My Fiance is going to be leaving Singapore in June to come to the US... What is the cheapest/easiest way to ship all of her belongings?

Thank's for all the information. We have alot to think about now.

I'm filing for a K1 visa. My Fiance & I are thinking of getting married in her country of Malaysia. But i read that we have to be married in the US. Is this true?

Thank's

Mike

That's what I'm thinking but wanted some other ideas. I'm just nervous sending the wrong info in & so is she.

Thank's

I'm in the process of sending in my Fiance visa. Her Pasport runs out at the end of the year & she is going to renew the Pasport in a week or so. Should I wait to get the new Pasport information or send what we have now? I'm thinking just send what we have & send updates as they happen. Is this right? I don't want to have to make all new paperwork unless needed. Any opinion is helpfull.

Thank You,

Mike

What are all the costs for the paperwork?

Thank's again for all the info. What am I looking for in terms of dollars to get all this done if I do it alone?

Mike

Thank's for the info. It is a big help.

One question I am asked regularly is "Why can't my fiancee just come using a tourist visa or on the visa waiver program and marry me?" The problem is that a main condition of both a tourist visa and the visa waiver program is your fiancee's sworn promise that they only plan to visit the U.S., not immigrate here. The Department of State ("DOS") and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") assume that an intent to marry a U.S. citizen is the same as an intent to immigrate. If your fiancee enters the U.S. as a tourist, without disclosing that they are your fiancee and intend to marry you, they have committed visa fraud. If the USCIS later decides that this is the case, they could be removed (i.e., deported) and it will be almost impossible for them to come back, even though they are married to you.

In theory, it is possible for someone to obtain a tourist visa for the express purpose of coming to the U.S. to marry. The problem is, to do this safely, they must disclose their intention when they apply for their tourist visa, and convince the consular interviewer that they truly intend to return to their home country after your marriage. For obvious reasons, this can be difficult to do, because the consulates know that the K1 fiancee visa is available as an alternative. Even if the tourist visa is given, there is also a possibility that your fiancee could be "turned back at the border" when they try to enter into the U.S. if the inspecting officer does not believe your fiancee really intends to return home after your wedding. Finally, if you use this option, your fiancee will have to return home after your wedding, and you will need to apply for a K3 spouse visa or other appropriate immigration visa for them to be able to return to the U.S. -- a process that is just as complicated and lengthy as obtaining a K1 fiancee visa in the first place.

Using the K1 fiancee visa avoids all of the problems noted above, and is the only appropriate way for a foreign fiancee to come to the U.S. to marry.

Thank You, that does help. But, should I wait & get married there in Sep or start the Fiance visa now? I'm new at this & very, very confused.

Mike

That's what I thought but should we just get married first? She was just here for 3 weeks & I'm planning on going there in Sept. We could get married at that time or wait. I have all the Fiance Visa paperwork but can wait if we get married in Sept. I don't know what is the best path to take.

Mike

I live in Phoenix Arizona & have a Fiance in Malaysia. I have a question on getting her here the fastest or easiest way. Should I do a Fiance Visa or get married first & do it that way? She has a Vistor Visa already. She has been in the U.S. 3 times in the past 3 yrs. We plan on getting married soon but if we start the Fiance Visa & then get married in the process, will that confuse the process or be better? Thank you for any help.
