SantyAndAllie,
It is pretty funny how they classify K-1 visas. At the interview, you stand in line with the immigrant visas, but you fill out the forms like a nonimmigrant visa, The state department lists it as a nonimmigrant visa, but also a family based visa. I remember on piece of paper asked do you have any family in the USA including your fiancee.
My attorney that helped shepherd the paperwork through told me, when I asked that question, (she used to be a consular officer). It falls in the gray area where, until you are married, its a non immigrant visa, once married and file the AOS it becomes an immigrant visa. From her prospective, the cut off point, where it is clearly an immigrant visa was the day the green card is issued, up until then, its just limbo.. Like your fiancee can work during the 90 days, but if you don't marry and file for the work permit right away, by all rights, she would have to quit her/his job until the work permit is issued, technically...,
And here is another wrench in the cog.. .Have to show commingling of assets... well, some banks won't let a person sign on an account without an SSN.. Some utilities are difficult because of lack of work history...So its just like the rest of this journey live the life of love and companionship and the ulterior life where the two of you figure out how to put the pegs in the holes to keep the USCIS happy for the AOS interview.. The best I am going to do is have her on the title of my truck and while in drivers training, list her on my auto policy. From there, have her on my health insurance policy, and add the rest as it falls into place..
that is why I am thankful for community based education classes for ESL, drivers licenses, here in idaho, doesn't require a green card, and the local university does have some pretty easy learn at your own pass classes, (yes has to be completed in the semester) but self paced...
I hope this helps... I have been racking my brain trying to find alternative things for Leidy to do to keep her busy and interested so she can live life here instead of feeling isolated....
Sorry about the book guys... The mind was wandering right before bed.. Ambien and writing probably isn't the best combination
