Need advice fast

Hello All,

To make a long story short, I met a Russian woman in the USA, we dated for 4 months, she moved to Russia, we visited each other twice during that time (8 months), and then I moved to Russia to live for the last 10 months. Monday we got married Yay ! So now comes this awful visa thing.

I understand I have two options, file in the USA or file here. The main problem is I do not have a job. I do have sponsors in the USA, my mom and dad (60K+$) and sister/husband 50k$ per year. Both have said they will co-sponsor us.

Is it possible to start the process here in Russia and then finish in the USA. I am moving back in 3 weeks. How does sponsorship work in this case? I want to do whatever would be faster.

As far as proof a real marriage, I don't meet any of the criteria set out in the K3 guideline. I do however have people who will say this is a valid relationship. I also have photos, e-mails, etc.. from day1 (2 years now we have been together). I am only worried about money. My marriage is real and any consulate will see that based on the evidence.

Please advice. The US government websites are hard to navigate.

Thanks for your time,

Jerrod

When you file directly with a Consulate abroad, it is for a CR1 visa, not K3. That aside, I think your best option is to file DCF because the whole process will be faster. Then you returning to the US to re-establish domicile and get a job is perfectly ok. Citizen spouse's commonly do this during the DCF process. The fact that you have been living together for 10 months pretty well attests to bona fides of your relationship. Getting a couple affidavits from people who have actually observed the relationship up close and personal, will take care of any lingering potential doubts.

Yep... absolutely, DCF is much faster for you, bypasses the who USCIS Service Centers, which take quite a while to process your petitions. As for the bona fides criteria on the 130, you meet them fine. Are you on the lease, have utilities in your or both name(s) at her place, etc. will do. If not, 2 or 3 affidavits attesting to your relationship will do.

Yes, DCF is quicker route for you.
