this is how far we get.... so far

I-129F Sent : 2021-05-17
I-129F NOA1 : 2021-05-27

 

I am currently visiting my bf in the state for 3 months entered with ESTA visa. 

more we read about how slow the process is for K1 more scared we are (also covid situations seem to getting bad again....),

we just dont want to go thru long distance without knowing when is gonna end!! 

 

so here is a hypothetical question...  can we just get married here and start new process and forget about K1? 

or this is not a wise move to do as it might effect each other? 

or should we hire a lawyer? 

 

any ideas or experience to share are all welcome and appreciate!

I was almost in the same situation as you. We had a K1 application in progress and I entered the US on a tourist visa for a short visit to see my fiancé. Then my country temporarily closed its borders

There is no need for an attorney.  This is a very common question asked here.  Adjusting status is legal.
