Hello VJ friends !

I need your help and opinions with the various scenarios i have for my fiance and I. I recently got engaged to my fiance who's from Jordan and we have some questions. Keep in mind, she is currently holding a tourist visa that she got a year ago that may come into play.

First Scenario : IF we start our K1 visa and then decide to get married, is there any consequences to back off K1 and start spouse visa? I know i'll lose the application fee but wanted to see if there are any implications

Second Scenario - If we back off K1 visa in the first scenario , got married and she attempts to enter the US on her tourist visa. Would she have a problem entering the US? She obtained the visa a year ago before we got engaged and i wasn't in the picture. She has a brother in California and got the visa to visit him. I know in this kind of scenario you would have to have proof to argue your case to have ties back to your home country and she will have a return ticket, letter form her work that she has a job, bank accounts, and car registration. My question is if we cancel K1 , got married then attempted to have her visit would she have issues as the officers at airport will have the info that she applied for K1 ( i am assuming can someone confirm? )

I may have more questions but those are the ones i need some help on at this moment.

Thanks all !

1.. shouldn't be.. circumstances change all the time, just be honest and never lie on forms..

2.. are you trying to get her into the country and she stays? would you tell the OFFICERS at the POE that she is your wife, entering USA on Tourist visa.. BUT she will be going home..

hmmmmmmm very interesting..

to answer your questions on the second scenario -No she would not stay. She would enter to visit then when her allowed time is over she would go back to Jordan to wait it out. At airport , if she's asked who are you visiting, i think she would have to be honest and say visiting brother and husband ( should she say only brother? which is partially true)

I did have another scenario for everyone:

3rd scenario: If we continue to process on K1 , would it be possible to have a church ceremony and party ? its just a ceremony w/o signing any contracts at church before my fiance leaves to be married in the States.

Thanks

sir.. i believe you are walking a thin line of visa fraud and are trying to find way, which you think you can cheat the system to bring her in to USA... for a K1

don't you think thousands of people have have TRIED to have a "NON binding/non official/no papers filed" wedding.. NON WEDDING>. it is being dishonest..

if you want to be married.. then Marry her in Jordan, get CR-1 and petition or your wife..
