Hi,

my K-1 Fiance finally made it here it the US to me...YEA!!! We got married all ready and now we are wondering about the change of status. We know we have to apply for it but we hit a little financial bump. Does any one know if we have to file for the change of status right away or can we wait a couple months to apply? Are there consequences to waiting? Will he be sent back to his country if we do not file?

Please help, we need advice.

When I called the government, they said there was no deadline so I am a little nervous.

Thank you

Bunny

Help....so is this all i need in forms to fill out

. I-129F
2. G-325a
3. G-1145 (optional)

Including adding pic, texts, ect.

Am I missing anything? I want to get this correct the first time

Hello all,

So applying for a K1 Fiance visa, Are there only the 3 forms I found on this website that I have to fill out?

And on the questions that don't apply...Do I just leave them blank or put in NA on the line so they know I saw the question?

I'm worried I will make a mistake somehow....

K1 will be cheaper by a long shot, considering one would have to pay full, out-of-state tuition with a student visa, sometimes paid in full prior to the start of classes.

Thank you for you help.

My fiance is from Nigeria too! Let me know if you have any questions! Good Luck!

Why would you assume such?

Thanks Temi

I have met my fiancee in person and have known him for over a year now. Is your Fiance here in america now?

Sounds like you would get your African fiancé to the U.S. to live. In order to do this you must forget the student visa. That is a non-immigrant visa. To obtain one must show intent to return to their home country. Since this obviously cannot be satisfied, the K1 visa is the obvious choice.

What country in Africa?

good luck

Nigeria...

I was thinking the K1 is probably the best and safest route to go. I was just wondering. Now to start the process of paperwork.

thanks for your advice.

I have my Fiance in Africa. I was wondering if it would be easier to do fiance visa or student visa. We want to get married but we also want to do what is the easiest and least expensive to bring them to the usa...I'm just trying to figure my options out and what would be the easiest way to get them here. Does anyone have any advice on this?
