Which visa category specifically?

Not sure as to what the visa specifically will be though it will be some sort of workers visa which would allow her to work at InterVarsity for the graphic design internship.

All answers would be unreliable without this information.

Well yes I understand that but I don't know what are all the different work visas available though since most people tend to say a H1B visa is in hand then let's see about that one.

My Fiancée (who is from Kyrgyzstan) has applied and got accepted for a job working at InterVarsity within their 2100 Productions company for a graphic design internship. As of now we are raising support, so that she could possible start in January. We would like to get married sometime after that, probably around late summer/early fall if possible. I posted another forum question about my Fiancée coming to the States to work before marriage and one of the responses I got was that some may suggest waiting a year from when she comes into the country and then she could simply try to adjust status after the wedding. I see on here that it says that after the wedding she can apply for an adjustment of status, keeping her worker status, unless she'd use marriage-based EAD card, and as such she'd be able to travel outside/back into the States without having any advance parole. Now if she would want/need to change employers/employment, then she'd have to apply for a marriage-based EAD card. I understand that though with a marriage-based EAD card, her status will effectively be changed to "pending adjustment" based on the marriage, and as such she will need advance parole to be able travel outside/back into the States and so I don't quite understand that. I mean what is this advance parole she would need to be able to travel outside/back into the States and would the EAD card be a step towards permanent residency. See our plans involve my fiancée working at InterVarsity hopefully for at least a year (depends on how much support we can raise) and for her to become a permanent residence rather than a citizen so she can keep her citizenship to Kyrgyzstan, which in return would make it easier for when we/she would travel to visit her family and friends and in case we should ever decided to move there.

I really don't know where would be the appropriate topic section to put this under, so I though this one would probable work best. My fiancée who is from Kyrgyzstan (hence my username) has been looking into possible schooling opportunities as well as jobs within art. Several options she tried, Westminster in London (as they have full tuition scholarships available for those of emerging countries such as hers), art academy in London (though they have no such scholarships available) and an internship with InterVarsity for graphic design. As of last week she was informed by Westminster that she hadn't been accepted, which was very disappointing though they did suggest she tries again next year. As for the art academy in London, she was accepted but at $11,000 a year it's too expensive. Now as for InterVarsity (which is the main reason for this), right now she works for a Christian organization in Bishkek (which is the capital) called the IFES (International Fellowship of Evangelical Students) which is affiliated with InterVarsity and as such she started looking into possible opportunities to work within InterVarsity. She applied for a graphic design internship within their 2100 Productions company and has since been accepted. Now since it's an internship (which many of the jobs at InterVarsity are) she needs to raise support and the support needed is $1400/month which is certainly a lot for her considering she only makes $200/month within the IFES. Though it is a lot we are continuing to raise support and our plans as of right now are to try and raise the needed support so she can start working in January. Now my fiancée and I are eagerly awaiting marriage and had planned on getting married sometime late next summer though would it still be possible if she were to come here on a work visa for InterVarsity in January? I haven't been able to find any clear cut answer on the subject and I'm lost, so any help would be much appreciated and if you'd like more information on the situation or anything else mentioned, kindly let me know

hi, I live in the U.S. in Pennsylvania and my fiancee lives in Kyrgyzstan, we are planning on getting married as soon as possible. I've been looking over and filling out the K1 petition (have yet to send it in) and was wondering, would it be possible for me to go to Kyrgyzstan and get married and then apply for a CR1 visa and would that be any faster than the K1 visa process?

I started filling out the I-129 petition and was wondering when I go to send that in what all do I need to send along with it and after that's sent in what's the next step and how would they be contacting me? Also I live in Pennsylvania and so was wondering where would I need to send that all to, I'm kind of confused with where to send it as there is so many different locations, etc.?

I just this past November meet my girlfriend who is from Kyrgyzstan for the first time. We had a great time together, we hit it off right away and so I asked her hand in marriage which she immediately said yes to without hesitation. Now we discussed about where we'd live and so forth and after much consideration we decided it would be best for us to live in the States at this stage of our lives. Her trip lasted till December 2nd and now she's back home in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and we've just started the visa process, mainly just filling out the I-129 petition and gathering information. We're not sure how this process goes and what all we need to do in order for her to get a visa, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Also Her one friend back home mentioned that after getting a fiancee visa it takes a year before you can work and she prefers to work and so I was wondering could she apply for a work visa and then get married, that is if she would be able to find a job as she would like to either translate/interpret or teach Russian (as that's her native language and she has a degree in teaching English as a Second Language) and if so then what would be the process we would need to go through before we could legally get married and how long would it take?
