2 Simultaneous Visa applications?

[robp135 1]

I am about to start the K1 process with my girlfriend, however there is a small possibility i could get transferred to the USA with work in the next 6 months. If my work were to apply for a visa for me how would my ongoing K1 application cause any problems??

From what I read on here you can't simutaneously have two visa in the works.

If I would be in your place start K1 in meanwhile if your work want to send that would be after 6 months which is too far.

In 6 months lot of things can change for buss and they might not even require u to go to US, in that case you would have already lost your 6 months on K1.

You can have two visas in the works, for instance many people have Crewman's visas and B2 visas at the same time, or J-1 visas and b2 visas at the same time. Different visa for different purpose.

So to answer your question, no, it wouldn't cause any problems. The best case scenario would be for you to get a L inter-company transfer visa, which is dual-intent (you are allowed to have the intent to work in the US, but also the intent to eventually immigrate). With this visa, there would be zero "conflict of interest" by having a USC fiance as well. Though, I would still apply for the K-1 now, in case your work visa doesn't go through. Good luck.
