I'm currently in Colombia but I work remotely for a Canadian company.

Do you think it would help to have them give me a letter of job offer from my Canadian company saying they need me to be based in the US due to having an increasing number of US clients? (this is actually true, so they wouldn't be lying).

Hi All

After reviewing a lot of information, it seems like the fiancee visa would likely be the fastest and best route for us.

My question is, how does this work with my girlfriend's 11 year old daughter? My girlfriend has voluntary sole custody and has permission from the father to leave the country with the daughter at her own discretion.

Can I include the daughter in my submission for the fiancee visa and get a visa for the two of them simultaneously?

Or will we have to put in an application for her papers after we have received the fiancee visa and married in the US?

Thanks everyone for your input. That is sobering.

So is there any point to doing the fiancee visa if they already have a tourist visa?

Should we just go ahead and move forward with the CR1 process as soon as we are married?

Is there any difference to marrying in the US vs. Marrying in Colombia?

My Fiancee is Colombian and she and her daughter have US travel visas valid to stay for up to 6 months. We are currently living in Colombia and would like to begin the process of moving together to the US.

Ideally, we would like to marry here in Colombia, then travel to the US together, and then put in our papers.

From what I understand, we can file a I-485 once they are here and they will be allowed to stay in the country while the application is in process.

Can anyone confirm if this is the case?

Is it different if we decide to marry in Colombia or marry in the US?
