so she's in LA still waiting on her divorce

expected to be finalized in november

im in the UK, i want to travel to the US in november, on a 1 week ticket, say that i intend to return home the week after, then call the arline and change my booking and stay the 90 days

as soon as im there i wanna file for my fiance visa

can i file for that and stay in the us for 3 months, return home to england deal with all the paperwork there, and then (fingers crossed) 3 months later when all paperwork is done return to the US

How about we give some time for the divorce process to ease out for a bit before rushing head long in toa new commited relationship? I've heard that folks need to grieve and stuff after a divorce to be able to move on successfully.

Why are you planning to trick both the airline and US immigration?

haha the divorce is a formality, no one is hurting because of it, its a marriage that hasnt been together for 10 years

plus we have a baby due in the new year

i dont wanna trick anyone

i just dont wanna tell imigration that im there for 90 days, in case they turn me away

i just want to know that i can apply for the visa when im in the country

If you are using the vwp it is unlikely you will be turned away though there is no gaurantee no matter the length of trip (7 days, 90 days).

Numerous people have made multiple trips for up to the full 90 days and never been turned away.

I myself stayed more than once for nearly the full amount of time allowed on the vwp and was never questioned.

I would recommend however to stay 80-85 days not the full 90 due to timezone conflicts etc, you would hate to be caught outside the 90 days due to oversight.

In regards to applying for the K-1 while in the US of course you can, as it is the petitioner NOT the beneficiary (you) who files.

Ive travelled over 4 times now each trip was for around 80 days, I always get questioned and sent to see the supervisor(RDU airport) he wanted to know why we hadnt filed for the K1 (we too was waiting for my now husbands divorce to come through)IMO they want to hear you know the legal process and you have intentions to follow that route,also ties to the UK will be important......They want to know you're going home at the end of your stay.

You could still be turned away even if you say you're only staying 7 days as soon as you mention you have a fiance over there and DONT lie about it.....they're not stupid they know you are capable of extending your stay once in the country and 7 days is a short time after travelling such a distance. We all know here how frustrating this entire process is,and yes we have to jump through hoops to be with the person we love. But to be honest they have us by the b***s.

Also dont bank on the process being completed in 6 months,expect it to take longer then if it does run smoothly it will be a bonus
