Hi all,

I wanted to share with you all that I was able to walk in and have my biometrics taken after I missed my biometrics appointment last week (long story!). After missing the appointment I called USCIS who told me send back the appointment notice and ask them to reschedule. I did that. Then, this week I called USCIS again to ask about something else, and also asked if asking for a rescheduling of the biometrics appointment was going to delay my case. She said "Oh yea, oh yea, by 30-60 days" (as if she was happily confirming something for me!!). I am going crazy about this waiting time, so I went out to the USCIS office with the copy of my appointment notice showing a different city and a passed date - and they let me in and took my biometrics right there and then! Lesson learned: take matters into your own hands and don't always trust the ladies on the phone (when I asked, she told me there was a 99% chance they wouldn't even let me in the door if I showed up with a copy with a passed appointment in a different city).

Good luck to you all!

Ok, thank you both very much!

OK - thank you!

They have never had a foreigner working for them before, so no - unfortunately they don't know what they are doing.

As I understand, they have to demonstrate that they need me and that I am filling a spot that could not be filled by an American (basically, that I am not stealing the job from an American!) Will it be enough, that I have been an intern there, and therefore have experience in the company already that no Americans do?

Thanks for your reply!

I am still just trying to figure out what my options are - I haven't talked with the employer about details, they have just told me that if I choose to come back, they have a job for me and will help with the visa.

I am not sure what you mean by me not being interested in obtaining permanent residency through my fiance (sorry, I'm very new to all of this). If that is the easiest way to go and it doesn't change anything in terms of moving to Denmark later, then I am definitely interested in that option too.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and hope that somebody out there can help me.

I was in the US last year for an internship, during which time I fell in love with an American who is now my fiancé. I finish my studies next summer and want to go back to America for at least a year or two to live with my fiancé and work in the company I was interning with (they offered me a job). At the moment the plan for us is to live in America for a year or two, then come back to my homecountry (Denmark) and live more permenantly, but still with the possibility of potentially going back to the US to live for a few years sometime in the future.

For now we are trying to figure out the easiest way for me to stay in America starting next summer. Since I've got a job offer I could apply for a visa through them. Could I also apply as a temporary worker? Or, should we instead go for the family based visa and get married? Which visa, that allows me to stay and work in America for a few years, is the easiest way to go?

I really look forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards,

L
