Yes, let's see if anyone else here supports the K1 route? 

The K1 has the expensive adjustment of status process that comes with it and he won’t be able to work for a while, so it’s not an ideal choice. Why do you think they should do the K1? 
 

Before they start anything, they should at least have some more (at least 1 more) visits in I think

We've known each other for close of 20 years, and I was out of status when we did. I'm no saint, I agree. 

 

I should have been more specific. You have known each other for 20 years, how many years of those 20 years were you in a romantic relationship then? 
 

You were out of status, so a marriage with a USC was a way to fix that and in that short period of time you already had an affair. You only just received your greencard and now want a divorce. From an outsider perspective these factors are already a little sketchy, and she might have even more info, so again: she might have good grounds to want to report you. Even if she does, it might not make a difference for your I-751 with a divorce waiver though. 

Site is having issues. I saw posts on Reddit from people with the same issue.

With so much time that passed by, you need to start the process over.

his all document still in embassy . he never took back. is he need to send letter to embassy  ? . how do he get back documents .or do  have to ask embassy . I filled case as his wife as US citizen then we will file all over again 

None of these documents will be up to date anymore anyways (I assume you are referring to police certificates, affidavits of support, etc. 

It looks like he doesn’t want to move to the US (anymore) Have you been traveling to see him in the last 12 years? 
 

Your post is a little confusing, are you the one living in the US?

True, although she’s not particularly interested in fields like digital marketing, computer programming , cybersecurity etc 

Companies don’t only outsource jobs in those fields. I work in Staffing and plenty of companies also outsource basic admin jobs. Order processing, quotes, etc. 
 

Part of me thinks that she is saying these things to you to convince you that she is not using you for a greencard. The fact that she has many US Citizen (and citizens of other countries that she is interested in) in her phone speaks volumes of course..

You mention that she told you that she only wants to be able to work in the US, but live with you in her home country. Technically she can already do that, there are plenty of US companies that have outsourced work to foreign remote workers.

Thank you so much for your reply! What happens if they don’t send the extension letter in time, though? How does he handle that with his employment? 

Nothing to handle with his employment, he doesn’t have to update anything (unless he is changing employers, that might get a little tricky with the I-9). 

Yes, that will be fine. He won’t lose his status or anything. 

Yes, that’s perfectly normal. 

Don’t pay attention to these estimates, they are highly unreliable.

I didn’t know that marrying twice was illegal cause I saw people get married online then do a wedding in person and thought that was a thing 😅. And yes my mom is just weighing all the possibilities which made me realize that I should in some way consider them too. He’ll be coming here and we’ll spend more time in person and if I still feel uneasy and eerie about it, we’ll either postpone or not go through. 

People have to meet in person after an online marriage, that is required by USCIS. They don’t get married twice, it’s just to meet the requirements from USCIS.

I don't think of it as a guarantee. More like would that stop him from marrying someone else in the US. Im overthinking a lot. 

Do not marry somebody if you don’t know or trust them enough, period. Maybe you 2 need to give this more time.

And to answer your question, once you marry, you are married. You cannot marry again, this marriage will also count in the US. 

No, the info that the lawyer gave you is incorrect. And even if it was correct, you wouldn’t be able to start working immediately anyway.

Depending in how long your partner has been in prison, they will very likely need a joint sponsor, so best to have one of those lined up too. 

Which option is ‘better’ is a personal choice. I wouldn’t want to be stuck in the US without being able to work or leave for a while. Not being able to financially support myself would not work for me, I wouldn’t be okay with that. Never understand how people manage to leave for a visit, yet still manage to just stay. What do you do with your rent/job, etc.? 
 

This is why I got married in the US but chose the CR1.

I don’t think that was OP’s timeline or info, I think they copied that from a facebook group to show a timeline from another person as a reference.

To OP: your spouse can have short visits while the immigrant visa is pending but she should not push it and keep the visits short.

The rules are there for my beneficiary's safety. They don't want someone bringing their spouse to the US if they believe they will use the beneficiary for human trafficking or abuse them in any way. I would need to be able to prove that I won't be a threat of any kind to my spouse for them to give me a waiver. Then if the waiver is approved I am allowed to start the K1 visa process

I thought you were the beneficiary, sorry! Correct, the rules are in place for the beneficiary’s safety. 

First check if you are even allowed in, not all embassies allow that. 
If they let you, you can join him if you want but it is not required

Those rules are in place for YOUR safety. 

It could be because of website maintenance, this happens frequently on weekends. I see many posts on Reddit from people who have the same issue. 

It can take up to 90 days. She should have received that info when she received her passport back with the visa in it. Was the immigrant fee paid?

Hi Daphne thanks for the help. The main thing is we just want to be together now and don't get separated anymore since we're truly in love. So marriage is a wise next step and the best for us. The waiting for the fiance visa is killing us now and also a spousal visa would cause trouble, since I have to wait in holland then for even longer. She can visit me only 3 months every 6 months in holland. With the Christian context I mean that traveling back and forth right now could cause danger while we're still dating and not married since we're already dating for 1.5 year.

You can still visit her while your CR1 is pending, I did the same thing and had no issues. So you could still see each other while your CR1 is pending.  I am not sure what you mean by "traveling back and forth right now could cause danger while we're still dating and not married since we're already dating for 1.5 years"? If you have your mind set on adjusting status, you can of course do that now, just make sure that you don't make short-term decisions with long-term consequences. Good luck!
