And not to forget: someone who's single.

You're welcome

That's what it seems like. I am just an observer. You are going to go in front of an immigration officer to tell this same story and hopefully he/she sees it different from how i see it.

You are desperate!

go back and read your own post. You said you will have no where to stay. Where would you have gone if it wasn't for this boyfriend?

You have a lawyer lying to you that you can come and stay..forgetting that your boyfriend is not FREE to marry. That's what the law says. He must be free to marry. Until his divorce is finalized, he isn't free to marry.

So you are counting on waiting it out here << possibly overstaying your visa, in hopes that he won't change his mind and you two can marry.

I thought it was folks from 3rd world countries that are desperate to come here.. Not my business but that's how your story appears to me.

 

Wait in your home country until he can marry you , then he can file for K-1  for you to come. It isnt that difficult to get one from your country, even with this your story.

good luck.

As I said: you clearly haven't read the complete post, because I never said that I want to marry while he's still in divorce trial. All I asked if there were other ways, and stated what his lawyer said to me. If the lawyer is wrong it's not me to blame, thank you. And if I really did it for convenience, then I would have chosen a man living in a better country and having a better job. Thank you.

First of all, your boyfriend is not FREE to marry...so your 90 days thing will not work. ICE can pick up up at anytime. You will make things worse if you get deported. Did your lawyer forget to tell you that your boyfriend must be FREE to marry? He can't marry if his divorce isn't finalized.

This whole thing looks like relationship of convenience. You are looking for a place to stay, that's it? what about love?

 

 

Oh yeah. That's really it! You're absolutely right! I'm going to live in another country just for a place to stay. Yep. Definitely my goal! Thank you so much for making it clear to everyone! You're my hero of the day. You also clearly read the complete post as far as I can see it.

As already pointed out by other members, coming with a esta/ vwp with the intention to marry and stay is visa fraud, steer away from this line of thinking

Then why does his lawyer said it's possible to marry after 60 days?

Thank you very much for the replies. The reason for the rush is because I will lose my place to stay soon because of an ending contract. 

His lawyer said that it's possible to marry directly if I stay 60 days straight in the USA. That's what I want to use the 90 days Visa Waiver program first. 60 days to stay, and then marry.

To get a work visa, you would need a US employer willing to go through the process on your behalf.  This can take years.  

 

To get a student visa, you would need to have international student tuition and proof of a foreign home that you intend to return to.

 

There is no volunteering visa.

 

If there was a way for you, we would tell you.  There isn't.  The sooner you accept this, the better you can plan for the separation.

Thank you very much for your help, JoJo.

You can not extend your stay on ESTA/VWP.

I mean with another type of visa. I'm willing to work, study, do voluntary work, etc.

There is no option for you to move early.

 

You can use ESTA/VWP to visit.  Visit only.

 

If you apply for a tourist visa  and it is denied, then you will not be able to use ESTA/VWP afterwards.

Thank you, JoJo. Is there really no other way to "extend" my stay until he's divorced, so we can officially marry?

Do you want to go to school? You could try an F-1.

Thank you, Mollie. I already have an University bachelor's degree, is there still a chance to go to school? What's all needed? I'm interested! 

Hi all. I hope title is clear enough. I met my boyfriend back in early 2016, and became more than friends during that year. We've seen each other last time in early 2017 while he visited my country (The Netherlands). I want to live with him in the USA, but with a Visa Waiver I'm not allowed to stay in the USA longer than 90 days (please note: I've never been in the USA so far). Sadly he's still in divorce waiting period, since some states have that weird long waiting periods. Waiting wouldn't be a problem, but I need to leave my house in two months because of expiring contract deal. The divorce will probably not be done before that period. I have nowhere else to stay, so I want to settle with my boyfriend in the USA. Are there any other options for us left? Is getting a tourist visa an option for example? What are the requirements for that? He earns enough money with his job to be a sponsor for example. I'm looking for work too, but sadly no success yet finding a job that would sponsor me a work visa.

I hope somebody can help me, thank you very much in advance.
