If you’ve not even met but already you are wondering what will happen if she divorces you, you might want to work on strengthening your relationship first. A K-1 is a huge commitment in terms of time

I don’t think you understand. She wants to permanently move to the US. Not just visit. What does she need to do?

No, I don't think YOU understand.   There is no "general visa" for a person to just up and move to the U.S.

It says on their website that they are closed, but they are not. They are open. At least the one in Jakarta is.

 

Doesnt matter anyway, now I am looking into moving to Indonesia for a year, can anyone point me in the right direction for information on that?

Could you post a link to the video.

Dude, there is no way in hell the US Embassy in Jakarta was open on Labor Day. 

 

As for living in Indonesia, I think your one option is to teach English there. The biggest language school chain there is English First.

Thanks for the help, but I don’t qualify for that since I don’t have a bachelors degree in anything. Any other options? Or is the same rules as coming to America?

United States embassies are NOT open on any US holidays, and especially not for folks to drop by and ask about K-1 visas, as you claim your gf did.  

 

You seem naive. 

 

Also, you quoted me out of context.  The "this is incorrect" comment of mine you quoted was a response to your assertion that you have to be together for two years before filing a K-1.

Sort of fascinated but also have seen enough weird stuff to know that we will not find out anything more.
