K-1 Visa possibility - student AND not living in USA...

[Dom10 1]

So I've read mixed opinions and I was just wondering if anyone has any advice for me on the feasibility of this.

 

I am living in the UK attending dental school and finishing in June. I have received an offer for a dental residency program in USA (where I am planning to live after this). So that means I will be returning to USA in June. I have lived here for 8.5 years. My fiance and I have been together for 7.5 years, she is currently working in the UK as a pharmacist. I have filled out the I-129 form and just doing some more research before I send it off.

 

1. Will me not currently living in USA be an issue? - I have an address (my brother's - where I stay when I am in USA) on driver's learners permit/registered voter/bank account/credit cards/etc. I also have an offer for a dental residency program which shows intent to return.

 

2. I've heard mixed things about co-sponsors for K-1. Is it a realistic option? Obviously I'm a student so I have never earned any income. My brother would co-sponsor and earns enough for this.

 

Thank you very much for any advice provided.

Thank you. The reason I didn't look into it before was due to a possibly(?) Irrational fear.

 

I was thinking k1 would be good as if I get denied I could get married and try a different visa. Is this nonsense and DCF should be a safe option? Thank you.
