it's just a simple letter from the person you're going to be staying with to be presented during the visa interview. https://citizenpath.com/faq/sample-invitation-letter-for-visitor-visa/#:~:text=Sample Invitation Letter for Visitor Visa%3A Friends&text=I would like to invite,to stay longer if needed.

I already know about this. So many people were able to reschedule to sooner dates (I've read very recent experiences)

The question is still regarding visiting the US to get married. I just need to know if it would be fine to put her name, address and relationship on the tourist visa application or not. Thank you for the added value to the thread! StackOverflow all over again!

What are you talking about? I need to fill out the DS-160 to apply for the said TOURIST VISA. How is that very confusing?

Thank you for the info! I have one detail that we're not sure if it would be okay or not. When filling up the online form DS-160, it asks where I'm going to stay and if I know someone who lives there. Should I put her address & the relationship as (Fiancee) in the states since I'm actually gonna be staying there? or would that just make it very difficult for me to get the approval? cause otherwise, I would have to book a hotel room. Also noting that I do have strong ties to Egypt; Since I work for a multinational corporation & mortgage to pay off every quarter.

Thank you so much!

That's interesting. I just looked up the Zoom Utah wedding and it seems like it's seen as illegitimate in the eyes of immigration officials? I'm not sure.

We're also not sure if we would be able to meet the required paperwork proof of relationship applying for a spouse visa. Since it requires proof that we're living together or sharing a bank account. While we would just be in separate countries and visiting each other once in a while. any thoughts on that?

Thank you for the reply! Do you have any advice regarding the second option? and if the USCIS would mind the fact that we wouldve gotten married on a tourist visa in the first place? especially since we read about the 90-days rule and that option only leaves us with getting married in the first week of the stay or so.

Hello everyone, We're a couple consisting of an American woman and an Egyptian man; we're currently trying to figure out the optimal way in terms of time and legality to get married and reside in the United States. We've done our research regarding the K1 and CR1. It does seem like the K1 could be our best option. Getting married in Egypt and then applying for a CR1 is not an option because of the absence of civil marriage in the Middle East along with other legal challenges (notary appointments, etc.) that would make it difficult to achieve or would take several months before we even get to file the CR1 paperwork, making the K1 actually faster. The problem with the K1 is the period of time spent not being able to work after getting into the U.S, as it could take up to a year if we’re unlucky. So, after searching more, we found out that there are ways to get married on a tourist visa by getting the foreign partner into the US on a tourist visa and then either: Get married after 90 days and then apply for Adjustment of Status and overstay until we get the interview for the CR1. Get married almost immediately after getting into the US and then leave the country on the specified departure date. Wait a few months (90 days?), and then apply for the CR1. Even though the first option would get us together faster, we’re not sure if it’s actually completely legal or not, and it possibly has the same issue of not having a work permit during the period we wait for the CR1 interview. Meanwhile, the second option sounds more doable since the foreign partner can work immediately after entering the US, but we’re still not sure if the USCIS would deny the application because we would have gotten married on a tourist visa or if that would be legal in the first place. We're hoping someone who has done something similar before (getting married on a tourist visa) could help us decide if that's even a legal option or not. Thank you!
