    Get married and apply for spouse visa. There is no appealing a denied fiancé visa.

    Best option is to marry and go the spousal route.

    gregcrs2 reacted to SalishSea in Unaware of divorce and got approved of Conditional Residency   
    I get that, but in every divorce I’ve ever heard of, both parties are notified of the final dissolution, and generally there are final signatures gathered, etc.

    I don’t understand how a person can be divorced by someone and not realize it.   There are signatures required, even for simple divorces.   And it wasn’t like it was a divorce done in absentia for someone who could not be located.
     
    There must be more to this story.   One wonders about the future of a marriage where this has occurred.
     
    And from an immigration perspective, OP you need a good immigration lawyer like yesterday.   This is well above free internet pay grade.

    gregcrs2 reacted to SalishSea in Can I get married while my IR5 immigration is pending ?   
    This sounds like a marriage for the purpose of obtaining an immigration benefit, which is fraud.
     
    If you do choose to go this route, expect scrutiny with that misrep history.

    gregcrs2 reacted to Alcia in Can I get married while my IR5 immigration is pending ?   
    My son filed a petition for me while I’m abroad. I was slapped with a misrepresentation case that of which I need to submit a waiver. The thing is my son is not classified as a qualified relative. My son father and I has been thinking about getting married after I came to America. In this case is it ok to marry while IR5 is pending at the embassy and while being married my husband can be the qualified relative. What are your thoughts ?

    gregcrs2 reacted to Lily25 in AOS from a visitor's visa (through marriage)   
    @Crazy CatI did not know I was gonna visit him as well... My initial plan was to visit my sister and return home. But we decided to meet when i was there..
    would it have been better if i told the POE officer that i was also gonna visit my boyfriend? in that case it would have been better to do AOS? now it is risky and can be seen like i lied about my intention when i entered the country?
     
    We are in a relationship for 7 months.

    gregcrs2 reacted to ChrisnTat in Proxy marriage but we didn't consumate before filing and after the wedding   
    We got married shortly after she left the US one visit and were excited and only a week later filed our I-130. We never met in person between the date of the wedding and the date of filing. We have since been together in person when she came over for a funeral and stayed for a few months. We had also met in person before the wedding, as I vaguely mentioned.
     
    Are we going to have to refile? They need proof now that we had met between the date of the wedding and date of filing, but we did not. If I do need to refile, what does that look like? How do I proceed with the current case and is there any sort of wait before I can file again?

    gregcrs2 reacted to *Snowdrop* in Marrying a U.S citizen who's in prison - which visa ?   
    The previous people I've seen on here who have married prisoners and then filed the Spouse visa application have done so because their partner was going to be in prison for a long time - years -and they wanted to be there in the US to be able to visit on a regular basis. 
     
    In your case, as he's getting out in a year, I'd give you the same advice I'd give anyone who has begun a relationship with someone online and from another country - give yourselves a lot of time to get to know each other in different circumstances. First face to face - and then in your case face to face outside of the prison environment - meet his family, meet his friends, see if your goals and futures are compatible, see if your living habits and needs are compatible. 
     
    THEN... make the big life-changing decisions about marriage. Work out what his prison record means for his travel options, will he ever be able to go to Switzerland with you? If you have children with him in the USA then you will have to commit to living there until they are adults if he can't leave the country. 
     
    This is what I'd advise to anyone in a relationship where there has been little in person experience of each other.

    First and most importantly we do not judge.
     
    Swiss are eligible for the VWP
     
    Meet first and see where it goes if anywhere, you are getting ahead of yourself.
     
    Also wondering what your friends and family think of this?

    Yes. Doable. There's been cases here. I don't remember the names but if you buy @Redro (our lovely and talented librarian) kimchi, she may do you a solid and pull it up for you. 
     
    Good luck.

    First I'm sorry the ex was a dirtbag. 
    Sadly you should have went home when you  did not marry. When entry on the K1 you can only ever Adjust status through the Petitioner of that K1. 
     
     You will need your spouse to file the I-130 to petition you to come to the us. You cannot adjust through him. When you leave the US you will then be slapped with a 10yr ban. At the interview you will be denied but given the chance to file a waiver for that ban. It would be fast but faster then the 10yr bar.

Does anyone else has been in this situation?

    VWP does not allow you to work even remotely.
     
    As far as job etc is concerned well that is a personal choice as is deciding to adjust.

    Your issue is going to be the adoption.

    Since adoption and immigration are two separate entities, I would hesitate to tackle this without a couple of competent attorneys.  There are just too many complexities when the two are mixed..  Adoption does not guarantee immigration.

    A short notice job relocation would allow you to file direct with the local consulate.
     
    From your comments you will need a Joint Sponsor to meet the financial requirements.
     
    Have you had custody of the child for 2 years?
