Hi All

Me (US Citizen) and my fiance of four years decided to get married in NY on Nov 20,2014.

She is a flight attendant from Kuwait Airways and is based in Kuwait

and she comes to US twice a month.

She has two types visa 1 is a type D and 1 is a B1/B2.

My question is when filing out the I30 form , for the relatives section

for the address Can i put in my address here in the US since she stays with me everytime

she comes to the US as a flight attendant. She recently stayed with me again this month

for 15 days after we got married..any thoughts on this , I know this is a special case since she

is a flight attendant.. thank you guys ..

I just want to make sure I fill this our correctly.

No, you do not list your address in the US as her address; you list her permanent address in Kuwait.

I am filing for an i30. My wife is a flight attendant from Kuwait . We got married in the US.

She has the visa to come here which is good for two years . Can I just let her come here

in the US and then file the I30..my intention is we file the i30 and she will be here the whole time

waiting for visa..

Please any input and clarification on what form we need to make this happen if possible

She is a flight attendant yes? What visa does she have? A Crewman's visa? A tourist visa?

Essentially - no, she won't be able to stay in the U.S. "the whole time". Although her visa might be valid for 2 years, it obviously does not entitle her to stay in the US for 2 years. However, start the process for the spousal visa now and she may come to the US to visit

good luck

She has both a crewmans visa and a tourist visa..

Is there a way for her just to stay here and do all the paperwork..Most of the stuff I see in the forum is non of their wives have visa to come into the US , that is not the case

with us.

You can start the application, then she can go home for her medical and interview. that is if the whole process till the interview is less than 6 months. Maximum stay for a visit visa is only 6 months. But it is still up to the POE officer how many month they will grant for her, as they can give you 1 week , 1 month or 6 months max.

I guess she can adjust status in the US once she is there but that would be visa fraud. ( correct me if I'm wrong )

Good luck on your process.

You are correct. Using her crewman or tourist visa to come here with the intent of staying in the USA is visa fraud.

Op: best thing is to file now, and keep visiting (and working!) during the process.

She can stay with you in the US for as long as her visa allows her. For example, since I'm from Sweden, I don't need a visa to the US, I travel under the visa waiver program, which allows me stay up to 90 days in the US as a tourist. Once the 90 days are up, I must leave the country. How long is your wife allowed to stay with her visa? She could stay that time and then leave the US for awhile.
