Hey guys! I just stumbled upon this super helpful forum yesterday :) Here's our story (the short version)... I'm a USC, my fiancé is a Croatian citizen and we live together in Germany. We are planning on "eloping" in the US and then coming back to Germany right after. We do however, plan on moving to the US the end of 2017/early 2018. So from what I've read, it sounds like since we will not be staying in the US right after the wedding, we don't actually need to apply for a special visa and can legally enter and get married on my fiance's tourist visa... is that correct?

While I don't know which visa would be applicable in the situation, a K1 would probably not be the best option as you would have for advanced parole to travel and IIRC staying outside of the US for that long of a period of time could result in abandonment (which could hamper your fianceés ability to return to the country). The k1 is for one time entry for 90 days with the intent to marry and adjust status.

Yes, as long as you don't intent to stay in the US after the marriage, you can just get married on the tourist visa. Many foreigners get married in Vegas :)

Then about a year before you want to move to the USA permanently, start the CR-1 spousal visa process.
