Dilemma

[midicat 0]

Hey everyone,

I haven't really been writing on here a whole lot, but i'm now faced with a dilemma that I need help with. My fiance who is here right now in America with me and I have been planning on sending our our K-1 visa packet before he leaves to go back home to England this time. He leaves on October 4th. I've already started the paperwork and everything. Dilemma is, we just recieved a message from his older sister saying that her and her fiance have set their date for their wedding, next October. I definately don't want him to miss out on his sisters wedding, as that's very important! We had planned on getting married next Sept if we got the visa in time, thats the major dilemma, it could be 6-12 months, we have no clue how long it will take. Can anyone offer me some advice here? If we send out the packet this time before he leaves and we were to get married before they did, would be able to leave so suddently after getting married? Do they have any exemptions to anything like that? He wouldn't have residency status yet probably if we got married in August or Sept next year before October. I'm so torn on what I should do. We've been wanting to do this for a long time now .

Any advice on the situation would be greatly appreciated!

midicat,

The K-1 process is rather unpredictable at this stage. With that said, you would most likely be approved within 6 months maybe sooner from CSC. From VSC, much faster.

When your Fiance is already here and you get married, you can apply for advanced parole for him to visit the UK, before the green card arrives.

Hi. I think that you should file as soon as you can so that you can start things moving along. If approved for the visa, your husband has six months from the date of approval to enter the states.

Option 1: He could wait in England until after his sister's wedding. I am guessing that would keep you guys apart longer and you don't wnat that.

Option 2: He can wait in England fora while after being issued the visa and you could go and visit him in England and stay for his sister's wedding. Then you can fly back to the States together.

Option 3: Have him fly to America as soon as he can with the visa and apply for Advance Parole. That means that he can leave and return while waiting for Adjustment of Status to be completed.

I hope that helps.
