed I-129F) - 06/23/2009 (visa received)

AOS: 08/08/2009 (mailed I-485, I-765, & I-131) - 10/29/2009 (received GC)

If your question is: can I travel to the USA (say on a tourist visa or the VWP) and get married there? Then absolutely, that is no problem. The problem is that you are not allowed to stay. You can plan the wedding, fly over, get married, go back to your home country and apply for a spousal visa. If you go to the US with the intent of getting married and staying, that is illegal and immigration fraud, and could result in a lifetime ban.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip
