how to best use the 90 days prior to marriage k-1

[Ban Hammer 12,848]

I think most people can distinguish between merely expressing an opinion and bullying somebody else for expressing theirs.

the key word being 'most' Steven...

how true.......

Charles, you obviously know no boundaries & for that I pity you.

Not related to what is being discussed here but keep trying to stir the pot Charles.

an excellent example of that which i bolded. keep up the bullying good work.

Ronald Reagan said trust and verify

Yes, but he was talking about an enemy nation, not his wife Nancy. Context is important.

Awesome.

We've gone round and round about this, but the bottom line is those who choose to use the 90 days for a trial basis are going to have to blow smoke up the governments a** and fool them into thinking otherwise. To each his own, but that's a fact. Illegal? No. Deceptive? Yes. If the CO picks up on it, no visa issued. Plain and simple. Basically, I could care less how somebody does it but let's keep the facts straight once and for all.

The facts are this - the petitioner and beneficiary must have met within the last two years; they must be free to marry; and they must have intent to marry.

It is up to petitioner and beneficiary to sufficiently demonstrate intent with the petition and at the interview. If such is not demonstrated, no visa will be issued.

What you or I define as 'intent' may not be the same as what someone else defines. It doesn't take 'smoke blowing' to show intent. UNLESS the relationship is being created or shammed (and possibly backed by payment to the petitioner) for the beneficiary to come live in the US fraudulently via a marriage that does not exist. THAT is the type of intent CO's are looking to quash.

you got her number... some people like to pick fights to get attention I think

I'm done

Me too. I've said everything I have to say, and I tried to present it in a clear and reasonable manner. However, you and LisaD insist on manipulating it to fit your little zingers and sound bites so that you can trade smug little comments between each other. If you were really willing to listen to and comprehend what I and others have said, rather than deliberately misunderstanding, you might still not agree with it, but at least your opinions would at least be a little more informed. I can respect honest disagreements, but I cannot respect deliberate miscomprehension.

The proof is in the pie...pumpkin that is

Which is why I moved to my fiancée's country and lived her as a real family for one year. Made her feel far more comfortable too. Looking back, I don't see how so many get by with their couple of two or three week vacations (and they are just that, vacations. Hardly real life.) I personally know one guy that proposed after three days on his first visit. Pretty daring, if you ask me.

Come on guys. Please keep on topic or I will close. Also watch the personal attacks and jabs. Thank you.

And that's why I'm glad we lived together before we got married for several months...

Same here!
