Perfecto! We have not applied for the K1 yet. He isn't barred from utilizing the VWP/ESTA. I think he may have already filed and received authorization because he came to the US last year to study English for a few months. We are waiting until he finishes his Master's program in early November.

If we don't have to apply for K1 and if he can just come to the US under a visitor's visa from Italy to get married, then apply for a K3 or I-130 in a few years when we plan to move back to the US, then all is well and good in my book. Grazie mille, everyone!!!

Also, Darnell, I am going to watch "Monty Python" now.

Sorry I forgot to respond to those other questions. Here are my responses:

Question 1: My fiancé is currently living in Italy.

Question 2: He holds an Italian passport.

Question 3: I'm beating myself over and over again because I love "Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail" and I can't believe I didn't know the answer to that.

Dave, I was just thinking about the latter plan you suggested: get married, go to Italy, come back to the US in a few years, and file for a K3 spousal visa. In this case, do I still need to file for a K1? Or, can he just come here under the regular tourist visa, so that we can get married quickly?

Hi guys! Thanks for the responses! Wuhan, sorry ... I have no idea about your question 3. But thanks again!

Hi guys! Here's my situation: my fiancé is Italian. He is finishing up his Master's degree and planning to work and live in Italy for a few more years. We want to get married in San Francisco, CA, but then he has to move back to Italy after the civil ceremony to continue his life in Italy. The plan is for me to meet up with him there in a few months when I file for and receive permanent residence in Italy.

My question is: do we still need to file for the K1 visa? Our original plan was to file for the K1 visa, have him come here, we get married, and then have him go back to Italy while we wait for his adjustment of status. However, we just discovered after some research that he may need to apply for Advanced Parole status in order to leave and re-enter the US. This may take too long (I'm not sure about the length of time for application and processing).

Any advice on the K1 visa or Advanced Parole, or what our options are?

Thanks, all!
