Thank you, I think I will seek some when in Vegas next

yes his family member is sponsoring me. He will have parole in a few years, and if im there and have a home set up it will increase our chances.

yes it is a challenge, but being apart is more.

we need to do things right. I cant be stopped at boarder and not be able to enter US for some dum reason we missed. If i cant get in and he cant get out it will be a very sad day

We have been together for 10 years

I visit every 6 months on visiting visa

we want to get married

I want to live in US closer to him

I need to be able to work

Im asking for best advice for visa, and fastest way I can work in US

I just want to be closer

Thank you for advice

No not really.

he probably wont get out

I must do everything legally I cant risk just winging it. Over the future years I will need to return to NZ and do not need hassle when trying to be back into states.

My partner is an inmate, we can not afford to break rules.

I just need to be able to legally live there and be able to support myself asap.

Thanks for advice and help

Ok i understand that. Im just worried if i come on visiting visa with intend to marry - which needs to be well planned and booked ahead, and it will be filed as there is no way around that, we can not just say oh lets get married, oh it just happened, unfortunately for us to get married it has to all be pre approved. The only reason to leave is because I cant work on visiting or K1, I dont want to return here but financially I might have to. So you saying it harder to get back into US if I leave after the marriage? I should just stay and hope I can find a job even though I legally cant work.

No i have been informed, travelling on a visiting visa with intent to marry is fraud, even if i did do this i can not stay without income (working) while i wait for AOS to be approved which could take months. But what i was wanting to know is if I come back to my country and wait, would it take longer, can i even do that while AOS is in process and then when i go back will i be able to work straight away ?

Because I cant work on a K1 and spousal visa could take few months. I cant marry on a visiting visa so have to do K1, as I intend to come to marry but as I need income I would need to have spousal visa to stay and work. (from what i understand anyway)

Once we are married and I have moved over to US am I able to work straight away. We are engaged applying for k1 now and I will be going over in November to get married. I then will return to my country, pack up and apply for spouse visa as we will be married, but can I live and work in US once married? Any help please .....
