According to what I've in another thread, you could get married and adjust her status while she is here because your intent was not to get married when she applied for the visa. This will allow you to skip over a lot of the drama the majority of folks here are facing. Of course that's if you wanted too or are ready to do that. However, I'm just writting what I read and you would have to check on whether that would be an option for you. As you may know, you will not have any problems going through the K1 process and obtaining a visa through the Embassy in England, despite of the chaos with the Service Centers. Good luck...

Proof of the phrase that a little knowledge is dangerous.

For a start she does not need a Visa to enter the US, she is English.

Goes downhill from there.

Alright, let's get things straight. I assumed the OP would file for K1 while his/her fiance was in the U.S. and that the fiance would then fly back to the U.K. I also assumed the fiance is not currently in the U.S. But, yeah, too many assumptions and I see now that the information I provided totally sucked. Sorry about that. :blush:

So... OP, if you tell us what your plans are, we'll be able to help you with more accurate info.

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.

Mew, lighten up on the self-criticism!

A lot of us are shocked that well informed folks like you don't act like the rest of us more often!

And, OP, where is your fiance and exactly what are your intentions? I bet Mew gathered correctly, but let us know and you'll be information that is more on target.

Actually your assumptions seem fine.

As does your answer.

I am currentlyin the US and we filed from here. I'm visiting for as long as the law will allow. Be careful of just marrying 'spontaneously' if your UK fiance has already begun to put stuff in order to leave permanently. I don't know what is involved in that process (or marrying on the spur of the moment and then adjusting status) but it seemed like a risky thing to do when we were researching all options. I don't know what kind of proof they need that the marriage was indeed spontaneous (if any proof at all).

Good luck. Best advice I have is to do all your homework and then file ASAP.. the process is long enough as it is.
