Hopefully we can do that. I gave up US residency six years ago, and have held residency in various other countries, China, Scotland, Korea, and Peru. And plan on getting citizenship here in Peru. The one and ony reason that my husband's going to the USA, is because he married me and wants to meet my family. If it weren't for that, he'd never apply after he had gotten rejected.

In the past seven years, yep. He has a job, we bought a house (cash, no mortage) and we're married. WE have a joint saving's account. He's now 28. We'd buy a car, but driving in lima is like having a death wish.

Compared to before he was 21 and still in uni, living at his parents.

WE just want a tourist visa, we don't want to live there. I left six years ago and don't plan on living there.

If he gets rejected, we might just try for a spousal visa as a last resort.

a tourist visa

So about how long would it take for a CR1/AR1 visa? Is it much easier than a K3?

Is the k3 visa no longer an option? So what visa do people file for nowadays?

My husband was denied three times for a visa, twice for a tourist and once for a student visa, but seven years ago. If he applies again, will he get denied just because he was denied three times before?

I've been told that new requirements have made it even harder for foreigners to get visas to the US, despite been married for years to US citizens.

I've heard that there's a loophole to getting into the US, anyone know if this is true? Since the US Virgin Islands are a territory to the US, when you go from there to the US, you don't have to go through immigrations. Many countries don't need visas to get to the US Virgin Islands. So can this be done? Anyone have experience with it

Everyone seems to have it on their signatures, what is it?

I-m a resident of Peru so would be doing a CR-1/IR-1 I think. Here is Peru with a DCF.

about how long does it take to file the k3?

And the concept of "simply getting a tourist visa" is another misnomer. Simple it is not. In order to get a tourist visa the applicant needs to overcome the presumption of "intent to immigrate." Since the applicant's spouse is already resident in the US the CO will have just about no choice but to deny because the presumption of "intent" will be very difficult for the applicant to overcome.

Does that make sense?

Actually, legally speaking, I gave up US residency on 19 Mar 2003, I'm a citizen, but not a resident. I'm a Peruvian resident.

Doesn't the k3 take a year to get?

And what does "touch" mean?

Seeing how much docs and time are needed for the K3 visa, is it possible to simply get my husband a tourist visa and then change it to a k3 visa in the USA?

WE're thinking of immigranting so that my husband can get US citizenship. For those of you who have gone through the process, about how long does it take to get a K3 visa if you're filing from Lima?

I got the information off the webpages here and the US embassy in Lima. I'm a bit confused, when do we have to get the birth, marriage and police certs?

Also about how long does it take from the time that you file from the time the visa is issued?

And how much does it cost to get fingerprinted?

Thanks

The thing is we think it would look better if he got a visa from the USA for a long time. It would be easier to get visas to other countries.

I have a strong connection here, I'm a resident with three ban accounts, apartment, have a job. Been out of the USA for four years, in Peru for 2.5 So I'm no longer a USA resident according to my tax forms.

My husband and I have been married for a year. We live and Peru and would like to get him a visa to go to the USA to visit my parents. however, we don't want to immigrate. We only would like to visit. Would this be a problem?
