K-1 visa soon gonna expire

Recommended Posts

My bestfriend was just arrived here in the USA last August 2, 2006 through Fiancee Visa. And now, her fiance changed his mind of NOT marrying her instead. The guy wants to keep here in the USA also, but it kinda sounds to their conversation as being an illegal alien.

Just wondering if aside from marrying his fiance, is there any other possible ways she can stay in the USA as a legal alien? (knowing her days is just countable in fiancee visa)

I would really appreciate to anyone who have any useful information or knowledge in this situation.

Thanks a bunch!

No there is no possible way she can stay here legally. She needs to marry the petitioner within 90 days of entering the U.S., otherwise she's out of status, and has turned into an illegal alien on day 91. There are no exceptions whatsoever.

If he offered her to stay as illegal and she decides not to follow this bad advice, if I were her I would send a letter to USCIS and warn them against the guy...

My own point of view, I do not know the situation but I think it is a bt too easy for the guy who can throw away the girl...

Even if such an extension existed, which I've never heard of, they want to figure out a way for her to stay without getting married to the petitioner which would never qualify for any extension. It might qualify for fraud though. Almost time for your friend to head back home. Sorry, but this is exactly why the visa process is such a long pain in the ####### for the rest of us....silly cases like this.

I would really appreciate to anyone who have any useful information or knowledge in this situation.

Thanks a bunch!

Absolutely no alternative! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news too, But if your friend is not married within timeframe of 90 days of the i-90 and applied for AOS, There is NO reason whatsoever to remain here in the US, NO extensions, It's a visa based upon intent to marry following immigration guidelines......

Good luck to your friend, Just curious!

Why does your friend want to stay if her fiance'e does not want to marry?

My advice would be to go back home if no mind change from her fiance'e within the 90 days timeframe of the i-90 expiring, That way! She would have a good chance to visit on waiver visa's etc....
